Under the title "A week in the Philip
pines Z the Courier des Etats-Unis is
publishing series OF letters which were
written in November, 1897, giving de-
tailed description of the island at the time
of the late insurrection against Spanish
rule. Not the least interesting in the Sc
ries is the following sketch from the note
book of the traveller, whose name will
be published when the series is finished !:
''The desire which the Filipinos have
always felt for a leader has brought one
to them in the person of Aguinaldo. Fifty
years ago the ambition of a young school
master like him would not have reached
beyond the grade of captain of banditti.
Under the influence Of European IDEAS
which through the Suez canal have
spread themselves all over Asia, he as
pires to be the founder of a republic. I
fear very much that he will be disap-
pointed. But it would pain me to rail

ington and Bolivar, acquired from their
example sufficient force to discipline his
shame Of the excuses whom stained the
flag of Spain. The bandits whom the
Spanish police had never been able to
lsubdue in the islands claim to owe al
legiance to him. and in this they deceive
nobody. It is known that Aguinaldo fol-
lows the generous example of Menelek
toward his prisoners, and he has a horror
of reorisals. One of his first acts of au-
thor&ty was to sentence a certain Boni-
facio to be shot for pillage and murder.
He preserves carefully the religious be-
.liefs, in the hearts of his Indians,
thoroughly approaching the fact that his
prestige would become lessened by the
diminution of faith. All human author
tty leans upon the supernatural, and that
perhaps is the reason why one man gains
such ascendency over others. The Tagals,
fond of the mysterious, attribute to their
young hero superhuman power. He lives
under their tents, participates in their
labors casts bullets bakes black bread,
and cooks maize. Notwithstanding all
that, in their eyes he wears a halo. II
he should declare that he was invulner-
able his Indians would believe MIN.
Moreover, the reports that are scat
tered around and the orders that are,
transmitted assume legendary form in
this country. Before the insurrection it

Tt has been said that the Spanish con-
quest robbed the enslaved races Of their

the most sensational was in February,

vertical, was aeluged with water and the

were found dead, suffocated in a drift.
Two others were alive, having tapped the
