MEMBERS SAY THAT AGONCILLO WILL RE-
TURN TO-DAY.
Washington. Feb 5.-There is considerable
mystery regarding the location Of Agoncillo, the
American representative OF the Filipinos. He ls
believed by his fellow members Of the Junta TO
be in Baltimore making a social call. accom-
panied by Captain Mort Burgos, an officer in
the Filipino Army. DR.. Luna and other mem
beers of the Junta insist that he will return to-
night or tomorrow morning.
They laughed at a report which had spread
to-day that he had run away. on the other
hand. IL is known that the Secret Service Of
Gcials have Agoncilo under surveillance. where
ever he may be- story which seems TO come
from a quarter that should be credited states
that Agoncino left at II 30 last night for New
York.
One Of the first steps Of the Administra-
ton upon hearing Of the outbreak al Ma
Mia was TO give attention TO the presence
In Washington Of Agoncillo the accredited
representative here OF the Philippine in
surgents They would not say whether or
not any steps had been taken looking 10 ms
expulsion from the United States or TO MS
arrest but his status, il can he stated, mas an

officials have been unwilling TO disturb hlin
first because they did not care 10 martyrize
him unnecessarily. and, second, because they
did not care TO expose themselves 10 the cIlt-
icisn that they were interfering Improperly win
the supply Of information and arguments re-
specting the Philippine question while the treaty
was pending before the Senate. II is possible
however that their patience is now exhausted
and that they may take some action, belieV-
ing as they do, that he has in some fashlon
been connected with this outbreak.
IL was said at the State Department PLAINLY
that Agoncillo was either a traitor or spy.
II the Philippines are regarded as American ter
ritory then he is the representative and actNe
agent OF an instruction against the Chlteu
States and as such is a traitor. II the Phinp-
pines are still in nominal Spanish possession
then. az a state Of war still technically exists
he could be regarded only as spy: - inc
iaast his presence is highly obnoxious, and
there is said 10 be ample authority for his ex-
pulsion by Presidential order

Boston Feb. 5.-Admiral Sampson this after.
noon said IN an Interview for "ThA Post" In re-
ply 10 a question as TO his opinion upon the
outbreak Of hostilitics at Manila:
THE trouble will not last long; the American
forces will very quickly settle IT,"
Would the Americans be likely push ac-
tive hostilities against the natives under pres
ent conditions|'
The Filipinos have brought their punishment
upon themselves and no blame can be attached
TO the Americans If the cable reports are true.
The Presidents hands have been tied in the pas,
by the fact that the Peace Treaty Is pending.
and he could do nothing but await the action Of
Congress in determining the relationship Of the
parties concerned in the Philippine situation
And now9"
The Fiipnos have taken it upon themseFs
to begin hostilities, taking the consequences o.
future results upon their own shoulders The
Americans are free to go ahead and punish the
offending parties"
Then you would consider the United states
actually at war with the Philippines. providing
the Americans have real been attacked
Such an attack as has been DESCRIBED IL
equivalent TO a declaration OF war II tne fin-
pinos have attacked the American troops me
fact that the treaty is pending will no longer
serve as a shield TO protect the natives OF the

following official dispatch from General Rios
the Spanish comm inder in the Philippines:
The insurgents have violently attacked ana

fence at the exterior barriers, using their ar
tillery as well as the squadron.
The warshps destroyed and burned Caloocan

Both sides suffered materially. Very sharp mr.
ing continues The Spanish troops have been
confined to quarters but a sergeant has peen
wounded by a stray bullet. Rlos

Manila. Feb 60 a. m.-The Filipinos nave
apparently reached the conclusion that the
Americans mean business. now that the barriers
are removed. as there were no further hosul-
ties last night and no attempt was mace 10
recover the lost ground. 1t is possible now
ever that they are following the tactics theF
employed against the Spaniards. and VIII take
few days TO increase their forces before return

II is impossible 10 ascertain as yet how the
news has been received at Maloos. the seat OF
the insurgent government, but the F1lpinos IN
Manila express the opinion that the movement
for independence has received its death bio" ana
that annexation will soon be welcomed seher-

Queen Victoria showed from the earliest part of her reign determina- ton to keep in her own hands the ap- pointment of those serving in her households, and she has always devot- ed attention to the selection of these persons, with the result that she has been exceedingly well served. In con- doling with the late Dean Stanley on the death of his valet, the Queen said: q am one of those who think the loss of faithful servant the loss of 8 friend, and one who can never be re- plaeed The Queen would never per nit insolence to any servant, and she has often rebuked her little great grandchildren for any childish want of ciYility to their attendants.
