SOUND on IMPERIALISM.
Admiral Dewey Docs Not Know the Filipino
Camp Follower.


Washington, July 3l.-The letter
received by Senator Pettigrew from
one of Aguinaldo's generals, j. Ale
iandrino, containing an alleged ac-
count Of an interview between him
self and Admiral Dewey on board the
OLYMPIA April Is, 1898, In which it Is
stated Admiral Dewey promised in
dependence to the Filipinos, was
shown To the admiral today by an
Associated Press reporter. The I'D
mirnl characterized it a "tissue OF
falsehoods." He declared 1t absurd
ON itsface.
81 not only had no power TO prom
Use independence to the Filipinos,'
said he, 'but the whole tenor Of the
words put In my mouth stamps them
as f~alsehoods. / am made to say
things which l never thought OF and
which l never could have uttered.
"You willnotice that | am address
ed in the alleged interview as 'ad-
miral,' when at that time ! was a
commodore" The admiral said he
had never heard of Alsjandrino. Sew
eral Filipinos, after much Emporium
ing, came aboard the Olympia at
Hong Kong. They were anxious to
be taken to Manila.
IL considered their representations
OF little Importance" said the admir-
al, "and did not take them to Ma
Mia. Later / gave permission to
Aguinaldo and about "A dozen Others
to come to Manila.
"All they were anxious about at
that time was an end OF the tyranny
of Spain, against which they had
been fighting. After the destruction
OF Montejo's fleet the city virtually
surrendered and l am satisfied thatif
we had had 5000 troops there at that
time, we could have gone ashore and
been received by the Filipinos as de-
liverers.
"They had absolutely no thought
OF independence. That was an after
thought OF their leaders during the
interim between the smashing OF the
Spanish fleet aud the arrival OF the
United States troops"
Speaking of the report that Cuba
was to be evacuated by the American
troops after the holding Of the con
stitutional convention, Admiral Dew
ey said he did not see how the United
States could turn yer the islands I'M
til a stable government had been es-
tablished.
