It has been received bv all the loreign consuls iq Manila with the request that they forward it to their respective governments. The Filipinos in their appeal for rec ognition, use their old argument that they had conquered the sovereignty ol the island (rum Spain before the sign ing of the treaty of Paris, and therefore Spain was in no position to cede them to the United States. They atgue that the possession of 7,000 Spanish prison era raptured with their ruis fighting against the Filipino is eloquent proof of the nullity ot Spanish sovereignty, a when they surrendered, Spain's hold was iirevocably lost.
