AGUINALDO's AGENT.
II Very Indignant at Statements
Made by General Merritt.

LONDON, Nov. 21.-Agoncillo, the
agent of Aguinaldo, with his advisers.
returned here from Paris this morning
He announced himself as being very in
dignant at the statements made by
Major General Wesley Merritt in reply
to the arraignment of American Off
GERS made by the insurgent junta Of
Hongkong in an open letter to Presi-
dent Mckinley.
The general situation also displeased
Agonciflo, and after recalling to an in
terviewer "how the Filipinos have 10y
ally and effectively aided the Ameri-
cans he alluded to General Merritt's
reference to the Fflipinos as "children"
as simply the echo Of Spanish say
Ing, and he may like the Spaniards,
find his error when it is too late"
He said further: 'I am afraid the
Filipinos will never again submit to
the yoke of colonial government Rath-
er than live again as slaves. they will
fight to the bitter end in defense Of
their rights and freedom. My instruc-
tions are to claim the recognition of
their independence"
What do the Filipinos think of the
American proposal to purchase the ISL
ands." Agoncillo was asked.
The opinion of the Filipino Govern
ment cannot be favorable to It," he an
swered, "as they cannot allow them
selves to be bought and sold like mer-
chandise. But if the object of the
moderate indemnity is that their recog-
milton and peace be established 1 do
not see why, perhaps, the matter could
be submitted to their consideration
Aguinaldo's agent was then zsked
what form Of government the Filipinos
would prefer if they could not get
complete independence, but declined to
answer, on the ground that it would he
premature to do SO, but expressed
confidence In the honor of the Amer
lean nation and President Mckinley,

standing"

LILLIAN BRANDEs' DEATH.
Developments in the Case Confirm
the Suspicion of Murder.

OAKLAND, Nov. 21.-To-da de-
velopments in the case of the 15-year-
old girl Lillian Brandes, who was found
hanging to a bedpost in her home at
East Berkeley confirm the suspicion
that she was murdered
Her father was arrested yesterday en-
suspicion, and to-day her stepmotner
was also taken to the police station.
Both are detained, pending the result
of the Ccroner's inquest.
The evidence of neighbors is to the
effect that the girl was treated with
the greatest cruelty, and the testimony
of six physicians at the autopsy proved
that she did not die of strangulation,
but from the effect of blows.

From the mass of obvious misinforma-
ton, fiction and faIsehood that purports
to come from Havana, but most of
which is manufactured at Key West, or
nearer home, very little can be extract
ed upon which dependence can be
placed. The assertion that the court of
inquiry will hardly make its report as
to the cause Of the destruction Of the
Maine till late in March, may be good
guess. At all events it is being accepted
as an indication that the officers are
still in doubt as to the cause, and that
evidence is inconclusive. This may be a
hasty conclusion, but it is natural
enough. What this may portend as to the
final solution of the main problem is a
matter of opinion, and it is not worth
consideration here. There is disagree
ment, even now, as to the probability of
an internal or an external explosion, but
there is no doubt that the majority of
readers at home, favor the theory that
it was external Even. so conservative a
writer as A. Maurice Low, who is in
Havana for the Boston Globe, declares
that EVERY process of reasoning leads to
the belief that the Maine was blown up
by a torpedo or a mine" That, however,
is as far as anybody has been able to go,
even in the face of the exposed in-bent
plates and forward keel and the rent
| that almost cuts the boat in two.
On the other hand, there is the backing
of the best information that our navy
could get, to support the assertion Of the
Spanish legation and of Gen. Weyler, that
| Havana harbor was not sown with
| explosives, and that in fact these We're
not needed for defense, owing to the
very narrow entrance, which could be
easily blocked in case of need either with
sunken ship or with torpedoes. Then
there is the Chicago Records Washing
ton man. who writes that the prevailing
! impression among naval experts at the
| capital is, that the disaster was due to
an accident, though there are few who
| have theory to maintain and there
are constructors and contractors who
have reputation to preserve, and can
not see how accident was possible. The
| highly favored war news that comes
from Washington, he says, is cooked up
by reporters and the younger naval fire.
eaters, who sit around a bottle and
spoil for fight. He reports New York
newspapers instructions to its cores
pondent who had investigated rumor
and found it false: I'D the truth
give US something that will sell the
paper" On the whole, and with a few
conspicuously noisy exceptions, it will
have to be confessed that the news
papers have been very temperate in
their utterances and discreet in their be-
havior. Most of them, like the people
have been content to wait for facts be-

The death Of DR.. John Parker May

dion as dressing for wounds, is re-

science and surgery, from the discov-

by Jackson and Morton of Boston, down

Of the stomach was reported, not long
ago, from Europe, a young surgeon of
wide practice took the announcement in
a very matter-of-fact way, and re-
marked that equally wonderful things
were sometimes done at the Massachu-
sets General Hospital, and never re-
ported publicly. Then he gave instances
of Americans who had gone abroad for
treatment, but who were surprised to
have the European specialists tell them
that they could get as expert and ad-
vanced treatment in Boston as in any
European city. In dentistry, Ameri-
cans have long led the world, and there
are other matters in which we boast
of our superior efficiency, but apparent

Attention is again called to the way
in which Spanish credit at home stands
up, despite the nations various atflic-
tons. A few days ago, it was noted
that the Spanish bonds held in France
under the guarantee of Cuban revenues,
had maintained their price with remark
able steadiness. Now comes the obser-
walton that in spite of the loans forced
upon the Spanish bank, AMI the conse-
quent over-issue of some millions of the
banks currency and the suspension of
gold payments, this paper currency has
deprecated scarcely twenty-five per
cent, and for part OF the time the de-
probation has not equalled 20 per cent,
