"I am also asked by an Influential committee of bankers and merchants In Manila to use any available opportunity while at Washington to sound your government as to the best terms of peace." When asked the direct question whether or not he was specifically as-, credited by Aguinaldo, Senor Regidor diplomatically replied that he might be so accredited before he started for "Washington, which would be In the lat- j ter part of November. j "Have you noticed the dispatches to day stating that Aguinaldo had opened : communication with General Otis from Tarlac?" was asked. j "I place no reliance on these reports," , was the reply.

NfJW YORK, Oct. SI. A special to the Herald from Washington says: ' Epactmn-?t of the gold standard Into ' law and reform of the banking currency ' laws so as to give the country a more clastic bank-note currency, will be the leading recommendations of Secretary Gage's annual report. When the secretary went before the banking and currency committee of the ' house of representatives early In the j present administration he declared em- ! phatlcally for the enactment of the gold ' standard into law, and startled many of his party awx-elaces. Hi stood his ground, however, and has had the sat- lsfactlon of seeing the rank and file of ' his party, with wme exceptions, come j up to th sundard which he has plant- J ed. I In the same way th; secretary will 1 now take advanced ground in favor ot banking reform and a system of bank- lug which will allow banks to issue their own notes to meet extraordinary demands for currency. Tho secretary believes that a system of bank-note Issues can be devised which will insure the safety of the note holder and at lh same time will no: endanger the safety of the money entrusted to the banks by depositors. H will recommend the enactment oil a law providing for the issue of notes against deposits of bonds and green backs, treasury notes or silver certifi cates and allowing the banks to Issue additional notes against their assets. The details of the plan wll be prin cipally the same as those which he recommended In bis first annual report in 1S97.

It will take 300,000 men to effect the conquest of the Philip pines and 600,000 to maintain order there afterward. "Aguinaldo and the Filipino generals know what General Otis forthcoming campaign is to be. They only smile at It. Otis will wake no Impression on the country." T hat do they say of the Philippine situation In Madrid?" "I talked with a number of Spanish' statesmen and generals who had experi ence In the Philippines. They were all pleased to see that the United States had found the subjugation of the Phil ippines not such an easy matter as bad been expected. They declared tt an impossible achievement In the manner in which the Americans were proceed ing. "The Filipinos have offered to release the Spanish prisoners If Spain will rec ognize Filipino independence, but Spain while anxious to get the soldiers freed, does not want to offend the United States." "Do you think peace is coming?" "That depends on congress. A quick, honorable settlement would be far more advantages to the United States than this unending inconclusive war. But the Filipnlons will not stand a military government. They had enough of that from Spain and it never succeeded." Senor Regidor is a typical Filipino. He Is over 60 years of age, suave in manner and speaks English fluently, having practiced as a Spanish advocate In London SO years ago, where in com mercial circles he is highly respected both personally and professionally. banks to issue notes against their as serts under restrictions ad regulations which would Insure the absolute safety of the notes. It is stated. Is that they ! would thus be able to put out additional circulation' at times when money was in demand and retire their notes as soon as the necessity for the Increased ' cli culation was passed. This would prevent the great increase in Interest rates which now occurs pe riodically and would produce at times Euch a plethora of money as to lead In evitably to over-speculation.
