Agonci ilo Demands Recognition of
So-callcd Republic.
01.1.1211. \Vou‘d Not be Surprised 11' rroub.
le Follows at BIanila—Ihe Delay in Rat-
ifying the Treaty Cause of the Crisis—
Agnncillo Film 9. Communication.
“’ashington, D. 0., Jan. 25.--It is ac—
knowledged in administration circles:
that Agoncillo, the Filipino represent-
ative in Washington, has practically
submitted an ultimatum- demanding
that the president recognize him at
once as the ambassador from the
"Philippine Republic, Or take the con-
sequences.“
The dispatches via Madrid and Lon—
don yesterday announcing that the
time allowed the Americans to recog-
nize the Filipino republic expired that
day, are acknowledged to have some
in so far as Agoncillo has
demanded recognition by the president.
The war department considers the sit-'
nation seiious, and each day’s delay
by the Senate in acting on the treaty
makes it wm se.
Agoncillo and his augmented junta
have informed Aguinaldo of the situ-
ation in,» Washington, but Agoncillo
has declared that the Americ 115 do
not assert their possession of the is-
lands for fear of ’the' Philippine a'i'my.
The proposed postponement of the
ratification of the treaty has so embol—
dened Agoncillo that it woudd not; sur—
prise the oillcials here if his dispatches
to Manila incited trouble there. The
matter was discussed by the cabinEt
yesterday but the administration is
powerless to. act as lOng as a vote on
the treaty is blocked.
In the last two or three days Agon—
cillo and his fellow members of the
junta have been in close consultation
with a number ofopposition senators,
concocting schemes for‘ defeating or
further delaying action on the treaty.
Inasmuch as a state of war still exists,
there is a question whether, if he con-
tinues his tactics, Agoncillo may not
be dealt with under the law.
The president and his cabinet are
still determined that the American
forces shall'not be the aggressors in
theiPhilippines, but if Aguinaldo con—
siders that the time for the Americans
to recognize the so-called republic has
expired, the Filipinos may bring about
the crisis themselves.
It is now a question whether the
Senators who are holding up the treaty
may not be the men who will cause
bloodshed in the Philippines. The 1011—
ger these senators continue their pres-
ent course the more defiant and arro-
gant the Filipinos become.
V’Vashington, D. 0., ‘Jan. 25.—-Seno1'
Lopez, secretary to Agoncillo, the
Washington representative of Aguinal-
do, called at the state department yes-
terday afternoon and lodged with the
chief clerk a communication.
Secretary Hay was attending-a meet—
ing of the cabinet at the White House.

statement:
“The purchase by the American 2111-
thorities at Hong Kong of a numbei

unnecessary and vexallous.
“Domiciliary visits throughout Ma~
nila are exaspeiating to the Filipinos.
Their suspicions are aroused by such
actions. The dispatch of reinforce--
ments is incompatible with peace and
the appointment of a commission is
only a pretext to gain time. The Am-
erican secret police is acting offensive-
ly towards the Filipinos at Hong Kong,
who are British subjects.
“The Filipino congress at Manila has
unanimous1y vetoed annexation."

Major Rufus M. Townsend of the
commissary department was a witness
yesterday. As chief commissary of the
Seguranca, he issued a large quantity
of refrigerated and canned beef and
found very‘little that was not of good
quality. It gave general satisfaction.
At the close of the examination of
'Major Townsend the commission on-
ened a' can of roast beef furnished by
General Miles, Who received it from
Captain Bean of the Philadelphia light
This beef was brought from
Ponce, Porto Rico, by Captain Bean,
and in a letter to General Miles 110
condemned the meat in strong terms.»
The opened can was passed around
to each member of the commission. 115‘
odor was fresh and wholesome.

Denby. He did so and pronounced it
excellent. The can was marked roast
beef, but the meat, had evidently been
corned.
The Government of Guam.
Norfolk. Va., Jan. 25.--Captain Rich-
21rd P. Leary U. S. N., recently ap-
pointed naval governor of the island
of Guam by President McKinley, ar-
rived here yesterday and reported to
Commandant Farquhér at the navy
yard
Until the auxiliary cruiser Yosemite,
on which he will take passage, sails.
Captain Leary will reside at the navy
yard. The Yosemite will sail in about
two weeks. ,
Captain Leary said
take command of a. division of the
Asiatic squadron under Rear Admiral
Dewey, and would use'the Yosemite
as his flagship, with headquarters at
Guam. .
Guam is to be one of the principal
naval stations of the United States in
the Pacific, and a. large steel dock will
'be built for our warships which will
coal there.
‘1 ' ‘
Laptam Leary carries to Guam a
proclamation from President McKin-
ley to the natives of the island, which
is identified with those used with Porto
Rico and Cuba.
Captain Leary said yesterday that
the most important clausewas that
“the ports occupied by the United
States shall be opened to the commerce
of all friendly powers."
Canadian Postage Changes.
Montreal, Jan. 25.—-So large has been
the demand for the two cent stamp
issued to commemorate the introduc—
tion of penny postage, that a second is-
sue has been struck off and distributed
to postmasters throughout Canada. It
is not, of course, the intention of the
pgstofl‘lce department to abandon the
older
issue. The postoffice department, al-
though consenting to purchase three
cent stamps, rendered useless by the
redluction in domestic postage, refuses
to purchase five cent stamps.
Numerous applications are being 1e-
ceived by the department, but so far
no change has been made.
