Moreover on the day when fifty-four soldiers of the command deserted, he himself left for San Fernando, Pampanga." On November 30, 1898, General Macabulos sent Aguinaldo a telegram from which it evidently appears that there was an armed uprising in Tarlac which he was endeavouring to quell and that he hoped for early success.
I await orders from Your Excellency. Which I hasten to communicate to Your Excellency for the proper action." Later on the same day Arevalo telegraphed Aguinaldo as follows: "Lieutenant-Colonel Duboce with three hundred men waiting for more troops from Cavite, and also orders, but not to attack." Captain Torres telegraphed Aguinaldo on July 15 as follows:
On the 24th day of April Aguinaldo met the United States Consul and others at Singapore and offered to begin a new insurrection in conjunction with the operations of the United States navy at Manila.
Aguinaldo, on this conciliatory definition of American purposes, objects to General Otis calling himself "Military Governor," and cries out, with "all the energy of his soul against such authority," and alludes to the policy of the President referring to the Philippine annexation, adding: "I solemnly protest, in the name of God, the root and fountain of all justice and of all right, and who has given to me power to direct my dear brothers in the difficult work of our regeneration, against this intrusion of the government of the United States in the sovereignty of these islands.
It will be remembered that the minutes of the session of the Hong Kong junta at which Aguinaldo reported the result of his negotiations with Pratt and received his instructions relative to the trip to Manila, recorded the fact that there would be no better occasion for the expeditionary forces "to arm themselves at the expense of the Americans," and that provided with arms the Filipino people would be able to oppose themselves to the United States and combat their demands if they attempted to colonize the country.
The war resulted in the cession of Porto Rico and the Philippines to our country, and in Spain's withdrawal from Cuba.

He frankly stated his pleasure in meeting an American who would convey to the President of the United States the message he gave me about the American army, to which he was indebted for security and peace of mind. General Aguinaldo gave me his photograph, and the flag of the Filipinos with him in the effort to establish an independent government, republican in form.
This certain agents of Aguinaldo asked on the previous day to be permitted to retain for a short time, on the plea that the general officer in command would not obey instructions, and they proposed to remove his men gradually by organizations and thereafter to punish him for his disobedience.
General Funston was just then engaged in capturing the rebel chief, Aguinaldo, and for a few moments both man and boy observed the occurrence with rapt attention.
He was the leading adviser of Aguinaldo, and was the author of the latter's many able decrees and proclamations. Mabini's official position was President of the Council of Secretaries, and he also held the post of Secretary of the Exterior. One of Mabini's greatest works was his draft of a constitution for the Philippine Republic.
