chants on this score, but the bills for these supplies were contracted previous to the month of December, and it is pro- months appropriation to pay them. Now if the one-twelfth act means anything 1t means that these bills of the merchants in which they were contracted: want to disclaim strongly on behalf of the teachers any antagonism to those mer- chants or any opposition to the payment of their just claims, for l believe them to be just and that they should be paid. But they should have been paid as the teachers salaries are, from, month to cumulate until they eat up the legal ap- propriation for an entire month, so as to prevent payment of the teachers just wrought up over this question, as they fear the stoppage of the December sal aries. with no certainty of ever getting the money. The matter Is of sufficient importance to necessitate arousing the community to realization of the great injustice being done to them.
 The difficulty comes not so much from the excessive bills for school supplies as from the overcrowding of the schools with unnecessary teachers, the number of whom Is startling. By those mean the have too many day, evening and High School substitutes The substitute list is apparently depleted, but this is caused by who have no visible occupation, and who are really not needed.
 When School Director Waller made the statement that the John Swett School had been furnished with 5000 worth of furni- ture fear that he was greatly mistaken in his figures, for I saw every piece of 1t and consider that less than half that amount should have covered the cost.
 T do not know just how the teachers attorneys will proceed in the matter of compelling the board to pay salaries, but l understand that they are actively en- gagged in formulating their plans, and I have no doubt that they will be entirely

Special Correspondence of The Call.

MANILA, Oct 2S.-Aguinaldo, ser want, schoolteacher, general and all- round grafter, is trying to make him. self famous by following the example of a certain French King who became a monument in history by the very simple process of marching and coun- termarching his troops on the side of a hill. He has, all told, hardly 5000 well-armed and organized troops, yet with this army y-in-embryo he is having more fun than dog with two tails.
 He marches them this way and that; mobilizes and disbands them; sends them this way and the other, all the while issuing blood-curdling mani- festos and patriotic addresses, which really sound very fine, but which as a matter of fact, don't amount to a row of pins. No one cares how much he plays at being soldier so long as he confines his antics to the mountains and high places. But once in a while he comes near enough to the city to annoy the army quartered here and then he is promptly brought up with round turn. Several of these little episodes have occurred since we nave been ueTe ana they lDNacldDly follow the same general programme
 Aguinaldo begins by pushing his out posts nearer and nearer to the city un- til they come close enough to the American sentries to be an eyesore. Complaints follow of their interfering with the proper discharge of business in and about the outskirts. On the heels of these complaints come rumors of various and sundry blood -curdling plots to burn and sack the city. The next move in the game is a notice to MT. Aguinaldo to withdraw to a greater distance, thereby increasing the en- chantment of his view. MT. Aguinaldo replies to these notices by addressing his cohorts in a series of burning speeches, condemning the Anglo-Sa and calling on all true Filipinos to drive from their soil the desecrating foot of the envader, or die in the at tempt. An ultimatum follows giving him day on which to either move or be put out and the troops are confined in barracks, ready to march at a mo- ment's notice if it be necessary to make the latter part of the ultimatum

SOUGHT TO TUNNEL
 FROM SAN QUENTIN
Two Convicts Detected While Drill ing Into the Floor of Their
 Na1l

SAN QUENTIN PRISON. Dec 1.-Two Russians confined on charges of burglary attempted to escape from the peniten- tiary last evening by drilling hole in the floor of their cell with the intention of sinking a shaft and tunneling their way to the bay shore. They were detected while at work by Captain Edgar and his assistants and both placed in solitary con- finement.
 The two are J. Borniatorsky who is serving twenty years for a burglary com- mtted in San Francisco. and AK Joe" who was sent from Santa Clara County for one year on a similar charge. The real name of the latter has never been learned Borniatorsky worked in the jute mill, auger, which was smuggled to his cell in the southern building. The convicts had the iron floor of their cell nearly pierced when discovered. The stupendous nature of their task is manifest when it is stated that to reach the outer world they would have had to tunnel nearly 2000 feet.
