An sgreement has been reached between

put most Of the natives under control OF
one power instead of three, az was the
case under the original agreement. This
will be decided improvement. Ths re-

due to the tripartise control and the

It was almost Inevitable that three powers

The relations between DIR. h. benjamin

still continue to be strained. The other
night he rose to protest against some
action which the Board proposed to take
and Yves ourtly Informed that the Board
wanted none of his advice. that 1t CON
sidered him simply a clerk to ohey Its or

Aguinaldo appears to have got out OF
