AG0NCILLO DESIRES
DIPLOMATIC STANDING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Senor Agon-
clio, who is in Washington as the rep
resentative of the Philippine Govern
ment, has asked to be recognized by
the United States as such and to be
accorded the same rights as the other
diplomats. His request is now in the
hands of Secretary Hay. To-day Don
Sixto Lopez, the private secretary of
Senior Agoncillo, visited the State De-
partment and presented to the officials
letter to Secretary Hay requesting.
on behalf of Senior Agoncillo an inter
view for the purpose of arranging to
present his credentials to President
Mckinley and inquiring when it would
meet the convenience of the President
to meet the Philippine representative
The letter of Senior Lopez further
states that he is instructed by Senior
Agoncillo, in view of recent develop
ments, TO urge the advisability of an
understanding between the American
Government and the representative of
the Philippine people as to the rela-
lions between the respective nations;
such understanding to be reached either
at Washington, through the joint rep
resentatives of the two governments,
or in the Philippine Islands in a like
manner.
The letter concludes with an express
sion of the earnest hope that the friend
ly relations heretofore existing between
the two peoples may ever be main
tanned.
Accompanying the letter is memoir
andum setting forth the establishment
of the Philippine republic and the pro-
vision for detailed system of govern
ment. From the facts submitted. says
Senior Agoncillo, lit will appear that
the Philippine Government is now and
1t has been practically ever since June
is, 1898, substantially in full possession
of the territory of the people it repre-
sents."

be sent there even if no troops
were going. These transports
will hereafter be used in Pacific

departure and OF return for

THE VOLUNTEER ENGINEERS
There Is an Unwillingness to Grant
Their Discharge.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Senator Per-
l,ins and other public men are receiving
great numbers of kilograms relating to
the discharge of the Volunteer Engineers.
These officers were enlisted for the war,
and upon the ratification of the peace
treaty there will be no funds at the dis
posal of the department for paying them.
There is an unwillingness to grant dis
charges, so great is the necessity for the
services of these officers. and as the ap-
preparations for their compensation will
not much longer be available an effort
will be made to have Congress make pro-
vision for their retention in the service.

DID NOT
WANT THE ISLANDS

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The Herald
Washington correspondent telegraphs:
The Senate passed to-day the Hoar res
olution requesting the President TO send
to the Senate the instructions given TO
the Peace Commissioners.
1 asked one of the leading members
Of the Committee on Foreign Relations
what was the significance of the adop-
ton of the Hoar resolution. He re-
piled that in view of the fact that 1t
was so broad in its nature and left so
much to the discretion of the President
it would not be embarrassing either 10
the administration or to the friends If
the treaty in the Senate.
1t is not reasonable" he added, TO
suppose that the President Will be in
clined TO repeat every verbal suggestion
or purely confidential message he has
a right to deliver 10 his Commission
ers. If the motive of the resolution
was TO prove that the Commissioners
went TO Paris without any instructions
as TO the acquisition by the United
States of the entire Philippine group
there need be no mystery on that score.
1t is known that the President original
~ had no desire or intention of taking
all of the Philippines. He simply de-
sired US to take Luzon Island. 1t is
also known that Mr.. Day did not pro-
pose to go to that extent. He simply
advocated taking one of the islands. or
a portion of one of the islands, to re
used as a coaling station. There are
other members of the commission who
entertained similar views, but circum-
stances arose which rendered 1t neces-
sary to take the entire group.
Unless 1 am very much mistaken,
the members of the commission are pre-
pared to make it perfectly clear TO their
associates in the Senate and to con-
vince the majority of the American
people that the pending treaty is the
outcome of earnest and faithful DELHI
erations and in the interest of the
American people"

? MANILA, Jan. Cit is
probable that A9uinaldo
will come TO Manila to dis
cuSS with General Otis, the
American Military Gov
-ernOr, as to the best

NEW YORK, Jan. GA
Washington special to the Her
aid says:
.Advices from the Philippines,
respectfully with regard to the situ-
alton at Iloilo, are anxiously
awaited by the administration.
+. Secretaries Alger and Long
were unable to throw any further
light on the situation in the archi-
.pelago at the Cabinet meeting
this morning. The report that
Instructions were sent to General
Miller through General Otis yes
terday to capture Iloilo by force
is pronounced untrue at the War
Department. General Miller was
directed to land his troops near
.Ijoilo if his representations to the
Insurgents in regard to the pur-
poses of the United States did
mot cause them to surrender the
city without conflict.
1t was repeated to-day that the
President desires to avoid blood
shed, at least until after the treaty
of peace is ratified. When action
is taken by the Senate on that in
strument, then a firm stand will
=be taken and Iloilo will be occu-
pied. OF course, if General Mil
:lets command should be attack
ed. by the Filipinos he will resist
and. as a military measure compel
the insurgents to evacuate or sur
render the city. But the instruc-
tjons already sent especially de-
Clare that the President does not
want hostilities at this time.
Secretary Long denied to-
day that Admiral Dewey is to be
made Governor General OF the
Philippines. General Otis will be
: appointed to this positions just as
soon as the situation in those isl
2tfds warrants such action.
Dewey will return to the United
. States Just as soon as the situa-
= ton assumes a peaceful aspect.
. Commodore J. c. Watson is very
anxious to succeed him.
The orders to the gunboat Cas-
tine were changed to-day so as to
cause her to proceed direct to the
ASlatiC station. She left Havana
for San Juan, where she will coal.
and will then continue her voyage
to the Far East. Repairs to the
gunboat Yorktown are COM
pleted, and it is expected she will
receive orders to proceed to
Manila.
There has been much comment
and complaint, chiefly from the
+ Pacific Coast, regarding the &C
ton of the War Department in
: sending troops to Manila from
!: New York, necessitating the
payment OF large tolls for passage
through the Suez Canal, instead
Of sending them from San Fran
cisco, with no canal tolls to pay
and with the advantage of many
thousands of miles in distance.
Secretary Alger said to-day
that the reason troops were sent
from New York was because the
department had on the Atlantic
coast number of transports in

The Abuse Of Titles.

The Governor-this is his descrip-
tion in the State, and the Governor
of New York out OF it; Governor
Roosevelt is as vulgar as President
McKinley-rejects the address Of
Excellency. Only foolish and ig-
norant persons give it him. There
is only one proper title Of honor in
the United States. From Colonial
time the Governor Of Massachusetts
has inherited, with other curious
pomps and trappings, the title of
excellency. This was refused to the
President by the constitutional con-
vention OF 1857, after discussion
that seemed absurdly serious to mo-
dern readers. State conventions
except in Massachusetts,, followed
the example bv positive or negative
action. We have no Excellencies,
Honors or Worships. The Presi-
dent is The President, members OF
the Cabinet The Secretary OF, and
30 forth. The additions of personal
names, like Secretary Gage, is
familiarity to be avoided in respect
full diction. Judges take the name
because there are more than one,
but.not 80 the Chief Justice. Even
he is not your Honor, That is the
most general anchronism. 1t has
no more reason than Excellency,
and has the same origin, except that
that it has been made more common
by the calculated fawning of law
yers on Judges that are made sensi-
tive to Aattery by secret sense of
inferiority. A County Judge will
hear 'ep Honors for one offered to
the Count Vi Appeals The Court,
used for the second person, is the
most dignified and respected ad-
dress to judge. These second
rate initiative titles OF honor were
invented by the burgess class, when
members of it began to mount to
public station, to take place OF the
Highnesses, Graces aud Lordships
OF royalty and nobility. Superior
Judges are Honors, Mayors
Worships, and colonial governors
Excellencies. OF course, We in
hsrited the custom, but it is far
more ridiculous here. where the
thing it initiates does not exist, than
in its native home.-N Y CONNER

Can you kindly inform where the

Evening Bulletin was when the

touched me to the core of my heart

who sent out our poor countrymen
to plant that flag on the hills OF
foreign countries in the name Of
human rights and for "the dignity,
power and honor of our nation" by
shooting down the men who own
those countries and incidentally be-
ing killed and manned themselves.

feel sad to think that there was one
American here who had failed to
respond to the call Of Mckinley to
shed his blood, shatter his health
aud ruin his family in the name OF
humanity and imperialism. 1t was
there, in every battle fought, and l

Mr.. Harrington, but l would like to
know whether that ardent patriot

and physical strength of men were

editorials" were of no practical
value.
