Within a week he received a note from the insurgent chief. saying: T need the sum you offer very much, and will deliver the head myself"
 Ten day later the southeast typhoon was raging. The hurricane-for it was one-Was tearing things to bits, and 1t was raining, as it can rain only in the Orient, sheet of black water flooding the earth, The two sentinels at the governor generals gate made the usual reVerent sign as priest passed in, who asked if his EXoellency was within and unengaged, They answered yes. to both questions. Don Basillo did not turn his head as some one entered, It was his secretary, he supposed, come to help prepare an eloquent statement upon the condition of the colonies, It was not the secretary, but priest, who said; Peace be with you, my son."
 The cleric locked the door, and, drop ping his cloak, said
 Do, you know me?"
 Don Basillo did not know him. It was Aguinaldo, also a twenty-inch bolo, native knife, sarp as razor, carried by every Malay in time of trou- ble, They can lop off an arm with one blow, as though it was carrot,
 T have brought the head of Aguinal- do," the chief said, touching the edge of his jewel-hilted bolo to ascertain its condition" and I claim the reward! Hasten, else l shall have to expedite the matter myself
 Don Basilio was trapped. He had to open his desk and count out the sum in spanish gold. Aguinaldo punctiliously wrote receipt, coolly counted the mon ey and walked backward toward the door, He suddenly opened it and dashed out, just ahead of a pistol bullet that cut his locks on the temples. Cap tain-General Polavieja offered him and Alexandra 8 free pardon and two hun dred thousand dollars each to quit the colony. They accepted it and got the money, only to learn that they were both to be assassinated the next night at fiesta. The two men who had un- dertaken the job were found dead, stabbed to the heart, in their own beds. On the kriss handle was a bit of paper with a line saying: Beware of the Malay's vengeance"
 Polavieja resigned and returned to Spain, being succeeded by General Au- gustin, formerly captain-general of l Barcelona.
 Aguinaldo is about twenty eight years old. He and his comrade, Alex andro, hold the future of the Philip pines almost in their hands.-Philadel- | phia Record.

TOLD OF AGUINALDO.
The Leader of the Insurgents in the Philippines Against Spanish Rule.

The Leader of the Insurgents in the
 Philippines Against Spanish Rule.
 Rancho Aguinaldo, the native dicta- tor of the Philippines, is a very pictur- esque parsonage. He is the son of a very prominent native chief Anxious that his boy should be educated, this chief confided thefi lad to the Spanish priests, who thought that Aguinaldo's influence when he grew up would help to maintain Spanish authority among the Malay population. The father is rich for native, and Rancho Aguinal- do, after being taught in the local schools, was sent to Madrid to study theology and qualify for the priesthood. After a year or two of study the young man boldly declared he would not be priest, but a soldier. So he was draft ed into one of the native regiments, in which a few of the subalterns are Ma nia men, but all the captains and field officers are Spanish.
 Nearly two years ago Aguinaldo and compatriot named Alexandra also a lieutenant of native troops, organized 8 revolt in the native corps. Aguinaldo's regiment one morning while on parade shot all the Spanish officers except a few lieutenants and took to the savan- | nas-great trackless prairies, swampy, with occasional high bits of land called mates" Here Aguinaldo made his headquarters At one time he must have had four or five thousand men un- der arms of some sort hidden in these fastnesses, raiding the rich settlements whenever they felt like it. The politi- cal governor-general of the Philippines, Senor Don Basilio Augustin y Davila, | offered reward of twenty thousand dollars for the head of Aguinaldo.

SAILORS WHO RE-ENLIST.
odd Ideas of the Jackies About Time
 and Life on Ship.

ana Llfe on Shlps
 On the day after his enlistment for a period of treee years the American man-o'war's man begins to figure on the amount of time that is to intervene before his discharge. He has two years and butt to do, the ''butt'' be- ing the remaining eleven months and twenty-nine days of the first year. On the day following his completion of the first year of his enlistment he has only a year and a butt to get through. No matter if the butt is only a single day under a year in length, the bluejacket contemplates the term with the bland est complaisance; it is not, at any rate, a whole year. even though it be three hundred and sixty-four days, and this fashion of throttling each year of his service makes him happy; it seems to bring his discharge, and the more or less tempestuous joys he carefully maps out long before his discharge, within closer range. When he has put in eighteen months of an enlistment, he breaks out the homeward- bound pen nant; he is going down the hill; and when he has finally achieved two years and has only the butt to accomplish joy fills his cup.

It was entirely covered with ruches of black chiffon, boXpleated and edged with narrow pale green gauge ribbon. Down the center of the front was black lact jabot, and it had black shirred collar with wired points.
 Dressy little capes for wear with or gandy gowns are made of white taffeta, very full at the edge, reaching short of the elbow and trimmed with frills of lace and either light blue, green, rose or yellow silk. The cape is lined to match the frills, and is tied under the chin with scarfs of taffeta heavily frilled with lace and edged with little hounces of the color. Such are very pretty and attractively old fashioned. Very pretty neck affairs are still made of chiffon arranged in a great ruche that fastens under the chin, long scarf ends furnishing a dressy finish, but such are no longer entirely new. Lit tie capes are new, They are worn with garden gowns, and should not match the dress.
 Other capes are made long in the back and slope to the fastening under the chin. These are not coquettish, but are rather romantic in effect, lend height, and are among the latest mod els. Lace shawls are being run on scarfs and used as capes, either lined or not. Fichus are still worn, many of them large and elaborate enough to be elassed as capes. The young woman with too slender neck will find it wise to have something of the sort about when she wears a low dress. She can be afraid of draughts you know.

 Scarlet has so often been condemned as the worst possible color for a soldier on the battlefield that it comes as a surprise to learn that it is almost the best. Exhaustive experiments have been carried out in Germany with squads of men dressed in light gray, dark gray, scarlet, blue and green, re- spectively. These squads marched across country, and their movements were closely watched. The first to dis appear from sight were the light grays, immediately afterward the scarlets, then the dark grays and the blue and greens And in point of difficulty to hit, scarlet came out as by far the most difficult color. Twenty picked marks men were selected, and for every three hits on the other colors there was only one on the scarlet.
