In substance itis as fol- lows: “Filipina, beloved daughter of the ardent sun of the troples, commended by Provi- dence to the care of noble Spain, be pot un grateful to her salute who warmed you with the breath of her own culture and clviliza- tion, ‘It Is true she sought to crush thy aspira- %ion for independence, as a loving mother opposes separation forever, {rom the daugh- ter of ber bosom. This but proves the ex- cess of affection and love Spain fesis for thee, Filipina! delionte flower of the East, searcely eight months weaped from the breast of thy mother, thou hast dared to brave a great and powerful nation, such as the United States, after barely organizing and discipling thy little army, Yet we re- ply, we will be slaves to none, nor allow ourselves to be deceived by soft words, Lest us continue to defend our fatherland until independence Is assured, for this is justice, We shall see at Jast that the great American nation will acknowledge the right, which is on our side, “That doctrine of the great Monroe—that America fis for Americans—is not forgotlen, Just as wa affirm that the Philippines are for the Filipinos, Some states of the Amer- fean Union have arisen in our favor, Espee- fally ss the Demoeratie party convineed that both victors and vanquished will lose pre- cious lives, Thus, many of the people and many statesmen censure President McKin- ley as inhuman for having ordered his miil- tary representatives at Manila to seek means to bring about 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 ban- per—red—which signifies courage, bero- fem and martyrdom. Therefore, we should not resent this struggle with the Ameri. cans. In spite of thelr expressed desire to dominate all the Philipploes, well eon vineced are they that we fight with justice and right on our side, and that autosomy is all a show of deceit, only serving 10 save certain accumulated wealth, We have never concealed our aspirations -that we aspire but to Independence, that we will struggle on to obtain it, perhaps from those who are now our enemies and tomorrow will be our aliles, as they were for the over- throw of the power of Spain, “We might well sceept this America offers, but what ¢an we do with it if our swbition is lodependence, and if wo are to ascept It only to lster overthrow by force of arms the sovereignty of America; As I believe It is the Intention of the mu- tosomists to make use of treashery snd de- eeit, we cannot accept sueh a procedure, Wa do not wish to be traitors alterward, We wish to show our character of Irankness and siaeerity, and nothing more, Let us avoid the example of those natives who, having at one time been colonists, accepled autonomy to enable them to wake their work surer, once everything was prepared, History bas given us an example of this in recent events, Let us persist in our ides, which is only the legitimate and noble ne. pirations of a people which is desirous, at all ost, to preserve its national honor spot less and as pure as a crystal Thus, then, there will not be a single Filipino autono- mist. Those who are so are in the eyes of the people as but time.servers, fearful of losing their riches, threatened by risks of war, “Fiilplacs, let us be constant’ girengthen the bonds of our unios !” Aguloaldo concluded with calling for eheers for independence, the union of the Filipinos and for the liberating army.
