ADMIRAL DEWEY
 DENIES STATEMENT
That He Promised the fiIipinos
 Independence.
A TISSUE OF FALSEHO0DS
Says in the Alleged Interview He is Addressed as Admiral, When at the Time He Bore the Rank
 of Commodore

Washington, July 23.-The letter received by Senator Pettigrew from one of Agui- naldo's generals, Alejandrino, containing an alleged account of an interview between himself and Admiral Dewey on board the Olympia in the bay of Hong Kong in April, 1898. in which it is said Admiral Dewey promised independence to the Filipinos, was shown to the Admiral today by an Associated Press representative. The Ad- miral characterized it as tissue of false hood" He declared 1t absurd on its face.
 II not only had no power to promise in- dependence to the Filipinos,' said he, but the whole tenor of the words put in my mouth stamps them as false. l am made 10 say things which I never thought of and which 1 could never have uttered You will notice that l am addressed in the al- leged interview as Admiral when at the time I was Commodore D
 The Admiral said he had never heard of AleJandrno
 Several Fiipinos, after much importun- ing, did come aboard the Olympia at Hong Kong. They were anxious to be taken to Manila. l considered ther representations of little importance,' said the Admiral, and did not take them to Manila. Later l gave permission to Aguinaldo and about dozen others to come to Manila.
 What they were anxious about at the time was an end of the tyranny of Spain, against which they had been fighting. Af- ter the destruction of Montejo's fleet the city virtually surrendered, and 1 am satis- fled that if we had had 5000 troops there at that time we could have gone ashore and been received by the Filipinos de- liverers. They had absolutely no thought then of independence. That was an after thought of their leaders during the interim between the sinking of the Spanish fleet and the arrival of the United States troops"
 Speaking of the report that Cuba was to be evacuated by American troops after the holding of the constitutional conven- tion, Admiral Dewey said he did not see how the United States could turn over the islands to the Cubans until a stable gov ernment had been established.
 We are responsible to the world for the orderly conduct of affairs in Cuba,' said he, and until such government is es- tabished 1 cannot see how we can with draw. We are confronted with a similar situation in the Philippines. The world looks to us, and no matter which political party wins in November, the United States cannot reHnquish the islands until a re- sponsible and stable government is set up there,"
