Manila, June 2S-The rumor that
Aguinaldo had been assassinated was
in circula ton here for several days.
IT was not believed, but it's currency
gave it a definite form. According to
the story, General Pho del Pillar called
upon Aguinaldo on June 10 and ac-
cused him of causing General Luna 10
be killed. Aguinaldo denied RESPONSE
Dillty and added that he. deeply regret
ted LuEa's death. General Pho del
Pliar, as the story goes. called him a
liar and scoundrel. shot him twice ia
the head with his revolver and walked
away unmolested.
The report finds no credence in Ma
Mia A Filipino general. mounted on
Dig horse, with a numerous staff. has
since been seen haranguing the Fill
pino 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 blockhouses and trenches
about two miles north of San Fernan-
CO. The blockhouse, which had been
used by Filipino sharpshooters TO an
noy the American outposts, was de-
stroyed. The enemy offered no resist
ance.
Yesterday the Spanish consul gen.
tied Major General Otis. He was re-
ceived in the latter's office, which is
hung with portraits of Spanish royal
persOnageS- In the course of a grace
full speech he said the Spaniards in the
Philippines would hold no resentment
because of the past and would enter
tain no sentiments but those of respect
toward the new regime.
Otis Opens the Ports.

opening TO trade of many important
ports which have been closed since the
outbreak These include San Fernan- .
do, on the west. coast of Luzon;s Aparri
on the north coast; CurimOa and all
ports in the islands of Samar and
Leyte.
Many ships used in the interisland
commerce have been tied up in the har-
Dor here for months, and the shippers
and merchants have been urging the
government to raise the blockade
When the decision was made known

house was as animated as the floor Of

There Will be a great boom in the
hemp business, which has been at a
standstill- The ships will race to bring
the first cargo before the demand
weakens. AS there is a heavy export
duty on hemp. this will greatly increase
the revenues. The interests of the ma
tives. as well as the merchant traders
generally. led General Otis to take this
action. Delegations from the south
ern islands told him that the cessation
Of business was bringing much suf-
fering to peaceable inhs bitants.
Gunboats will protect the shipping in
some ports. but elsewhere shippers
must risk confiscatiOn by the insur-
gents. who exact heavy tribute for all
