Pamphlets Announcing Ultimate Independence of Natives.
MANILA, Feb. 10.—The provinces under civil rule, as well as Manila, have been flooded with a quantity of pamphlets printed in Hong Kong by the Filipino junta. These pamphlets are copies of a memorial by the junta, which has been forwarded to President Roosevelt.
The memorial expresses sympathy at the death of Mr. McKinley and assures the American people that sooner or later the Filipinos are bound to have independence.
The junta says it has reliable information that most of the pacified provinces are only held in check by superior military forces. The pamphlets say that the educated Filipinos appreciate American governmental ideas, but when the bread of national life is asked for it does not suffice to offer a stone, even though that stone be diamond.
