.AGUINALD0'S AMBITION
It Knows No Bounds and Like as Not He Will
Insist On Ruling the Philip
pine Islands.

i-s -. e. n,c&l.s question of the
war with Spain is yet to DO met. This
Il the disposition of the Philippine is
lands and incidentally the disposition
Of Aguinaldo and his bands of insur-
gents. That the leader Of the insur-
gents has been playing fast and loose
with Dewey since his return to Manila
on the Olympia has been fully demon
strated upon several occasions. and 1t
is fact that for the past three weeks
he has been the chief cause OF concern
TO both Admiral Dewey and Gen. Mer-
rift. They have prepared themselves
for any trickery on the part OF Aguin-
aldo and have been keeping n close
watch upon him, in consequence OF
which he had been so far kept in check.
But how long Will he ren!6in passive?
His declaration appointing himself die
tator was not received by Admiral
Dewey with the enthusiasm that the
insurgent leader hoped for. In fact. he
was rather put out by the way the ad-
miral took 1t. Since his declaration
he has been getting his forces together
and now has several thousand men
armed with Mauser and Remington
rifles, together with several hundred
thousand rounds of ammunition.
His forces are now at the very doors
Of Manila and daily and nightly the
roar OF field artillery and magazine
rifles may be heard from the suburbs
OF the city. So resolute has been the
steady advance that the water supply
is now in the hands Of the rebels, who
at any moment have the power to leave
the garrison and the civilian popula-
tion without water. Aguinaldo is no
fool. He knew he must get his arms
from the Americans. After securing
them he dropped his mask and became
openly insolent. While he has kept
up friendly front he has issued secret
orders to his men not to permit the
Americans to secure necessary horses
or other equipments.
Aguinaldo. who looks like a Japan
csc, has been the cause OF more trou-
bic to Spain than probably any other
of her subjects. At one time there
was an offer OF $4,000 for him dead or
alive. Although but &c years of age.

demur. About this time pistol shots
were fired all around and near by.
Roser fell as if dead, while Cook made
haste to get away. After going several
squares and in his haste leaving Roser
on the field of battle, Cook caught a
street car and came back to the city.

somewhat discounted, took the whole

Daring Exploration Of tho Crater of

Daring Exploration Of tho Crater of
TAsI by DIR. Kane.
Prof. Charles W. Shields writes Of
"The Arctic Monument Named for
Tennyson by DR.. Kane" and ipciden-
tally gives sketch OF the latter in the
August Century. Prof. Shields says:
1t was at Luzon. the largest OF the
Philippine islands. that this adyentur-
Gus spirit. though under n scientific
impulse. passed the limits OF prudence
in his far-famed exploration OF the
crater OF Tael, volcano on tho Pacific
coast OF the island. In q region In
habited only by savages. Crossing
over to the capital city OF the island
during one OF the long delays Of Chi
nese diplomacy. he procured IN escort
Of natives from the archbishop of Ma
Mia. and. In company. with his friend.
Baron Loe, a relative OF Metternich's,
penetrated the country to the asphaltic
lake In which the island volcano is
situated. Tho gentlemen at first de-
scended together until they reached n
precipice overhangins tho cavernous
gulf Of the crater. when the baron saw
further progress to be impossible. But
the doctor. in spite of the remon-
strances OF the whole party, insisted
upon being lowered over the ledge by
means Of a rope made OF bamboos.
and held In the hands OF the natives
under the baron's directions, until he
reached the bottom, two hundred feet
below. Loosing himself from the cord,
he forced his way downward through
the sulphurous vapors. dipped his
specimen bottle into Its waters, re-
turned to the rope, several times
stumbling, almost stifed. with the
one OF his boots charred almost to
a coal. he succeeded In again fastening
himself. and was hauled up by his
assistants. and received into their
hands, exhausted and almost insen-
sible. Remedies brought from tho
neighboring hermitage were applied.
and he was so far restored that they
could proceed on their journey. But
rumors spread before them among the
pigmy savages on the island of the pro-
fame invasion that had been made into
the mysteries of the Tael. and an
angry mob gathered about them. which
was only dispersed by one or two pistol
shots and the timely arrival OF the
padres. The trophies OF the expedi-
ton were some valuable mineral speci-
ments. n bottle of sulphur water. n Sc
ries of graphic views from recollection,
In his sketch-book. and a written de-
scription of the volcano by one of the
friars. which after many wanderings
was put in his hands as he sat at the
home dinner-table twelve years after
wards.

his life has been one of daring and
desnerate deeds

desperate deeds.
He was the leader in the last rebel
lion, but terms We're finally made with
the Spaniards by which Aguinaldo and
his chief followers were paid an indem-
nifty of 100000 on their leaving the
islands forever. All the insurgents
imprisoned got their freedom. and re-
forms were granted for which the ma
tives had asked.
Aguinaldo, with his companions. ex-
ecuted his part of the agreement by
leaving the Philippines, but the Span
iards paid only part of the indemnity
and never carried out the promised re-
forms. Their chief object seemed to
be to get rid of Aguinaldo. When,
therefore. Admiral Dewey destroyed the
Spanish squadron and blockaded Ma
Mia, Gen. Aguinaldo reported first to
the American Consul General, Pratt,
at Singapore, and later to Consul Cen
eral Wildman, at Hong Kong.
An agreement was soon reached by
which he was permitted to go to the
Philippines. Upon his arrival he first
submitted his plans and wishes to
Admiral Dewey and then proceeded to
organize his forces for active opera
tions. With the ammunition found in
places and few small field pieces, he
put several thousand men upon the
tracks of the Spaniards.
His scheme is to form a republic,
with himself as president, and in this
he tried to secure Admiral Dewey's
support. But. although the Americans
