Fiste Warren, the first man to take
the oath of allegiance required under
the recent act of the Philippine com
mission of all suspects attempting
to land, has been closely identified
with SiXto Lopez. Many reasonable
and infiammatory proclamations were
found in his baggage. Regarding
these he said he held only one copy
of each, having retained these as
souvenirs. 1t is known also that he
was intimate with the members of
the junta in Hong Kong. He at first
objected to taking the oath, saying
that he was a loyal citizen; but he
signed it when notified that on no
other condition would he be allowed
to land. Some of his fellow-pass
gers told Civil Gov. Taft that Warren
and Lopez shook hands and retired
for consultation upon hearing of
President McI<inley's assassination.
