AGUINALDO TALKS.
He Asks Some Pertinent Cues
lions and Suggests That He
May take a Hand Against
America Later.
Is Not Without Ambition.

By Cable to The Argus.
Hong Kong, August 5.-The
following has been received by
Consul Wildman:
Cavite, August tt have
read in the newspapers that I am
getting the big head and not be-
having as I promised. In reply l
ask why should America exs
pect me to outline the policy,
present or future. and fight blind
ly for her interests, when Amers
lea will not be frank with me
and tell me whether I am fight
ing for annexation. protection or
independence. 1t is for America
to say, not me. I can take Manila
as I have defeated the Spanish
| elsewhere, but what would be the
use? If America takes Manila )
can save my men and arms fo'
what the future has in store
Now, good friends, believe me,
am not both q fool and a rogue
The interests of my people are a
sacred to me as the interests o
your people are to you.

MIR. Duncan's Contract.
Morehead City Pilot.

ICU0 ivy
The expense of transporting
the colored troops across Bogue
sound is a calculation which has
resulted very satisfactorily to
Mr.. Thomas Duncan, to whom
the contract was awarded. He
receives twenty-five cents per
head, and having sub~let the job
at 50 per boat load-the boat car
rying each trip about 100 men
he has a clear profit of % cents
on each little soldier; or a net
profit of about 1864 on the 1900
men transported to the fort. It
is said that 5000 more men are to
be encamped there, and at the
same per cent. of profit he
will clear on the whole con-
tract 81, 1854. Considering his
is a government contract, the
compensation allowed is not com
mensurate with the dignity and
influence of the position, but the
facts serve very we'll to show
and prove the utter indifference
of the Republican administration
as to the expense of running the
machine. Their people must have
Offices and the officers must 81
paid. and the thought that ex'
travagance on the part of official
entails suffering among the tax
paying poor, often produces al
exclamation like unto Damn tn
people"

Our I erms With Mexico.

As we willprobablys negotiate
terms of peace with Spain soon
it is interesting to know how our
last foreign war was brought to
an end.
Like this war, the war with
Mexico was one unkroken sues
cession of victories for the arms
of the United States.
General Taylor invaded Mexico
from the north, and General
Scott attacked at Vera Cruz
After capturing that city he
marched toward the City of Mex
leo. At Puebla he was met by
Mr.. Nicholas P. Trist. chief
clerk of the state department..
General Scott was outraged
when he learned that Mr.. Trist
Ihad brought With him the drsft
of a treaty which he was authors
lied to make with Santa Anna.
Scott refused to have anything
to do with the proceeding, but
Trist succeeded in reaching the
Mexican authorities through the
medium of the British legation.
Santa Anna refused to ask for
peace and declared that he would
not do so until the American
r armies had won more victories;
that his capital must be taken
before he would think Of giving
up the fight.
General Scott then moved fors
ward and captured the City OF
Mexico. Santa Anna. however
, still refused to talk of peace.
Trist was ordered by the state
department to return to Wash
ington. He made bold, however
to continue his efforts for peac'
and soon after the City of Mex
= leo was captured he brought tn
;. Mexican congress to terms
Under the treaty Mexico agreed
in consideration of $4,000. DOC
:. to cede to the United States a
the territory now occupied b
California, Nevada, Arizona an
Utah, and a large part of tia
which now makes Colorado an
New Mexico.
Though Trist had reall
il negotiated the treaty. he coul
not sign it, as his conmissio
had been revoked. General SEQ
a approved the treaty, but refuse
10 to take any official part in tt
proceedings. Trist finally sci

dent Polk signed it promptly.

THE ARGUS.
] AND
LEE AND CUBA,

Iho B6lLlmOr0 heIdIu SaJS 'A
when war with Spain was declared
it was confidently expected that
the first hostile movement would
be against Havana, and that Cen
eral Fitzhugh Lee would be des-
lgnated as the commander OF the
American volunteers in the as
saulting column. There is no
doubt about that. The expecta'
ton the Herald refers to was, we
may say, almost universal. What
is more, it was generally conceded
that such recognition OF General
Lee would be only right and pro-
per.
The Herald then suggests that
the circumstance that Havana was
not selected as the initial point OF
attack may have had something to
40 with the fact ssthat General
Lee was not in the first army OF IN
vasion of a country in which ne
had made such a creditable record
as the guardian of American In
t~erests," but on the strength OF a
dispatch from its Washington cor
respondent, concludes that after
all, the honor of being the first to
enter Havana has been reserved
for General Lee. That dispatch
SAYS that Immediately after the
conclusion of peace General Lee
will be sent to Cuba in command
of the Seventh Army Corps, and
that he will administer the mills
tary government until a Cuban ad-
ministration selected by the sui"
fragans of the island Is installed
Then the Herald goes on to ex-
press the opinion that as the MILL
tary commandant in Cuba during
the interim between the suspension
of hostillties and the establishment
of a civil government OF the peo'
pie, General Lee would undoubtc
eddy be the "right man in the
right place."
A Washington special to the
Baltimore Sun also SAYS that II
is understood that Lees corps Is
to 20 to Havana in the event tina
"hustilities come to an immediate
termination" but adds that it !:
not known whether Gen Lee will
have entire command Of the Is
land after the blockade shall
have been raised. General Leet

officials will probably urge tina
the supreme command OF tn
forces in Cuba after hostilitie

regular army, and there is a sus
picion that possibly politics ma
effect the appointment of TT
Governor.
Unquestionably, as the Heral
says, General Lee would be tt

Military Governor of Cuba. Whe
his qualification for the positie
and his distinguished services

period he was Consult General

the air was 48 degrees Fahrenheit and OF

which had been breaking over the ship,

21z pounds of oil in hour during this ex-

In January, 1898, Captain Gathemann
began trying soapsuds. The mixture
