That is Admiral Dewey's Opinion Of
AgulnaIdo.
He Testified Yesterday in Regard to
the Surrender of the
Philippines.
GIVES REBEL LEADER A ROAST

Washington, June Admiral
Dewey continued his testimony before
the senate com mittee on the Philip
pines yesterday. Replying to ques-
lions put by Senator Patterson, he
said that he had begun negotiations
with the governor general Of the Phil
ippines for the surrender of the city,
and the negotiations were conducted
through the Belgian consul. It was q
diplomatic negotiation, no letters
being written. The admiral said he
had informed General Merritt of the
proffer Of the governor general and Of
the arrangement that before the sur
render should take place he was to
engage an outlying fort and make the
signal according to the international
code, "Do you surrender" after
which the Spaniards were to hoist the
white flag on the southern bastion.
II may say" added Admiral Dewey
THAT I was the first to discover the
flag. Notwithstanding I had stationed
fifty men to look out for it. 1t was q
thick day, and l CHANGED to be the
first to discover It,"
Mr.. Patterson sought to secure
from Admiral Dewey an admission
that Aguinaldo had issued procla
nation Of independence to the Fill
pinos about the time of tine sinking OF
the Spanish squadron, but the admir-
al said he did not remember it, al
though it was possible that he might
have done so.
He said he regarded Aguinldo as q
robber who never had q thought Of
independence, and was out simply for
loot--for money. Sentaor Carmack
attempted to shake him but the ad'
mirsl was firm and reiterated his opin'
ion OF the rebel leader.
