he remained unmolested until the Spanish-American

espoused the rebel cause, being for a
time convinced that there was a real

Ocampo was, however, too strong a par
tisan and of too bold a disposition to
remain silent under such circumstances;
and It became known that while not
agitating openlv against the "Americans
he privately and even semi-publicly ex
pressed his conviction that the islands
should be independent. He assisted In
editing a newspaper. La Patrla, which
adopted a critical attitude toward the
American regime. This conduct finally
led to his arrest and deportation to
Guam. In company with other leading
Filipinos. After the establishment of
civil government he was permitted to
return to Manila, and he subsequently
accepted the Inevitable and took the
oath of allegiance to the United States,
which ho has since conscientiously kept
so far as Is known.
Although acqulesclne- to the defacto
existence if Amerlcst sovereignty In
the Islands, Ocampo has never benn

liminary to eventual Independence. But
while he expressed -his views freely
upon occasion, he5 has usually done so
with discretion, and has publicly ad
vised the people to accept the situation
and to work for Independence along
peaceful lines. In recent years he has

an American like Mayor McClellan in
above the denizens of the lower east
side, or Mr. Bryce Is above the inhabi
tants of the slums of London. Such
comparisons sre odious, but It Is Import
ant that Americans be not misled Into
erroneous conclusions about the political
capacity of our Insulsr wards. There
are a comparatively small number of
such men as tho Filipino delegatea
among the natives of the Islands.
Senor legarda has visited the United
States once before, at the time of tho
St. Louis exposition. He is fairly con
versant with the Kngllsh language.
Senor Ocampo has never been away,
from his own country except to Ouam,
and speaks very little English. He ex
pects, however, to take up the study of '
the language ne aoon as he reaches
Washington, and his mental capacity is .
such that he will not be long in ac
quiring proficiency in It.
On the whole, a candid observer of
events snd conditions here cannot but
feel that the selection of Iigsrda and
Ocampo to be resident commissioners In
the I'nlted States Is a hopeful sign, atld
a favorable augury for the future. .
