his life has been one Of daring ard
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
tlyes had asked.
Aguinaldo, with his companions, eX-
ecuted his part Of the agreement by
leaving the Philippines, but the Span
lards 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
nila, Gen. Agulnaldo reported first to
the American Consul General, Pratt,
ut Singapore, and later to Consul Gen.
eral Wildman, at Hong Kong.
An agreement was soon reached by
which he was permitted to go to tho
Philippines. Upon his arrival he first
submitted his plans and wishes to
Admiral Dewey and then proceeded to
organize his forces for active opera
tons. 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
rapport But, although the Americans

cial.)- Independence-Day was ushered In
here with a blazing sun and with martial

anxious to hear the latest from the seat
of war, and when information arrived
Of the destruction of Cervera's feet more
enthusiasm was exhibited than at any
time since the beginning Of the present
hostilitles.
Many pleasure parties left town to-day,
notably among which was the annual
Fourth Of July picnic party given by the
northern and western settlers at King s
Mill.

Main-street's New Bill.

its fury hereabouts just at the opening
hour, quite a large audience enjoyed the
new bill at Main-Street Vaudeville Park

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 7.-At o'clock this morning 1t looked as though the Southern Pacific shops would be swept away by. the flames that had consumed two of the most important shop build ings and were being famed southWard by a strong wind which had sprung up to add to the despair occasioned by lack of a sufficient water supply. That the fire did not extend over the entire area of the plant was due in part to the heroic efforts of the fire depart ments, both of the city and of the shops But 1t was due mainly to the barrier of a solid brick wall, which checked the flames. This stanch bull wark was all that saved the engine and boiler house from threatened destruc- tion. The tall brick chimney which rises high aIoft from this building was revealed only momentarily to the gathered thousands of spectators as the flames and smoke curled ominously around it All this time the monster engines inside, which supply water power for the entire shops were humping away in an effort to raise water, while the whistle overhead was frantically calling the shop men from their homes to come to the rescue oI their burning workshops.
 The roofs of the immense car ma chine shop and blaming mill and up holstery shops tumbled in with crash that sounded throughout the city like a powder explosion, while sparks were sent flying in millions over the house tops of the city as far as the Postotf1ce, a half mile away. Had the flames which menaced the engine and boiler room succeeded in encroa ching further in that direction the shops would have been closed down to-day and their 22OO workmen been without employment,
 The destruction of the two great buildings this morning temporarily en- forced idleneSS upon 300 or 600 skilled mechanics. The departments destroy ed are the car machine shop, which contained all sorts of complicated and valuable machinery pertaining to car construction; the brass finishing and plating rooms, upholstery and sleeping car equipment departments, the plan ing mill and cabinet shop. All other de- partments were running as usual this morning. All the iron work, mill work and the work of making trimmings for cars will temporarily stop. There may also be a temporary lay-off in the foundry, although Superintendent H. J. Small said to-day that he did not believe that more than one-fourth of the entire shop force would suffer by the fire, which would mean about 800 men.
 MT. Small estimates the loss at S20000O, on which there is no insurance. The fire broke out in the upholstery de- partment at about 1:15 a. m. A watch man had made his rounds therein, as his register indicated, at 1:10, and saw no indication of a fire then. Five minutes afterward, while in an adjoin- ing shop, he discovered the blaze,

great deal of interest is manifested in the game, as it Is expected by many that the OIympics will win the match and break the solid caking of defeats which encrusts their colors at present.
 Both teams will be somewhat weak ened on account of the bruises and stiff ness of muscles due to the hard game played last Saturday. The Olympics will put in their very best eleven, and Stan ford will appear on the field with the choice of the college. A hard match is anticipated.
 Wells, who was injured in the game on Saturday. will not play to-day. In his place will be Sexton, who has distin- guished himself this season in the guard g position. Some of the Stanford men who were playing In the college team and who did not play Saturday will don the canvas jacket to-day and mix up with the Olympians in genuine battle.
 This will be the last meeting of Stan ford and the Olympics this season. The three games played between these two teams resulted in two victories for the cardinal and one tie.
 The teams will line up as follows:

No information has been given as to the exact tenor of the proposed note, but it is generally understood that 1t would be a request for leniency toward Spain with perhaps an implied threat of intervention.
 That Italy is not disposed to accept this proposition is shown by an in- spired note in an official journal to- day It declares that Spain has little hope of gaining any advantage in re- taining the Philippines. and that the best she will be able to do is to com promise the matter with the United States.
