In America no person was imprisoned for
political reasons or for being merely sus-
pected. Every person accused had a fair
trial, and all persons were equal before
the law. The Americans had come here,
he said, to put an end ito wicked oppres-
sion and misrule. One of their first acts
was to liberate these unjustly imprisoned
F4lipinos. and now the Americans had a
right to- expect from the Filipinos loyal
and faithful friendship
The F1lipinos were dazed by their UNI
respected good fortune, but when Sandico
had finished Interpreting Capt. Moffett's
speech, they shouted; Viva los Ameri-
acanOS!" in a way that drew crowds about
the gate. Every day since then the scene
at the gate has been repeated, except
that each day the number released has
grown larger. The second day it was 1O1,
yesterday it was 118, and to-day $50. 1t

gather about the gate OF the Bilibid prison
early in the morning and when liberty
hour comes, between 10 and II, great
.throng of them stand about and listen
to the captains speech and cheer him
when the big gate swings open and their
free friends walk out Many of those
still confined have packed all their belong
ings into little bundles, ready for free
doms call at any instant. They watch
Capt Moffett with eyes that miss no mo
ton. and during the sessions In the ex-
animation room they crowd about the
open barred windows and listen with
breathless, motionless interest to the pro
ceedings inside. Capt. Moffett is working
eighteen hours q day at the prison and
half the night over his records in his
office, but he says he cannot slack uI
while these poor devils remain in unjust
confinement.
Two days after she was released Dona
Maxima Guerrero came back to Capt.
Moffett with a new complaint. She said
that when she was imprisoned she had a
lot of money and some jewelry. She
pawned the jewelry and gave the tickets
and the money to a Chinaman for safe

Of the room a long table was placed, be-

clerk, a soldier detailed as an interpreter
and Sandico, Auginaldo's aide.s Sandico
had been very much interested in Capt.
Moffett's work, particularly because the
political prisoners were all his own peo-
pie. He proved a most valuable assist
ant, both because Of his ability to talk
with the prisoners in their own tongue
whatever dialect they spoke, and of his
knowledge of Spanish customs.
The Spanish officials Of the prison were
also present and frequently Capt Moffett
asked them # they thought the prisoners
under examination were telling the truth.
To his establishment at first they replied
that they did. AfterWard they pointed

officials replied that they could not return
him ITO his home In safety because the
rebels held the province. He offered to

of the first man of the first batch Of TWEEN

from the double line which extended
across the room, and in response to San

he was right Thousands Ct others had
