PROCLAMATION OF THE PRESIDENT"
The proclamation which Agulnaldo issued
the other day shows more OF the man than
many pages Of description can tell. It recalls
irresistibly the work and worry OF Napoleon
making rules for his court about uniforms and
dress. Aguinaldo Is clever and he is ambitious
and he is INSCRIPTIONS. He has a slight adj
vantage automatically now. When Gen. Mer-
rift comes there is likely to be q change. We
shall be lucky II we do not come to an open
rupture. Here Is the proclamation:
