London, November 16.—General | Wesley Merritt, who is still in this city, has read with a great deal of | jnterest the long letter of complaint against American officials in the Philippine islands addressed by the so-called Filipino junta of Hong| Kong to President McKinley and the people. In discussing the Fili- pinoe, the American general refers | to them as ‘children,’ avd eays it} would be impossible to establich | American government in the islands. | leadds that they must have some form of colonial government, similar | fo the British colonial goyernments. | Regarding the complaints of the] ps Filipinos, the general said: “It was | impossible to recognize the insur | } gents and I made it a point not to do so, as 1 knew it would lead to qomplications. Admiral Dewey, after | py arrival, pursued the same cuuree. | What was done before is not for me tocomment on. I, purposely, did! not recognize Aguinaldo or his troops, nor did I use them in any my.

This was because the United States is in the habit of dealing fairly with ell| druggling people, and not becanse | Ihad been authorized to say any- thing of the kind “We purposely did not give the insurgents notice of our attack on AManila because we did not need their co-operation and did not pur- pose to have it. We were moved by fear that they might loot and plun der and, possibly, murder. Aguin aldo’s subordinate leaders, in con- wrsing with American officers, frequent.y said they intended to cut the throats of all the Spaniards in Manila. “Aguinaldo himself wrote a com. plaining letter,saying the insurgents had been denied ‘their share of the booty.’ whatever he may have meant by that. I took no notice of this letter, nor do I think the subject now raised is a matter for discussion between Acuinaldo and any repre tentative of the American govern- ment.” Give The Children a Dknri ealled Grain-O.
