Southern Islands Want Our Flag-4,000 Men Near Iloilo Ready to Support Us.
Special Cable Despatch to The Sun.
Manila, Sept. 3.-Yesterday a deputation of the richest and best natives of the southern Philippines visited Consul Williams and begged that every possible effort be made to secure the complete annexation of the islands to the United States.
They declared that all classes would welcome the American flag. They were resolved never to submit to Tagal rule (meaning Aguinaldo's insurgents, who are Tagals of the island of Luzon).
Four thousand armed men are near Iloilo, ready to support the Americans. Their only desire is annexation. They believe that independence would be a mistake and impracticable.
The deputation asked leave to interview Gen. Otis and obtain leave to appeal to President McKinley. They intend to confer with the supporters of Aguinaldo in order to arrange a unanimous movement to insist upon annexation. They will ask permission for the insurgents to be enrolled in the American Army.
Aguinaldo remains at Bacor. He recently sent a letter to Gen. Otis which the latter thought was impertinent. He therefore administered a rebuff to the insurgent leader.
Gen. Rios, the new Spanish Governor of the Philippines, has arrested and shot a number of insurgent suspects, including some prominent natives.
The railroad from Manila to Caloocan was reopened yesterday.
The transports Valencia and Ohio started yesterday for San Francisco.
