stated be was very anxious to have peaoe
negotiations concluded at the earliest mo
ment, and to this end desired that no

It Is believed In administration circles
that as soon as Agulnaldo is convinced
ot the sincerity of the American govern.
' nient. he will surrender. He will be re
! aulred, however, to lay down his arms.
This will be the principal condition.
and. until an agreement on this point Is
