ASSASSINATION OF
AeUlNALDO RuMORED
Report Current in Manila That
General Pic del Pillar Killed
the Rebel Chief.
IT IS NOT CREDITED, HOWEVER
indications Are That Agulnaldo Is
With Troops Near San Fcr-
nando---Opcning of
Closed Ports.

Manila, June 90 n. m.--Major
General Otis has ordered the opening
to trade of many important ports that
have been closed since the outbreak.
These are San Fernando, on the west
coast of Luzon; APART, ON the north
coast; Curimoa, and all ports in the
islands of Samara and Leyte. Many
ships used in inter-island commerce
have been tied up in the harbor here
for months, and the shippers and mer-
chants have been urging the govern
ment to raise the blockade.
There will be great boom in the
hemp business, which has been at a
standsttll. The ships will race to bring
the first cargoes before the demand
weakens. There is heavy export
duty on hemp, and this will greatly
increase the revenues. The interests
of the natives, as we'll as the mer-
chants and traders generally, led
General Otis to take this action. Dele
cations from the southern islands told
him that the cessation of business
was bringing much suffering to
peaceful inhabitants.
Gnnboats will protect the shipping
in some ports, but elsewhere shippers
must risk confiscation by the insur-
gents, who exact heavy tribute of all
ships they permit to sail
The rumor that Aguinaldo had been
assassinated was in circulation herd
Tor several days. 1t was not believed,
but Its currency gave it a definite form.
According to the story, General Pho
del Pillar called upon Aguinaldo June
10 and accused him of causing General
Luna to be killed. Aguinaldo denied
the responsibility. and added that lie
deeply regretted Luna's death. Cen
eral Pho Pillar, as the story goes, called
him n liar and scoundrel, shot him
twice in the head with his revolver and
walked away unmolested. The report
finds no credence In Manila. a Fill
pino general mounted on big horse,
with numerous staff, has been ha-
rangning the Filipino troops around
San Fernando, in Pampanga province,
and this officer is supposed to be
Aguinaldo.
Yesterday four guns of Hobbs bat
terry and other artillery bombarded the
Filipino blockhonses and trenches,
about two miles north of San Fernan-
do. The blockhouses, which had been
used by Filipino sharpshooters to an
noy the American outposts, We're de-
stroyed. The enemy made no resist

would entertain no sentiments but

necessity of money for your daily hap
piness, then the next thing to learn is
how to get it. The rule for doing this
is short one-spend less than you
earn. Yes" says a young man,
father has told me that a hundred
times Is that so? Then you have a
very sensible father. Realize, if you
can, just what your father has been
telling you, and begin now to put his
advice in practice. He has had years
of experience, and knows the value of a
dollar, and, loving you, he does not
want you to ever have time in your
life when you will be penniless, and so
he is trying to impress this valuable
lesson upon you in order that you may
escape the unhappiness which comes
with poverty. Spend less than you
earn would make good eleventh COM
mandment.
Are you storing up these points, my
boy? First, an appreciation of money;
get money. Now the third lesson to
learn is how to use it. A simple rule:
Spend it wisely; that is, think before
you spend it, and when you spend it
see that you get what you pay for
Spending money wisely must, of ne
cessity, have its own Interpretation
with every person. 1t may mean with
one to buy loaf OF bread, with another
to buy gold ring To use ten dollars
for a luxury may be an unwise thing
for one person TO do. while with an
other 1t may be very sensible thing 10
do. All depends upon the amount of
money that one has. 1t is wise 10
think before spending money. Asso-
ciate the spending Of it with the earn
ing Of it. If you are earning twenty
cents an hour and want to buy some
thing that costs q dollar, ask yourself

if the thing is worth five hours of labor
to you.
See that you get what you pay for
You have right to your moneys
worth, and you should no more allow a
person to give you less than you pay
for than you would think of paying for
less than you get.
FOR MENTAL DIGESTION.
Let me close this weeks letter with
some statements which / hope you will
not forget. You must I've, and in order
to live you must have money. Money
can come through several channels. It
may be stolen, found, begged, borrowed.
inherited or earned. Steal it and you
become criminal; to find it you are
not likely; beg it, and you lose your
manhood; borrow it, and you become
slave; inherit it, you may, but most
people have to earn it. Face the situa-
ton, and if you can have it only by
earning it go resolutely to work. Stern
fact, but true one, that people have
very little use for you when you do not
have a dollar, for they do not care to
support you. Poverty is one of the Sc
verest tests of friendship. The last cent
is the lifted latch on the gate OF de-
spair. Misery begins where money
ends. Want viii transform a saint
into sinner. Gather to yourself hap
piness by learning the value of dollar,
by spending less than you earn in order
to get the dollar, and having gotten 1t
think before you spend it. and having
spent it see that you get what you have
paid for. Follow this advice and you
will never have cause to regret 1t.

New York, May 21.-I have never
been able to understand why it is that
some people speak SO carelessly about
money, as if they lacked proper APP
probation of its necessity for their well
fare. People who from day to day
must have. those things which cannot
be had without money seem to take a
peculiar delight in impressing others

he root of all evil.

Well, no doubt the determination 70
nave money at any cost has been The
root of considerable evil, and no doubt
that money in the hands of some peo-
pie has been used so unwiselv as n
make against the moral progress of
these people, but let it be burned into
the mind of every young person who
reads this letter that the blessings aris-
ing from the possession of money far
outnumber the evils that arise from
having it. Some people talk a great
deal about the blessings of poverty, I'M
I'll 1t would seem as if it were a desir-
able condition to be in. Write the
blessings of poverty small, very small.
then write the curses of poverty in let
teHs large enough to be seen as far as
the human eyes can reach, for the
curses of poverty out-number by ten
thousand-fold any blessings which
arise from it. Poverty is want, beg
gary, wretchedness, bitterness, despair.
shame, slavery and often the cause of
crime. If these things have any bless
lngs wrapped up in them, then let
every young person earnestly seek az
ter poverty, but if they do not strike
you as being at all desirable then take
commonsense view, and lay a founda-
ton for the accumulation of money and
90 not waste any time in listening to
this foolish talk about the blessings of
poverty.
MAKE A SENSIBLE CHOICE.
Would you own the house you live

blessings which money brings? "Rath-

your good sense.
A GOOD FRIEND TO HAVE.
ASu Tie HFot tuluS LOT you 10 learn
along these lines is to have a proper
appreciation of the value of money.
Never speak lightly of it, as if you had

1t as good friend, for you will find it
to be very helpful friend to you on
many occasions in life. You see some
young men who endeavor in the way
they handle their money to give out an
impression that they care very little for
IT. They crush Il into a wad and take
this wad from their pockets as if it
were bunch of rags Do not initiate

handle money as they handle anything
else which represents value. in a way
which shows that they understand the
worth of it.
