Washington, Jan. 28.-The officials at

ing the treatment to be accorded Agon
cillo, the representative here Of Agu,-
naldo, although 1t is known that he has
been held Under surveillance ever since
his arrival in this city and that 1t was
learned that he was in correspondence
over the cables with his chief, generally
through Some one of the Philippine jun
tas in Hongkong, London or Paris, but
whether any telegram has been actu-
ally intercepted, as has been reported,
cannot be learned.
There was good ground also for the
belief that Ag6ncillo was receiving ad-
vice from certain persons inimical to
the policy the president has adopted for
the treatment of the Philippine ques-

ton at this stage This had been toler-
ated reluctantly by the administration
rather than make an open issue of what
is still case possible of adjustment.
The publication two days ago of what
proved tc be a very good abstract, with
exact quotations, of the letter left the
day preceding the publication by Agon-
cillo's secretary at the state depart
ment likewise was resented as notable
breach of official decorum. The first in
clination of the officials after this pub
lication was to get rid Of Agoncilo, but
officials We're loath to take any action
in advance. of thS%.n, ss. passing upon
the pending peace treaty.
What officials Think.
Administration officials believe the
general tenor Of the advices Agonclll,
has sent his principals has been in the
line of admonition to hold off from the
acceptance of any terms from General
Otis in view of the prospect that the
paace treaty might fail in the United
States senate.
Agoncillo himself authorizes the fol-
lowing stat tament concerning the report
that the government has intercepted
dispatches from him to Aguinaldo in
which he advised that the Filipinos
would have to fight for their independ-
ence and that now was the time to act.
THE statement is absolutely false and
is calculated to excite feeling and ami
mostly in this country and to prejudice
the Filipino cause. No such telegram
has ever been sent by me, and for that
reason no such telegram could have
been int ercerted.
THE falsty of the statement is shown
by the fact that ] have cah!ed my gov
ern1nent to continue the same friend
ship which was born on the hattlefelds
against Sran. The Philippine people
have no wish and no purpose to fight
against the Americans unless they are
driven to it. Their only desire is to
strengthen the bonds now existing
Other members of the Filipino junta
who were present when Agoncillo made
his statement concurred in what he said
and emphasized the latter's declaration
that all his advices had been toward an
avoidance of rupture.

q bold champion too, for on his death
bed, when all the deeds of this life are
disclosed, he confessed to his father con-
fessor that never in all his days had he

Dante or AIiosto. So therein he probably
excels the gallant Frenchu1an who so
many years afterward took the field or
similar grounds.

THIRTY-FIVE COMMANDMENTS
Sir Jonah Darlington was not only a
noted duelist himself, but he was also
the chronicler of the most noted Irish
duels of his time, along in the close of
the last and the early days of this CEN
tLry. Then a gentleman swore by the
thirty-tlve commandments, as the code
prepared by Amby Bodkin and a couple
of associates was known. This was the
Galway code and it called for shooting
In all cases when the parties reached the
ground. 1t was based on the we'll known
Irish principle of fight first and find out
what for afterward if anybody is killed.
Barrington's first affair was with a
barrister of the name of Richard Daily
Sir John never spoke to DAILY in his
life, never spoke of him and was uncon-
scious of any cause of offense. Yet, as
DAILY wanted to have him out, and 1t was
his first invitation and public sentiment
declared such an offer should never be
declined, they met on Donnybrook field.
A Mr.. Crosby seconded harrington and
John Patterson was back of Daily Pat
terson advanced and said 1t was all a
mistake and his friend was sorry and
would call 1t off.
I'VE cannot do that yet, SIR" roared
Crosby. II show you we can't" He took a
small book from his pocket and pointed
out line of manuscript. There's the
rules-look at that, sir; see No. Z: No
apology can be received after the parties
meet without a fire. You see, there's
the rule and a young man on his first
blood cannot break rule, particularly
with a gentleman as used to the sport

In a railway accident in Ireland, and a

money therein Immediately, not stopping
by the wayside for any purpose. Larkin

his place in line, he waited at the door.

was expected. Mr. Farmer was too i'm

ascent himself, but discovered that the
balloon would not raise his weight
he then placed his son Doris In the
car In his place. The boy understands
the working of the machinery perfectly,
and made the ascent to a height of about
forty feet above the ground, but on ac-
count of brisk wind which was blowing
from the southeast it was found that the
lying machine would not answer to the
steering apparatus properly, and the test
was postponed until this evening.
AT halr past o'clock tonight the bal
loon was again inflated, and Doris
FARMER again made the ascent, allowing
the airship to rise to a height of siXty
rect above the earth. There was but
little wind to interfere with the test, and
the lad had no difficulty In managing 1t
as he desired.
He steered the machine in different di-
FSclions, making several circuits above
tne Dase ball park, where the exhibition
or test was made. There were fully 200
people present, including the stockhold-
ers in the company and a number 1f
sclent1hc men of considerable prominence
In this section of the state They watch
ed the movements of the aerial vessel
with great interest as it moved about
aooVe their heads, under the control of
the boy. If the balloon can be inflated

ventor he will make another public test
Sunday afternoon.
