Washington, D, O,, (Special.)—~OfMelals
here are in doubt as to whether Agulnaldo
in declaring his dictatorship is animated by
a desire to rid himself of bis refractory gen-
erals, Pilar and Luna, or whether he aims
to ecasoildate ln bis own hands the power
to make terms of peace.
It Is known from the reports of President
Beburman, of the American Philippine Com-
mission, that these two generals own only
faint allegiance to Aguloaldo, and their at-
titude toward the peace negotiations bas
made these negotiations ineffectual, the eiv-
lian members on the Filipino side of the
Joint commission being completly overawed
and dominated by the military element con-
trolied by these generals,
It Is Lelieved here that if Aguinaido cas

himself than he would otherwise,
