INTERIOR
The Filipino agent concluded with
asserting that Agoncillo, Aguinaldo's
agent in America, and the junta had
increasingly advised Aguinaldo not 10
commence hostilities, but he added the
F1lipinos regarded the landing of Amer
lean reinforcements as threat, and
this, added to the proclamation of Cen
eral Otis, refusing political rights to
the natives and inaugurating a military
regime, had trained native opinion to
the breaking point.

GENERAL OTIS JURISDICTION.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-The author
tiles Of the State and War Departments
were in consultation to-day on the legal
status of General Otis. in view of the
protocol which binds the American
forces to maintain the status quo in the
Philippines until after the ratification
of the treaty by Spain and the United
States.
The fact that the treaty must be rat
flied by both parties to the contract was
momentarily lost sight of by many per-
sons yesterday in the first flush of ex-
citement over it's ratification by the
Senate, and it was commonly remark
ed by army officers and others in the
department that the Philippines. now
being American territory" General Otis
was at liberty to handle the Filipinos
as he would an Indian outbreak The
fact. however, is that the Philippines
do not become American territory until
after the treaty has been ratified by
the Spanish CorteS.
