GEN. OTIS' REPORT.
clear that hostilities were not pro
voked by his army. That is self
evident. If Aguinaldo had not been
resolved to fight, he would not have
formed his lines within gunshot of
ours. When two armies holding
antagonistic views get as near as
that a collision is certain. Something
will inevitably happen to bring on a
battle. Gen. Oli3 refer? to the plot
in Manila to aid Agninaldo. It seems
that 8000 men in the city were band
ed to rise at the critical moment.
The conspiracy was defeated by the
precautions taken, but under less able
management it might have resulted
in a frightful general massacre. All
through the revolt the Tagals, with
the cunning of serpents, have avoided
an explicit statement of what thev
want. They have not asked, in so
many words, that we tear up the
treaty and sail awaj', on pain of
forcible expulsion, but that is what
they demand. It would not look
well formally expressed, so the' have
undertaken to carry the program
through without setting before the
world its full insolence and crudity
in attempted usurpation.
Events connected with the Tagal
revolt in Luzon . are reviewed ia de
tail in the latest official report of
Gen. Otis, which covers correspond
ence and operations to April 6th.
After leading this candid and business-like
statement, which Is entirely
calm in tone and fairly presents the
whole case, every American who
cares for his country will say that no
war in which this nation ever en
gaged was more righteous and neces
sary than that with the armed Tagals
of Luzon. Running through the
correspondence is Aguinaldo's de
mand for independence, and this,
even to the r resent moment, has
never been modified. Early in Jan
nary Gen. Otis appointed commission
ers to confer with Aguinaldo as an
individual, informing him then, as
always, that he (Otis) had no author-
-ity to "recognize any. national or
civil power not already formally
recognized by my government un
less specially authorized to do so by
the instruction of the executive of
Hie United States." The insurgent
commissioners declined to present
any formulated statement of what
they wanted, beyond the verbal par
adox that they desired "absolute in
dependence under the protection of
the United States." They were asked
to describe the nature and scope of
the protection referred to, but could
not explain, as might be supposed,
because a protectorate over an ab
solutely independent state resolves
itself into an absurdity.
. In a letter dated January 9th
Gen. Otis reminded Aguinaldo that
the treaty was pending in the senate,
and that the president could not an
nounce a policy until action on the
treaty was completed. The policv.
he added, must conform to the will
of the American people, as expressed
through congress. The Filipinos"
wrote Gen. Otis, "appear to be of
the opinion that we meditate attack,
while I am under the strict orders of
the president of the United States to
avoid conflict in every way possible.
There shall be no conflict if l am
able to avoid it; and still I shall
endeavor to maintain a position to
mee; all emergencies." In a letter
f the same date to Gen. Otis, Aguin
aldo spoke of "my government" and i
the assertion of , independence is
found in all his letters and proclama
tions. Later in January the native
outposts became insulting and ar
rested 6ome American soldiers and
a newspaper correspondent inside our
own lines. The Tagals insisted on
extending and straightening their
trenches, declaring openly that they
intended to drive the Americans out
Of the Philippines. :
Each day of forbearance on the
part of the Americans made the
Tagals more aggressive and eager to
begin the bloodshed. Finally, they
ignored the challenge of one of our
small outposts, and the firing at once
became general. Gen. Otis makes it
