REID SUING HIS

she left her property in a way that did

died left his property To trustees. These

she and Mr., Reid could deal with the
property only as trustees. The court
let the testimony go la.
Mr.. Reid said when he asked Mrs
Reid for the money ne had expended
on her account he always claimed she
had no money. lie said that for time
he boarded with his step mother. then
he always gave her credit on his books
for the board. but that afterwards he
only roomed In her home. ON cross
examination Mr.. Reds account was
sharply gone over by Mr.. Angel who
seemed disposed 10 doubt many OF the
items. Mr.. Reid told Mr. Angel that
while he was managing the affairs of
the estate ne had besides his share OF
the rents $500 i'm bank. He thought he
had asked Mrs. Reid about five times To

for the defendant. He testified he drew

the power in the will a mortgage OF
$3.50 was placed on the property for the
benefit OF Mrs. Reid, as she mad become

ARROGANCE OF AGUINALDo.

Success, be it real or apparent, has
turned the head of Aguinaldo. Less
than year ago that adventurer left
Hong Kong for the Philippines
humbly seeking the influence and
material aid of the American forces
then on thelI way to destroy the feet
of Admiral Montojo in Manila bay.
His soldiers lacked arms and ammuni
tion, their food supply was short and
it was question of defeat or insur-
rection if a change was not effected
in few weeks. He was supplied
with arms from the arsenals captured
by Dewey, given ammunition and
Immediately set about to harness the
enemy in the rear. After the fall of
the city Aguinaldo became belder,
but still had a wholesome fear of the
proves of American arms, for he
kept his insurgent soldiers out of the
city proper and saw to 1t that no ex-
cesses were committed.
The situation has changed in
Aguinaldo's favor. Iloilo, the
second city of the Philippines, has
surrendered to the insurgents and
they are in possession of munitions
of war, money and provisions for the
army. Aguinaldo is promised the
support of the influential natives of
the island and begins to believe he
is the dictator he long ago proclaimed.
He has the effrontery to flood Manila
with printed manifestos protesting
against the governorship of General
Otis.
1t is held by certain anti-expan-
sIonIsts that the Filipinos would
eventually have conquered the islands
and earned their own independence.
This idea is absurd. Had Dewey
failed to overcome the Spanish feet
in Asiatic waters the Spanish land
forces in the Philippines would now
be much stronger than they were at
the beginning of the war. Every
able-bodied soldier in Spain would
have been rushed to those islands to
hold the last possessions of the Dons
and the fate of the insurrection prob.
ably would have been settled in a way
not to the profit or comfort of Aguin.
