done ON her. In view of Admiral Dew

the war department were asked to-day
why Otis had refused to recognize the
commissioners who had come 80 Manila

acting with the greatest propriety in
this matter. He was careful not to
commit the government to any recog-
milton Of Aguinaldo that would make a
precedent. and there was always the
best of reasons for Withholding conf
dence in every act OF the insurgents
where the placing of trust would i'm

one of whom is Felipe Agoncillo, sub
seQuently sent TO America. AguinaldO
later issued a power of attorney to
