flred byDo Fatta was In defense of bis
falleu brother and not a wanton attack. De
scribing the affair in detail , jtho report
points out ttiat some time after the flrstHwo

and then a third visit to the jail , from
whence they removed and lynched the three
other Italians , all of whom , It Is contended ,
were in utter ignorance of the" assault on
Dr. Hodges.
Conceding some extenuating circum

mediately concerned ' in Dr. HodE.es' assault ,
Marquis Romad'o contends that the lynching
of the other throe was a thing of particular
atrocity.

MANILA , Aug. 8. 4 SO p. m. Agulnaldo
hAB appealed to the powers for recognition
of "Filipino Independence" In a document
dated from Tarlac. July 27 , and signed by
nuoncamlno. It has been received by all
the foreign consuls In Manila , with the re
quest that they forward It to their respec
tive governments.
Tht > Filipinos use their old argument
that they had conquered the sovereignty of
these- Islands from Spain brtoro the signing
of the treaty of Paris and therefore Spain
was In no position to cede them to the
United States. They argue that the pos-
sisston of 1,000 Spanish prisoners , captured
With their arms fighting against the Fil
ipinos , Is "eloquent proof of the nullity of
Spanish sovereignty , as when they surren
dered Spain's hold was Irrevocably lost , "
Ilciily to Siiunlnh IleiiueMt.
The document then says : "Replying to
the Spanish commission's request to release
the prisoners because Spain no longer has
political Interest In the Islands , we asked
for a treaty of peace and trcndshlp be
tween Spain and the Filipinos , whereby
the .prisoners would bo released. But the
commissioners refused , because It would
mean recognition of our Independence. This
IB equivalent to saying that the prisoners
must stay In our hands Indefinitely because
their possession Is our moat efficacious
method to adjust our account with Spain
and obtain from her recognition of our In
dependence. "
The Filipinos claim that they conquered
all the country except Manila and that they
co-operated In securing the latter's capitula
tion by surrounding It at the cost of thou-
anda of Ihcs. They also claim they con
quered the country unassisted , except for
sixty guns that Admiral Dewey gave Agul
naldo , and that Admiral Dewey and the
DMtlsh and Belgian consuls recognized the
Filipino sovereignty by asking for passes
to visit the country.
They repeat the claim that they have let
ters from American consuls and generals , '
recognizing their sovereignty and promising
that < he Americans vould recognize their
independence , "which was at the disposition
of tbe powers. "
The KJIIplnoa' attempt to make capital of
the statement that Admiral Dewey had euch
confidence that Agulnaldo would observe and
fulfill the rules pf war. that ho gave him a
hundred Spanish prisoners which the Ameri
can navy had captured.
Finally , the Filipinos appeal to the powers
to influence Washington to bring to a. ter
mination "the unjust war which Is devastat- '
lag the country. "
o Apnrehenilon In AVnnhluaton.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 8. The State depart
ment Is entirely without Information aa to
any addreea by Aguinaldo to foreign powers
for the recognition of the rillplnos , either as
belligerents or as constituting an Independ
ent government. The appeal Is looked
upon , however , as creating no particular ,
change , as It has been the dee I re of Aguln
aldo and his associates from the first to
seciire sudh recognition. The appeal puts
this desire Into rather formal shape and It
may bring to an Issue the attitude of out
side governments.
There Is no apprehension , howeveV , that'
any foreign government ? will-heed the ad--r
dresa. Tho. International
usage as to-recog-
nltlon was quite fully developed during the
Cuban Insurrection , at which time the ques
tion was exhaustively discussed In congress
and was the subject of lengthy consideration
in messages of the president. The general ,
view at that time was that the recognition
of belligerency was not In Itself a casus
belli. Up to the present time there has been
no Intimation to the State department that
eny foreign power entertained even the re
motest idea of giving recognition to Agul
naldo and his associates.
On the contrary , there has been most
friendly feeling maintained between this
government nnd foreign powers throughout ,
the Philippine conflict. The State depart
ment does not share the apprehension which
Is said to hive arisen among army officers
that China has given Indirect recognition
to the Filipinos. This apprehension grew
out of a report from General Otis that
horses could not be secured for cavalry use
from China because they were "contraband
of war. "
At the State department It Is said that
the matter has not assumed a form Involv
ing the recognition of a state of war , but
that Minister Conger reports China's course
Is due entirely to certain domestic regula
tions prohibiting tbe exportation of horses
or ponies.
OtlH Nerd * More Home * .
Some time ago General Otis made a requi
sition on the War department for 2.GOO
homes to mount the cavalry In Iho Philip
pines. He stated In the dispatch that horses
from the islands were not satisfactory and
that contracts for them In China had failed ,
the -words "contraband of war" being added.
The matter was then referred to the
State department for investigation and Min
ister Conger , on June 5 , wrote a letter to
Secretary Hay , enclosing the correspond
ence that had passed between the Chinese
foreign office and himself relative to the re
fusal of China to allow the ponies to pe ex
ported.
It appears from this correspondence that
B. S. Dillon had contracted at Tientsin for
eoventy-flve ponies and twenty-five mules/
but was refused an export pass. Minister
Conger , upon Investigation , found that the
refusal Is based upon a law of China prohib
iting the export of horses and ponies , Rus-
ala has been refused as well as Other coun
tries and the Chinese foreign office said
they could not make an exception In favor
of tbe United States.
No suggestion Is made that tbe ponies are
contraband of war and General Otis must
have been misinformed when he sent bis
dispatch to the War department.
The course 'Which ' the foreign consuls at
Manila will pursue In connection with
Agulnaldo's communication Is a matter of
eomo conjecture Among officials bore. At
the State department there Is no disposition
to limit tbe consuls in forwarding the ap
peal to their respective governments , As a
rule It Is quite unusual for consuls holding
exequaturs from a friendly government and
having official relation with it to carry on
communication with en Insurrectionary
leader. But it Is appreciated that In this
casft the consuls are tbe Innocent victims
of Agulnaldo's letter writing. As military
authority Is supreme In tbe Philippines , any
question arising as to the course of the con
suls 'would ' probably be referred to General
Otis , but there Is no Intimation hero that
be has betn advUed of the address or that
ho will have any objections to Us trans
mission by the consult. U Is rather ex
pected , however , that the consuls will take
occa Ion to advise with tbe military au-
thorltles as to the proprieties of the situa
tion before taking final action.

DEVOTION TOTHEIR COUNTRY

General Order by , Coiiiiiinml df Gen
eral Otl * AoUiioivlrditlnir ObllKU-
tloiiM to Philippine Volunteer * .
MANILA , Aug. 8. The following general
order has been Issued from the headquarters
of the Department of the Pacific and Eighth
Anny corps , by command of Major General
Otis , signed by Assistant 'Adjutant General
Thomas H. Barry ;
Emergencies have rendered It Impossible
to transport to the United States the volun
teer organizations of the army of the Phil
ippines as soonas meditated nnd desired ,
thereby preventing their members ' from
joining their homes nnd ro-eugaging in their
clvljpursuits 'for a considerable period of
time after they acquired the acknowledged
right to demand their release and return.
Notwithstanding this unexpected detention ,
these soldiers have uncomplainingly given
to their government uninterrupted military
service , attended with deprivations and dan
gers to life and health , which thoie of their
countrymen unacquainted 'with conditions
can neither realize nor approximately np-
prpclate.
'This spirit of devotion to country and Its
announced humanitarian policy , manifested
so abundantly In their individual Sacrifices ,
ha * animated them from the day they com
menced their long voyage of 7,000 miles of
eea to * engage Us European enemy , then
represented In tbcso lolandu , and assist the
Island subjects to obtain social and politi
cal regeneration. It did not fall them when
thoqo. subject * , freed by their efforts from
the control1'of Spain , and deceived by evil-
disposed persons to distrust the beneficent
Intentions of tbe United States In their be
half , placed themselves In hostile attitude
with surprising celerity , It displayed Us
greatest achievement during tbo weeks of
waiting and watching , when , confined within
the city limits of a single city by tbe battle
lines of a self-constituted enemy , these men
offered neither threat nor violence for In
sults received and the hostile demonstra
tions which menaced them. On ( be contrary ,
respoi dlng to their government's commands
to avoid v ar , they vainly endeavored to
pfacato that enemy by peaceful and friendly
assurances.
This obedience to Instructions wan con
strued as cowardice by the Insurgent army
and Influenced It to precipitate a formidable
attack , assured not only of Uctory , but of Us
ability ( o completely destroy its declared
adversary , The victory , In fact , vas won
and belonged to the American soldiers at the
moment that attack vias inaugurated , for
they were then absolved from tbe duty
of longer self-imposed restraint which
they had rigidly enforced during the preceding -
ceding weeks of anxious expectancy , where
by they exhibited fho crowning virtue of the
highest type of civilization. They had
achieved the victory over themselves and
the cader task of confronting an enemy who
had aseaired the majesty of their govern
ment alone remained , This they have accom
plished moot efficiently. Withstanding tbe
leat of tbe tropics , ita scorching sun and
drenching rains , overcoming every obstacle
which prolific nature and a wily , active and
courageous foe could devise , their onward
narch has been a eerie ? of astonlthlqg i > uc-
cc-esee. They have responded with alacrity
o c\ery depiand made upon them , however
desperate the consequences might appear ,
and have never failed to more than accora-
ilfsh expected results.
