Spain-Talk With Aguinaldo Signals Prisoner Release
A Paris dispatch says Spain negotiates with Aguinaldo through Filipinos in Madrid for prisoner release and may seek recognition from the United States. Hong Kong reports Manila under strict censorship as Aguinaldo’s forces threaten, with natives intrenching, boats sunk to block rivers, and tense outposts. A Tokyo theologian urges three U S options: force, transfer of sovereignty with retained Manila Bay, or autonomy under American protection. Immediate action is urged amid volatile Philippine tensions and conflicting aims.
