AGUINALDO'S RIVAL
Does Some TsIkIne-Ssys Otis Missed
His Opportunity.


recently among other Filipinos who
had escaped from Aguinaldo, there
was that in his face that reminded
one of hunted animal. There
was a fugitive glance in his eye
that was in strange contrast to the
face now wreathed in smiles, for
Artachio is happy man.
Poor Artachio! / almost feel as
if | had met a long lost brother
when | searched him out in the up
stairs of a tiny sasteria of one
Senor Cassimir. a Spaniard.
All" he exclaimed, Il am very
glad to be in Manila They treated
me very badly. Many times they
tried to stab me, but | am free at
last and glad of it.
Aguinaldo would have had me
shot if he dared, but | was too we'll
known for him to do that openly.
They dragged me around from
one convent prison to another, and
put over me two lieutenants and
FIVE soldiers. They fed me little
rice and gave me a penny's worth
of fish every day. Perhaps they
wanted to starve me. They want
ed to take me into the mountains,
where they would thrust a bolo
into me, but my friends among the
insurgents told Aguinaldo that
they could guard me better-they
understood Ilocco's tricks better
so | was saved from starvation and
death.
And now the insurgents army
is all confused and there are many
rebellions among them. Many
commanders are deserting, and in
Cavite it would be dangerous for
Aguinaldo to come. They would
kill him. General Balderme is
forcing them to fight. He and his
generals are very bad men. Oh,
such shamful practices. 1t is ter
rible. They treat the women so.
If they resist The officers take their
revolvers and shoot them and
throw their bodies into rivers. The
officers stop at nothing to eXtort
money, and then they gamble and
drink and make the women dance
for them.
"One day one of the generals
came to me, for they are not all
bad. He said: All, Artachio,
there is some consolation in being
in prison. You are spared wit
Messing the degradation of your
countrymen.
The army is badly disorgan-
lied. There is no communication
with the north now. They are all
huddled together at San Francisco
del Malabon. If you 60 there you
will catch them all-arms, ammu-
milton, powder factory and all the
officers of the southern division
There is not much left OF the revo-
luton. Some day they will kill
Aguinaldo. He is a bad man
He knows only fighting. He will
stop at nothing to gain his ambi-
ton. They say he killed the old
chief, Boni Facio, of the first rev.
olution, who gave him his start
and taught him all he knows.
Then, too. he probably had Luna
assassinated. He wanted to be
first. There must be no one else
to eclipse or rival him. He hated
me because there were men who
would follow me, and because |
wanted to control my share of the
money paid by the Spanish govern
ment.
But | am free now. General
Otis gave me my liberty, and l
would like to serve the American
government any way can. How
did l escape? Well, when the
American troops took Las Pinos |
was at Salinas. All the army was
in confusion. Every one ran, de-
serting the town, when they heard
the American guns. | was In

the front wheel passes over, thus cas-
ing the driving wheel"
1t is said that the first cyclist in Con-
stantinople was Sir Edgar Vincent, the
well known Egyptian financier SIR
Edgar learned to ride in Paris, and took
a bicycle to Constantinople IN 1898,
and through his initiative cycling soon
became popular there.
The fair weather cyclist in France
pawns his bicycle when winter arrives,
and rests easy that it is safe till the
return of spring. Just now we learn
that the Monte de PieHe-Frencn for
''uncle''-has a large stock Of machines
on hand, and will keep them until jan
uary or February arrives. The system
of living in Paris renders resource to
the Monte de Piete well nigh indispen-
sable, for everybody lives in flats, and
the trouble of getting out the pike for
an occasional ride is not regarded as
equivalent to the pleasure derived from
a short spin. Then, in the French
mans abode, there is no accommoca-
ton for the storage Of the bicycle; at
the Monte de Piete there is--hence, its
annual winter stock of bicycles

1t may be interesting to know that
DR.. Pentecost has a cycling club in
connection with his church at Iaryle-
bone, England, and often accompanies
it on it's club runs. II consider" he
states to the interviewer, that ar i'm
mense amount of good would be done
in this country if there were a few
more church cycling clubs about. Cy-
cling is the sworn enemy of the lcafer
and the drunkard, for, of course, a
steady hand and clear brain is abso-
lutely essential in the sport.
In the official returns made by the
French treasury, it transpires that
there are 4OS, S69 cycles taxed in
France These fgures can scarcely be
taken as representing the full strength
Of the army of cyclists in the country,
for it is scarcely too much to say, even
at the risk of being accused of tread
ing on French corns, that good many
riders found way of evadiug the OBJ
noxious tax. The number of cycles in
use is 40S. 1863 to a population Of 3S.-
511 ,975, the average being a.131 per
department. The Department of the
Seine, as might be expected, leads
easily, the bottom Of the table being
the Department of Corse. with a cy-
cling population of 1888

employed by people in all classes and
conditions and in all branches Of
trade; to which statement he might
have added that in the country hun
dreds of wheels are used by school
children for the purpose of going to
and coming from school Those who
own and Use bicycles" continues Mr..
Roll ARE not only many in number,
but they are generally taxpayers and
have rights on the public roads which
their money helps to construct ana
maintain. Heretofore, they have, in a
great measure, been denied their rights.
The question to be considered is, how
can we furnish to wheelmen the con-
veniences of the public road, to which
their standing as citizens and taxpay-
ers entitle them, without too great ex-
pense?"
The question is answered completely
by the bicycle path which is not only
what is needed, but which also is In
expensive. Under the law enacted two
years ago these paths may be con-
structed by the Supervisors, at their
discretion, and in Mr.. Rolls opinion
their construction and maintenance
would make it possible to maintain
the roadways for a far less sum than
at present, and the paths would be a
direct benefit to the roads themselves.
The experiments in Mr.. Rolls dlstrlct
will be watched with deep interest, and
we are confident that they will prove
so successful and take so we'll that
other districts will lose no time IN
following so excellent an example.

ROADS AND PATHS.
Benefits Of the Bicycle Path-Its
value-A Good Road Friend.
(San Jose Mercury

y
The admirable paper read before the
convention of Supervisors at Sacra-
mento by Supervisor Roll of this coun-
ty brought out in a clear light the
great advantages not only for wheel
men, but also for those persons who
drive over the county roads that would
be gained by the construction of bicy-
Gle paths. Not only would such paths
enable wheelmen to ride with comfort
and safety, but their desertien of the
main Travelled highways would leave
those thoroughfares to the exclusive
use of teams, to the great satisfaction
of those who ride in buggies, wagons
or other vehicles. All danger of coll
lision between bicycles and teams
would in this way be avoided, and
neither rider nor driver would be COM
PEELED, as now, to be on the continuous
lookout for Instructions. Also. as
shown by Mr.. Roll, the construction of
bicycle paths would make it much
easier and more economical to keep the
roads in good repair.
These are considerations worth
noting. Mr.. Roll has begun the con-
struction of paths in his district, and
the Mercury" predicts that upon COM
pletion they will at once spring into
popularity and that demand will be
made for their extension along all the
chief highways in the county. Sacra-
mento is far ahead of Santa Clara
County in this respect. and the utility
of the paths has been amply demon
strated there. So general has become
the use of the wheel, not merely for
recreation but as time-saver for oil
classes of citizens, that the rights Of
the wheel can no longer with justice
be ignored. Mr.. Roll calls attention
to the fact that in this county alone
there are in use for business purposes
more than 1900 bicycles which are

"A skillful rider will be able to take

would smash a heavy machine. 1t is

pressing heavily on the pedals and
throwing the weight forward just as
