WASHINGTON, Feb 11.-Government officials
are indignant over tho action OF Luna. the
senior member OF the Filipino Junta here. in
giving to the press copies Of letters purporting
to have been written by Aguinaldo to Major
Gen. Otis in regard to the release OF Spanish
civil functionaries and monks held by the in
surgents. II Agoncillo had remained here
after the ratification OF the peace treaty he
would have received notice to leave the United
States. II he had not obeyed the notice his
arrest would have followed. II was explained
to-day by an official Of high standing that
Luna Losada and Lopez had been per-
mitted to remain here solely for motives of
humanity, as Losada Is i'll with rheumatism
and cannot be moved wit hout cndangering his
health. This consideration was shown by the
Government. however. IN the understanding
that the Fiipinos would have the good sense
and the good taste TO refrain from attempting
to Influence pu bile sentiment In America or to
do acts unfrieudly to the United States. such
as keeping their agents abroad informed OF
what was going on. Luna's action concern ing
ARuinaldo's letters Is regarded as a violation
of the hos pitality OF this country, and II the
Filipino propaganda should be continued, the

be able TO be up and about soon. When he has
reached that stngc OF fconvaescorce he and his
companions will be requested to leave II is

Incident Of a Smyrna Tourist.

Walter O. HOffecker, on his recent
trip South, went into barber shop in
Port Limon, Costa Rico, to get q
shave. The price he learned. though
the barber talked Spanish, was 30 cents
Costa Rican money, silver being the
circulating medium. He got his shave
and handed the barber a quarter of a
dollar, U, s. money, which is based
on gold, and was given twenty-five
cent piece of Central American money,
but should have had so cents, the bar
ber sticking him for twenty-five cents,
because he was a foreigner and sup
posed not to know what would be his
right change in silver based on the
gold standard as in the United States,
and that in Costa Rico. where silver
is the standard of valve The rate of
exchange between the two countries is
$50 per cent, viz: one of our dollars is
worth SO. so of theirs, though the Costa
Rican dollar has as much silver in it as
the u. S. silver dollar. The only diff
ference is that in our country the
standard of value is gold and there it
is silver. He told the captain of the

THERE is an unquestiOned sympathy,
as expressed in many journals, with
the Filipinos, for whom it is claimed
they are fighting for there native land
and liberty. There are those who look
upon them in their half civilized state
as incapable of self government and
would thus become the prey of some
rapacious nation. The Speaker of
London, in commenting upon the diff
ficulties of the Americans in the Philip
pine islands, and asserting that the
new series of troubles which is said to
beinevitable after the capture of Malolos
probably puts an end to the Filipino
republic, continues:
cit must be noted throughout the
present struggle that the Philip
mos have put themselves in the wrong
The plea that they are fighting in de-
fence of their rights does not hold good
in the case of Manila, which is the
centre of European interests. 1t could
not be left to the mercy of revolution
aries. America, through no fault of
her own, has become responsible for
the good government of the Philippine
Islands, and is bound to suppress
Aguinaldo, as we suppressed Arab
Pacha, for the protection of European
interests in Egypt. 1t may be possible
hereafter to give the Filipinos local
self-gOvernment, even independence,
but for the present tt is absolutely
necessary to secure peace at Manila for
the maintenance of the commerce of
the islands. If, by threatening this,
the Filipino Government made itself
impossible, the fault lies with itself
and not with FL. United States, for
the present gallant troops in the Newer
West are the mandatories of civiliza-
ton and Europe, and are carrying on
the war in the interest of peace.
