M WANTS CASH
Proposes to Levy a tax On

AND THEY ARR KICKING
Conflicting Interests Create a
Crisis.
Manila, September 24.—The
Filipino congress engaged in the
consideration of th* question of
raising funds to defray the heavy
expenses of the maintenance of the
army pending a decision by the
Paris conference.
Hitherto'he army of the Fil
ipinos has been chiefly supported
by public subscription, bat now
the native government contem
plates the imposition of various
taxes. The inhabitants of the
northern provinces, however, es
pecially of Pampaug and Ilocos.
flatly refuse to pay land or poll
taxas because it was the popular
impression that the revolutionists
would abolish taxation entirely.
The natives of Pampang and
Pangasinan, the two richest agri
cultural provinces of the island
and those of Ucos and Zatnhales,
who are the sturdiest mountaineers
dis'rust the Taga’s and insist upon
the establishment of an American
protectorate.
Yesterday the aieembly debated
the question of a land tax A ma*
jority of th=i members were op
posed ts the maintenance of a
burden unequally distributed and
unduly favoring the Tagals and
demand that a statement of ex*
penditurus ba submitted before the
matter was decided. Tbe state
ment was not forthcoming and the
question was shelved.
Aguinaldo realizes the difficulty
of reconciling the conflicting in
terests, but hopes that the nations
will allow the Filipinos a fair
chance to sho* that they are capa
ble of self-government.
Aguinaldo desires the Associated
Press to inform the world that
“there is conclusive evidence that
many Spaniards and priests are
intriguing with a faction of the
natives to foment disturbances so
that Americans will believe the
whole population to be irrecon
cilable.”
He asserts that lhe intiiguere
pay money and provide uniforms
to persons who impersonate rebel
officers and enter tbe town and he
accuses Engine Blanco of being
the chief paid agent of these in
trigues.
In the course of an interview
with the Associated Press corres- ‘
pondent. Aguinaldo said that the
Filipinos fleet comprises eight
steamers, which are now engaged
in convoying troops for a grand
campaign against the Spanish gar
risons in the southern islands-
These vessels are practically un
armed. ;
The Spanish gunboat El t Cano
he says, recently entered Masbati
and caught and sunk the Filipiio
troop ship Burisan, which was
lying at anchor there .
He admitted the recent purclase
of tbe steamer Abbey, formerly
the Pasig, but denied that shehad
landed rifles and ammunitioi at
Batang, although he admittecthat
she carried two maxim’ aid a
ship load of stores.
The United States steamer

It is believed that the Abtey has
landed 7.000 rifles.
