ment Issued by the state department

"In a recent dispatch to the de-

under date of Arrll 12.- 1900. and pur
porting to have been written from St

ands. In that letter Alexandreno says:
"In April. 1SS. in the absence of my
chief. Aguinaldo. who was then nt
Singapore, I solicited through the
American consul-general at Hong Kong,
Mr. Wlldman, to have some Inter
views with Admiral Dewey. My peti
tion was favorably received and I went
with Andrea Garchiterena and another
Filipino (Sandico) on board the Olyni
pln in the bay of Hong Kons."
1 Then follows what purports to have
1 been n Interview between the writer
and Admiral Dewey in which Dewev
promised the Filipinos Independence
nnd assure them that the United
States would not take an Inch of the
Philippines. Wlldman says:
" As I am personally acquainted with
the writer (J. Alexandreno) and am
familiar with all his movements while
he was In Hong Kong and conducted
whatever negotiations there were be
tween himself and Dewey, I think It my
duty to place on record a triu state
ment of the affair. Admiral Dewey
never saw this man or had one word
with him."
The dispatch from Wlldman was re
ferred to tl navy department for the
information of Admiral Dewey who, in
his reply, comments thereon as fol
lows: '"Attention Is Invited to the follow
ing extract from page 172. rep.ut of
the Philippine commission, volume 1:
No alliance of any kind waa entered
