Many stories are told ofAgumaldo's

may be legendary, they show that by
his friends he is thought capable OF
doing most any act Of daring. We

Son Of u rich native merchant he
was intended for the church. But
while in Madrid he found tina, theol
ogy presented little attraction, and
wont to Paris, where he studied med
icine. Having returned to his native
country he entered the militia. The
Spaniards did not allow the native to
rise above the rank OF captain aud
Agufnaldo bitterly resented this. lie
determined to prove that he was Ill
no wise inferior to tho foreigners Who
ruled the country. and when tho rev.
olution broke out he found himself
at the head Of an army Of 5000 men,
whom he led with no little skill.
Many OF his men today are veterans,
well drilled and disciplined.
A prize OF $3.50 was offered for
his head once during the first re
benion. When he heard OF this he
wrote q note to the governor. which
ran M follows: Il sm very short OF
funds to carry on the campaign, 80 l
will present my head in person and
collect the reward" He actually did
in the guise Of q monk, penetrate to
the private Office OF he governor.

cash he had on land.
