named Fillipe Agoncillo and Jose Lo-
PEE, the former being Aguinaldo's
chief emissary. In an interview he
said the insurgents fully expected to
be allowed to govern themselves and
even limited that some sort of agree
ment had been made with United
States Consul Wildman regarding the
outcome of the war made by the in
surgents against Spain, but what the
terms were Agoncillo would not state.
lie said that he expected definite in
structions from Aguinaldo by cable,
but automatically refused to give the
slightest hint of any he might have al
ready received. The Filipi 4os are very
:hrewd and spoke English fluently.
