NEW YORK. April 26.-Sixto Lopez,
who has been active in advocating the
cause of the FiIipinos, Is in New York
Oh a short visit, and talked freely to-
day about what he considered the stu
alton in the Philippines. Senor Lopez
refuses to admit anything, and, start
ing with this premise. almost succeeds
in freeing AguinaIdo in the coUTse of
his conversation. He is an interesting
tallcer, and one point which is particu-
larry impressed on his hearer is his in
innate knowledge Of American history.
Why did you rot return to the Phil
ippines while fighting was in progress?''
he was asked Gould you not be of
more service there than here?''
1T is always dangerous to accept the
recommendations of an opponent" he
replied. I must be the judge Of what
is best for me to do. There are already
more fighting men in the Philippines
than can be provided with arms And
there is a lot to be done here: many
misa apprehensions 10 be corrected. Why
don't you go and fight for America in
stead of putting these questions to
me?"
"Of what actual service have you
been to the Filipino cause heTe?'
Let others Judge that. If can do a
tenth of what William Lloyd Garrison
did for the cause of liberty and aboIi-
ton of slavery, shall be satisfied"
DO you intend to return to the Phil
ippines?"
YES
viii you then swear allegiance 10

No"
DO you not consider Aguinaldo's act
in taking the oath Of allegiance to mean.
the end of the war?"
Certainly not That has been said
many times. but the Filipino cause
still lives"
What do you think Of Aguinaldo's
swearing aIlegiance2"
1t all depends under what circum-
stances he has taken the oath Of so
called allegiance If he took it beIiev-
ing that It would be the quickest way
of obtaining independence, then he
would be personally justified"
What effect will his capture have on
your cause ?
1t VIII have its advantages and d-s-
advantages. There are other men able
and willing tc take his place"
DO you not consider Aguinaldo sin
cere?"
Sincere in what? In the opinions
others have expressed for him? 1 can
:4ot say"
What ls your personal opinion of
your good friends Edward Atkinson
and others-our so-caIIed anti-1mpariaI-
ists?"
i think they are good. honest men,
with 2 regard for national honor and
liberty"
What material benefit. aside from
elf-advertisement. have they been to
the Filipinos2"
The anti-inperialists are working
in the cause of America and human
liberty. We are working in the cause
of the Filipinos and human liberty. We
