Conspiracy Perfected.
This was dated Jan. 5, 1800, just one
snonth before ihe insurrection against the
Caited States broke out. It shows that
the conspiracy had then been perfected
and that the Filipino people were being
organized to attack the American troops.
Two days later, on Jan. 7, Agninaldo
wrote to a personal friends In Manila as
follows:
"Malelos. Jan. 7. 1800.
My Dear Don Benito I write this
to ask you to send to this our government
Kho photograph you have in your bouse,
aad I will pay you whatever price you
aaay ask. Also buy me everything which
auy be necessary to provide the said pho
tograph. T beg you to leave Manila with your
family and to come here to Malelos, but
at because I wish to frighten you. I
aoerely wish to warn you for your satis
faction, although it is not yet the day or
the week.
"Your affectionate friend, who kisses
aoar hands.
"EMILIO AGUINALDO."
TrylnBT to Avert Hostilities.
Meantime the American commander-ln-eiiief.
under instructions from President
McKinley. was doing everything in his
fiower to avert hostilities and cultivate
terms of friendship with the Filipinos.
Oa this point the report of the Philippine
commission says:
"Aguinaldo endeavored to get the war
snaking power transferred from congress
to himself, lie also urged a heavy bond
Isaue to secure one million dollars for
the purchase of arms and ammunition. It
la now known that elaborate plans had
been perfected for a simultaneous attack
by the forces within and without Manila.
. The militia within the city numbered ap
proximately ten thousand; they were
armed for the most part with bolos. Gen.
rfodc! Pilar slept in the city every night.
tie definite date had been act for the at
tack, but a signal by means of rockets
bad been agreed upon, and it was univer
sally understood that it would come upon
the occurrence of the first act on the
Bart of the American forces which would
afford a pretext; and in the lack of such
act in the near future at all events. Per
sistent attempts were made to provoke
or soldiers to fire. The insurgenta were
Insolent to our guards and made persist
ent and continuous efforts to push them
back and advance the insurgent Tines fur
ther into the city of Manila. It was a
tons and trying period of insult and abuse
heaped upon our soldiers, with constant
submission as the only means of avoid
lot au open rupture. The Filipinos had
concluded that our soldiers were cowards
and boasted openly that we were afraid
f them. Humor were always prevalent
that our army would be attacked at once.
"With great tact and patience (he com
landing general had held bis forces in
check, and he now made a final effort to
preserve the peace by appointing a com
mission to meet a similar body appointed
by Aguinaldo to 'confer with regard to
the situation of affairs snd to arrive
at a mutual understanding of the intent,
purposes, aims and desires of the Fili
pino people and of the people of the Unit
ed States.' Six sessions were held, the
last occurring on Jan. '.'0, six days before
the outbreak of hostilities. No substan
tial results were obtained; the Filipino
commissioners leing either unable or un
willing to give any definite statements of
the 'intent, purposes snd aims of their
people;' at the close of the last sexsion
they were given full assurances that no
hostile act would be inaugurated by the
United States troops.
"The rritical moment had now arrived.
Aguinaldo secretly ordered the Filipinos
who were friendly to him to seek refute
ntside the city. The Nebraska regiment
at that time was jn camp on the east line
at Santa Mesa, and was guarding its
front. For days before the memorable
4th of February, 1800, the outposts in
front of the regiment had been openly
menaced and assaulted by insurgent sol
diers; they were attempting to push our
en t posts back and advance their line.
They made light of our sentinels and per
sistently ignored their orders.
"On the eveaing of the 4th of Febru
ary aa lasurgeat officer came to the froat
vitn detail of men and attempted to
pass the guard on the Sun Juan bridge,
our guard being stationed at the west
end of the bridge. The Nebraska sentinel
drove them buck without firing, but a
few minutes before 9 o'clock that evening
a large body of insurgent troops made un
advance on the South Dakota outposts,
which fell back rutber than tire. About
the same time the insurgents came in
fore to the east end of the San Juan
bridge, in frout of the Nebraska regiment.
For several night prior thereto a lieu
tenant in the insurgent army had been
coming regularly to our outpost No. 2. of
the Nebraska regimeut, and attempting
to force the outpost back and insisting
on posting bis guard within the Nebraska
lines; and at this time and iu the dark
ness he again appeared with a detail of
about six men and approached Private
Grayson of Company 1), First Nebraska
volunteers, the sentiuel on duty at out
post No. 2. He, after bulling them three
times without effect, fired, killing the
lieutenant, whose men returned the fire
and then retreated. Immediately rockets
were sent up by the Filipinos, and they
commeuced firing all along the line.
"The atory of the actual fighting baa
often been told by military men who
were engaged in it, and we do not deem
it iiecessary to give a description of it
here. It Is known of all men that imme
diately after the first shot the insurgents
opened fire all along their line and con
tinued to fire until about midnight; and
about 4 o'clock on the nioraing of Feb.
.r the insurgents again opened fire all
around the city and kept it up until the
Americans charged them and drove them
with great slaughter out of their trenches.
"After the binding of our troops, Agui
naldo made up bis mind that it would be
necessary to fight the Americans, and af
ter the making of the treaty of peace at
Paris this determination was strengthen
ed. He did not openly declare that he
intended to tight the Americans, but he
excited everybody, and especially the mil
itary men, by claiming independence, and
it is doubtful whether he had the power
to check or control the army at the time
hostilities broke out. Deplorable aa war
is, the one in which we are now engaged
was unavoidable by us. We were attack
ed by a hold, adventurous and enthusias
tic army. No alternative was left to us,
except ignominious retreat. It is not to
be conceived of that any American would
have sanctioned the surrender of Manila
to the insurgents. Our obligations to
other nations, and to the friendly Fili
pinos, and to ourselves and our Hag de
manded that force should be met by force.
Whatever the future of the Philippines
may be, there is no course open to us
now except the prosecution of the war
until the insurgents are reduced to sub
mission. The commission is of the opin
ion that there has been no time since the
destruction of the Spanish squadron by
Admiral Dewey when it was possible to
withdraw our forces from the islands
either with honor to ourselves or with
safety to the inhabitants."
On the very night the actual fighting
began AguinHldo issued the following:
Order to the Philippine Army.
Nine o'clock p. ra., this date, I received
from Caloocan station a message com
municated to me that the American
forces, without prior notification or any
just motive, attacked our camp at San
Juan del Monte and our forces garrison
ing the blockhouses around the outskirts
of Manila, causing losses among our sol
diers, who, in view of this unexpected
aggression aud of the decided attack of
the aggressors, were obliged to defend
themselves until the firing became general
all along the line.
No oue can deplore more than I this
rupture of hostilities. I have a clear
conscience that I have endeavored to
avoid it at all costs, using all my efforts
to preserve friendship with the army of
occupation, even at the cost of not a
few humiliations and many sacrificed
rights.
But it Is my unavoidable duty to main
tain the integrity of the national honor
and that of the army so unjustly attack
ed by those who, posing as our friends
aud liberators, attempted to dominate us
In place of the Spaniards, as is shown
by the grievances enumerated in my man
ifest of Jan. 8 last; such as the continued
outrages and violent exactions commit
ted against the people of Manila, the use
less conferences, and all my frustrated
efforts in favor of peace and concerd.
Summoned by this unexpected provoca
tion, urged by the duties imposed upon
me by honor and patriotism and for the
defense of the nation intrusted to me,
calling on God as a witness of my good
faith and the uprightness of my inten
tions. I order and command:
1. Peace and friendly relations between
the Philippine forces and the American
forces of occupation are broken, and the
latter will be treated as enemies, with
the limits prescribed by the laws of war.
2. American soldiers who may be cap
tured by the Philippine forces will be
treated as prisoner of war.
3. This proclamation shall be commu
nicated to the accredited consuls of Ma
nila, and to congress, - in order that it
may accord the suspension of the con
stitutional guaranties and the resulting
declaration of war.
Given at Malolos, Feb. 4. IS'.lll.
E.MILtO AGUINALDO.
General in Chief.
To Attack the Americans.
The following proclamation was issued
by Aguinuldo's Secretary of the Interior
on Feb. .1. 1S!K:
First You will so dispose that at 8
o'clock at night the individuals of the ter
ritorial militia at your order will be found
united in all the streets of San Pedro
armed with their "bolos" nnd revolvers
and guns ami ammunition, if convenient.
Second Philippine families .n!y will
be respected. They should not be mo
lested, but all other individuals, of n hat
soever race they may be, will lie exter
minated without any compassion Hfter
the extermination of the army of occupa
tion. Third The defenders of the Philip
pines in your conimnnJ will attack the
guard at Hilibid and liberate the prisoners
and "presidiarlos." and. having accom
plished this, they will be armed, saying
to them, "Brot hers, we must avenge our
selves on the Americans and exterminate
them, that we may take our revenge for
the infamies and treacheries which they
have committed upon us. Hire no com
passion upon them; attack with vigor.
All Filipinos 'en masse' will second you.
I.ong live Filipino independence!"
s
Fifth The order which will be follow
ed in the attack will be as follows: The
sharpshooters of Tondo and Santa Ana
will begin the attack from withont, and
these shots will he the signal for the
militia of Troso, Binoodo, (Joiape and
ffampaloc to go ont Into tfce street and do
their duty. Those of Paeo, F.rm'ta and
Malute, Santa Crux aud San Miguel will
uot start out until 12 o'clock unless they
see their companions need assistance.
Sixth The militia will start out at 3
o'clock in the morning. If all do their
duty our revenge will be complete. Broth
ers, Kurope coutcmplutes ns. We know
how to die as men, shedding our blood iu
defense of the liberty of our country.
Death to the tyrants; war without quar
ter to the false Americans, who have de
ceived us! Either iudeendeuce or death.
"The Klre in lbs Roar."
"The fire in the rear" bus done more to
prolong the insurrection iu the Philip
pines and stimulate the rebel chief to re
sistance than all the armies Aguinaldo
ha been able to raise. On this point.
Gen. Lawton wrote as follows to Mr.
John Barrett, formerly American minis
ter at Siam:
General Lawlon'i Letter.
"I wish to God that this whole Philip
pine situation could be known by every
one in America as I know it. If the real
history, inspiration and conditions of this
insurrection, and the influences, local and
external, that now encourage the enemy,
aa well as the actual possibilities of these
Islands and peoples and their relations to
this great East could be understood at
home, we wonld hear no more talk of
unjust 'shooting of government' Into the
Filipinos or of hauling down our Aug
in the Philippines.
"If the so-called anti-imperialists would
honestly ascertain the truth on the
ground, and not in distant America, they,
whom I believe to be houest men misin
formed, would be convinced of the error
of their statements and conclusions aud
of the unfortunate effect of their publica
tions here. If I am shot by a Filipino bul
let. It might as well come from one of my
own men, because T know from observa
tion confirmed by captured prisoners, that
the continuance of the fighting is chietly
due to reports that are sent out from
America."
"IIKNHY W. LAWTOX."
Acuinaldo and the Democrats.
In October, 1800, Aguinaldo published
a signed manifesto in which be said:
"We ask God that he may grant the
triumph of the Democratic party in the
United States, which is the party which
defends the Philippines, and that impe
rialism may cease from its mud idea of
subduing ns with its arms."
The revolutionists follow every utter
ance made by the Democratic enemies
of the administration, and by those hos
tile to the acquisition of the Philippines.
Here are some statements that have been
printed and published by the Filipinos:
la Honor of Mr. Bryan.
"In the United States meetings and
banquets have been held in honor of our
honorable President Don Emilio, who
was proclaimed by Mr. Bryan the future
President of the United States, as one
of the heroes of the world.
"The Masonic society, interpreting the
unanimous desire of the people, together
with the Government, organizes a meet
ing and popular assembly in this capital
in favor of the national independence,
which will take place on Sunday, the
20th, in honor of Mr. Bryan and the anti
imperialist party which defeuds our cause
in the United States.
"Ail the Masons and all the Filipino
people are called to take part in this
solemn act. The meetiug will be com
posed of three parts: First At 8 in the
morning on the 20th, a gathering in un
appropriate place will take place, which
will begin by singing the national hymn;
then appropriate speeches will be read.
Second At midday a banquet will take
place in the palace in bouor of Mr. Bryan,
who will be represented by American
prisoners. Third At 4 in the afternoon
a popular manifestation will take place
everywhere the people will decorate and
illuminate their houses, bunds of music
will pass through the streets."

Next in nn extract from La Indeprn
dencia, a newspaper published in the
Philippines:
Mr. Bryan, the competitor of McKin
ley in the last presidential election and
the candidate selected for the future by
the Democratic purty, has published a
manifesto which has caused a profound
sensation in the United States.
Mr. Bryan announces himself decidedly
opposed to the imperial policy of the
Government, and jdiowa the danger in
which American institutions will be plac
ed by this entirely new ambition for
colonization. He asks that the
regime instituted in Culm be applied to
all the territory taken from Spain,
To place the American yoke on the
millions of natives who wish to be free,
200.000 men will be needed.

EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES.
Proincta of Onr Factories Are Now
Hold la All Parts of the World.
The increase in the exportation of
American manufactures for the past year
is one of the most remarkable features of
our foreign commerce. We now com
pete with the nations of the world la
every market, and we more than hold our
own everywhere. Our total export of
manufactures for 1000 amounted to
$432.2S4.3liti, an increase of $!2,00N,"O8
over 1800, the largest ever known, for in
no preceding year has the increase ex
ceeded $."jO,000,000.
Of the total exportntions for the year
manufactured goods formed 31', per
cent, or nearly one-third, sgainst 28 per
cent in 1S!0. 27 per cent in 1807, 23 per
cent in 180.".. 204 per cent in 188.".. 15
per cent in 1870, and 12 per cent in
1800.
To put the results in a still more strik
ing way it may be stated that in IStiO the
total exports of manufactures were $40,-31.-1,802.
and in 1!XM) were $432,284,300,
while all exports In IStiO were $333,507,
057. and in 1000 were $1,304,180,371.
From these figures it will be seen that
the total exports of 1000 were only four
times greater than the total exports of
lSiSO, but the exports of manufactures
were ten times greater in 1000 than they
were in 1800.
In other words, in 1Si!0 manufactures
formed but 12"i per cent of the total ex
ports and in 1000 they amounted to 31
per cent.
These are the undeniable facts and
figures, and they prove that not only
does a protective tariff protect the home
workingmun and give him high wages,
but it enables the American manufac
turer to so enlarge his business that he
can successfully and profitably enter into
the markets of the world.
COMMERCE AND FINANCE.
Proofs of Prosperity front the Treas
ury Burean.
Never In the history of the United
States has there been a more prosperous
year thun that which ended June 30, last.
That is the time when the general gov
ernment makes up its books and draws
a balance to see how the nation stands,
just as merchants and manufacturers
take account of stock at the end of their
business year.
The report for the government fiscal
year is now published and every citizen,
as a member of the great firm of "Uni
ted States & Co.." may well be gratified
at the showing. We have trade in every
part of the luhuhitnlile globe and have
interchanged commodities with every
people.
Our business for the year amounted to
the enormous sum of $2,243,001,041, sur
passing everything ever before known by
nearly fT.'O.OOO.OOO.
We sold to foreign countries merchan
dise valued at $1.304. 180.371, and we
bought from them to the value of $810,
714.070. leaving a balance in our favor
to be paid to us iu gold, or to be credited
to future accounts, of $."V44,471,701.
A business firm, showing a balance on
it. sales in a proportion like this, would
be pretty sure to feel that it was doing
a safe and prosperous business.

That labor actually receives the great
est share of our country's prosperity is a
fact carefully concealed by the calamity
howlers. Labor receive this by drawing
yearly the greater share of the products
of industry. The census of the United
States, Extra Bulletin No. C7, contains
an array of figures dealing with the man
ufacturing industries of this country, and
it shows the following figures:
I'roduct total manufactures In -.
law $!.370.107.W4
MaterlaYand cost 5.7S.M2.4U
V ages cost ",-S-i,s--.l.-oo
Balance to capital 1,2117,471,948
These official figures show that labor
has a yearly income nearly twice that of
capital, and this yeur's census figures
will be even more interesting.
Western Mutes Republican.
During the present year it will be possi
ble to carry the States of Idaho, Nevada,
Wyoming, South Dakota and Montana
on prosperity and the wool question, with
a remote chance of Colorado and Utah,
as wool-growing in these States is a very
Important Industry. These States voted
for Bryn last time on the silyer ques
tion. The wool growers have received
such substantial benefits from the Ding
ley tariff act, and prices obtained are in
such strong contrast with those obtained
under the free trade tariff, that the wool
growers are convinced of the advantages
of protection. Even the Governor of
Idaho, a Democrat, is a purchaser of
sheep ranches in that State. He is talk
ing very little about free wool.
Prosperity Kverywbere.
The most notable feature of the great
prosperity wave is the manner in which
it baa swept over the entire cquntry, not
a single locality or a single industry es
caping its stimulus. The liest evidence
of this is in the hunk clearings. In New
York iu 1800 they increased nearly 43
per cent; iu Pittsburg, 57 per cent; In
Cleveland, over 32 per cent. Scuttle
showed a gain of 5t per cent; Salt Lake
City, 43 per cent: Birmingham, Ala.,
nearly 44 per cent; Boston, 30 per cent;
Minneapolis, 17 per cent; and throughout
the whole country the average gain was
30 per cent over 1808 and 03 per cent
over 1807.
Savings of Waice-Karners.
So steadily are the Democratic papers
and orators engaged in applying epithets
and abuse to any who are prosperous,
and speaking in tragic tones of the "con
centration of wealth," that the actual fig
ures escape them. In 1800 the deposits
in all the banks of the United States,
national nnd savings, amounted to the
enormous: sum of $7.r.l 4.000,000. Of this
great total the savings hunks and the
State bunks the depositories of the so
called poor people held nearly one-half.
It will be seen from Ihe above figures
that wealth is fur from being concen
trated and the cry about it should be
dropped.
Prosperity in Pennsylvania.
The official reports of the State banks,
tru.it companies and savings banks in the
State of Pennsylvania, since 1802, show
that prosperity has arrived in that State.
