The truth about AGuinaldo lies probably
somewhere between Mildman's estimate
of him and that which is popular with
the expansionists Just now. Probably his
love for Aguinaldo is very much superior
to his love for his people. He sold out the
latter once for consideration and perhaps
would be ready to do so again. he Is
