AguinaIdo's Agent Says the Capture of
MOIOlOs Is Not ImpOrtant.

PARIS. April 2.-Agoncillo. the agent of
Aguinaldo. in the course of an interview
published to-day in La Patrie, says: THE
capture of Malolos is not important
the Americans are trying to make it appear.
The Filipino government had already de-
termined upon removal TO San Fernandino
and a small detachment of troops was left
with orders to burn the town and thus to
draw the Americans inland. Two months of
rain and fever will save the Filipinos their
ammunition and a good deal of trouble and
the war will not end while a single Filipino
remains to bear arms
Agoncillo charges Major General Otis with
opening the hostilities and holds the Amer
leans responsible for the transfer of the
Spanish prisoners and for preventing the
Fiipinos negotiating a treaty with Spain.
Agoncillo is confined to his room with the
influenza.

Totals

The following points in connection with
examination of the Spanish ships Is en-
phasized by Lieutenant Elliott:
First-The sides of iron and Steel-bulit
cruisers do not arrest projectiles enough TO
explode them.
Second-The incendiary effect of bursting
eight-nch shells is great. and far greater
than would seem proportionate TO that of
lower calibers.
Third-At ranges over 300 yards the gun
shields of cruisers are in no sense protec-
ton, but insure the humiliation of the gun :
crew and the disabling of the gun if struck
by a large projectile.
Fourth-War ships of the present day will
generally be placed horS de combat by con-
f1agration and the destruction of their per-
sonnet before they are sunk by gun fire.

is an impossibility. The interstate
commerce law, as far as Investigations
and consequences are concerned, is a
roaring farce"
On the question of issuing free passes
the witness conceded with the view
that this practice should be abolished.
"We find it to our interest, however,
to extend favors to certain classes of
men referring to members of the judi
ciary] who may ask for them"
