Objections was raised to the question,
some of the Republicans holding that a

tending that it was asking the witness
to derive an inference based upon an act
upon which he had only hrarsay knowI-

The question OF the extent Of the mill
tary cooperation between the American
and Filipino forces in the capture of Ma
Mia was the subject OF the cross-exam-
ination of General Macarthur this morn
ing by the Democratic members OF the
Senate Committee on the Philippines.
Mr.. Culberson recalled q letter writ
ten by General Anderson, in which the CO
operation of the Filipino forces was re-
quested. and General Macarthur declared
that the fact that this letter was sent
would probably indicate that Filipino CO.
operation was sought for the attack on
Manila, If If were not for other circum-
stances On the night before the battle
a telegram was sent TO the Filipino head
quarters. saying:
Inform AguinaIdo that the battle TO-
morrow is between the Americans and
the Spaniards. and he must not partiei-
pate in any way whatever"
To this reply was received from Agui-
naldo next day, showing that he had re-
ceived the caution, but nevertheless the
FfIipinos did participate in the attack On
the city. So far as his own knowledge
went. the witness declared that there was
no cooperation between the Filipino and

CHINESE GOVERNMENT
APPEALS FOR AID
Imperial Government Wants the For
eign Troops Removed from Tien
Tsin-United States Will
Plead the Cause of
China.

Washington. July 5.-The Chinese gov
eminent has appealed to the government
of the United States to use Its good
Offices to cause the allied powers who
still retain their soldiers in Tien-Tsin to
evacuate that place in conformity with
the spirit of the agreement OF Pekin,
which settled the boxer troubles. This
appeal was made today by Minister WI
directly to Secretary Hay In the shape
of a cablegram from Viceroy Yuan Shin
Kai, of Chi Ii. which the minister sup
plemented with long verbal explana-
ton:
The cablegram says:
"In the final protocol signed by the
different powers. there is no stipulation
that supplementary convention VIII De
made I'm regard to the restoration OF
Tien Tsin. But the foreign military OFF,
GERS at Tien Tsin have arbitrarily given
rise to fresh complications and drawn
up many articles limiting to 800 the num-
her of Chinese guards to be stationed at
Tien Tsin. within the limit of 80 kilo-
meters. Since the brigands in the vicin-
ity of Tien Tsin. on account of the loot
ing OF the arsenals in 1900. are generally
well armed IL would be impossible Tor
such small force to suppress and pun
the city and vicinity. and preserve order
generally.
The military officers appear TO he WILL
ing To restore the city, but in really
they wish to delay: there is reason to
fear that their action is not by any
means for the public good. The foreign
ministers at Pekin do not approve their
action, and they have repeatedly remon-
strated with them: but the military OFF,
GERS have not been willing to come to an
agreement. The ministers and the mill
tary officers each hold to their own
opinions. which greatly impede the
progress OF our affairs. | request you 10
ask the government of the United States
To consult with the other governments,
so that instructions may be sent TO the
different military officers direct. ordering
them To accede to the suggestions or
the foreign ministers to the end that the
restoration may not be further delayed.
The author of this message, Uan Shin
Eai. has taken the place of the late Ii
Hung Chang to "A large extent in domi-
mating Chinese foreign policies, and the
United States government Is the more
disposed to heed his appeal because of
his excellent conduct during the boxer
uprising.
Secretary Hay will address himself to
the various governments, probably
through Mr.. Conger at PeSin. and the
foreign ministers there located. The
situation at Tien Tsin is peculiar. and in
the view OF the state department the at
titude Of The foreign military officials
there is unreasonable.
