Aguinaldo's Spsacb. at tlw Tarlac
Celebration.
Affection for Mother Spain?Qooies
the Monroe Doctrine in Referring
to America and Her Course in the
Philippines.
Manila, July 12, 7:25 p. m?A
copy of the Independencia has
reached Manila containing the speech
which Aguinaldo made during the
recent celebration at Tarlac, of the
anniversary of the proclamation cf
Filipino independence. In substance
it i9 as follows:
''Filipina, beloved daughter of the
ardent Sun of the Tropics, commended
bv Drovidence to the care of noble
- y A
SpaiD, be Dot UDgrateful to her salute
who warmed you with the breath of
her own culture and civilization.
' It is true she ought to crush thy
aspiration for independence, as a loviDg
mother opposes separation forever
from the daughter of her bosom.
This but proves the excess of affection
aDd love Spain feels for thee,
Filipina! Delicate fl iwer of the east,
scarcely eight moDths weaned from
the breast of thy mother, thou hast
dared to brave a great and powerful
iDgnation such as is theUoited States,
after barely organizing and disciplinthy
little army. Yet we reply, we
will be slaves to none, nor allow ourselves
to be deceived by soft words.
Let us continue to defend our fatherland
until independence is assured,
for this is justice. We shall see at
least that the great American nation
will acknowledge the right which is
on our side. That doctrine of the
great MoDroe, that America is for
Americans, is not forgotten. Just so
we affirm that the Philippines are for
the Filipinos. Some States of the
American union have arisen in our
favor.
"Especially is the Democratic party
convinced that both victors and vanquished
will lose precious lives.
Thus many of the people and many
statesmen censure President McKinley
as inhuman for having ordered
his military representatives at
Manila to seek means to bring about j
hostilities. With the Filipinos these
facts prove that they wished to try
us to see if we are able to live up to |
the second color of our banner, red, ;
which signifies courage heroism and j
martyrdom. Therefore, we should |
not resent this struggle with the j
Americans. Ia spite of their expres- j
sed desire to dominate all the Pailip- j
pines, well convinced are they that i
we will fight with justice and tight j
on our side and that autonomy is all
a show of deceit, only serving to save
certain accumulated wealth. We
have never concealed our aspirations,
that we aspire but to independence, !
that we will struggle on to obtain it. I
perhaps from those who are now our I
enemies and tomorrow will be our i
allies as they were for the overthrow |
of the power of Spain. We might !
well accept this autonomy Ameiica !
offers, but what can we do with it if J
our ambiiion is independence and if !
we are to accept it only to later over- i
throw by force of arms the sovereignty :
of America? As I believe it is the;
i itention of the autonomists to make 1
use of treachery and decei\ we can- j
not accept such a proceduie. We do
not wish to be traitors afterward, j
We wish to show our character, our I
i
frankness and sincerity and nothing j
more. Let us avoid the example ct
those Datives, who having at one time
been colonLt*, accepted autonomy to j

our idea, which is the only and legitimate
and noble aspiration of a peo- *
pie which is desirous at all cost to *
s
preserve its national honor, spotless
and as pure as a crystal. Thus,
then, there will not be a single Fili- ^
pino autonomist. Those who are so
are in the eyes of the people but time ^
servers, fearful of losing their riches, ~
threatened by risks of war.
"Filipinos, let us ba constant! Let ^
us strengthen the bonds of our union!''
D
Aguinaldo concluded with calling ^
for cheers for independence, the
union of the Filipinos and for the !
liberating army. | ^

i Gen. Gomez Makes a Speech in Ha!
vana and the Local Press Praises
| the Demands?The Attitude Towards
America?An Audience of
Negroes.
I Habana, July 12.?At a meetiDg
! held last evening in the Payret
I theatre, after the street demonstraI
| tion and parade in his honor, Gen.
i Galberto Gomez was himself the
i principal speaker. In the course of
| a long address, dealiug with the
; reasons for beginning the war against I
\ Spain, he said: 4T am now, as I j
, always have been, a separatist; and I j
| still demand the separation that I
| asked before the war, not only sepa- |
| ration from Spain, but from any and
j ail other Dations. People only begin !
i a revolution when this is absolutely j
! necessary to life and progress. If a
! superior force deters them before j
! this object is attained, there is merely j
! the question of delay.
4 The revolution will inevitably re- j
turn. Nations, like stars, have their 1
; seasons of eclipse: but, following j
orbits, they emerge and accomplish i
their final destiny. The destiny of
Cuba is oDly independence. The
basic ideas of the revolution were no |
mystery and, therefore, a synopsis
now, which would really remind us ;
of past suffering and of incidents only I
to be recalled with horror, is unnecessary.
Still we would retun to those
direful days if it had to be. Honor j
i3 as much a necessity in national life j
as is food in the life of the individual, !
j
and it ought to be insured, if possible, ;
even though the attempt may result j
in catastrophe and death.
"Such disasters we can avoid by [
perfect unison, by raising our voices
to declare that this country is ours ;
and that we want it for ourselves, by j
forgetting our enmities, by ebliterat- j
ing personalities, by drawing a line j
through our terrible past and by de- [
voting ourselves to the future.
"We should give due thanks to the
Americans whose progress and power j
inspire our admiration, but this does j
not mean that we shall resign our j
selves to a tutelage to be exercised j
over us. Let us make the same '
statement to the United States that j
the American colonies'made to EDgi
land when they declared in 177G that
the Americans owned North America." j
The entire speech was in this j
spirit. The local press praises it to- j
day as "the most important occur- i
rence since January 1st."
Most of those present at the meet- |
iDg were negroes and many of the '
banners borne in the procession
showed the legend of '-Independence j
or death."

Jaka and the State.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Our neighbor, the Columbia State,
in its issue of the 7th iDst, with its j
usual very elegant English, reads
your correspondent "Jake" an elaborate
lesson.
"Jake" bows and gratefully accepts
the compliment, and appreciates it
the more on account of the source
from which it came, coming as it
does from a paper that never speaks
unless it fully understands and knows
what it is talking about.
We have no quarrel with our neighbor
over the river, nor with any one
else, nor will we, and notwithstanding
the State's great learning in versification
and prose poetry, we do not
care the snap of a finger about its
attempted disparaging criticism.
Our purpose is, as much as in empower
lies, to uncover and develop
all future possibilities for the future
development,- enlargement and en
richment of Biookland and ail the
towns of Lexington county, making
accrued .uentnts reciprocal witii ine
farmers, mechanics and laborers of
Lexington county, and for this we
shall stand square up to neighboring
counties, towns and cities demanding
of them all that may be
ustly and legitimately due us. This
se want and no more. Saluda river
divides Lexington county into two
sections, and the county scat i3 on
:he south side. The river and its
:oll ferries are a barrier to tho free
ntercourse of the citizens of the
county for mutual benefit and plcasjre,
and in a great measure blocks the
wheels of trade and hinders the accumulation
of the material wants of
ts citizens. This should not be so.
rhere should be free ferries across
the river at convenient places up at d
3own the river and over the old S'auda
bridge pillars now st; n ling in
the river, there should be a free
bridge built. The river at this point
is very narrow and requires but two
spans to unite the t?'o banks of the
river. The granite abutments ard
the strong pillars in the centre of the
river are standing as firm as the
Rock of Gilbralter, and an iron
bridge over these Dillars could be
sheaply built, and this, with the free
ferries, would firmly and forever unite
ihe two sections of Lexington county
is one, and a marked development of
ber resources would be the result.
The Columbia, Newberry and Laurens
Railroad passes the northern
ibutment about 100 feet, and the
aridge over these pillars could be
nade wide enough on which to run
i railroad track and a foot and
vagon way. This railroad track
vould pass through Brookland, givng
her a depot and making junction
it Cayce with the other roads. This
rnitiDg link from the Saluda bridge
o Cayce would be about two miles
ong and would require but little
grading, and could Le quickly and
:heaply built and by this route cars
ould come into Brookland from C'oumbia,
Newberry and Cajee. These
