"WILL BE GOOD.”
Agdintldo Expected to Js
siJiiie Conciliatory Attitude’
NOfffY RUNNING BHY)
* * 1 -j
And His Followers not so Quick
to Obey.
Manila, Dec. 3—Owing to
the fact j that the result of the
Pa r i.- conference bus long been
anticipated here, tho agreement
here of Spain to da the Philip
pine islands to the United States
created uo excitement.
The Americans made no dem
onstration, commercial circles
were relieved, the Spaniards
were indifferent and some of the
American volunteers were dis
gusted at the prospect of being
retained here now that, the
fighting is finished.
Aguinaldo is certain to assume
:i conciliatory attitude, because
his position is daily becoming
more untenable. His rival iu
riguers are becoming uncon
uollable, especially since funds
‘have run short, and the outlying
provinces have become disaffect
ed. Although never much more
than a figure-head. Aguinaldo
has been consistently temperate
and the authorities have no rea
son to fear that he will depart
from this policy.
Nevertheless, the native news
papers continue to publish in
llamatory articles. The Republi
ca Filipina today publishes ,»n
article headed “The Moment Has
Arrived.”
“When the conferenc termin
ated its labore,” says this paper,
rhe Filipinos bad already con
quered all of the islands of
Luzon and the adjacent islands,
except the towns of Iloilo, Cebu,
Lavle and Samar. Therefore,
Spain lias ceded authority which
she did not possess. The Filipi
nos will never consent to the
ignominy of being treated as
chattels. They will shed their
olood in torrents again befcre
bowing to foreign dominion,
however light.
“America brought the great
jhief Aguinaldo from Hong
Kong and recogniz dour nation
ality by allowing our flag to be
raised at Gorregidor island and
to sail the bay in full sight of
ill the foreign fleets. None
dared to interfere. If America
now declines to openly acknowl
edge our independence, a great
injustice will be committed. Had
Spain asked $40,000,00® for the
islands, the Filipinos would
gladly have given twice that
amount, or more, to preserve
their rights, ruthlessly set aside
by the enemy and the nation
without a true understanding
of the aspirations, rights and
■ acrifices of those who have
stood torture enough and who
were left to fight and sutler in
defense of their country from
new slavery.”
In conclusion, the article af
firms the friendship of the Fili
pinos for Americans, insists that
the insurgents will nevei fire th
first shot and adds that vbe bat
mony existing will only be bro
ken by “pi iests or traitors in
ducing the Americans to attac
us.”
to the future Republic of Cuba at
the close of the occupation by th*
United Status forces, .f that tim*
ever comes, which most public
men here seem to doubt.
