New York, Dec. 12.-The Journals

lows:
While the American army has been
sweeping back the Philippine forces in
the great, hot valley that stretches
from Manila to the gulf of Lingayen,
Senior Felipe Agoncillo, high commits
-sioner of the Philippine republic, has
been explaining to me here in Paris
the terms upon which the revolution
airy army of the Philippines would be
willing to lay down its arms. ut is q
Senior Agoncillo, "that President Nc
meet me. All the blood that has been
shed in the Philippine islands since
last February is on his head.
Neither territorial nor state govern
ment under American sovereignty
would satisfy the nation represent.
America is too far away to make the
state system successful in the Philip
pines. Even now the American peo-
pie do not know what is going on in
the island of Luzon. Your politicians
and statesmen are absolutely ignorant
OF the Malay character. 1t is impossi-
BILE that they should ever be able to
see things from the standpoint of an
Asiatic people.
1--WE are fighting for territorial and
political independence. Until that is
achieved we cannot consent to peace.
We may be crushed by the force of SUI
perior numbers and wealth, but If our
army is beaten in the field you will
have to keep great military force in
the Philippine islands, for, whenever
there is an opportunity, the population
will rise in arms. If you capture our
firearms, the patriots will retire to the
hills and continue to fight with bolos
and bamboos. Our children and their
children will continue the struggle.
There can be no peace except that
which great standing army can en-
force. And your people must pay and
pay and pay to keep us in subsection. E"

Peary feels keenly the accident to his
feet and is much broken in spirit owing
thereto. Though he plans a northern ad-
vance next season on a somewhat chang
ed basis, it is not believed that he will
ever be able to carry it out, because of
the f~rosting of his feet and the amputa-
ton Of the toes. His withdrawal to Etah,

endeaVor to have replace him in much of

tell upon him for Arctic work. The ice
was of exceptional thickness during the

all and no ship could make latitude 81.
