FORMER MAYOR OF MANILA SILENT.
NOTHING DIVULGED.
Washington, Oct. 16. After placing a wreath on the grave of the late General Wood, former Mayor Romualder of Manila was presented to President Coolidge to-day by Secretary Davis of the war department.
Romualdez and the President dis- cussed conditions in the Philippine Islands, but details of their conver sation were not divulged.
"I wouldn't like to speak about Philippine politics," the former ma- yor said after the meeting with the President, I would limit myself to remarking that with a better knowledge of the facts legislation should be adopted to appropriately meet special cirumstances in my country. I invites both Republicans and Democrats to, unite with respect to the welfare of the Philippines, Inasmuch as the responsibility con tracted is not by any one party, but the whole American nation."
