MABINI SWEARS TO BE TRUE.
Returns from Guam to Manila and
Talks OF Allegiance.

MANILA, Feb. 26.-Mabini, the former
president of the Philippine Supreme Court,
and at one time minister of foreign affairs
of the Philippine government, who had
previously persistently refused to take the
oath of allegiance, took the necessary oath
to-day on board the transport Thomas, on
his arrival from the Island of Guam, to
which place he was deported after his sur
render in December 1899, and was permitted
to land. At the request of Mabini the hour
of his landing was not announced, so as 10
prevent demonstrations. Ricarte, the for
mer Filipino general, who had also been a
prisoner in the Island of Guam, arrived
here with Mabini. but as Ricarte refused
to take the oath of allegiance he was placed
on board the steamer Gaelic and sent to
Hong Kong. Both Mabini and Ricarte re-
fused to take the oath at Guam, Mabini
asking that he he allowed so doing until he
reached Manila. Governor Taft instructed
Collector Schuster to board the Thomas
and administer the oath. Mabini at first de-
INJURED, saying he came under the amnesty
decree, but he finally acquiesced. Ricarte
said he wanted to confer with his friends
and added that he might take the oath be-
fore the United States consul at Hong
Kong.
Gen San Miguel has evidently made good
