WHAT FILlPINOS FIGHT FOR,
with All that the Word Sig,
nifies, Says Sixto Lopez. 6

! Boston, February 1o,-Robert Treat
Paine. president OF the American Peace
society, has just received Letter from
Senior sixto Lopez, which shows the pttl-
tude' OF tho Filiplnos on the question Of
bringing the war to close.
Robert Treat Paine. Esq. President Of
the American Peace scciety, Boston
| The Arlington, Washington, D. c.,
January 20, 1901 Dear Mr.. Paine: I
have to thank you for your most inter
esting letter. which reached nae via Chi
cago and Philadelphia, and 1 now hasten
to reply
| fear that you have misunierstqol
my statement Of the terms upon which
the Filipinos would be prepared to end
this most deplorable war. The Fllipln3s
will never accept American sovereignty in
the sense in which that word is generally
understood whether they would accept
suzsranty would also depend upon the
definition of the word and the powers
which 1t implied. But let mc now briefly
state what / intended to convey to you
on January /.
The administration Is demanding GER
tain rights in the Philippines These
are, SO far as | can discover:
l. The right and the means TO fulfill
certain Unexpectedly obligations to other
nations.
2. The right and the means to protect
life and property-forelgn and native.
3. basis of trade and military opera
lions for the Far East
4. Coaling stations
8. The right, or the desire, to raise US
by a process called benevolent as
slmila on''-out of condition of cav
agery which does not exist in our coun-
try.
In order TO obtain these rights the
administration demands that our people
shall surrender Internationally. and SUD-
nit to American sovereignty.
The Filiplnos on he other hand, de-
mand one "unalienable right" namely,
independence; or she right to "institue''
a government deriving its just powers
from the consent" not CT any foreign
nat!cn, but, "of the governed" l. is
only by the exercise of this right that
the Flipinos will be able to secure equla-
Bile laws, ensure just administration ana
prevent the exploitation of their coun-
try and its resources.
But while firm in this demand, the
Ftlipnos are prepared to yield to the
United States everything included or
/ implied in the abova list from I to in
I
prepared 10 repay. in whole or in part,
the S2O,00O,00 paid 10 Spain, II the de-
mand be made by the United States.
AS to paragraph D. he Filipinos do not
want aud will not accept any hing IN the
form of benevolence or charity from any
nation in the world. But II any Ameri
can citizen or citizens desire to embark
in missionary enterprise, and If they
really think hat there are those in the
Philippines who need special enlghten-
men, they would be at li9erty to spend
their missionary zeal without lei or him
drance. The FllipinGs would only reserve
tho right 70 recommend that such mis-
sionary zeal be expended on SPAN, or
Turkey, or Russia. or he east end Of
London, or perhaps in some parts of
America. where education and enliGhten
ment are more urgently needed than in
the Philippines.
1t will therefore be seen that every
