GENERAL GREENE ARRIVES.
Also Two Representatives Of Aguinaldo
on Their Way to Washington.

San Francisco, Cal. Sept. 22-Thc
steamer China from Hong Kong and
Nagasaki, arrived here to-day. Briga-
der General Greene and his staff We're
on board, as well rs Il number of sol
dicrS from Manila, who returned to this
their terms Of service.
Among the passengers We're Eilipo
.Agoncillo and Jose LOPEZ. who are going
to Washington as representatives Of
Aguinaldo. Agoncillo did not come di-
rect from Manila. but started from Hong
Kong, where he has been for some time.
He says that he is not familiar with
conditions existing at Manila, except
what he has been told by Aguinaldo.
He declines to make public what Aguin-
aldo wants or expects. but states that
the insurgents generally look Tor ul1l-
mate Independence. After Il short stay
at Washington the two men will pro
coed to Paris to attend the meeting of
the peace commission.
Speaking of the situation at Manila,
General Greene expressed the opinion
that there would be no trouble with
Aguinaldo. but he declined to 90 into
details. The health conditions at Manila
are improving. but it is extremely diff
cult to prevent the disease from spread
ing among the American soldiers. as
the SpaniardS have occupied the build
ings and nave left the germs of disease
behind them.
