AG0NCILLO PLAYS PIOUS
Makes at Least n Pretense of Very
Much Injured Innocence

Washington, Jan. 27.-Agoncillo. the rep

following statement today concerning a
published report that the government had
intercepted dispatches from him to Agui-
naldo, in WHICH he advised that the Fill
pinos would have to fight for their indie.
pendence and that now was the time to
act.
THE statement is absolutely false. and
is calculated to excite feeling and animos-
ity in this country and to prejudice the
Philippine cause. No such telegram has
ever been sent by me and for that reason
no such telegram could have been inter
cepted. The falslty of the statemen. i
shown by the fact that have cablei iay

In other quarters It was stated that
Agoncillo had sent dispatches from time

in the last few days. According % tire
Filipinos, nothing that has been sen; ad-

stances the members Of the junta assert

Beyond denying this report, Agoncillo

1t would be out of plce to eulogize on
the artistic merits of this great artist It
is conceded by musicians, critics and the
public at large, that no greater artist in
grand opera ever lived than Scalchi For
years she was the associate of Patti in
her triumphs. and it is we'll known that
Patti was jealous of the favor bestowed
upon Scalchi.
Madame Scalchi Is now taking her fare

She is supported by some of the finest
artists in the world, prominent among
which is that famous beritone Signor

WHICH HE PIOUSLY DENIES

Washington, Jan. 27.-The officials at the
state department are mute respecting the
| treatment to BIT accorded Agoncillo. the
representative here of Aguinaldo. although
il is known that he has been held under
surveillance ever since his arrival in this
city, and that ii was learned that he was
in correspondence over the cables with his
chief, geerally through some of the Phil
ippine juntas in Hong Kong. London or
Paris, but whether any telegram has been
actually intercepted cannot be learned.
| There was good ground also for the belief
that Agoncillo was receiving advice from
certain persons, inimical to the policy the
president has adopted for the treatment
of the Philippine question at this stage.
This has been tolerated reluctantly by the
administration, rather than to make an
open issue of what is still a case possible
of adjutnent. The publication two days
ago of what proved 10 be a very good
abstract, with exact quotations. of the
letter left, the day preceding the publica-
ton, by Agoncillo's secretary at the state
department, likewise was resented as a
notable breach of official decorum. The
first inclination of the officials, after this
publication, was TO get rid of Agoncillo,
but officials were loath to take any action
in advance of the senate passing upon
the pending peace treaty. especially as ac-
ton might involve passing upon certain
legal and diplomatic points involved, as
to which 1t is desired not to establish a
precedent al this time. Administration Off

treaty might fail in the senate

critical. of course but the officials ses no
reason why they cannot command It, for
