GOES TO MEET AGONCILLO.
= L. ~
Losada Has an Important Mission Re
SardinE Spanish Prisoners.

LONDON, March 21.-Losada, the Filipino
delegate, has gone to Paris, TO meet Agon-
clio, Aguinaldo's agent, who is expected
in London shortly.
The Filipino who was chief. of the Euro
pean junta during Agoncillo's absence in
America suddenly started on Saturday for
Spain by way Of Paris. Unofficial Fflipinos
here assert that he is going to Seville on
private business, and that he. will return
on April 16. -:
They admit however. that he will confer
at Paris with Agoncillo, who is said to
have been in tefegra phic communication
with Aguinaldo in order to get the latter
to appoint delegate to so to Madrid on a
mission connected with the Spanish pris-
oners in the hands of the Filipinos. 1t is
therefore Thought probable that Agoncillo
has instructed the delegate to proceed to
Madrid.
The Filipinos here assert that peace was
in sight before the recent fighting, but that
now Maj. Gen. Otis will not treat for peace
until Malolos, the Filipino headquarters, is
taken.
No Filipino accounts of the recent fight
ing have been received and they are not ex-
pected for some days to come.
