quarters at Csvite -Aguinaldo's Simple
Reception of visitors.
If General Emilio Aguinaldo, who
has declared himself dictator Of all the
Philippines, were to walk the streets of
an American city, the casual observer
would take him for q Japanese student
or artisan: He is short, but we'll knit,
has the Japanese cast Of face and form
Of head, and the casual observation
would be strengthened by bristly black
pompadour Of the kind so common
among the mikado's subjects. There are
no outward or visible marks Of genius
except that the general Is slow and de-
liberate. and that may be sign Of depth
and breadth Of mental 'caliber. Agui-
naldo is unruHled alike in victory and
defeat. In the privacy Of his state cham
Der he may execute a double shuttle OF
survey himself in a mirror when his
trusted lieutenants bring tidings Of q
fresh victory or he may toss on his cot
at night when the Spanish occasionally
have the advantage, but the visitor
searches in vain for the play Of emotion,
sentiment. hope Or despair when he is
presented.
The correspondent at Cavite Of the
New York. Tribune brought Aguinaldo
the tidings from Hongkong of the seizure
Of the cargotof the Pasig. The interpre-
ter was a little slow in breaking the
news, but when 1t was told the chief
tain simply said It was ''too bad' and
extended the warmest thanks for the
unwelcome advioes.
Aguinaldo's chief concern now is the
preservation Of his precious head. Jap.
anese heads are cheap enough nowadays,
but the Spanish have bid this one up to
425, 000.a When he FIRST landed here,
Aguinaldo fought with his men, but
there soon came a need for more execu-
tive work and an increasing fear of as
sassination, and the leader sought safety
in Cavite. There he is surrounded by a
corps of his trusted followers. The safe
guards which surround him there are
such that he Is protected from every
thing save the treaohery Of those in high
place.
He has established headquarters in
the former home Of q rich native, situs
ated, on Gale de Arsenal, Cavities main
svenue. The house is broad, low, roomy
and typically Spanish. It was in old
Cavite that Aguinaldo was born 90
years ago, and he has established his
aged mother and several of his relatives
in his headquarters There is a paved
court at the street entrance. and a guard

oiously like blue bingham marked down
to 8 cents.
There is little delay for the American
visitor, and the summons to enter the
reception room comes quickly. The
presentations are simple. Aguinaldo
comes in, extends his hand for a short
shake and then motions the visitors to
seats. He wears a spotless suit Of white
linen, a white shirt with we'll polished
front, q high collar and a black cravat
tied in a bow and red velvet slippers
embroidered in gold.
When questioned as to his troops at
q recent interview, General Aguinaldo
examined a small map showing the
provinces heading On Manila bay and
traced the movements of his troops, the
distribution of his %garrisons, the loca-
tions of his lines and the prospective
advances with a deliberation and mas
terry Of details that at least carried the
conviction of triumph. He smiled over
the capture Of Batangas without the
loss Of q man, but that was the only
change in his countenance in a long
interview. It took a long stretch of the
imagination to fully appreciate that the
quiet little man in spotless linen was
the leader of an active rebellion and
the ally Of an invading force. .Aguinal-
do is quite comfortable in the looted
town of Cavite. In his office he has a

ed mirror that came from some Euro.
pean mart; a couple Of large, strong
iron boxes for the dictatorial treasury,
an abundance of easy chairs, an old
grand piano several feet taller than the
modern make and a large hatraok Of
fanciful design. The only signs of war
were the ends of sword chains that
peeped through holes in the gingham
coats of the officers in attendance and
a metallic standard holder that leaned
against the hatrack.
The court Of the dictator is not i'm.
pressive. A chamberlain was identified
as a boatman who had worked for some
days for the newspaper correspondents,
and there were other touches Of opera
bouffe. Aguinaldo's present concern Is
the defeat of Augusti, and he will not
discuss the future Of the islands. He
and his followers, however, hope for a
republic under a limited American pro.
te~ctorate. Aguinaldo seems to possess
real ability, but none Of his followers
shine in the estimate Of the Americans
here. They are of a rather low order,
as a rule, and generally ignorant and
~illiterate, and Aguinaldo himself has
not completely proved his strength Of
character, but he has fought long and
hard, success is in sight, and he is am.
bilious. So are his followers.

A Mistake.

An item is going the rounds to the
effect that engine No l1O1, which was
purchased by the E. P. & N E. rail-
road q few months ago, to do work on
the Sacramento mountain branch OF
their line, had been declared a failure
for that particular work and that it
has been rejected by the E. P. & N E.
officials. Such statement Is as far
from the facts in the case as it possibly
can be. The truth is that the curves
were too great for the engine and the
Baldwin people thought that by put
ting the truck under her tender on a
pivot she would be able to sround the
curves, This change was made and
the engine again started for the front
but only succeeded in getting between
twosand three miles north of here
when she fell through one of the curves
and was returned to Ell Paso and wild
er tires ordered. Yesterday new tires,
two inches and half wider than
the present ones, arrived and will be
put on at the G. 81. shops today. With
these tires it is almost certain that the
engine will:do the work.required of her.
In the event of the engine being un-
able to round the curves with the new
tires, however, the E. P. & N. E. com
pany will s.raighten the curves to suit
the engine. The idea Of the company
rejecting the No. 1O1 has never been
considered. She will make another at
tempt at the sharp curves and steep
grades OF that line again next Thurs
day.
