is a Spy.
DISPATCHES INTERCEPTED.

Washington, Jan. p Agoncillo,
the leader of the Filipino iunta at
this place, has finally gotten him
self into serious trouble. Evidence

been intercepted in which Agon-
clio informs Aguinaldo that the
peace treaty will be ratified on Feb
ruary 9th, and that after the rati-
fication of the treaty the president
would pursue an aggressive policy
in the Philippines. He stated
that reinforcements were being
sent to Manila, aud that if the
Filipinoswanted independencethey
would have TO fight for it. He
said that the time to strike was be.
fore more troops were sent to the
islands.
There is possibility of the ar
rest of Agoncillo as a spy The
administration hopes, however, to
exert concilliatory effect upon the
Filipinos by policy of modera-
tion.
