The formation OF a Federal Filipino
party has a highly satisfactory sound,
but those who expect marked imme-
date results are likely to be disap-
pointed. AS a loyal leaven whose in.
auence may eventually extend to the
rebels It is a good beginning and may
thus be a factor in bringing about 4
lasting peace under American rule. The
spirit Of revolutionary fanaticism is 81
thoroughly instilled in the Filipino
character that the reformation must be
decidedly slow. Even the rebellioui
South was a much more hopeful prop"
osition because Of the degree of horse
sense possessed by the leaders Of tho
Confederacy as well as the intelligent

ippine Islands and first president of
the Madrin junta. has Just arrived in
New York from Canada.

Americans are not subservient to Am
orleans and while I don't approve Of
the American methods employed in
the Philippines, I'd rather be free
American than an enslaved Filipino"
Senior Fontela was lawyer and
editor in Manila. When the war be-
gan he was Aguinaldo's chief adviser.
Driven out Of the Philippines by the
american soldiers, he fed with his
wife and five small children to Mad
rid. There he established the first
Filipino junta and was made its presi.
dent. With an idea that such junta
would flourish In Canada he left Mad
rid and went to Montreal. He has
been there for the past several weeks.
You hear so much Of American in.

planned that It was safe for him to re-
turn to the Philippines and resume
his law practice and the publication Of
his newspaper were he willing to
swear allegiance to the stars and
stripes.
I'm no hypocrite.' he explained.
"and cant take such an oath when my
people are in struggle which must
end in death or freedom. I will not

Regarding the formation of a new
party under which the United States
officials will rally the Filipinos to the
colonial policy, Senior Fontela said:
This scheme is doomed to failure.
The leaders, Buencamino and Pater.
