Anxious to Send Commission North

Havana. April Sat a private ses-
sion of the constitutional convention
yesterday the reports of Seniors Tam
ago and Quesada on the Platt amend
ment were rejected by an almost
unanimous vote. Nothing was done
regarding the appointment Of a COM
mission to visit Washington, though
it was expected that the question
would come up for consideration. 1t
is said there will be no further meet
ing of the convention until Saturday
owing to this being holy week. Some
of the delegates say that the question
of the appointment of commission
was the principal subject Of discus
sion. One of them says that the con-
vention will probably appoint a COM
mission and then notify Gen. Wood OF
the fact and ask him to put them In
touch with Washington regarding the
commission going there, thus avoiding
a risk of rebuff to which the commits
sioners might be exposed If they went
North without first feeling their
ground.

Aguinaldo, still detained in an apart

awaiting orders from Washington,
had expressed himself as anxious to
learn more regarding the American
system of government and had asked
Chief Justice Arellano to enlighten
him. The chief justice carefully ex-
planned the various measures passed
by the Philippine commission headed
by Judge Taft, and showed him what
provisions were made for education
and progress and for municipal and
provincial lself-government. Listening
with deep interest, Aguinaldo finally
exclaimed:
II never thought the Americans
would be so fair and LIBERAL"
Before the conversation was over he
agreed to take the oath of allegiance

"Aguinaldo's action will induce many
insurgents to capitulate. and predict
the islands will be completely pacified
by June. Aguinaldo had expressed a
willingness to visit the United States.
but when I questioned him in respect
to holding office he said he had no
desire in that direction, but intended
to retire to private life"
