THE SAMOAN QUESTION.
1t Is Practically Settled, but the Terms OF
the Agreement Are Very Care
fully Guarded.

London, Nov. I. -Although the ex.
act terms of the agreement are still
carefully guarded, the Associated press
is able to say that the Samoan question
is practically settled and that the
tinalities will take place within a few
days unless some most unexpected hitch
occurs.
1t can be said that American control
of Tutila island is confirmed and agreed
to, while the United States, it is under
stood, signitied its approval of the
projected arrangements between Ger.
many and Great Britain. None of the
recent surmises of the German press
have correctly outlined the plan, which
now seems sure of acceptance. 1t is
also emphatically denied that the
United States has been in any way
neglected in the negotiations, 1t is
pointed out that the United States,
having secured Tutila island, obtained
all she expected or desired.

AGulNALDo HATED.


Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-Two Flipinos
arrived in this city on the bark Cal
burga, which reached this port with a
cargo of hemp from Manila after a
voyage Of 147 days. Their names are
Cerferino and Morris Canon, and both
express extreme hatred for Aguinaldo.
In speaking of the war in the Philip
pines Cerferino sad
The Filipinos are losing ground, and do not
think the war will last much longer Aguind-
do is tyrant He fools his people, who are
ignorant followers, and makes them believe
that II the Americans get possession of the
islands they will be treated worse than they
were by the Spanards. Many of them still
think they are fighting Spaniards and do not
know any better.
When there are any signs Of weakening among
his troops, Aguinaldo whips them back into
line by threatening to kill them. He and his
lieutenants have thousands Of Filipinos who
would be good and peaceful citizens If they
were not forced to fight to help him get money
and power
In Manila and other places where the Amer.
cans are in control everything is quiet and
peaceful. The people like the open-hearted
way In which the government is carried on and
are anxious TO see Aguinaldo crushed
