merly secretary and confdant of General
Aguinaldo. arrived today on the Campania.

their fight with this country. While coming
UP from quarantine Lopez gave out the fol-
lowing signed statement:
My object in visiting the United States Is
not to interfere in American politics, but
solely to tell the American people what the
Filipinos desire in reference to the future
government of our country. 1t has been said
ests Of certain persons and parties. We. as
Fihpinos, know no parties In the United
States. We have only one desire-to seek
justice TOR our country.
Those who desire TO give us justice will no
doubt be glad to know the wants and condi-
tions OF the Filipinos. All we want is peace
with honor to both parties, and | hone to be
able to show that the conditions OF our coun-
try are such to fit US for the maintenance
Of that independence
AT the hotel he added to the statement the
following
The only additional matter to which need
refer is the publication OF my book on the
Philippines. 1t is chiefly a reply to Com
missioner Schurman's report and will con-
tain views Of the Filipinos on past and pres
ent events, with notes on history and eth
biography of the people.

pledged to reverse the wicked aud fatal
course which You stin join with us in

the republican party TO convert the repuo-
lie INTO an empire. In the new departure
OF the Anu-imperiallSt league which Will
then be Instituted and In It's endeavors to
AFFECT congress and public sentiment. We
shall rely upon your sympathy and CO.
operation TO conserve the salvation OF re-
publican principles, II 1t appears that it
can only be attained through redoubled
labors In opposition to the republican
party and administration II returned 10
power. they viii consider themselves in
dorsed in their nefsrous attempt to be-
tray the libertiea OF the people, though the
task Will be a harder enc than though 1t
were accomplished by the obvious means
afforded In tho coming election. Ii shall
be accomplished n God stlll reigas, IN
