it is not intrinsically improbable.

cure the overthrow OF the insunection and
capture Aguinaldo, Palermo and other
leaders. In the course OF the communica-
ton he refers to Aguinaldo in contemptu-
GUS terms, indicating that strained rela-
tons exist between them.

that Pillar has an audacious plan to break

and seize General Otis and the archbishop.
Possibly these rumors were stated with
