 pelago.

Washington. Jan. 20.-Secretary Root today transmitted to the Senate and House copies of petition received by him through Governor Taft from Aguinal- do. the late insurgent leader in the Philippines. The petition is remarka- ble presentation of the conditions now existing in the Philippines and Secretary Root hastened to send it to Congress be- cause it went a long way toward sup porting the statement he had made 10 inc committees of that body and also demonstrating the necessity for prompt and exhaustive action on the part of the Congress to prevent disaster and distress in the archipelago. The Secretary's let ter of transmittal attached particular inn- portance to Aguinaldo's profession of a desire to do everything in his power to aid the Americans in carrying relief meas ures and developing the islands.
 The petition says In part:
