EMPTY CLAIMS OF FILIPINOS
Dewey Hade No Promise to Aguinaldo
A History of Events That Preeeded
the Spanish War. ;'-. ; ;. .
Washington, Nov. 4. In accordance
with the understanding reached at the
conference at the White House yester
day, the Philippine commission sub
mitted to the president the preliminary
report which it had promised to pre
pare. "'. ';'
The report appears to be a compact
summary of conditions on the islands
as the commission left them; of the his
torical events which preceded .the
Spanish war and led - to: the original
Filipino insurrection; of the exchange:
between Admiral Dewey and the othe
American commanders and the insur
gents, the breaking out and progress of
the present insurrection, and finally a
statement of the capacity of the ' Fili
pinos for self-gdvernment-A notable
feature of the report is a memorandum
by Admiral Dewey, explanatory of hi
relations with Aguinaldo. s . v'
The commission tells briefly how it
conducted the task intrusted to it,
hearing statements from all classes ol
people in Manila, as to the capability
of : the - Filipinos for , self-government,
the habits and Customs of the people,
and also the establishment of municipal
governments in many towns. - All thii
matter is to be included Jin the final
report. . v.. ;" " "'.:.-":.
'"History of the Islands, s
Turning to the history of the islands,
the commission attaches a little impor
tance to the divers rebellions which
had preceded that of 1896. As to this
movement, it declares it was in no
sense an attempt to win independence,
but solely to obtain relief from intoler
able abuses. To sustain this statement
the commission quotes from an insur
gent proclamat on showing . that what
was demanded was, the expulsion ol
the friars and the restitution to. the
-people of their lands, with a division
of the Episcopal sees between Spanish
and native priests. It . was also de
manded that the Filipinos have parlia
mentary representation, freedom of the
press, religious toleration, economic
autonomy and laws simlar to those ol
Spain. The abolition of ihe power oi
banishment i wag demanded, with a
legal equality for all persons inlaw
and equality ' in "pay" between; SpantBii
and native civil servants. '
, The commission declares that these
demands had good ground; that on pa
per the Spanish system of government
was tolerable,' but in practice, every
Spanish governor did. what he saw.' fit,
and the evil deeds of men in the gov
ernment were ' hidden from Spam by
strict press censorship. " Allusion ie
mado to the powerful Katipunan so
ciety, patterned on the Masonio order,
and mainly, made up of Tagals, as a
powerful revolutionary force. , w
- The war begun in 1896 was termin
ated by the treaty of Biao-Na-Bate.
The Filipinos were numerous,, but pos
sessed only about 800 small arms. The
Spanish felt that it would require 100,
000 men to capture their stronghold,
and concluded to resort to the use ol
money, .
The arrangement was not acceptable
to the . people. The promises were
never carried out. ' Spanish abuses be
gan afresh, in Manila alone 'more than
two 200 men being executed. Hence
sporadic revolutions occurred, though
they possessed nothing like the strength
of the original movement. The insur
gents lacked arms, ammunition and
leaders. The treaty had ended the
war, which, with the exception of an
unimportant outbreak in" Cebu, ' had
been (.'confined to Luzon, Spain's sov
reignty in the islands never having
been questioned and the thought of in
dependence never having been enter
tained, r '
The report then tells how General
Angustini came to Manila as governor
general at this juncture, and war broke
out between Spain and the United
States.-' Angustini sought to secure
the support of the Filpinos to defend
Spain against America, promising them
autonomy, but the Filipinos did not
trust him. Then came the first of May
and the destruction of the Spanish fleet
by Dewey,, with the resulting loss ol
prestige to Spain. ; Then in June, Agui
naldo came. '-
" Kelatlona With Agnlnaldo.- '
On this' point the commission says:
"The following memorandum on thie
subject has been furnished the com
mission by Admiral DeweyV :
. " 'Memorandum of relations with
Aguinaldo: , On April 24, -1898, the
following' cipher dispatch was received
at Hong: Kong from E. ' Spencer Pratt,
United States consul-general at Singa
pore: - - . ' :
" " "Aguinaldo, ' insurgent ; leader,
here. Will come to Hong Kong, ar
range with commodore for general co
operation insurgents Manila if desired.
Telegraph. . V . .,; PRATT.' ",
" 'On- the same ! day - Commodore
Dowey telegraphed Mr.' Pratt: 'Tell
Aguinaldo come soon as possible." The
Gunboat Sank a Poacher. , :
San'Francisco, Nov. 4. The whal
ing bark Charles A. Morgan, which ar-,
rived today from Japanese waters,
brings the story of - the sinking of a !
Japanese sealing schooner by the Rus- j
sian gunboat Alexis. The schooner, '
which carried a crew of 21 men, was
caught poaching on Russian sealing
preserves. - . '
Three of her men were picked np by
the Russian's boats, but the rest were
drowned.
aecessity for haste being due to the
fact that the squadron had been notified
by the Hong Kong government to leave
those waters by the following day.
The squadron left Hong Kong on the
morning of the 25thr and Mirs bay on
the 27th. Aguinaldo did not leave
Singapore until the 26th, and so did
not arrive in Hong Kong in time to
have a conference with the commo
'dore.' - ". '-'
' "It had been reported to the commo
dore as early as March 1 by the United
States consul at Manila and others,
that the Filiipnos had broken out in
insurrection against the Spanish author'
ity ' in the vicinity of Manila, and on
March 80 Mr. Wlliams had tele
graphed: 'Five thousand rebels armed
in camp near city. Loyal to us in case
of war.' -, .
Upon the arrival of the squadron at
Manila it- was found there was no in
surrection to speak of, and it was ac
cordingly decided to allow Aguinaldo
to come to Cavite on board the MoCul
loch. He arrived, with 18 of his staff,
on May 19, and immediately came on
board the Olympia to call on the com
mander-in-chief, after which . he : was
llowed to land at Cavite and organzie
n army. This was ; done with the
purpose of strengthening the United
States forces and weakening those of
the enemy. No alliance of . any kind
was entered into with Aguinaldo, noi
was any promise of independence made
to him, then or at any other time." -
: First Idea of Independence.
The commission's report then rap
idly sketches events now historical. It
tells in substance how the Filipinos at
tacked the Spanish, and how General
Anderson arrived, and Aguinaldo, at
his request, removed from Cavite' to
Bacoor. "' " - ' ;:- . -
The 1 report states that Aguinaldo
wished to attack the ' Americans when
they landed at Paranaque, but was de
terred by lack of arms and ammuni
tion. From that point on there was a
growing friction between the Filipinos
and the American troops.
A brief chapter tells of the lack of
success attending the effort made at
this time by Generl Merritt, through a
commission, to arrive at a mutual un
derstanding with Aguinaldo as to the
intention, purposes and desires of the
Filipino people. - - v -
The Outbreak.
This brings the story up to the out
break on the evening of February 4,
with the attack upon the American
troops following the action of the Ne
braska sentinel. The commission, in
concluding this chapter, says:
"After the landing of our troops,
Aguinaldo made up his mind that it
would be necessary to fight the Ameri
cans, and after the making of the
Jxeaty of peace at Paris his determination--iwa4
strengthened. He did not
only openly deolare that he intended to
fight the Americans, but he excited
everybody, and especially the military,
by claiming independence, and it is
doubtful whether he had the power to
check or control the army at the time
hostilities broke out. Deplorable as
war is, the one in which we are now
engaged was unavoidable. We were
attcked by bold, adventurous and en
thusiastic army. No alternative was
left to us except ignominious retreat.
- "It is not to be conceived that any
American had sanctioned the surrender
of Manila to the insurgents. Our ob
ligations to other nations and to the
friendly Filipinos and to ourselves and
our flag demanded that force should be
met with force. Whatever the future
of the Philippines may be, there is no
course open to us now except the prose
cution of the war until the insurgents
are reduced to submission. ; The com
mission is of the opinion that there has
been no time since the destruction ol
the Spanish squadron by Admral Dewej
when it was possible to withdraw our
forces from the ..islands, either with
honor to ourselves or with safety to tht
inhabitants." ' 1 1 '
: ."Should our power, by any. fatality,
be withdrawn the commission believes
the government of the Philippines
would, speedily lapse into anarchy,
which would excuse, if it did not ne
cessitate, the invtervention of other
powers, and the eventual " division oi
the islands among them.'' Only through
American occupation, therefore, is the
idea of a free government and unitl
Philippine commonwealth at . all con
ceivable. : '-;-'"' -vv
GOVERNOR GEER PROCLAIMS
November SO a Day of Thanksgiving
Things to Be Thankful For.
. Salem, Nov. 8 Governor Geer today
proclaimed November 80 a day of gen
eral thanksgiving. The proclamation
among other things contains the fol
lowing: -
"The year - just drawing to a close
has been one of general happiness and
contentment. . The earth has' given
forth abundance , of its proudcts, for
which in all cases better compensation
has been received than in former years.
Our laboring classes are more generally

tion, to carry forward the banner of
progress and enlightenment, and the
task is being performed with willing
nees and enthusiasm that do credit to
our recognition of duty that we could
not shirk if we would and would not ii
we could." -

Campaign Under Way
In the Islands i ?
HOT CHASE-AFTER AGUINALDO
A Fleet mt Transports and Cunftosta
Bail to Co-Operata With land Farces
End Next Sprlns. ,
' Manila, Nov. 7. This evening a fleet
of transports and gunboats left Manila
for the most important expedition of
the autumn campaign. Its destina
tion is supposed to be Dagupan, or
some other northern - port. General
Weaton commands, with a brigade con
sisting of the Thirteenth infantry, the
Thirty-third infantry, two guns of thei
Sixth artillery and two gatlings. The
transports Sheridan, Francisco de Reys
and Aztec carry the troops, with that
gunboat - Helena as escort. ". A dis
patch boat was sent ahead to arrange'
a rendezvous with the United States
cruiser Charleston and the warships
that are patrolling the northern coast
of Luzon.,
It is assumed here that the purpose
of the expedition is to move down the
Dagupan-Manila railroad towards
Tarlao, in order to prevent Aguinaldo 's
forces making another base - farther
south. Dagupan and Apparri are the
strongholds of the insurgents in the
north. i ' ; ,
It hasbeen the unanimous opinion of
military experts that Dagupan should
be made a base of operations, but suffi
cient troops have heretofore been lack
ing. With Generals Wheaton, Mac
Arthur and Lawton moving upon Tarlao
from three directions, and the moun
tains hemming in the other side', : the
insurgents'- capital will soon become
untenable, Aguinaldo may attempt to
shift his headquarters to the rich tobac
co country at the northern end of . the
island. It will be difficult . for the
insurgents to escape. Should the
scheduled operations succeed, organ
ized insurrection on a barge scale should
bejat an end early next spring, although
guerrila warfare is likely to continue
for a long time. No one . anticipates
that the insurgents will make many
hard battles.
Manila, Nov. 7. 10:15 A. M. Two
columns of Generals MacArthur's divi
sion yesterday took Magaling, about six
miles northeast of Angeles. Colonel
Smith, with two battalions of the Sev
enteenth infantry, two guns of the First
artillery, and a body of engineers,
advanced from " Angeles. ' Major
O'Brien, with a battalion of the - Sev
enteenth infantry and two troops of the
Fourth cavalry, moved from Calulut.
Colonel Smith killed 11 insurgents,
wounded 128 and captured 60, as well
as taking a lot of insurgent transporta
tion. .: Major O'Brien killed 49 insurg
ents, wounded many and took 28 pris
oners. The Americans had 11 men
wounded.
Retreat Cut Off. '
London, Nov, 7. The war office has
issued the following announcement: .
- "The colonial office has received in
formation to the effect that the British
troops have withdrawn from Colenso
and have concentrated further south,
