Forgery.


Colorado Springs, COL, Oct. 1S.--
Louis X. Enrich, member Of the Ma
tional executive committee OF the An
ii-Imperiaiist League, today received
q telegram from Sixto Lopez. In Bos-
ton, one OF the foremost Filipinos and
man who stands near Aguinaldo,
denying emphatically the authenticity
OF the proclamation purporting to have,
been issued by Aauinaldo in January,
1899, in which the Philippine leader
instructed his followers TO occupy the
house tops along the line which the
American soldiers should follow in en-
tering Manila, and urging them to
pour oil and boiling water ON the sol
diers. The alleged instructions further
melted the Filipinos to use spears,
which would leave the head OF the
weapon in tha body Of the victim when
the shaft was withdrawn, and urged
other and varied forms OF torture OF
the American soldiers. Lopez's tele-
gram il addressed to Mr.. Enrich and
reads:
Boston, Mass, Oct. 12.--The proc
Iamation to which You refer is cium-
sy forgery, which is only believed by
bitter opponents. II is the work, no
doubt. OF the Spaniards or the monks.
who try to create i'll feeling between
the Americans and the Filipinos to the
discredit OF the latter. No such dis
graceful or diabolicai proclamation
was ever issued by Aguinaldo.
eixto Lopez's telegram was called
forth by query sent to him by Mr..
Enrich as TO the authenticity Of the al
legged proclamation.
