THIS IS 1101' AN ULTIMATUM
Filipino Says Insurrection Still Existed
When Our \Var With Spain “'as Decluv
_ red—His Countrymen Want Complete
Independence, ' i
Washington, D. 0., Jan. 31.-:Sixto
. Lopez, secretary to Agoncillo, the Phi-
lippine representative, called at the
state department yesterday afternoon
and left with the chic f clerk anothc1
communication addressed to the sec-
retary of state, protesting against the
attitude of our government toward the
Filipino "republic."
The terms of the protest do not go as
far as an ultimatum. The same fate
awaits this communication that
which betel its predecessor—it will be
diplomatically ignored._ -
Accompanying the communication is
a long memorial, addressed to the Sen—
ate. containing a comprehensive argu-
'.-.t in opposition to the ratification
of the treaty, and which the envoy
sthe p1es1dent to send to that body.
Cl .e letter of transmittal contains more
1 an the mere request, but Agoncillo
l els that he is bound by: courtesy not
1.) make it 'public until an opportunity
is had by the state department officials
to make a reply. '
The memorial to the Senate is a long
document, both historical and argu-
mentative in character, and says this
government has -no Jurisdiction, natu-
through any of its
agencies, to adjudicate in any man-
ner upon the rights of the Philippine
country and its people. He refers to
“the historical fact that a large num—
ber of my countrymen have never been
subdued by Spanish power; that the
remainder, because of their adhesion
to the cause of liberty, have been in
almost constant insurrection against
the government of Spain; these con-
flicts existing continuously with great-
er or less fury for the last hundred
years.”
'The impression, he continues, has
been created in America that at the
time of the declaration of war be—
tween America and Spa-in the Philip-
pine revolution no longer existed. He
quotes from communications from
Consul General Williams at Manila
and Mr. Pratt, as a. result of which
Agoncillo says that “Without addition-
al authority it must be evident to your
honorable body that an extensive rev-
olution existed in the Philippine 'is-
lands at the time of the declaration
of war by America against Spain.”
The purpose of the Filipinos in con-
ducting this revolution was, it is as-
serted, to obtain the complete inde‘
pundence of their count 1y, and in this
eort they received the encouragement
of the United States and were never
informed that the obtaining and pres-
elvation of such independence would
be regardeda a hostile act by Ameri-
ca, and they never believed that their
struggle in such a cause would lead
to enonnous aggregations of American
armies and 11-..vies at their doors.

“George Francis Train came along
and '.'1t down beside me on the bench.

ing. 'You’vc dropped a lot of money,
sir.’ ‘You’re very much mistaken,
youn.rr man ’ Train replied, and he

The young people were utterly
dumbfounded, and, after they had
gathered tip the coins, seriously talk-

police. Fem-lug that they would real‘

advised them to keep the wealth, as

They left the square soon afiter with
