HOPE FOR ULTIMATE SUCCESS
Speech Hade at Anniversary of
Proclamation of Filipino
Independence.
A copy of The Independence has
reached Manila containing tho speech
which Aguinaldo made during the re¬
cent celebration at Tarlae of the anni¬
versary of the proclamation of Filipino
independence. In substance it is as
follows:
ardent “Tilipina, beloved daughter of the
sun of the tropics, commended
by providence to the care of noble
Spain, be not ungrateful to her salute
who warmed you with the breath of
her own culture and civilization.
“It is true, she sought to crush thy
aspiration for independence as a lov¬
ing mother opposes separation forever
from the daughter of her bosom. This
but proves the excess of love and af¬
fection Spain feels for thee. Filipina,
delicate flower of tbe cast, scarcely
eight months weaned from the breast
<>f thy mother, thou hast dared to
•'rave a great aud powerful nation
such as the United States after barely
organizing and disciplining thy little
nrmy. Yet wo reply we will be slaves
to none, nor nllow ourselves to be de¬
ceived by soft words. Let us continue
to defend our fatherland until inde¬
pendence is assured, for this is jus¬
tice. We shall see at last that the
great American nation will acknowl¬
edge tho right, which is on
our side, That doctrine of the
great Monroe, that America is for
Americans, is not forgotten. Just as
we affirm that the Philippines nre for
the Filipinos. Some states of the
American union have arisen in our fa¬
vor.
“Especially is the democratic party
convinced that both victors aud van
quishod will lose precious lives. Thus
many of the people and many states¬
men censure President McKinley as
inhuman for having ordered his mili¬
tary representatives at Manila to seek
means to bring about hostilities with
the Filipinos. These facts prove that
they wish to tty us to see if we are
able to live up to tbe second color of
onr banner, which signifies courage,
heroism and martyrdom.
“Therefore we should not rest in
this struggle with the Americans. In
spite of their expressed desire to dom¬
inate all the Philippines, well con¬
vinced are they that we tight with jus¬
tice and right on our side and that
autonomy is all a show of deceit,
only serring to Have certain accumu
latod wealth. We Lave never conceal
ed our aspirations, that we aspire but
to independence. independence.
“We might well accept this autono
my America offers, but what can we
do with it if our ambition is iude
pemlence and if we are to accept it to
later overthrow by force of arms the
sovereignty of America? As I believe
it is the intention of the autonomists
to make use of treachery and deceit,
w e cannot accept such a proceedure.
We do not wish to be traitors after¬
ward. We wish to show onr character
of frankness aud Mncenty . and nothing .
more. Let us avoid the example of
those natives, who having at one time
been colonists, accepted autonomy to
enable them to make their work surer,
once everything was prepared. Histo
ry has given us au example of this in
recent events.
“Let us persist iu our idea which is
the only legitimate and noble aspira¬
tion of_a people which is desirous at
all cost to preserve its national honor
spotless aud as pure as a crystal. Thus,
then, there will not be a single Fili¬
pino autonomist. Those who are so,
nre in the »yes of the people but time
servers, fearful of losing their riches,
threatened by risks of war.
“Filipinos, let us be consistent, let
us strengthen the bonds of our union.”
Aguinaldo concluded with calling
for three clieers for independence.
OLD SUBJECT REVIVED.
Ociof Gcnpral Wheeler’s Soar In
Congress Is I p Once More.
A special to the Chattanooga Times
from Birmingham, Ala., says:
“Since General Joseph Wheeler has

claring vacant his seat iu the house of
representatives begun. from The the Montgomery eighth dis¬
trict has
Journal, which is looked upon as the
organ of the state administration, was

’
overshadowing all the talk that has ]
been raised by the republican deter-!
miuatiou to make their presidential !
campaign on a straght defense of the
gold standard. ;
Senator Morgan s remarks aroquot
ed in part as follows,
“I very much fear that the demo
cratic party of the east and north can
not be brought into harmony with the
democratic party of the south and
west until we have a candidate who is
recognized for his wisdom and his
willingness to follow tho instructions
of his party when his party has the
power to issue its instructions through
legislation.
“I am a free silver man. I believe
the free coinage of silver is right and

situation that confronts us. To W-in
we must be reasonable and wise. There !

in the days when we stood solidly uu- !

against a common enemy. The ques- |

restored? can that condition of affairs be !
“My personal views nmy au'idea he of little
importance, but I have which,
if worked out, would* I believe, bring
the democratic party together and get
out every vote in the Country for the
man who would be nominated for
president. In my opinion we should
nominate a man who would Vie willing
to say to his party something like
this:
•When my party is able, in con
guess, to pass a free coinage bill, I will
u,* veto it, but will permit it'to be
come a law. Whatever my own opin
ions may be, I believe tbe combined
wisdom of the men of my own party
in congress is better than mine. It
might be possible that I should not,
personally, think a frCe coinage law
--------------- the proper thing to enact, but if * your
representatives in congress believe I
otherwise, if it is your judgment that
such a law will be for the best inter¬
ests of the country, such a law, when
enacted by you, will stand.’
“A man who will make such an an¬
nouncement and live up to it could
easily, I am sure, be elected by the
democrats to the presidential office.
“Then, if the people saw fit in their
respective districts to elect advocates
of the free coinage of silver,we should
have it.
“We must get rid of what we might
call fanaticism and act like sensible
men. When we - do this, _ , democracy ______
will again become triumphant, aud we
will all work together in harmony. 1
believe a man can be found who,while
not an extremist on the silver ques
tion, will follow the will of his party
expressed in legislation, and that,after
all, is the way, and the only way, in
which to settle this great question,

General Brooke, that commercial

during the day were Cleveland Wil

with Major Spence, of the regiuar

Baruesville, and Lieutenant Long
street, of Gainesville, comprise the
Georgia list as it has been completed
to date. These men have been com¬
missioned and their commissions have
been duly signed by the president.
Georgia is to have several other ap¬
pointments, two others, and perhaps
more, but the authorities hate not yet
determined, apparently, which they §1!
shall be of those indorsed.
It is almost certain, however, that
tlxe lucky ones will be selected from
Captain Clarke, of Elberton. who has
been strongly indorsed for the cap
tniucy; Captain Miller, of Augusta,
who is being urged by Colonel Dyer
and the republicans; Captain Kim
brough, of Griffin, and Captain Davl«
of Perry. Strong efforts are being made
to land all these.bnt it is said at the war
department that only eleven places are
to be given Georgia in all. Of course
there are a number of other applica
tions and all are strongly indorsed
The Georgia contingent has 'not
been able to get as much as was hoped

delegations are in the same boat.* Tbe

while this understanding was on a

ou h The senators and congressmen
hnd to contend against this list in
finding places for their southern con

While this special list was based on
SnistrationteXors^and clfngre^
men found their constituents cared for
fi rst . The Georgia senators indorsed
a numb er of applicants, indeed all of
those who had a good record, and the
final election was made by the war
department presumably on merit.
However, when there are so many ap
plieants it is n0 reflection on
who fail that others were chosen,
An effort has been made to distri
bute the appointments geographically,
but in nll cases the records made by
the men have been considered and os
tensibly at least their appointment has
been based on that. Senator Bacon
and Congressmen Lewis, Livingston
and Bartlett are in Washington mak¬
ing strong efforts to land other appli¬
cants. Their chances for success are
very problematical. Judge Bartlett
hasrecommendedbesidesKonan,Win- ship
and Kimbrough, Lieutenant New

tion, Captain Wylie, Captain Wall
a nd Captain Frank Currv.
The Twenty-ninth is'tlie regiment

surrounding states, and will be raus

Congressman Livingston has made

to have these put in the statehonse.

A Tallahassee special says: It has
just been discovered that the famous
“anti-scalpers’” law enacted at the
recent session of tbe Florida legisla
ture for tbe avowed purpose of driving
railroad ticket brokers out of business
in this state, is probably unconstitu
tional. This statute has hitherto been
regarded as ironclad and perfectly free
from constitutional objections, but an
investigation now being r^ade is prac
ticaily certain to precipitate a lively
battle in tbe Florida courts over the
validity of the law.

WAR DAMAGES DENIED.
Ml8 » twvre wanted sio.ooo From United
Government.
A Washington dispatch says: The
secretary of state has sent Ambassadot
Cambon, of France, an answer to the
latter ’ 8 recent letter submitting the
claini oif Miss Ivan Fai-re for $10,-000
damages attending tbe capture of the
French steamer Olinde Rodriguez, on
whicl1 sbe was a passenger, by tho
cruiser New Orleans during the bloclc
ade of San Juan.
Miss Favre’s claim recited that she
httd suff ered from an attack of fever
while at Charleston and the damages
were forthis a “d the indignities of the
detention. From the facts cited the
seoretaiy states that the United States
nayal authorities could not be charged
with an y negligence- in the circum
stance attending the capture.
The secretary reviews tho facts in
much detail and states in the conclu
LWgeWlWReaL*
ou this claim. The answer is likely
to establish a precedent on a large
number of similar claims. The secre
tar y sa y s the French steamer was first
observed by the cruiser Yosemite on
July 5th, and that an officer of the
Yosemite went on board and noted in
the log of the BodrigueZ that a block
ade of San Juan was in progress.
Miss Favre subsequently took pas
sage at Port Au Prince ou July 13th.,
On July 17th the Rodriguez was again
sighted off San Juan, whereupon she
was captured by the New Orleans. The
prize was taken to Charleston on July
22d and on August 5th all the passen
gers were released by court order and
turned over to the Freneh company.
Secretary Hay’s letter is accompa¬
nied by one from Attorney General
Griggs, giving facts submitted by the
United States district attorney at
Charleston bearing out in detail the
points made in the secretary’s letter.
He says the Ridriguez was anchored
off the battery in Charleston harbor,
in one of the most, healthful spots
along the Atlantic coast. The health
officer’s letter is to the same effect.
Aside from the bearing of his decision
on the individual case, it may have a
bearing also on the claims which may
be brought forward by the owners of
the steamer Rodriguez and of the La
Fayette, which was stopped off Ha¬
vana.
