ever, reconsider its action of a week ago
in abolishing additional secretaries of

bitter at times, the race question being
brought out prominently, and once in
the discussion an angry delegate ac-

Spooner quoted despatch from Cen

eral Otis informed him that the sugges-
ton of the establishment of a neutral
zone or an armistice in the circum-
stances would have to come from
Aguinaldo. An officer was sent to
Aguinaldo by Judge Torres with a re-
quest that an armistiee be raised and
