II. asserted that he appointed delegates In proportion to population. As to the Americans. Agulnaldo re marked that ha considered them as broth ers. That "th two sovereign republics were allied against a common enemy." When questioned as to whether the future of th Flllpplnoa would be abso lute Independence, Agulnnldo excused himself from replying, and asked what America Intends to do. The correspondent being unable to an swer this question Agulnaldo continued: "We have been fighting for Independence for a long time. The natives who profess to favor annexation are Insincere. It Is merely a rus. to ascertain American views." When asked If the Filipinos would reject the retention of Manila, Agulnnldo declined to answer. "Would the Filipinos object to the A merlcnns retaining a cooling station, If recognising- the Independence of the Is lands, or establishing a temporary protec tornts over them?" Agulnnldo again re fused to answer. Pending the conclusion of the Bssembly, Agulnnldo suld h. was conlulent there would bo no trouble between America ana the Filipinos.

AuglnaJdo complained that th. tipanlsn wer. disseminating these reports for the purpose of fomenting antagonism between th. Filipinos and the Americana. The wnple Interview conveyed the Ira prea.lon that Agulnaldo desires absolute Indppenuence, regarding the mission ot the Americans here as accomplished and expects their withdrawal "Just as the French with Lafayette withdrew after helping the Americans In the war of Inde pendence, a war of humanity." Just now Agulnaldo maintains the role of extrema friendship. TERKIPLE HOLOCAUST IN JEROME. ARIZONA. Greatest Loss of Life and Property Known In That Territory In Its History.
