Filipinos' Spanish Prisoners.

Washington, Dec. 2S Nt cabinet
meeting today it was decided TO COM
strue i'm the most liberal way that por-
ton of the treaty with Spain regard
ing the return of Spanish soldiers an,.
prisoners of war. By the terms of the
treaty the United States agreed 10
transport all such from the con-
quered territory to Spain. 1t is a
question. however. whether the terms
of the treaty cover Spanish prisoners
in the hands of the Filipino insur-
gents. The matter has been the SUBJ

tive at Manila. The cabinet decided
to admit that the language OF the
treaty covered not only these, but
their families and all Spanish civilian
officers and families. All will be sent
home at the expense OF the United
States.
