CANNOT BE DISLODGED.

Filipinos Claim Aguinaldo Can Hold All
but Manila.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-The president of
the European Filipino junta, in an in
terview, said:
1.-The Filipinos will now have to re-
tire to the mountains of San Maleo and
Boso-Boso, which, as they are only an
hours distance, command the capital
and it will be impossible to dislodge
them from there.
1.-The whole Filipino strength will
now be devoted to the protection of the
country outside of Manila, as Aguinaldo
is aware that even if he captured the
city he could not hold it with American
warships in the bay.
1.-THE Americans will have to depend
for their food supply on shipments
from abroad, as the insurgents will eff
fectually cut off the supplies from the
interior"

immune and there IL no fear In his b5-
ysar.old but still youthful heart. As soon
~ the yellow fever dies out. he will leave
for the Philippines to be good samari-
tan for the American soldier boys over
there.
The doctor has had checkered career.
In 1861, he tried TO enlist under the
banner OF jeff. Davis and fight 10 tear TO
pieces this union OF the states. He was
only IL years old, and puny for his age
he Is a small, wiry man YETI, and was
rejected. He offered his services In each
OF the succeeding years. and In 1853
his offer WAS accepted. He fought TO the
Gnu Oh tnt war,
Since that time he has been kept quite
busy proving that his devotion to the old
dag was no hollow preten'ion but q gen.
uine reality, and this is the fourth time
that he has offered his services TO Uncle
5am-twice In the Indian wars, then In
the Spanish war and finally. on June ~
last, he volunteered for service In the
Philippines, ~ assistant surgeon. On
June 80 he was accepted. There WAS,
however. more urgent work for him at
the present time In Cuba, and when Or
dered there he went chserfully, though
the trip was in total conflict with his
plans.
