SPLIT IN THE JUNTA.
A Majority Favor Making Peace and
Desert Agoncillo.

London. April 20.-It has been
learned by a representative of the As
sociated Press that serious split has
occurred among the members of the
Filipino junta, a majority of whom
are In favor Of direct conferences with
the secretary of state at Washington,
Colonel Hay, with the view Of bring
ing about a peaceful solution of the
Philippine question. Four delgates,
Lasals, Marti, Lopez and Rivera, find
ing that Agoncillo, Aguinaldo's repre-
sentative, disagrees with this view,
have started for Manila, leaving Agon-
clio, Riogo and Lunar, who insist up
on absolute and unconditional inde-
pendence, in Europe. The others do
not object to some kind of American
intervention in the government of the
island, and they say they believe a
personal meeting between Aguinaldo
and Admiral Dwey, in whom alone,
the Filipinos declare, they have conf
dence, will lead to u settlement.

blow to the colonel would have been
much more severe. He said that he
wanted the pardon, not to shorten his
term Of imprisonment, but to relieve
him of the stigma. 1t did not matter
to him whether It took of a month. a
week a day, an hour or a minute, so
long as he got it, In fact, to get it,,
he would willingly serve additional
time.
The prison officials did their best to
comfort him, but he is terribly cut up
about the matter.
This morning an Evening Journal
reported called on Andrew c. Gray,
who is one Of the attorneys for Colonel
Cooper He confirmed the statement
that the application for a pardon had
been prevented from reaching the
president by reason Of Judge Bradford
and Mr. Vandegrift refusing to recon-
mend it, but he positively declined to
discuss the matter When asked If any
further steps would be taken, he said
that he was not in a position to answer
the question.

ton upon the broad base OF human
freedom, not slavery. The chief Justice

Filipino by the hand and say: Walk.
II you cannot l will help you. In the
white mans burden we have a mission
