Diplomats took lively interest I'm the
news, realizing that the government of
ihe united States will call upon them
very early to see to IL that no aid OF any
sort is rendered TO the F'ilpinos. and that
no Hlibustering expeditions shall leave
their soil with munitions OF war or sup
pies for the insurgents. Special pre-
cautions will be asked to be taken at
singapore and Hong Kong, principal
points OF the eastern trade, to prevent
the dispatch Of vessels carrying secret
cargoes In aid OF the insurgents
1t Is believed that the interests OF the
other nations in a peaceful state of things
in the east will cause them TO exercise
special vigilance in this respect. matter
OF much Importance in view OF the great
number and extent OF the Philippine ISL
ands. Without the receipt OF arms or
ammunition from the outside the in
surgents will be badly handicapped. The
United States, by refusing to recognize
Agoncillo in any way. is I'm strong posi-
tion automatically, and no doubt is ex-
pressed as to all European nations main

iusing in any manner to acknowledge

There is considerable mystery regard
ing the whereabouts OF Agoncillo, the
American representative OF the Filipinos.
He is credited by his fellow members OF
the 1unta with being In Baltimore. max
ing social call, accompanied by Captain
Morti Burgos. an officer in the Filipino
army. DR. Luna and other members OF
the tunta insist he will return today.
Ihey laughed at report which had
spread during the day that he had run
away On the other hand il is known
that the secret service officials have
Agoncillo under surveillance, wherever
ne may be. A story which seems TO come
from quarter that should be credited
states that Agoncillo left at IL 80 Satur-
day night for New York.
The other members OF the junta. Sixto
Lopez, the secretary: Juan Luna and
Jose Losada, are in the city. They mani
rested great interest in the news Of the
ighting around Manila, and claimed
that the dispatches from there showed
that the outbreak was precipitated by
the Americans. Secretary Lopez said he
had no reason to anticipate an attack at
this time by the Filipinos. DR.. Luna
called attention To the fact that the first
shSS had been fired by an American
sentry. Also that the great body of the J
Phlllppine army and their strongest en-
trenchments are on the south side Of the

The wonders of Gods Power.

We think of Gods power chiefly
when we are in the presence of some
natural phenomenon, like Niagara or
the Grand canyon Of the Yellowstone,
but no one can reflect long upon the
most commonplace landscape or other
natural fact without being impressed
by it. nor is there greater pleasure to
most devout minds than to mediate
upon such subject. Mark off square
foot of ground some time and then ex-
anime it minutely and patiently, study
ing what there is in it in the way of
plants or minerals, how it came to be
what it is, how it is changing from day
to day, and You will gain new concep-
tion of the divine power and wisdom.
To study Gods power on a large scale,
as in connection with astronomy, for
example. .impresses enc strongly with
the immensity of the divine power, but
to study it in little things impresses one
equally with its wonderful care of de-
tail, its almost incredible attention to
the perfection of details and with the
love of order and beauty which surely
must be qualities in the divine nature

Gilmore himself, he said, was III bet

was entirely destitute of clothes and all
