lion, and says:
"Tbe Filipino naturally suspect
these a new attempt to horubug
them. Both Dewey an ! Spencer Pratt
promised os independence if the Fili
pino republic wss stable. Tbe Fili

the commission is a 1 use to gain time,
until they have accumulated forces,
when America, abusing ber strength,
will begin a war to ratify her aov
ereignty. "Tbe purchase by the American au
thorities at Hong Kong of a number
of steam launches for rivet work in the
Philippine islands Is high handed, un
necessary and vexations. Domiciliary
visits thionghout Manila are exasperat
ing the Filipinos. Their suspicions
are aroused by such actions. Tbe dis
patch of reinforcements ia incompatible
with peace, and the appointment of a
commission is only a pretext to gain
time. The American seciet police is
acting offensively toward the Filipino
at Hong Kong,, who are British sub
jects." Every available male is being re
cruited, and arms depots are being es
tablished at San Bernardino, Union,
Trinidad ant ether large towns. The
sin rounding eonutry ia being levied on
for supplies, and the Filipino ticop
are living on the fat ot tbe land, while
the native villagers are compelled to
subsist on rioe.
There is some friction between the
Filipino civil snd military officers, but
they are united on tbe question of in
dependence It is estimated there are
fully 30,000 Filipinos under arms, and
it is said that there are nearly 50
Maxim guns at Maloloe, some ot them
being Beotetly acquired.
