Ratification OF the Treaty Knocks
go Him Silly.

ndlAucAN1On OF the treaty knocks
go Him Silly.
Montreal, Que, Feb. 8. - Agoncillo
and his aid, NJ. .Marti, spent very
busy day in Montreal When shown
the dispatches announcing the ratifica-
ton OF the treaty Agoncillo appeared
dazed, and it was evident that it was
most unexpected. After a minute or
two he pulled himself together and
strobe rapidly up and down the room.
his small black eyes snapped and his
face redeemed with anger. Isis
/ "Andx So" he angrily exclaimed,
they have passed the treaty. The
great American people, after promis-
ing us our liberty, have decided to keep
the islands for themselves What
would have happened had we not be-
ieved the sacred promises of your Adj
mlral Dewey and your consular agent
and had refused to help you after the
battle of Manila bay? How could
you Americans have kept Manila if we
had not helped you? And this is the
way you repay our trust and conf
dence"
what will be the position Of the in
Sllrgent government now that the
treaty has been ratitied?' was asked.
I'VE will wait and find out what
Eour people are going to PROPOSE said
a goncillo.
"Will the insurgents continue the
war they have started against the
United StatesY
Il tell you there is no war. We do
not want to fight unless you force US
to- o..
1t was suggested that if there had
been no war the fight on Saturday and
Sunday seemed to be a rather rough
form of sport.
THAT was an accident" vehemently
replied Agoncillo. II tell you I know
our people did not mean to fight. They
sent me as their representative to talk
with your president 50 that there
would be no fight. 1t has been another
mistake of your generals. 1t is not
the first blunder they have made since
they reached Manila We have all
along regarded the Americans as our
friends. Why should we not? We
united to fight a common enemy-or
rather. you united with us, for we had
been fighting them for years. We
should have won our liberty even with
out Dewey and your soldiers. AS l
said, my private opinion is that this
fighting has been caused b ythe blum
der Of some American officer
DO you think your people would be
willing to submit to protectoratey'
was asked. .z
"Not a man." was the prompt reply.
"We want independence and independ-
ence only. That is what we have been
fighting for all along. We are a civil
lied people. We have schools and col
.eges. We are an Industrious people
and, naturally, peaceful people, but
if it should come about that the United
States should force us to fight they
would find that. while they would win
many battles, yet they could not
conquer us. Up In the mountains,
where your troops could not 60, we
would still be fighting, as we have
fought the Spaniards for 50 many
years" # 5yz

Otey, of Virginia. relative 10 securing
a portrait OF General Robert +. Lee.
When the absence Of General Lees pic
ture from the collection Of portraits
OF superintendents OF the Military Acad-
envy at West Point was brought to the
attention Of Secretary Root, that gem
tleman. in the hsartiest manner possi-
bic, declared that if portrait could be
found of the famous American general,
in the uniform he wore during his in
cumbency, It would give the War De-
partment pleasure to do it appropriate
honor.
The reason the Generals face Is not
seen at the academy among those.of the
other superintendents Is, that the collec-
ton was only begun in 1870, and is not
yet complete.
Secretary Root stated to the Dispatch

largest item of the claim is on account
Of the sufferings Of the American officers
and crews while under arrest.
Tho cases differ from those claims pre-
scented by British sealers. which were set
tied by the Boring Sea arbitration. In the
fact that while the British vessels were
seized by the American revence-cutters.
on what the arbitratcrs DECLARED to be
tho high seas, the Russian men-of-war
seized these American sealers within
seven miles Of the AsIatic coast IL Is a
matter OF interest that fer the first time
tho Russian Government contends that
the marine jurisdiction OF a country ex-
tends at least this distance from the
shore-line, instead Of being limited to a
marine league. as laid down by the old
writer's on international law.
ONE ARBITRATOR. DIR. ASSER.
The protocol through which the arbitra-
ton was arranged was prepared by United
States Minister Tower and the Russian
Foreign Office. IL was agreed by the par
ties that there should be but one arbi-
TRAITOR. and the person selected for that
post Is Or. Asser, a celebrated Dutch
iurist. who took a prominent part III the
Hague conference.
Tho case will be submitted TO him as
soon as the papers can be prepared at
