 I found myself staring at Aguinaldo,l who leaned a little forward in his chair with one hand upon his knee. He looked me right in the eyes and evidently expects ed me to begin the conversation.
 I hesitated, then said, General, what can you tell me about the future of the islands?"
 Aguinaldo shook his head. Nothing" said he.
 Would you prefer to live under Ameri- can ruler" I asked presenting the ques- tion which I knew was of utmost interest in America.
 "Yes," he said, 'I hope for a republic under limited protectorate."
 '"The Spaniards have been badly defeat- ed," remarked At this Aguinaldo smiled, and the smile deepened until his whole countenance seemed to laugh. That is good," said he, continuing the smile. !
 "Yet the insurgents have met with some defeats" ventured.
 At this Aguinaldo's face grew solemn

ed court at the street entrance and hand ed his card to the guard.
 A FORMIDABLE RECEPTION
 Behind the guard stood long double line of insurgents, guns in hand; twenty on each side, and to get into the court one must walk between this formidable line. They are ugly, low-browed fellows with an evil look for the stranger, but when the name of an American Is announced they smile and lower their guns.
 Aguinaldo's presence or absence is never made known and up to the time you meet him face to face you are uncertain whether he is at home or not, for the guards re- main absolutely impenetrable on the sub ject.
 I presented my card to the foremost of the guard. and he, glancing at it, shouted sbfnething to the line of soldiers, and im-

 In the old town of Cavite there stands a house which was the former home of rich native. The house is situated on Gale de Arsenal, which is the main avenue of Cavite. It was once the finest dwelling in the town, but for some time past it has stood deserted because no one could af- ford to hire 1t.
 Aguinaldo took possession of this roomy, rich old mansion immediately upon his ar- rival in Cavite, and there he is now es- tablished He calls it his headquarters, and he maintains there something like mill itary state. His old father and mother and several of his other relatives are liv- ing in these headquarters. and possibly wife of Aguinaldo The insurgents main- tain the greatest secrecy regarding their chieftain and only an American can reach him.

 Once inside the court things began to take on a more formidable aspect. The guard met me at the foot of the stairway which leads to the court and conducted me to the landing on top. This landing Is large and makes a good ante-chamber There were guards every four feet They were dressed in a material which looks like blue denim of the cheapest kind They tell me this material Is made in Japan and is sent to Aguinaldo by his Japanese friends in sufficient quantity to clothe all his attendants. The guards were dressed in new uniforms; and, in spite of the cheap ness of the material, they looked very neat.
 At their request I seated myself in 8 chair of Japanese mating and waited while my card was taken in. In minute the .rard who had taken my card return ed, and motioned me to follow He spoke English fairly well, and as we stepped oyer

SMALLEST FIGHTING
 MACHINE IN THE WORLD
~~~~~~~S

cavite, August 24-Your correspondent had today, the pleasure of an interview with General Emilio Agulnaldo. head of the Philippine insurgents.
 Aguinaldo is the smallest fighting ma- chine in the world. By the side of man of ordinary height he looks like a boy; standing alongside a tall man he is midget. Not only is he very short, but very slight and dark as well. He is 1.-the, agile, graceful and free of movement like a boy of A. A mere stripling you would declare him.
 Aguinaldo bids fair to become an inter- national insect. When other nations are ouieting down he is getting ready to fight He has fought so long that be has become.

 A CLOSE VIEW HE
 In moment the door at the otheTs side of the room opened and Aguinaldo came in I would never have known it wds he unless the guard had pronounced his name, so very slight and unassuming was he in appearance. He came straight toward me with short, quick steps, much as girls walks, and held out his hand with a frank smile I rose and took 1t. The insurgent General gave my hand a short. quick shake and motioned me to my chair again. He seated himself opposite.

 A DISMIsSMAL.
 Our talk was short Aguina1do suddenly arose and, motioning to the guard, intt- mated that he had pressing business out side, and before I could more than say goodbye he had disappeared by the same door through which he had entered. It was an abrupt dismissal, but not an un- friendly one.
 The guard then approached and behind him appeared a servant, bearing tray with fruit and wine. small table was set in front of me and the little repaSt was spread out by the servant. Seeing that all was meant in the most friendly fashion. I partook of it and as I ate I glanced around the room. s
 It was evidently the generals library this room in which he had chosen to re- ceiye an American. On one side stood a lady's writing desk of Japanese make, at the back was a beveled edged mirror of European manufacture, and there were several small drawers in the front. This was Aguinaldos work table. On the top lay a package of Japanese writing paper and the implements for writing.
 
 two large, strong iron boxes which were evidently the dictatorial treasury. Inside doubtless lay Aguanaldo's papers of state and probably the coin of his realm, and his own savings. for Aguinaldo has no other hiding place than this. His former home was deserted as he took his troops on to Cavite, and he carries with him all that he has in the world
 In the center of the room was the only concession to actual comfort. It was in the shape of old grand piano. several feet higher than those of modern make. and behind it stood an old-fashioned pi ano chair with a back. Possibly these be- longed to the old grandee who had form- erly inhabited the house, and Aguinaldo, when he took possession of it, had fallen heir to the piano also.
 HIS JAPANESE BIRTH.
 It was in this little town twenty-six years ago that Aguinaldo was born. His par ents, clever Japanese couple, went there to earn a living and the boy first saw the light in the old town over which he now rules absolute commander Possibly his hoyhood days were spent peering into the gardens which he little thought some day to possess.
 There were hat racks, easy chairs and foot stools of sufficient abundance, and the room somehow had the appearance of com fort, so noticeable in a Japanese home and so lacking in European households. Each chair was a bamboo, soft and yielding and the hat rack was low and the mirrors broad
 On my way out the guard saluted and the chamberlain of the household conduct ed me entirely through. the line and bow ed low at the outside gate.
 The gossip in Cavite is that Aguinaldo and his followers are preparing to take the Philippines from Spain. They will not molest our Manila. They are willing to rule the Philippines with the Americans, but they will not tolerate the Spanish. By his looks and actions, Aguinaldo told me as much this.

SPEAKER REEDS OLD stRAw HAT

e Grand Beach, Me-, SeptemDer 5.-Speaker Thomas B. Reed, of the national house of representatives, is one of the most con- spicuous figures at this picturesque coast resort. He has been here with his family at his cozy summer cottage, and says that he is enjoying every minute of the time. Many wealthy people of Portland own handsome cottages here, and occupy them from early June till the 1st of October. It is only fifteen minutes ride by train from the Forest City. < Speaker Reed is very popular with the summer colony and attends nearly all the whist and dinner parties. He takes a trip to Portland several time a week, but spends most of his vacation on a broad yeranda of his cottage. The big congress- man is not worrying himself about his con- ing election. He does not think there is any occasion for worry, and sleeps as sound in the hammock several hours ev- cry day as if there were not such a person as "Parson McKenney' in existence. He takes stroll along the beach every morn ing, and Is getting as brown as berry. He has evidently given up his bicycle riding, as he has not been seen on the beach this year. There used to be stories aAoat here that he could ride through a thick forest on his wheel and never dismount and that he could ride up a towering pine to the height of forty feet, but MT. Reed declares that there is no truth in these stories
 Arrayed in a loose coat, wide belt, pantaloons that would bag at the knees, an old straw hat of the vintage of 'n, and a general look of expansive benevolence, Speaker Reed went to the fair last week.
 He was caught out in the sudden shower, but that didn't seem to move him bit Others scooted for the grand stand. but MT Reed moved Sedate,y and in his usual way, now and then glancing upward, but mostly plodding along quietly. Others tried to climb over the heads as 1t were Of others, but MT. Reed made his way to a seat simply by the weight of matter his strong and brilliant mind was able to direct just then, as on other and more important occasions.
 It was simply Stay where you are and be killed. Move and you'll be all right" and the crowd moved. Some knew the big man, and looked at him respectfully; others didn't know him and wondered why he should be given a dry place.
 And there he sat quietly and apparently a happy man. Others heard with dread the thunder, and saw with a touch of fear the vivid lightning, but neither had any more power to move the congressman than the existing campaign in his district. There he sat- his hat pushed well back on his head, revealing the fact that his hair is getting thin, and it was simply impossible to believe in the general and admitted bad ness of the man. It was impossible to as- sociate and mild and benevolent face be- fore one with the despot of Washington, the tyrant of the house, the relentless op- pressor of the men who want to make speeches.
