leader iu Ihe Philippines, will siil for
New York Saturday, as he alleges,
to le-iiiiue his duties as represen

''The ouly ortiou of the Spaulsh
Ameiicau treaty which we aro concerned
iu is the cessiou of tho Philippines,
w hich is illegal, as tho Spaniards lost
theii sovereignly oer tho islaudsi, aud

at all ha.ardd to remain independent."
