On the occasion of Aguinaldo's f,s
visit to the Olympia he was accor5s
the greatest ceremony that could \
bestowed on n man of high rank IN.
admiral in person met him nj "A.
gangway, the marines were nll drsw,
up at attention and everything ercsr,
the firing of n salute was tendenS
1t Is to be assumed that he was ma.
ciently dazed and fiattered, for he Il,
never ceased to be very friendly Ana
anxious to act in compliance with m
admiral's wishes.
Not long ago General Andsru,
wanted TO take n pleasure trip I'D n,
River Pasig, but was stopped al N
insurgent lines and compelled to I'M
back. A day or two afterward the a.
miral sat on the quarter deck and h
saw an insurgent launch steamIp,
gayly along near his ship, with the In.
surgent flag flying. Then an idea d
reciprocity occurred to him and he d..
cided to seize all the insurreut
launches. This was at once done apd
eight beautiful craft were tied I'D IN
Cavite. When Aguinaldo heard Of The
calamity he sent his private seereiary
Escamillo. to see the admiral and 10
find out what had been done to Offend
him. The admiral was very nice and
he gave Escamillo heart-tohear
talk. He spoke of the insurgents re-
fuslng to allow American army off,
GERS to go through their lines and be
thought that he would not allow the
insurgent launches to go through biz
lines. So for that reason he had taken
them-not confiscated them, Just "de
tained" them. The next day Agulnalb
gnve orders permitting American @
GERS to go through the insurgent lls
and up the river, and doubtless 10 \
day or two he will send beautfd
present to his ''illustrious friend
