Einilo Aguinnl do hasjbeen removctl from his prison In'ifalitcanan pnluco and is in much moro comfortablo qunrters, whero ho was visited by a press representative. His wife was with him. Ho'was rather reluctant to talk for publication and considered every ques tion before answering. Ho said ho wna doing all ho could to assist in tho pacification of tho Filipinos and ex pressed Inmsclf as surprised at wnat the Americans had accomplished. When he was first captured, ho went on to say, ho was greatly astonished to 'find that a majority of tho Filipinos entertained tho opinion that Ameri can sovereignty was preferable to in dependence, but now ho was inclined to believe timt way himself. Ho explained that sinco tho disso lution 01 tho insurgent congress and tho declaration of guerrilla warfard, tiio chiefs had operated to all interests and purposes independently. They recognized him as commander in chief, sending him reports occasional ly and ho Issued some orders, but for tho last.acTen months communication hud'heendiflicult and ho had been almost disconnected. "I am now urging in the strongest possible manner," said Aguinuldo, "that alMnsurgctits should surrender and swear allegianco to tho United States."' Ho expresses tho opinion that Tinio, Lusban, Malvar and other rep - rcHcntativo insurgents will surrender' as soon as they coino to umicrstanu tho nature 01 -tuo amnesty otiereu them. Ho said that ho honed that I when tho work of pacification was complete and conditions wero settled, tho prisoners in Guam would bo released., , After referring in grateful terms to tho courteous treatment accorded him bv tho .military authorities, ho dc- clart'd hia conviction that tho civil government which would follow pa cification .would rcalizo tho highest hopes of the Filipino people. When rquiestioned retarding the hope that'he would visit tho United States, be. replied that he would liko to ele,n,.mtThndrnle'no plans yet," placing himself entirely at tho dis position of tho United States govern ment. In concluding tho interview, ho said : "Every word in my address to my countrymen, the Filipinos, enmo from my heart. I hope tho Americans be- liovo mo thoroughly sincero in my efforts to secure pcuco nnd, under American nuspiccs, to promoto the wolfuro and prosperity of tho Philip- pines."

VENEZUELA'S HONOR LOST. Three potr Wilt Rrfixe tn Respect the Decisions of Her Courts. ' New, York, April 20. Thrco pow ers, snys a Washington special to tho Times, havo already signified to Venezuela that they will not icspcct the deolsions of her courts,. and that certain decrees issued by her executive me null nnd void. Two other powers aro about to issuo tho snmo notico tc her, if thoy hnvo not already issued it, nnd others aro expected. In short, Venezuela is fast assuming tho placo of a paraih among nations. Tho notice referred to has already been issued by tho United States, Spain and Germany. Great Britain and Holland nre tho two nations which nro about to issuo it. Tho United States has gono futrther than tho other powers, for in the caso of the asphalt dlsputo she has served notice on Venezuela that sho reserves tho right to "review" tho decisions of that country's courts. Tho matter which hns aroused tho different nations to tako this action is totally unrelated to tho asphalt dis pute, and relates to old grievance. Tho most striking thing about it is there is abslutely no concert of action; there has not been oven a suggestion from ono power to another, and yet tho fivo powers named are taking this courso spontaneously. ABSOLUTE INDEPENDENCE. The One Great With of the People of the Island of Cuba, Jacksonville, Fla., April 20. Tho Cuban constitutional commission, whioh arrived hero last night, loft to day for Washington. General Rafael Portuondo, ono of tho committee, de fined Cuba's position as fqllows: "Nincty-nlno per cent of tho Cuban people desiro absoluto independence. It is their wish that militnry occupa tion by tho United States como to an end at onco. It may bo said that a small clement of Spaniards, from a purely commercial motlvo, favor an nexation, but tho wish for Independ ence is felt by many Cubans and Span lards alike. Those Spaniards who navcr annexation aro not impelled by any love for tho United States. Thoy hato Americans, but seem to want some sort of guaranty as to thoir prop erty and business interests. Peace with tho Americans without tho inde pendence of Cuba is impossible- I mean moral peace. I do not mean to say that in tho ovont iudependouco is not grunted war or revolution would follow, but there would bo no sympa thy, no friendliness between tho peo ples."
