AG0NCILLO IS SHREWD
HIS APPEAL IN BEHALF OF EILIPINOS
CLEVERLY PHRASED.
Will Not Avail, Because He viii Not
be Officially RecOGnized-Situa-
ton in the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The presentation
to the State Department yesterday of the
communication from Agoncillo, Aguinaldos
representative, as he styles himself has not
changed the attitude of the department
towards him, and there is not the slightest
probability that he will be officially recog-
nized by the President or the department.
1t is conceded that the document is cleverly
phrased with the intention to put the United
States government in the wrong in the esti-
nation of the world and it is suspected from
the half-concealed arrogance of the demand
TO be informed of the purpose of our gov
eminent in sending reinforcements to the
Philippines that this communication may
mark the adoption of new line of policy
by the insurgents in the Philippines. The
first manifestation of this in case it is de-
cided to resort to open hostilities, probably
will be the sudden departure of Agoncillo
and his staff from Washington and from the
limits of the United States.
There was an absence of advices from
General Otis to-day which led the officials
at the War Department to the conclusion
that there was no appreciate change in the
conditions at Manila or Iloilo. Inquiry into
the reports into the rapid increase in the
number of smallpox cases of American SOL
dlerS at Manila elicitS the assurance that
the sick reports sent about twice a. week
by General Otis exhibit the full extent of
the dread disease far as the officials
themselves know. The mortality rate is not
excessive but, of course it is not denied
that the soldiers would be safer at home
than they are at present in Manila, suffering
from the inconsistencies which always follows
protracted waiting without action.
most interesting report upon existing
conditions in the interior of the Island of
Luzon has reached the government through
two young naval officers, one of them Pay
master Wilcox, who made a trip afoot and
in boats clear across the greatest length of
the island. They found the obstacles to
progress even on foot almost beyond be-
lief and it required not less than two
months for them to make the trip They
have a good deal to say, incidentally, in
their report upon the political situation
and assert that the Spanish, before retiring
from the interior, managed so thoroughly
to poison the minds of the natives against
the Americans by representing them to
be slave masters and monsters, destructive
toward all alien races, that it will be only
with the greatest difficulty that confidence
In our good intentions can be implanted.

Schooner was Not Injured and
Reached Port Yesterday.

The schooner Alicia 3. Crosby, Capt.
Bunker, arrived here yesterday forenoon
from Norfolk, with cargo OF coal. She
has been over tho weeks In making the
trip, and for five days after leaving Nor
folk encountered the worst sra Capt.
Bunker says he has ever experienced. The
schooner left Norfolk two weeks ago Sum
day, having been loaded with coal In one
day. On Tuesday OF the week following
sho Was of WinterquArter shoal, not far
from the Delaware capes. The barometer
sea began TO make up considerably,
though there was not much wind. Capt.
Bunker bsgan to mako preparations for a
storm. He had read before he left Nor
folk Of the hurricane In the West Indies,
and at oncs thought that he might en-
counter 1t. The sea continued to in
GREASE rapidly until 1t reached proportions
Capt. Bunker has seldom seen before in
all Of his experience. Everything was
rssfed down, the vessel hove to and she
began to fall off to the leeward rapidly.
About Tuesday night the schooner be-
gan to encounter cross seas from the
northeast and the southeast The vessel s
head was wedgcd up SO as to take both
seas on her bow. The schooner labore1
heavily In this sea and had she not been
q remarkably fine vessel it would have
gone hard with her. The wind had been
increasing and was blowing q gale, but
it was not the wind which caused the
trouble. Two sails were blown away,
but these were replaced with others and
the schooner continued to hold her own
in spits of the tremendous sea which was
running. Capt. Bunksr says that he has
no doubt that he was on the outskirts
of the hurricane all the time, but did not
get the full force Of the gale as 1t passed
of shore from him. As 1t WAS the schoon-

was not able to take more than o few
minutes of rest at time. She vas car.

peake again when she managed to work
her way back towards the Delaware.
Capt. Bunker sighted several steamers all

with her, but without success. The Cros-
by was also near schooner at one time.
but this was lost sight of in the storm.
AT the end of five days the sea decreased
somewhat and the schooner reached
Vineyard Haven In safety. Since that
time Capt. Bunker has been endeavoring
to run up the coast encountering thick
fogs and almost continuous Gains. Mon
day at 4 o'clock he was of Cape Eliza
beth, but was forced to lay of shore all
night until yesterday morning when he
got wind enough to get into port.
Mrs. Bunker and her two sons were
with Capt. Bunker. Mrs. Bunker said
last night that there were moments when
she was a little frightened and she did
not care to repeat the experience.
