The volun teers behaved nobly during the fight we had. They are good soldiers. ,|o,ooo Soldiers. "As to General Miles' bill to increase the United States army to 100.000. at present I cannot discus sthe proposed measure, for the reason that I have not s en a copy of it. I think it will take about thirty thousand soldiers to hold the islands In case this country desires to keep them —and I see no reason why it should not. “I have no comment to make on the eoca..ed expansion movement which is being discussed pro and con these days. There are many Spaniards on the islands that want to remain there. With fifteen thousand I’nlted Stales soldiers and the remaining fifteen thou son , evenly divided between the Filipinos and the Spaniards, I feel sure the islands could be governed properly and with credit to this country. "I did not meet Aguinntdo, but I am satisfied he is a very shrewd man. I did not recognize the Insurgents, fear ing complications. Admiral Dewey, af ter my arrival, pursu'd the same course. What was said or done,before my arrival i cannot state. I did not. recognize Aguinaldo nor his troops.nor use them in any way. I had been there t, n days before Aguinaldo asked to se? me and then I was too busy. ■Talking with leading Filipinos, I tohi them the I’nited States -had no promises to make, but they might be assured that the government and the people of this country would treat them fairly. "Purposely, we did not give the in surgents notice o* our attacks on Ma nila' because we did not need their co op-ration and did not propose to have It w<? were moved by fear that they might loot and plunder and possibly murder. Conversing with American officers Aguinaldo’s subordinate lead ers frequently said that they intend ed to cut the throats of all the Span iards in Manila. A Hard Task. "Aguinaldo himself wrote a com plaining letter, saying that. the. Inpur --gvittV had been denied their share Of "the booty,' whatever he /nay ■ have, meant bv that. I took'Bp notice of thisi -tui nor do I think the coapittinta: of the Filipinos is & matter for Sis- ■ cu"=ioa between Arainaldo and any! representative of the American gov ernment.
