PROTEST OF AGONClLlO
Objects to This Governments Attitude To-
ward His Oountrymen.
Have e'Been Fighting for Freedom for
couraEed by America.

Sixto Lopez, secretary to Agoncillo, the
Philippine representative here. called at
the State Department late yesterday after
noon and left with Chief Clerk Michael an
other communication addressed to the Sec
retary OF State. protesting against the at
titude of our government toward the Fill
pino republic" The terms of the protest
do not go so far an ultimatum. The
same fate awaits this communication as
that which befel its predecessor-it will be
automatically ignored.
Accompanying the communication is a
long memorial addressed to the Senate,
containing a comprehensive argument in
opposition to the ratification Of the treaty,
and which the envoy asks the President to
send to that body. The letter Of thansmit-
tai contains more than the mere request,
but Agoncillo feels that he is bound by
courtesy not to make 1t public until an
opportunity is. mad by the State Depart
ment officials oanake a reply.
The memorial to the Senate Is long docu-
ment. both historical and argumentatiye in
character. and is protest that this gov
ernment has, no jurisdiction, natural or ac-
CURED, through 4ny Of its agencies. to ad-
1udfcate IN any banner upon the rights of
the Philfppiae country and its people
Fighting tor Years for Independence.
He refers 10 ''the historical, fact that a.
large number ,4ot my countrymen have
never been spbdued by Spanish power, and,
as against their liberties. the oppressive
arm Of Spain has never been able to sus-
tain ITSELF that the remainder, because of
their adhesion to the cause Of liberty have
been In almost constant insurrection against
the government of Spain, these conflicts
existing continuously with greater or less
fury for the past hundred years"
The Impression. he ontinues, has been
created in America that at the time of the
aeclaration of war between America and
Spain the Philippine revolution no longer
existed. He quotes from communica tions
from Consul General Williams at Manila
ana Mr.. Pratt as a result OF which Agon-
clio says that Without additional author
ity, 1t must be evident to your honorable
body that an extensive revolution existed
In the Philippine Islands at the time of the
declaration Of war by America against
The purpose OF the Filipino patriots in
conducting this revolution was. It Is assert
ed. to secure the complete independence OF
their country. and in this effort they receiv-
ed the encouragement of the United States:

The presence in the dock of the Police
Court this morning of young colored man
named John II. Foultz gave rise to a ru-
NOR that the much-wanted Dorsey Foultz
had been captured.

OF the court visitors who had heard the
rumor
There he is.' said an officer to one of
the attorneys
He amt no Dorsey Foultz" came the
response. Il knew Dorsey" one man added
John Fonltz. the prisoner, admitted no
relationship existing between Dorsey and
himself. He declared he did not even
know the fugitive.
John had been a member of Company d,
9th Ohio Volunteers. and stopped here last
night on his way from South Carolina to
his home. After purchasing a revolver to
take home as a souvenir he called at a
saloon. where he treated all who would
drink with him. When he left the saloon

Filipinos Had Gained Freedom.
Additional historical facts are here pre-
sented and quotations made from mani
festos of the Filipinos and from other doc
unlents, from which, says the envoy, it
must appear that the Philippine nation
had achieved its independence free from
any danger Of losing 1t at the hands of the
Spaniards prio- even to the signing of the
protocol"
Spain having been driven away from the
islands and the Inhabitants having estab-
hshed a government satisfactory to them
selves and maintaining order throughout
the territories, what justification. Agoncillo
asks, can any other nation advance for in
terfering with his country or refusing to
extend toward 1t the obligations of inter-
national laws? Could Spain, he asks give
to any nation better right than she pos
sessed? She could not confer possession, for
she did not enjoy 1t, and any former right
Of possession claimed by her had been ex-
tinguished by the destruction Of her sover
eighty.
Bearing on the discussion OF the question
whether the American government can ac-
quire right to the Philippines from Spain
by treaty the memorial calls attention to
several notable and exact American prece-
dents" and Agoncillo says he could ask
for his country mo better fortune than to
have the republic of America as at present
constituted adhere to the teachings of in
ternational law as laid down by some of its
founders"
Senior Agoncillo in conclusion summarized
the various reasons set out In detail why
the treaty should not be ratified and ex-
presses an earnest hope that the represen-
tations he has ventur~a to make will re-
ceive the grave consideration of the Sen
ate before final action is taken upon the
treaty. which contains SO much OF conse-

What Superintendent Russell Has to
Say About Them.

The Philadelphia Press of Thursday
contained an article, which was re-
printed in this paper yesterday, stat
ing that the management of the Lack
awanna company was strongly con-
sidering making the company's prop
erty on the EoCono mountains one of
the famous summer resorts OF the
company. The natural beauty of it,
and easy access from Philadelphia
and New York and other points inn
pressed Traffic Manager Caldwell and
General Superintendent Russell who
recently made a tour of inspection
Mr.. Russell was seen at his office
yesterday by a Tribune reporter with
reference to the subject. In answer
to the query put, Mr.. Russell saidc
Yes. that is true, but we will not
do very much this year. Next year,
however, l believe our plan will be
carried into effect. We will point out
to leading hotel men the many ad-
vantages of the Pocono mountains. OF
course we are not in the hotel bus-
ness, and l cannot say anything of
what will be done in that line.
"It is the intention of the company
to make every resort along cur lines
as attractive as possible"

The opinion in the case of Giles
Stanton against the Scranton Rail.
way company which was recently
passed upon by the supreme court,
was received by ProthOnOtary John
Copeland yesterday. It was written
by President Judge Rice and part of
it is as follows:
"The plaintiff was in the lawful and
non-negligent use Of this highway
when he was injured. Tho circum-
stances of his injury We're not so eN-
traordnary as TO Justify the court in
declaring as matter of law that the
defendant could not be expected TO
forsee the probability of his receiving
such n fall as natural result of leav-
ing the highway in such a condition.
This was a question for the jury.
This point, as well as the other
questions in the case is so thoroughly
and satisfactorily considered in the
charge to the jury and in the opinion
subsequently filed by the learned judge
who presided at the trial, that we do
not deem it necessary to elaborate
further. We find no error in the rec
ora and the judgment is therefore af-
firmod."
The plaintiff recovered a verdict of
over $500 when the case was tried
here.
