A Formal Appeal for Recognition
of Filipino Indopondonco.
WON'T GIVE UP SPANIARDS,
A Doeumont From Ajutnnlilo Itaoelvod
by Ail tlia Foreign ttcinttil In Minlln
Clnlmed tint tin litnnd Worn Not
BpalnU to Cede.
Manila, Anx 0. Agulnaldo lias
appealed to tit j povven for recogni
tion of "Filipino liitlcpciulcnco" in n
document date I from Tiirlao. July 27,
nnd signed by Uucncamltio. It lias
boon rocoived by nil tlio foreign con
suls in Manila with tlio request that
thoy forward It to their respective
governments.
Tlio Filipinos uso tliolr old nrgu
mont that they had conquered the
sovereignty of these islands from
Spain beforo tho signing of tho troaty
Of Paris and, therefore, Spain was In
no position to cede thorn to tho Unitod
States. They nrguo Mint tho possos
slon of 1,000 Spanish prisoners, cap
tured, with their arms, llf?htliiff
against tlio Filipino "is cloquont
proof of tho nullity of Spanish sover
eignty, a whon tlioy surrondorod
Spain's hold, was Irrevocably lost."
Tho document then says: "Reply
ing to tho Spanish cointnltteo's request
tw release the prisoners because Spain
no longer had political interests in
tho Islands, we asked for n troaty of
pence and friendship botweon Spain
nnd tho Filipinos, whereby tho pris
oners would bo released. Hut tho
commissioners refused, becauso It
would mean our independence. This
is equivalent to saying that tlio pris
oners must stay in our hands Inded
nltoly, becauso their possession Is our
most efficacious mothod to ndjust ac
count with Spain and obtain from
her recognition of our Independence.'
Tho Filipinos clnlm that they con
quered all tho country oxeopt Manila
nnd that they eo-oporatod in securing
Mio city's capitulation by surrounding
it at the cost of thousands of lives.
They also claim that thoy conquered
tho country unassisted, except for
sixty guns that Admiral Dowoy gave
Agulnaldo, and that Admiral Dowoy
and tlio llrltlsh and llolglun consuls
recognized tho Filipino sovereignty by
asking for passes to visit the country.
Thoy repeat tha claim that thoy
havo letters from Amorlcan consuls
nnd generals recognizing tholr sovor
orelgnty and promising that tho
Americans would rocognlzo tholr in
dependence, "which was at tho dispo
sition of tho powers."
Tho Filipinos attempt to mako cap
ital out of tho statement that Admiral
Dewey had such contldenco that
Ajruluohlo would observe and futlll
the rules of war Mint ho gave him a
hundred bpanlsh prisoners which tho
Amcrleau'navy had capturod.
Ftnal.y tho Filipinos appeal to tho
powers to Inlluonc Washington to
bring to a termination "tho unjust
war which is devastating the coun
try." Washington, Aug. 0. Tho state de
partment is entirely without Informa
tion as to any address by Agulnaldo
to foreign powers for tho recognition
of tho Filipinos, either as belligerents
or as constituting an Independent
government. Tlio appeal puts this
dcslro into rather formal shapo, and it
may bring to an Issue tho uttltudo of
outside governments. Thoro is nonp
prohcnslon, however, that any for
eign government will hoed tho ad
dress. Up to tlio presont Mino Micro has
boon no Intimation to the state de
partment that any forolgn power had
even tho remotest Idea of giving rec
ognition to Agulnaldo and his assoi'l
...., n t im oaiitrtirv. thoro has been
most friendly feeling maintained bo
tweon this government and foreign
powers throughout the I'hlllpplno
conflict.
Tho Stato department doai not
nharo the approhenslon which is said
to havo arisen among army oflleers
that China has glvon Indirect recog
nition to tho Filipinos. This appro
honslonprew out of a roport from
Goncral Otis that horses could
not bo secured for cavalry
uso from China becauso thoy woro
"contraband of war." At tho
Btato department it is said that tho
matter has not assumed a form Involv
ing tho recognition of a stato of war,
hut that Minister Congor roports Chi
u onnrftit Is duo ontlrolv to certain
domestic regulations prohibiting the
exportation of horses or ponies.

DEWEY AFTER MANILA IN I873,
At llin Vlrgliilu. A (T,i I r tho Admiral
Wiuitod to Take tlm City.
Waoiiinoton, Aug. 0. Chairman
Mosts, of the committee nf 100 having
In charge the reception to Admiral
Dowoy on his arrlvnl In Washington,
which Includes the presentation of tho
sword voted him by congress, has re
ceived from tlio admiral n lottcr ap
proving tho plans under consideration
for tho nflfalr. The letter says: "I
nolo with plcnsuro Mint it is proposed
to inako tho exercises as simple as
possible. It Is Impossible at this tlmo
to fix tho data of my nrrlval in Wash
ington, but I will not faH to give you
tho Information on that point ns soon
as possible."
An interesting historical fact, dat
ing bach to lb'7.1, has come to light, in
which Admiral Dewey was the conlrat
figure. l)cwoy, then a commander,
was in command of tho United States
steamship Nnrrngnnsett on tlio
Asiatic station, having taken cliargo
of tho vessel on March 1, 187.1 The
vossol was on surveying duty when
tho Vlrglnius trouble was precipitated
and a war witii Spain seemed immi
nent. Commander Dewey wrote to tho
navy department requesting that In
caso war was declared ho should bo
assigned to tho duty of capturing Ma
nila. Tho peaceful settlement of tho
controversy with Spain avoided the
necessity of n hostile demonstration,
but the Interesting fact is that tlio
doughty oillcar had his oyo on Manila
over a quartor of n century ago. A
search will bo made for tho letter In
tho files of tho navy department, and,
If found, It is expected nn effort will
bo made by the citizens' committee to
havo it reproduced ns n souvenir of
the reception.

Wabiii.voto.v, Aug. 0. Some uneasi
ness prevails in military circles re I a1
ttvo to tho attitude of China with
respect to tlio Filipinos as tho result
of her refusal to permit tho shipment
of hones purchnsed lu China by tho
agents of Goncral Otis to Manila on
tho ground that thoy aro "contraband
of war.1'
While tho l'ekln government has
not formally recognized fho bolllgor
ency of Agulnaldo and his followers
her announcement that horses aro
"contraband of war" is regarded
as dangerously near s-.ich recogni
tion. Olllelals interpret her no
tion to mean that China holds that
thin government, Instead of suppress
ing an insurrection, is involved
in a war and thut goods purchased
by it in her empire for tho use of the
American army arc consequently con
traband. This government has taken
no diplomatic notlco of China's dec
laration that horses aro contraband.
Tho United States would vigorously
protest agnlnst recognition of tho bel
ligerency of tho Filipinos and for
somo time tlio authorities havo been
satisfied that there was no danger of
any foreign state grantlngsuch recog
nition. Keports rocoived horo havo Bbown
tho desperate efforts made by tho Fil
ipinos to socuro recognition of Agul
nnldo's government, thoy having gone
so far as to rofuso to permit tho re
lease of Spanish prisoners unless Spain
first recognized tholr belllgoroncy.
Uccauso of tho great chango which
would occur In tho status of tho Fil
ipinos by tho recognition of their
bolllgeronoy by any nation, and the
consequent ombarnssment to tho
United States, this government is
doing everything possl bio to prevent
it. It is believed theso cfTorts will be
successful, at least until tho result of
the next campaign Is apparent.
Should tho dry season end with the
insurgonts still lu tho Hold, tho dlfll
culty of preventing foreign recogni
tion will bo matorlully increased.
In somo quarters thoro is a disposi
tion to believe Mint China lias been
stirred up to her extraordinary action
by European interests, but sho is re
garded as altogether too friendly to
tho United States to formally recog
nize tho Filipinos.

that ho will not avail hlmsolf of tho

"Thoro aro gravo contradictions in tho

under Mio military code. An arrest
will then occur Instantly, while the
accused witness is still in tho witness
box."
Cnslmlr - Pcrlcr was president of

buttons boing cut off his uniform.

Nkw Yoiik, Aug. .A dispatch to
Mio New York World from Rcnncs
says: Maltro Laborl talks with ro
markablo freedom on tho nttltudo of
tlio judges. Tho correspondent asked
htm:
"Do you feel quite suro of victory
this time?"
"Yes, entirely," lie said. "Tho
judges nro already assured of Drey
fus innocence. Only old Colonel
Jouaust seems scorns shall I say
afraid lest ho appoar prejudiced. So
ho nppears unnecessarily harsh
toward Dreyfus."
"Do you think tho general opinion
is that Dreyfus Is too vehement?"
"Put yourself in his place," an
sworod Labori, with feeling. "Nat
urally ho is au.ioti3 to impress Ills
judges. This wretched joko has
already lasted too long."
"How long will tho trlat last, do
you think?'
Laborl shrugged his shouldors.
"Anywhere from eight days to
thrco months. I havo no idea what
tactics tho government's commissioner
intends to adopt. I am not in his con
fidence. All theso fine soldiers keep
as much from mo as thoy possibly
can."
When Laborl cama out of tho prison
last night ho told a group of newspa
per men:
"Wait till I got some of thoso strut
ting generals on the witness stand
Mcrclcr, lloisdcffro and others. Thon
wo shall all haVo fun. I am anxious
to get nt them."
Tho gonor.il impression Is that both
Carrlero and Jouaust made a bad do
but Even tho nntl-Dreyfusltes nro
dissatisfied. They aro heard on all
sides saying that It is a trick of tho
government putting such a ridiculous
person as Carriero in charge of the
prosecution.
Rknnks, Aug. .Tho pollco ar
raugements in tho vicinity of tho
Lyceo this morning woro exactly tho
samo as those of yesterday, but not
mora than a hundred persons had
gathered at tho early morning hour
half past 0 o'clock fixed for tho open
ing of the day's proceedings in tlio
trial of Captain Dreyfus. Tho pris
oner was conducted to" tho Lyceo at a
quarter past fl and exactly tho snmo
precautions wero observed as on yes
terday. No demonstration was made upon
arrival on foot of Maitre Labori or
Maltre Domange, counsel for Dreyfus,
or the mombers of tlio court-martial
or of General Chanoino, ox-mlnlstor
of war, who attonds tha court to give
necessary explanations as to tho secrot
dossier. General Chanoino appeared
lu uniform.
Tho secret sitting to-day lasted un
til 11:45 o'clock, when the court ad
journed until to-morrow morning.
QAt tho conclusion of tho sitting tho
crowd, numbering about 2,000 per
sons, and composed puroly of sight
seers, was allowod to pass freely be
foro tho Lyceo until a few momonts
beforo Dreyfus emerged. Thon tho
chief of gendarmcriu mado a sign to
his assistant, who blow a whistle,
liefore tho shrill sound( had finished
the elattor o hoofs was heard and a
moment later a strong dotachmont of
mounted gondarmes, folloivod by
gendarmes on foot, galloped into tho
avenuo from a sldo Htroet, wheeled
around and divided into two squads
and cleared a spaca of 3 JO yards
In front of the Lycoe. Tho
horsemen rode upon tho sidowalks,
clearing ovorybody out. Even tho
correspondents wero driven away.
Thon u detnehmont of Infantry,
headed by a trumpeter, dashed up at
tho doublo line formed across tho ave
nuo from tho door of tho Lyceo to tho
postern gate of tho Manutentton. Tho
soldiers wero stationed shoulder to
shoulder, facing outward and toward
the spectators, who were orouohed, be
hind tho mounted gcndai'inos, a hun
dred yards off.
Soon afterwards somebody shouted
"Hero ho Is," and the spectators, many
of whom had como from neighboring
towns expressly tosoo Droyfus.craned
their necks and stood on tiptoe, hop
ing to catch a vlow of tlio famous
prlsonor as, precede! and followed by
gendarmes and with a captain of gon
darmes beside him, he pasted through
the lano of soldiers with a quick mil
itary stop, oyes front and with sol
dierly bearing, but with tho Blight,
jerky movement of the loft arm and
shouldor of tho continental ofllcer ac
customed always to rusting his hand
on the hilt of his sword. Dreyfus,
liowovor, bolng under arrest, Is ac- "J"
prived of his sword.
Tho crowd just porcolvcd tho pris
oner's head nnd shoulders ns ho passed
by the gaps betwoon tho heads of tho
infantrymen, whoso red kepis, dark
bluo tunics nnd bright rod, baggy
trousers, throw a band of color across
tho roadway. Loss than a minute
was occupied in crossing tho roadway
and Immediately after Dreyfus reached
tho wall of tho Manteutlon tho post
ern gate was thrown open and ho dis
appeared within.
Tho shrill whlstlo was again hoard,
tho gendarmes wheeled round and
galloped back to their barracks, tho
crowd quickly dispersed, and in a fow
minutes the vicinity of tho Lyceo was
almost deserted.
In tho meanwhile, Colonel Jouaust
and tho other members of tho court
martial, Major Carrlero, tho official

BRITAIN GETS CUBA'S TRADE.
Money Milking Opporlcnltlos Aro
Slipping Away 1'roin American.
Washington, Aug. 0. Charles F.
W. Neoly, director of flnanco for tho
postolllcos of Cuba, had a long confer
ence with Acting Postmaster Gonoral
Heath yesterday. Ho said to a re
porter that the Cubans wero much
pleased with the now poUolllco sys
tem which was Improving daily. Ho
thought it was a mistake to havo mil
itary men govern tho Cuban people.
The Itritlsh, ho said, arc stealing a
march on Amarlcans in tho islands,
aud unless the capitalists- of this
country moved quickly thoy found
that somo splendid money-making op
portunltlos were gono forever. Tho
English had bought up tho railroads
and wero going to extend existing
linos through tho provinces which
aro still without railroads Unless a
stronger effort was mado to control
tho Cuban trado tho Urltlsh will
get it
Another thing that will Jiaudlcap
Americans, in Mr. Neely's opinion, Is
that in previous dealings with Ameri
cans M13 Cubans wero not fairly dealt .
with. Cuban merchants did uot ro
ceivo anything rosombllug tho samples'"
which wore shown thorn when thoy
gavo orders, and hereafter houses In
New York, Philadelphia and Boston
will find it hard to deal with them.
Furthermore, American firms refuso
toglvo tho Cuban merchants long
credit, nlthough foreigners aro will
ing to do so.
As to annexation, ho ndded, tho
Spaniards aro in favor of it, although
tho richer Cubans do not seem to bo.
Ho cordially commended General Lud
low's suppression of tho newspaper El
Reconcentrado, saying that it was a
dlsgraco to journalism. Illanco did
uot allow tho paper to bo published,
and it was suppressed until tho Amer
icans assumed control of tho island.
Chicago, Aug. 0. "Moro than 810,
OOJ.OOO of Euglish capital has been in
vested In Cuban tobacco plantations.
English firms control tho Cuban to
bacco market, and tho American im
porters of Havana tobacco will havo
hereafter to look to the English for
theso goods."
James Grontham of London, a rep
resentative of English capitalists, who
was in Chicago yesterday on his way
to tho Pacific coast, Is authority for
this statement. He has just returned
from Cuba. Comparatively recent In
vestments of English capital in Cuba
and Porto Rico aro c3tlinatod at S10,
000,000. He said: "It is only a matter of a
fow years till English capital will ab
solutely control tho Cuban and Porto
Rico commercial centors. Tho Cubans
prefer to trade with tho English to
any other nationality becauso thoy
speak Spanish, nnd tho English houses
grant from sixty to ninety days' tlmo
on transactions, aud also show sam
ples of goods. Amorlcan houses, as a
rule, domand at least part payment in
ad vanes."
