THE reason of Agoncillo's flight
from Washington in advance of the
attack on Manila is explained by
Maj. Gen. Otis, who reports that
Agoncillo cabled Aguinaldo to drive
out the Americans before the re-
endorsements arrived. The message
was mailed from Hong Kong to
Malolos, and directed the attack to
be made February I. The eager
ness of the rebels precipitated the
engagement before the time set, and
it began the night of the 4th.
