Show AGUINALDO'S REPUBLIC. Will Send a Koelve to Tarls to Argue His Claims. London, Aug. 29.-The Manila correspondent corre-spondent of the Times says: The situation sit-uation although undoubtedly unsatisfactory, unsatis-factory, remains unchanged, pending a final settlement. Aguinaldo proposes pro-poses to remove his headquarters immediately im-mediately to the town of Manolos province of Bulacan, situated on the railway line twenty miles north of Manila. There he will shortly assemble as-semble a congress chosen from the leading Filipinos who favor the insurgent insur-gent cause. He further intends to send a representative to Paris to argue his claims for the establishment of an insurgent republic. Manolos is an excellent strategic point, covering a rice and tobacco dis-tric, dis-tric, besides the route to Biacnabato, where the Spaniards were formerly obliged to make a treaty by .which they purchased a cession of hostilities. The movement was probably necessary, neces-sary, partly because Aguinaldo was fast losing influence in the province of Cavite, where the insurgents evidently expected to be permitted to occupy Manila conjointly with the Americans. Considerable dissatisfaction is apparent ap-parent among the insurgent troops, and a frank expression of opinion is frequently heard that Aguinaldo is again selling the cause. |
