AGONCILLOIS PERSISTENT.

Sixto Lopez, secretary to Agoncillo,
the Philippine representative in Wash
ington, called at the State Department
yesterday afternoon aud left with the
chief clerk another communication ad-
dressed to the Secre,ary of State pro-
testing against the attitude of the
United States government toward the
Filipino republic" The terms Of the
protest do not 90 rs far as an ultima
tum. The same late awaits this COM
munication as that which befell its pre-
decessor--it will be automatically ig.
nored.
Accompanying the communication is long
memorial addressed to the Senate containing
an argument in opposition TO the ratification
of the treaty, and which the envoy asks the
President to send to that body. The letter Of
transmttal contains more than the mere re.
qaest, but Agoncillo feels thst ne is bound by
courtesy not to make it public until an oP-
portunity is had By the stats Department
officials To reply. In the memorial the claim
is made that this country has no jurisdiction,
natural or acquired, in tho Philippine islands,
and the paper is threatening in its intention,
because oetween tbs lines it indicates thst
the Filipinos will never submit in peace to
American possession
