A PHILIPPINE CYCLONE.
Daring Exploration of the Crater OF
Tael by Dr. Kane.

Prof. Charles w. Shields writes OF
"The Arctic Monument Named for
Tennyson by DR.. Kane" and inciden-
tally gives a sketch of the latter in the
August Century. Prof. Shields says;
1t was at Luzon, the largest of the
Philippine islands, that this adventur-
Gus spirit, though under a scientific
impulse, passed the limits of prudence
in his far-famed exploration Of the
crater of 1'ael, volcano on the Pacific
coast Of the island, in a region in
habited only by savages. Crossing
over to the capital city OF the island
during one of the long delays of Chi
nese diplomacy he procured an escort
Of natives from the archbishop Of Ma
Mia, and, in company, with his friend,
Baron Loe, a relative OF Metternich s.
penetrated the country to the asphaltic
lake in which the island volcano is
situated. The gentlemen at first de-
scended together until they reached a
precipice overhanging the cavernous
gulf of the crater, when the baron saw
further progress to be impossible. But
strances Of the whole party, insisted
upon being lowered over the ledge by
means OF rope made of bamboos,
and held in the hands of the natives.

rumors spread before them among the
pigmy savages on the island of the pro-
fame invasion that had been made into
the mysteries Of the Tael, and an
angry mob gathered about them, which
was only dispersed by one or two pistol

padres. The trophies of the expedi-
ton were some valuable mineral spe,l-

have received the insurgent leader
kindly, gave him two modern field
pieces, 800 rifles and plenty of ammuni-
subtle a diplomat to commit either
himself or the government to any wild
scheme. Fancy a republic OF some
5000, 900 people, of whom one-half are
savages, and the rest, not more than
about $4,000 excepted, with such civil
ization as Spain chose to impart. OF
these 100000 not more than per
cent can read. The Spaniards and
Filipinos-that is, natives of the Phil
lppines of Spanish parents-number,
perhaps, 100000. To establish a re-
publican form OF government under
these conditions would mean to plunge
them at once into barbarism.
And yet this is what Aguinaldo is
fighting for and which may cause a
clash of arms between him and the
United States forces. If they do come
together, however, the insurgent leader
will quickly learn that the methods OF
the United States troops are different
from the Spaniards and may soon find
himself with his arms tied before a
firing squad.
He has established himself in a fine
house at Cavite, where, surrounded by
his officers, he conducts the campaign
against the Spaniards.
He has a modern desk, backed by
huge bevel-edged mirror, couple of
large iron strong boxes for the dicta-
torial treasury, an abundance OF easy
chairs, an old grand piano several feet
taller than the modern make, and
large hat rack of fanciful design. The
only signs of war are the ends of
sword chains that peeped through holes
in the Bingham coats OF the officers in
attendance, and a metallic standard
holder that leaned against the hat rack.
The court Of the dictator is not impress

a boatman, and there were other

AGUINALDO'S AMBITION
1t Knows No Bounds and Like as Not He Will
Insist On Ruling the Philip
pine Islands.

The most perpleIing question OF the
war with Spain is yet to be met. This
is the disposition Of the Philippine is
lands and incidentally the disposition
OF Aguinaldo and his bands of insur-
gents. That the leader of the insur-
gents has been playing fast and loose
with Dewey since his return to Manila
on the Olympia has been fully demon
strated upon several occasions, and 1t
is fact that for the past three weeks
he has been the chief cause OF concern
to both Admiral Dewey and Gen. Mer-
rift. They have prepared themselves
for any trickery on the part of Aguin-
aldo and have been keeping a close
watch upon him, in consequence OF
which he had been so far kept in check.
But how long will he remain passive?
His declaration appointing himself die
tator was not received by Admiral
Dewey with the enthusiasm that the
insurgent leader hoped for. In fact, he
was rather put out by the way the adj
miral took It. Since his declaration
he has been getting his forces together
and now has several thousand men
armed with Mauser and Remington
rifles, together with several hundred
thousand rounds of ammunition.
His forces are now at the very doors
OF Manila and daily and nightly the
roar of field artillery and magazine
rifles may be heard from the suburbs
of the city. So resolute has been the
steady advance that the water supply
is now in the hands of the rebels. who
at any moment have the power to leave
the garrison and the civilian popula-
ton without water. Agunaldo is no
fool. He knew he must get his arms
from the Americans. After securing
them he dropped his mask and became
openly insolent. While he has kept
up friendly front he has issued secret
orders to his men not to permit the
Americans to secure necessary horses
or other equipments.
Aguinaldo, who looks like a Japan
csc. has been the cause OF more trou-
BILE to Spain than probably any other
Of her subjects. At one time there
was an offer OF $4,000 for him dead or
alive. Although but &c years of age,

orleans here. They are of rather low
order as a rule, and generally ignorant
and illiterate and Aguinaldo himself
has not completely proved his strength
and character.
That Gen. Merritt fully realizes
the situation in Manila is best told in
his own dispatches to the home gov
eminent, in the last OF which he sug
gested that his forces be increased to
$4,000. With this force he will be in
a position to meet any emergency. In
the meantime the $4,000 troops under
him are camped under the profession
OF Admiral Dewey's feet. Until con-
fident of his force Gen. Merritt will
probably make no move. But If at
tackled or forced to attack Aguinaldo's
forces there will be inauguarated n
campaign the end of which no one can
foresee.

his life has been one of daring and
desperate deeds.
He was the leader in the last rebel
lion, but terms were finally made with
the Spaniards by which Aguinaldo and
his chief followers were paid an indem-
nifty Of 100000 on their leaving the
islands forever. All the insurgents
imprisoned got their freedom, and re-
forms were granted for which the ma
tives had asked.
Aguinaldo, with his companions, ex-
ecuted his part of the agreement by
leaving the Philippines, but the Span
iards paid only part of the indemnity
and never carried out the promised re-
forms. Their chief object seemed to
be to get rid of Aguinaldo. When,
therefore Admiral Dewey destroyed the
Spanish squadron and blockaded Ma
Mia, Gen. Aguinaldo reported first to
the American Consul General, Pratt,
at Singapore, and later TO Consul Gen
eral Wildman, at Hong Kong.
An agreement was soon reached by
which he was permitted to go to the
Philippines. Upon his arrival he first
submitted his plans and wishes to
Admiral Dewey and then proceeded to
organize his forces for active opera
tions. With the ammunition found in
the arsenal, arms secured from other
places and few small field pieces, he
put several thousand men upon the
tracks OF the Spaniards.
His scheme is to form a republic,
with himself as president, and in this
he tried to secure Admiral Dewey's
support. But, although the Americans

true when one isn't i'll. Let us hope
that the authorities of the hospitals
will bear this important fact in mind
and cease their discrimination against
girls who, wanting work as nurses, are
refused it because of the misfortune of
being pretty, or good-looking. There

The difference between enlightened
and unenlightened rulership Is appre-
ciated by some of the people in India,
despite the widespread discomfort that
prevails there whenever the British
government interferes with any half
civilized customs. A leading native
paper, the Pioneer of Lucknow, frank
ly says: 1--WE are yet far from true
progress. Englishmen rule over us be-
cause they are possessed of those high
moral virtues Of which we have not a
vestige. Nor are we likely to acquire
them for centuries yet. 1t is
very essential, before we demand poll
teal rights and privileges from the
Englishmen, that we should endeavor
to acquire those virtues which alone
have made Englishmen great among
the nations of the world" Such a
spirit as that prevailing among the
people would make a tributary state
easy to govern. But upon the govern
ing state would rest the tremendous
responsibility of living up to that esti-
mate OF it. There is thought for this
country, which has just annexed an in
ferior state and proposes to govern 1t.
High moral virtue in doing So to use
the Indians phrase, is all that can give
us either justification or success.
