CONFIDENT Of SUCCESS
MISSION OF THE PHILIPPINE
REPRESENTATIVES,.
Felipe Agoncillo, Aguinaldo's Envoy.
Tells What He Hopes for and What
His Countrymen Want.

Felipe Agoncilo. the envoy of the
Philippine leader. and his secretary.
Senior Lopez, called at the state de-
partment recently, and left cards for
Secretary Hay, preparatory to their
departure for Paris to lay claims OF
insurgent government before the
peace commissioners. They made n1
attempt to see Secretary Hay. and did
not see him. 1t is understood that
they have conducted the principal por-
ton of their business i'm Washington
by correspondence with the President
and the state department.. and that
the President has informed them that
the peace commission itself would
have to determine the question as to
whether they shall be granted hear
ing before that body looking to the
recognition of the claims of the in
surgents in the future government Of
the Philippines.
Senior Agonicillo has made the fol
lowing statement with regard to his
mission to Washington:
ut is n mistake to say that we are
dissatisfied with what has been ac
complished for the Philippines since
we have been i'm Washington. While
we have not accomplished all thai
could have been desired by our gov
eminent and our people yet we are
fully satisfied and it can be said very
truthfully that we have accomplished
many of the purposes for which we
We're sent.
I'VE are highly pleased at our re.
ception, and believe now that the
Americans have better understands
ing of who the Philippine people are
and what they desire. which is abso-
treated with courtesy, and | must say
that my report to my people and to
President Aguinaldo must be all praise
for the Americans.
I'VE shall go to Paris and there lay
our claims before the commission.
am confident of success, and believe
that the independence of the Philip.
pines is assured. We have been great
ly pleased and aided by the reports
which have come i'm since our arrival
here from the American officers in Ma.
Mia. | think they are favorable FL
our people and are of course bounu Ia
have a great influence upon this ma
ton. They bear out the statements
| have made.
when the peace commission has
made its decision as to the disposal OF
the Philippine Islands we shall re-
turn to America and Washington With
our present representative i'm Paris.
and establish a iunta. similar to that
maintained by the Cubans here, If ou'
independence is not accorded us, and
a legation if that which we hone for
is granted us. OF course we are in nc
position to contend against so pow
erful a nation as the United States
but we will never lay down arms unit
Spain recognizes that we are no Icing
er her subjects

NEW GRAZING LANDS.

Governor Brady on his return re-
Gently from an official trip to the
Prybyloif Islands and other points to

thing running smoothly at every point
he touched. Speaking of the Alutian
Islands he said: They are destined
to become the home of countless
herds of cattle and sheep. Some of the
islands have not.a stick of timber on
them, but are covered all over with a
luNuriant growth of grass, affording

this medicine was the indirect savior

been unable to work there would have
been no way of getting supplies to

''Oh. she will never abdicate II she can

who makes all the money he can in New

China, or an Italian, who sells little things
on the streets OF New York that he may
send home the most of his profits to Italy.
The queen regent Is foreigner. She has
not taken the trouble to understand the
customs OF the country. She Is cold and
impassive. She has not made a single
friend In Spanish society. She has taken
care TO send all the money she could lay
her hands on 10 Austria. I say nothing
