Are The FilipinOs
Taking A Fresh Start

In spite of the news that has been
sent out from Manila for months
past to the effect that the war is
practically over, the insurgents ere
laying down their arms, g., their
seems to be quite a good deal still
left to do there.
But the most remarkable thing is
the resurrection of Aguinaldo. The
insurgent leader disappeared about
the middle of December last and has
not been seen or heard of since by
friend or foe until a few days agd.
Even his wife, nOw living in Manila,
believed he was dead and went into
morning for him.
ALI sorts of rumors were current
as to what had happened to hlm. 1t
was reported that he bad been muir
dered by the IgOrrOccOs, a savage
tribe with whom he had taken refuge.
Again, it was said that he was in
the Island of Julu, trying to win
over to his side the Sultan ofthat
semi'barbarons island, or rather
group of islands. And recently
press dispatches we're sent out saying
that he was believed to be in hiding
IN Manila itself.
1t does not yet appear to be clear
where he hss been, hut there seems
to be no doubt as to where be is.
Recent cable dispatches report him
as recruiting his forces in Northern
Luzon and melting and urging the
people by every means in his power
to continue the aCar. He also boasts
of having large sums of money
abroad which is to be used in the
purchase of war material for the
Tagal troops.

This Northern Luzon country is
exceedingly difficult for campaig

rainy season, it is almost impractic-
able. That the situation is serions
is apparel from the fact that General
Young has been compelled to appeal
to General Mac Arthur for reinforc-
ements.
In spite of all obstacles and dilfic,
ulties, however, General Young will
push on and will not rest until be
