of hostilities in 1839. The witness repeated
his previous statement that the first shot

meant when he said upon, hearing the fir
Ing at first, "The thing is on." There was
some sparring between tbe two, as on
previous oocassions, tho senator insisting
upon a direct answer and tbe witness upon
replying in bla own way. "I Intend," aald
the latter, "to answer In the best way I
can to cover the whole conditions. I wish
to answer in my own way, aa I am Informed
I have a right to do. I felt that they had
made an attack upon us and that we must
defend ourselves," he added.
"Did you mean almply that you should
defend yourselves or that you should make
en attack also T" ..
'I had no intention beyond what I have
stated." "
Mr. Patterson then sought to bring out
the fsct that the attack waa made before
the Filipinos were ready and General

were absent In a conference at , Malolos.
He said that hostilities were so active the
next day that there wa no opportunity
to attempt' to heal the breach.

Hughea concerning the effect of President
McKlnley's proclamation of January 19,
1899, for the extension of the military occu
pation of the United States to the entire
archipelago, asking the witness If there
was anything to do but to attack the Tll-
tplno force. General Hughes replied that
the policy was to use only peaceful means
so long a they were effectual, but that
when these were exhausted ' to resort to
war.
