ish army and traitor to Spain. AT the
| time of the first insurrection he tried TO sell
cut to the Filipinos. and his present inn
rrisonment excites no sympathy among his
own people. while the Spaniards think 1t Is
a mistaken leniency for the Americans to
refrain from shooting him on the luneta, tho
fate dealt out TO better men in the anti
Spanish uprising.
