WILD.nAX AND AGUINAL.DO. Explanation Ottered, for a Discredited Report From Hong Kong. - Washington, Dec. . C Nothing has been heard officially to confirm the report from Hong Kong that Aguin aldo kits agreed to surrender to Wild man, United States Consul fJeueral at Hong Kong, if the latter would go to Manila to receive him.

As the flames slowly rose, wreathing about the condemned wretch, who was leaning forward help less from (his struggles, his cries were heard above the crackling and hissing.
