AGONCILLO A FUGITIVE.
Aguinaldo's Representative Leaves
Washington for Canada ON Hear
ing News from Manila.

New York, Feb. GA dispatch to the
Herald from Albany, N. Y, says Agon-
clio, representative of the Filipino
junta in this country, passed through
that city Sunday en- route for Canada.
According to information received by
the correspondent of the Herald the
United States government has no inten-
ton of arresting Agoncillo and will al
low him to proceed across the Canadian
line.
Agoncillo says that he has been un-
able to communicate with Aguinaldo
owing to the strict censorship exer-
cised by the United States authorities
and thinks that it is his duty under the
circumstances to place himself beyond
Its jurisdiction so that he will be able
to communicate with his home people.
he says he knows nothing of battle
having occurred and thinks it possible
that no such event has taken place, al
though he adds that it is possible that
something of the kind has occurred. He
condemns the action of the United
States government in refusing to allow
him to communicate with his home gov
eminent. He says he is not going 10
canada for the purpose of avoiding ar
rest. He seemed, according to the cor
respondent of the Herald. to be nervous
and anxious to place himself beyond
the confines of this country as soon az
possible. b
