"As to the question of self govern 1 mcnt 1 am l^d to 'believe that none of the native people are capable of that in the highest sense of the word. The only way that the natives could gov ern is under American supervision. "I believe that the flag In the Phil lppnes should never be lowered. We have got to conquer or annihilate them. The question is which will out war do. "1 want to say now at no time \va? Aguinaldo or any of the Filipino* promised independence. Admiral Dewey made tlu-m no promises. We brought Aguinaldo to Manila the eani?* as any other nnn was brought nvr-r there to help. At no time was anything said about giving them their Independence. You will notice that In hi- manifestos Aguinaldo is careful nnt to say directly that there were promises made.
