Manila, Kept. Itt. Tho Philippine
general asaemhly waa inaugurated at
Malo Lo yesterday with great enthu
siasm. There were thousands of visit
ors from the provinces, and a great dis
play was made. Aguinaldo, at 0
o'clock iaj tho morning, entered the
hall 'd the convent recently occupied
by the Spanish local government. It
is an extremely plain room, adorned
only With some religious pictures.
The insurgent leader wa in evening
dress, according to the Spanish custom.
The others wore ordinary costumes.
Aguinaldo, who was received wltb
cheers and also with cries of "Viva
America" by the largo crowd of native
inside and outside tho hall, read a do-
iee convening the members, who in
cluded several Spaniards. He uelt
read a message eulogizing tho army,
and thanking the friendly nations
which had set the historic exaiujdo of
liberty and had assisted a down trod
den race. Continuing, Aguinaldo
urgently and eloquently exhurted the
assembly to "follow thu noblest prin
ciples" and invoked the "spirit of tha
martyred Filipinos."
The assembly then adjourned for
the day, A Spanish delegate sug
gested that business bo resumed hi the
afternoon, but a Filipino objected, and
accused the Spaniar I of attempting to
uuderiiilno the constitution. To thii
the Spaniard replied that ho was a sin
cere republican, and that his own de
sire was thu welfare of the countiy.
Whereupon, the Filipino apologized,
and tho proceedings terminated.
During tho afternoon many Ameri
cana and Kiiropeana arrivod, and Agui
naldo was kopt busy receiving visitor,
including thu American consul.
The press curresHiudeut had a pri
vato interview with Aguinaldo, who ia
extromely unwilling to compioinise
himself with the natives. He said
that a majority uf the Filipinos had
been struggling for freedom fur yeur
and oentuiles, and that they now be
lieve that their object ha been at
tained. Aguinaldo professed entire
ignorance of the autonomous system in
vogue in tho Biitiih colonies, of pro
tectorates and of American autonomy.
He laid be was unable to understand
the idea, and only understood "ab
solute Independence. " Personally lit
beliuVed a protectorate foi the Philip
pine islands was unnecessary, bul lit
feared that the people would ho diaap
pointed iu this. He had not studied
political economy and knew nothing
about the various forms of government.
He inquired whether Australia was an
American colony, and said he had
never hoard of a Malay protectorate.
Continuing, the insurgent leader
said theto was mi need of protection
for thu Philippine islands, because the
Filipinos weie able to cope with any
army. He admitted that he had never
seen a foieign at my, with the excep.
tion uf the garrisons at Hong Kong and
Blagftpore, ami ho had never seen these
troops on parade.
Aguinaldo declined to discuss tha
American army and protested his un
dying gratitude tn thu Americans.
Hu said they had coinu to the Philip
pines to tight thu Spaniards only, and
now that they had finished the task, it
was to be expected that they would ro
turn to America. He was unwilling
tn believe that the Americans would
demand a reward for an act of human
ity, and ho declined tu admit the neces
sity uf a quid pro quo.
Tho Filipino leader expressed him
self von llil in t that the newly founded
government would build s navy ulti
mately. Iuthe meantime, he said,
the great nations should protect and
aid any young nation, instead of grab
ung hoi territoties. If thu Americana
should refuse to withdraw, the national
assembly, he said, must decide the
jsilicy to bo pursued a policy which
he declined to foieoast.
Fitither conversation was prevented
by the strains ol a brass hand, but
(leneial Aguinaldo waa interviewed
also hy a doaen Aiueiicun journalists.
A Spaniard, supposed to beau officer,
nnuniformed, traversed tho town,
sneering at and denouncing the princi
ples of the Filipinos. Ou his resent
ing a friendly remonstrance, he was
placed under arrest.
Several Filipinos assured the cotie
spondent that they have personally
witnessed horiihle tortures at Hollo)
the feet ol natives held to a candle
(lame for hours, electric cm rents ap
plied to the most sensitive parts ol the
body and various uiiuaiueable atrocitios
all intended to extort confession.
This ia s arcely credible, but there are
numerous alleged witnesses ol such
outrages, and several who show sores
of recent origin and unhealed. Sumo
say they escaHd only through bribing
tho Spanish officials. It is natural
that there should be a yearning (or re
venge upon the Spanish prisoners at
Malo Los, but these are not maltreated.

The next commander of the Iowa

leiving ship at the Norfolk navy-yard.
He will take the ship aiotind South

panvof tho Oregon and some collier.
It i laid at the navy department to
day that tho orders to the battle-ships
have not yet been issued, and thai
when they aie, they will ultimately
proceed to join Dewey's fleet at Ma

to reinfoioe him. Hut as the journey
