AGONCILLO AUTHORIZES STATE
ME,NT.

.Asoncillo authorized the following
statement to-day concerning a publish
ed report that the Government had in
iercepted dispatches from him to -Asui-
naldo. IN which he advised that the
FHipinos would have to fight for their
independence and now was the time to
iact:
The statement is absolutely false,
and is calculated To excite feeling and
an'mosity lin this country and to pre-
JUDGE the Philippine cause. No such
telegram has ever been sent by me. and
for that reason no such telegram could
have been Intercepted. The falsity OF
The statement is shown by the fact that
have cabled my government to con-
tinuc the same friendship which was
born on the battlefield against Spain.
The Philippine PEOPLE have no wish and
no purpose To fight against the Ameri-
cans unless they are driven To it, Their
only desire IS 10 strengthen the bonds
now existing"
Other members of the Filipino junta
who were present when Agonc'llo made
this statement concurrcd in what he
ssid and emphasized the latter's de-
claration th1i all his advices had been
toward an avoidance OF a rupture.

Treaty VIII be Ratified.

The statement given out by close
friend OF Senator Davis to the effect
that there is positive assurance OF more
than the two-thirds necessary for the
ratification OF the peace treaty by the
senate, bears the stamp Of authenticity.
The further statement is made that
when the vote Is taken next Monday,
sixty-two senators will vote foy en-
dorscment.
II this proves TRUE it means that the
votes for the treaty will not be confined
to the Republican party. There are in
the senate forty-slx Republicans,
thirty-four Democrats. five Populists,
two Silver Party, and three classed as
independents. While there are differ
cnces among Republicans concerning
the Philippine problem, it is not known
positively that those opposed to what Is
known as the administration policy
will vote against the ratification Of
the treaty. Should they vote solidly for
the ratification, leaving the government
of the Philippines to be dealt with by
Congress thereafter. the fourteen re-
naming votes necessary TO make up
the two-thirds of the membership. vii;
be drawn from the other parties.
Mr.. Davis is the chairman of the for
eiGn relations committee. and 1t Is said
that his diplomacy is largely the cause
of the favorable outlook He has Won
many converts to the wisdom of. rati-
flying the treaty and leaving all other
matters about which there are differ
ences of opinion to future action. They
are not necessarily involved in the ac-
ceptance of the terms of peace. and
such action will avoid any likelihood of
Il rejection Of any part of the document
by the Spanish cortcs. In view of the
outlook there need be no anxiety re-
garding the result OF the vote 10 be
taken on Monday.
