AGoNCILLo's SILLY TALK.
Filipinos Will Fight Until Ameri-
cans Sue For Peace.

London, Feb. S.-The Filipino junta
here has received a cablegram from
Agoncillo, the agent of Aguinaldo, dated
Montreal, FEB. I, "deploring the hos
tilities, which have had the effect of
securing the ratification of the peace
treaty." Agoncillo also says he be-
lieves the outbreak was provoked by
the Americans in order to ensure the
ratification of the treaty, and declares
that the F'ilipinos, far from being the
aggressors, were taken by surprise and
were unprepared."
Montreal, Feb. 8.-Juan Luna and an
unknown Filipino arrived here today.
Luna said that he had simply come to
visit Agoncillo. Agoncillo was asked
about his cabiegram to the junta in
London. He admitted that he had sent
such a telegram, and intimated that
they were in a position to prove that
General Otis had been ordered to bring
on q conflict so as to force the peace
treaty through the senate. He said
he was being kept pretty well posted
on whatever was being done against his
country.
Agoncillo said further that since war
had been declared it would never be
stopped until the Americans made
overtures for peacGi They would be
wiling, however, to have a mutual con-
ference. The principal reason why
they opposed American rule was that
from what they had seen up to now of
the American soldiers, the Filipinos
would simply be slaves. He says he
sent six kilograms. to Washington and
has not yet received a single reply.
