Filipino Congress at NIalolos has au-

oners and will shortly hoeros~1shc Mill
tary prisoners.
The Premier, Senior Sagasta, declares
that Aguinaldo has made the liberation
of the Spanish prisoners in the Philip
pine Islands conditional upon Spain re-
cognizing the Philippine Republic.
Aguinaldo, it is stated has similarly
demanded the Natican's recognition of
the Philippine Republic.
A private despatch. from Manila says:
THE time in which the insurgents
have allowed the Americans to recognize
their independence expires tomorrow,
and hostilities are expected to reopen.
''Aguinaldo has requested the Vatican
to send a commission to negotiate for
the release of the clericals."

Mr.. Cameron Morrison Brought to Raj
eigh on a Charge of Contempt-The

Some days ago Mr.. II. c. Dockery, u.
S. Marshal. went to Rockingham with
warrant of attachment, issued by
Judge Purnell for the property of Minor
Il. Hinson and Andrew A. Williams.
bankrupts. He undertook to attach the
stock of goods assigned to Mr.. Cameron
Morrison previous to their being de-
olared bankrupts The order did not
contain Mr.. Morrrison's name and he
pointed out to the marshal that he had
no right under the order to seize the
property which he held in trust Dock
cry said he was going to take the goods
and Mr.. Morrison told him he could do
so without any resistance from him, bui
that he would not consent to 1t and
would institute an action against him
if he did so. Whereupon Dockery re-
turned to Raleigh without seizing the
voods and Judge Purnell issued rule to
Mr.. Morrison to show cause before him
at Chambers on January 23rd, why he
should not he attached for contempt, in
that he had refused to permit the ser
vice of 4 process OF his court.
Yesterday Mr.. Morrison appeared be-
fore Judge Purnell in person with his at
torney. Major John ID, Shaw and Hon.
]. 4. Lockhart. He filed a written
answer. After hearing argument by Mr.
Morrison and his two attorneys, Judge
Purnelr dismissed the rule
The contention Of Mr.. Morrison was
that Mr.. Dockery had no warrant of law
to seize the property and that he had the
right to resist his doing so, but as a
matter of fact he did not resist but
simply withheld his consent and aid.
This was a case of the King of France
who marched up the hill and then
marched down again. Mr.. Morrison was
harrassed merely for doing his duty, and
it was so clear that the Judge dismissed
the rule as soon as he heard Mr.. Nor
rison's statement The only act the
marshal complained of was that Mr.
Morrison withheld his permission to
serve an order of the court, whereas
though Mr.. Morrison's consent is neces-
sary to do a great many things in Rich
mond county, it has never before been
thought necessary to enable the Federal
court to execute its rules.

London, Jan. 23-The Filipino Junta
has received dispatches saying that if
Agoncillo. one of Aguinaldo's ENJOYS at
Washington, is not received by the Uni
ted States Government within few
days, Aguinaldo win recall him to Ma
Mia and suspend relations with the Uni
ted States, thus removing an important

AGONCILLO DOUBTS REPORT.
Washington. d. c., January 23.-
Secretary Alger this afternoon said
that while he would be pleased to hear
that the Filipinos had liberated the
Spanish prisoners held by them, he had
no official information to confirm this
statement to that effect coming from
Madrid.
1t is not to be supposed for a moment
that the Spanish Government, no matter
how desirous of securing the release Of
the prisoners more speedily than could
be accomplished through the efforts of
the United States Government, will enter
into an alliance with the insurgents
Technically the war is still in
progress. and any conddct on the part
of the Spanish Government that would
tend to increase the difficulties of the
United States in dealing with the insur-
gents would have to be reckoned for.
The officials here are not moved by
the reported threat of a Filipino Junta
in Europe to withdraw Agoncillo and
his fellows from Washington if they are
not speedily recognized officially. While
Agoncillo has been well treated infor-
mally he has not been recognized by the
Government, and it may be stated posi-
lively that he will not he.
The Filipino Representatives here are
not prepared at this time to state when
theirsefforts to obtain recognition for the
Aguinaldo Government are TO cease.
Senor AgOncillo evidently discredited
the reports that he would be called to
Manila in few days if his efforts were
not successful, as he stated that there
had been no word from Aglinaldo to
return home. The envoy made it very
clear that the Filipinos would not pro-
yoke hostilities with the United States,
but that every attempt would be made
to reach a peaceful solution of the exist
ing difficulties.
