AgunadO Asks Permission to Visit United States and Appear Be-
fore COngress-ThrIIing Campaign of American
Troops In Island of Samar

Manila, Iov. 2O-Aguinaldo has
written to General Chafee, the military
governor of the Philippines, asking the
latter's permission to go before con
gress and express the desires of the
Filipino people. Aguinaldo further re-
quests to be accompanied by eight
friends whom he designates, four of
whom are prisoners at Guam, while
the others are prominent in Manila.
SiGtO Lopez, who has been in the
United States and in Europe in the
interest of Filipino matters, and is
now at Honkong, has written to Gov
ernor Taft asking to be exempted from
taking the oath of allegiance to the
United States upon his arrival at Ma
MIA, asserting that this action might
injure his labors in behalf of peace.
A fund is being raised by the federal
party in Manila for the purpose Of at
tempt to exempt from execution Gen
eral Isidoro Torres, who surrendered
to the American authorities in the early
part of this year, and who was later
tried on charges of having violated
the rules Of warfare and sentenced to
death. Several congressman will be
asked to exert their influence in favor
of General Torres.
Major l. W T. Waller of the marine
corps has cabled Rear Admiral Rodgers
at Manila a full and detailed account
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1901-11-21

Of the attack on Nov. by the men Of
his command upon the rebel stronghold
at Sajoton, near Basey, island of Sa-
mar.
Three insurgent camps were de-
strOyed, forty bamboo cannon were cap
tured and much rice and other stores
were destroyed. The rebel stronghold
was almost impregnable. The trails
leading to it were lined with poisoned
spears sticking from the ground. and
were filled with hidden pitfalls.
Major Walters command attacked
the enemy unexpectedly To do this
they had TO scale a cliff 200 feet high.
This they climbed barefoot, over BAN
boo ladders. At the top they found
bOulders piled ready to precfpitate upon
an attacking party.
Major Waller says he was personally
not present at the action. He praises
Captain David D. Porter and Captain
Hiram Bearss for their splendid work.
and says too much praise cannot be
given TO the marines themselves. whose
behavior he characterized as brilliant
in every respect. The major considers
the scaling of cliffs 200 feet high as
a new feature of warfare, and saws
such men would be able to do anything
anywhere. Thirty of the enemy were
killed. The marines sustained a few
trihingw ounds
Rear Admiral Rodgers has replied to
Major Waller, cOngratulating him upon
the successful action by his command.
