Neither the un- just imprisonments, the tortures, assassi- nations and other acts of tyranny com- mitted by the Spaniards on the peaceful, inoffensive Filipinos cause them to de- viate from the humane path which they have chosen. The Spanish consider them- selves absolved from all obligations to us because foreign powers refused to ac- knowledge our belligerency. The Spaniards did not consider that education, national honor and humanity are above laws writ- ten and unwritten. No; the Filipinos will never retaliate in like upon the Spantards, and they only seek independence with honor, liberty, just laws and a desire that their name shall be coupled with humani- tarian sentiments. “In virtue of the above statement, the undersigned, expressing the desire of their committee, hereby solemnly proclaim be- fore the whole world the independence of the Philippines. They acknowledge Emilo Aguinaido as president of the revolution- ary government, and they hereby request the said president to ask for recognition of beiligerency and the formal acknowl- edgment of independence, not only because these acts involve an obligation of justice, but because no one should be allowed to contravene natural laws or suppress the legitimate aspirations of a people striving for liberty. “Done at Cavite, August 1, 1898. “Leandro Ybana, secretary of interior; Emilo Aguinaldo, revolutionary president, and 180 leaders in the provinces enumer- ated.” Would Be Reccived as Individuals. It is probable that if Angoncilla and Lo- pez, the two representatives of Aguinaldo, who arrived yesterday at San Francisco, call at the White House on their way through Washington to Paris, they will be admitted to see President McKinley, but only as individuals and not as representa- tives of any government. The President would doubtless be glad to hear any views these Filipinos might care to set out, being fresh from the islands and thoroughly ac- quamted with the wishes of the insurgents. But it will be plainly impolitic and incom sistent for the President at this date, and pending the conclusion of the peace con- terence at Paris, to allow it to be under- stood, by according a formal reception to the delegates, that he had thereby recog- mized the Philippine government as an in- dependent nationality. In other words his attitude toward the Filipinos ts expected to be similar to that assumed by him toward the Cubans. As the Filipimos have repeatedly by pub- lic declaration sought to convey the im- press! that the United States representa- tives in Manila have at some time during the progress of the war recognized Aguin- aldo as an independent ally and entered in- to formal co-operation with him, it y be stated that the government at Washington is so far unaware that any such thing has happened. Admiral Dewey, who was in command of all the United States forces Guring the most critical period, expressly cabled the Secretary of the Navy that he had entered into no formal agreement with Aguinaldo. It is known that {f Gen. Otis followed his instructions, and of that there can be no doubt, he also has refrained from entering any entangling agreements. As for Consul General Wildman, any un- dertaking he may have assumed with Agu- inaldo must have been upon his own per- sonal and individual responsibility, and would be without formal standing, inas- much as he had not express authorization from the State Department, absolutely req- uisite to negotiations in such cases. There- fore, as the case now stands, the peace commissioners are free to deal with the Philippine problem at Paris absolutely without restriction beyond that which might be supposed to rise from a sense of moral obligation to avoid committing the Filipinos again into the hands of their late 1ulers and oppressors, the Spaniards, with- out adequate guarantee for their protec- tion. ———_—__+-0+_____— TRIBUTE TO LAFAYETTE, President McKinley Approves the Proposed Contributions by Schools. Mr. A. H. Revell, vice president of the Lafayette memorial commission, recently wrote to President McKinley in regard to the plan of erecting a monument to La- fayette in Paris. The President replied as follows: “Your letter written in behalf of the La- fayette memorial commission has greatly interested me, and I have read with much satisfaction the plans already outlined for the proposed monument to the memory of a great soldier and patriot. “The undertaking is one tn which I am suro it will be considered a privilege to participate, and the {dea that the stu- dents in the schools, colleges and univer- sities shall take a prominent part in this tribute will not only be of vast educational value as to one of the most important epochs in history, but will keep prominent- ly before them the inspiration of a high ideal, of devotion to great principles and of the public recognition paid to lofty pur- poses. “General Lafayette was but a young man when he espoused the cause of liberty and independence, overcoming well nigh insur- mountable obstacles to do so. It is alto- gether fitting. therefore, that the youth of America should have a part in this tes- timonial to his goodness and greatness, “I am glad to note that your committee has fixed a date when our people, in every part of the country, may testify their in- terest in this proposed monument, and their determination that the movement al- ready begun shall achieve the greatest success.”” Set LHS FREES anotier ret of th MPO oe oF soegorgensoey we On Karth Sale Prices | Shoes on sale at special prices. ; No doubt you have peeped into the new At all 3 Stores../a bea ing filled with shoes alone.

Special Corresponderte of ‘The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C.; September 21, 1898. The congressional nominations in North Carolina are now almost all made and the situation is clearer. The following gives the nominations in the various districts: Fitst—John H. Small, democratic; Harry Skinner, renominated by populists, indorsed by republicans. Second—George H. White, colored, renom- inated by republicans; James B. Lloyd, nominated by populists. The democrats have made no nomination, their convention adjourning without action, but with the un- derstanding that all democrats were to vote for Lloyd if he made a declaration that he favored “white supremacy.” Third—John E. Fowler, renominated by populists; Charles R. Thomas, democratic. Republican convention to be held Septem- ber 29 will nominate either A. H. Slocumb or S. H. Buchanan, with the chances in favor of Slocumb. Fourth—John J. Jenkins, populist, and to be indorsed by republicans in convention September 30. Democrats have as yet made no nomination. Their convention meets September 29, and will nominate Ed. Chambers Smith,*J. R. Young or Frank S. Spruile, with the odds in Smith’s favor. Fifth—Spencer B. Adams, republican, and to be indorsed by the popullsts, as agreed on. Democrats have renominated William W. Kitchen. Sixth—John D. Bellamy, jr., democratic; Oliver H. Dockery, republican, and in- dorsed by populists, Seventh—Morrison H. H. Caldwell, popu- Ust, and indorsed by republicans; Theodore F, Klutty, democratic. Eighth—Romulus Z. Linney, renominated by republicans and to be indorsed by popu- lists; ex-Congressman John M. Brower, in- dependent republican candidate, and to be indorsed September 26 by the convention of bolting republicans. J. O. Wilcox was the first nominee of the bolters, but died. Democratic candidate to be nominated Sep- tember 27 and will be either ex-Congress- man W. H. Bower or H. L. Green, with the odds greatly in Bower's favor. Ninth—Richmond Pearson, renominated by republicans. No nomination by popul:sts likely. Democrats have nominated ex- Congressman William T. Crawford. Senator Butler Talks. Senator Butler was here today and was specially interviewed for The Star. It is his first interview since his return from the far northwest. He was asked his views on the general political situation in the state and replied: ‘You can say to The Star that there is no question of the leg- islature being anti-democratic. Nobody can now say what will be the approxi- trate majority, but I am positive my state- ment is correct. The democratic ‘color line’ movement ig disgusting more people than it attracts, ‘It is now on the wane. It had more effect a week ago than It has now, After the democratic speakers try to frighten the people by the color line cry there fs invariably a reaction. It_occurs after every speaking. The low price of cotton, 5 cents a pound, shows that free Silver is an issue. Any man who says it is not an Issue is not in touch with the people. The fusion state judicial ticket will be elected by anywhere from 20,000 majority upward. I think Populist State Chairman Thompson has the right side of the discussion with the democrats and also that it is in his favor.’ Populist Chairman Thompson was with Senator Butler and when asked to give his views as_to the congressional situation said: “I feel sure Skinner will be elected in the first district. As to the second Lloyd will remain in tite field, and will make an active canyass, He will not go-to the democrats with any statement. A demo- crat told me that If Lloyd did not come out for white supremacy he would as soon vote for White as for him. In the third district I cannot give you an idea of the result. I merely know that Fowler will stay in the ra As to the fourth I think Jenkins will lected. I have no informa- tion as to the fifth, believe Dockery will be elected in the th, do not know as to the seventh, believe populists will, as here- tofore, vot> for Linney in the eighth, and am not posted as to the ninth.” Some Speculations. It will require the solid democratic and populist vote in the second to defeat White. Demecratic prospects are fair in th third. The odds are in favor of Kitchen in the fifth and of Kluttz in the seventh. R. M. Norment, who was an independent republi- can candidate in the sixth, withdrew yes- terday, precisely as predicted. He becomes a candidate for the legislature. It is diffi- cult to say what is the strength of the anti-Linney movement in th> eighth. Those who are bolters say Linney has no show of success. The republican state chairman says he minimizes the trouble there, and declares Linney will be re-elect2d. He has devoted considerable time recently to work among the anti-Linney element, and asserts that he has been successful. Thre was an effort by the republicans to have the populists pledge themselves to stand by all the republican nominees, but this could not be arranged to cover White in the second. The democrats are working very hard. Thy find a great demand for literature greater than for speakers. They are send. ing out more than ever before by any party here. It rings all the changes on the “color line,” the keynot> of the whole campaign. The republicans and populists are largely devoting themselves to efforts to nullify the color-line argument by charging that it is the purpose of the democrats to bring about an amendment of the Constitution so as to disfranchise the negroes. The democrats, as a counter-blast, announce that there is no purpose to abridge the vote. They also say that Senator Butler and other populist leaders last May made propositions to democrats that they would unite with the latter to disfranchise the negroes; that these propositions were ver- bal, not in writing. It is a hot campaign; exceedingly hot. It grows hotter daily. Ed. Chambers Smith, an ex-state chairman of the democrats, said: “I tell you the news we get of our progress in the state is so good that many of us can’t realize it. We are gaining everywhere.” Republican State Chairman Hatton says he will from this time until the end of the campaign, which will be the very day of the election, issue, three circulars each week. It is noticeable that nearly all these from the first have borne upon the color-line question. A republican from Iredell county said today: “What we are going to do is to show that the democrats when {n power appointed negrces to office aleo. Our western people are very shy on the negro question, that is a plain fact. I am told the white women in the eastern ccunties are wearing “white government” unlon badges and attending the political speakings. I don’t like that. The worren have a.big influence.” Demo- cratic State Chairman Simmens says he finds upon a personal view that his party is making great progress in the west. The republicans assert that the democrats are trying specially ,to get a majority in the lower house of the, legislature. ee ~ Built ‘by Americans. United States Consul Avery at Belize, British Honduras, reports to the State De- partment the completion and opening of the new post office in Belize, a handsome two-story building which has been erected at an expense of $8,000 by an American con- tractor ant largely by American labor. The brick, lumber, roofing and all material are from the United States, and the boxes, desks and fixtures furnished by an Indiana firm are a good advertisement of American office furniture, which is gradually displac- ing the massive mahogany desks. chairs and tables so much in use in Belize. An- other fine brick edifice, St. Mary’s school, which is nearing completion, will probably be equipped with American school furni- trre. This will be an innovation, for ali schools in Belize are fitted with the old- fashioned desks and “forms,” as used in the English schcols. i Just leave a small deposit as a retainer for anything in Hoeku's Clearing Sals.—Ad.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., September 23.— An effort is being made to have Brigadier General Miller, who has been ordered to command the next expedition to the Philip- pines, made a major general of volunteers. ‘The officers of the Kansas, Tennessee and Iowa regiments will today send telegrams to the congressmen in their respective states, urging them to ask President Mc- Kinley to promote General Miller. The going of General Miller leaves the Presidio without a commandant, and it is very likely that a general officer will be sent out here from the east to take that place. The appointment of another general officer will be requested of the War De- partment to go with General Miller, and there is a possibility that the colonel of one of the four regiments comprising the expe- dition may get the coveted star. General Miller has expressed the desire that Colonel Funston of the 20th Kansas be promoted in case the new general is commissioned from the troops here. California Society of the Sons of the American Revolution has adopted resolu- tions deploring the death rate in the mili- tary camps in this city, and calling Upon President McKinley to urge an investiga- tion. A demand is made for the immediate erection of barracks and Wospitals on the grounds of the Presidio military reserva- tion, so that the sick now here and those on the way from 2 Manila may receive the ion they need. ok goes well with the Red Cross in Manila. The first explicit official report came by the China to Mrs. Harrington, the state president, O. H. J.
