AGUINALDO OFFERED HIM FINANCIAL AID
Mr. Bryan Says, But He Would not Consider Proposition.
Lincoln, Neb., July 19.—W. J. Bryan issued a statement to the press last evening, in which he gives his version of the story that Aguinaldo had promised him financial aid in one of his campaigns.
Bryan says in this statement that two Filipinos wanted to confer with him in New York. He refused to meet them. He sent a friend, to whom the Filipinos said that Aguinaldo was willing to surrender, in case of Bryan’s election to the presidency, and was also willing to contribute to Bryan’s campaign fund.
Bryan says he refused to consider either proposition.
