The Sonora would not tell where her
husband was, although she said she had
news from. him and that he would soon
be down upon the Americans with a
large army.
You do not know his spirit" she said,
'or you would not try to conquer him."
The Sonora admitted that she had been
very well treated by the Americans and
added that Emilio would treat the Ameri-
cans just as well when he took Manila.

Flying to a cabinet she took small,

sprinEed few drops on her lips and
threw herself on the bed.
She heard him coming up the stairs, not
quickly, according to his wont. On the
landing he paused to turn the handle OF
the boudoir door for a moment, and then,
laughing harshly, continued his ascent.

He bent and kissed her. catching the
odor of the laudanum, and signing again.
Her skirts were a trifie disarranged, ow-

ranged them in orderly folds over the lit

triclIle on her brow a moment later. In
spite of her will a blush stole across her
cheek, but he did not see, for he turned
away at the instant, muttering, Mon

in God.
Knowing from his retreating steps that
he was going to the writing table she
opened an eye and watched him out OF
the corner, wondering what he would do,
for she felt sure his artistic instincts
would not allow him to think OF the
stomach pump.
He had lit match, and, standing with
his back to her still, was burning the

in the city to instruction or act as an
Intermediary between them and Aguin-
aldo. The soldiers are also necessary for
her protection, many of the natives
are bitterly incensed against Aguinaido.
She receives large amount of liberty,
and the guards are scrupulously careful
not to intrude upon the privacy of her
domestic arrangements.
WHERE SHE IS LIVING.
1t was toward the close of a fiercely
hot afternoon last week that made a
call upon the Sonora Aguinaldo. The
house she is occupying Is No. II, Gale.

and in the most aristocratic part of It
No Americans, Spaniards or any other
Europeans live there. It is the most in
teresting quarter OF Manila. To pass
through 1t, however, is not without dan
ger for Americans. The houses of the
better class, such as that occupied by
Sonora Aguinaldo, are rough and plain
on the outside, but within they are
charming and show much artistic origi-
nality.
When my quelis or two-wheeled trap

the commanding officer, but in accordance
with the standing orders the soldiers had
first to ask the Sonora Aguinaldo IL she
would see me. The authorities will not
allow, her to be annoyed by mere curios-

The Sonora Aguinaldo was willing to
receive me. 1 had the goo1 fortune to
find her in the garden with her child, en-
joying the brief moments between the
heat Of the tropic day and darkness. She
was sitting in the shade of Nipa palm
AT first sight the Sonora Aguinaldo is
a disappointment. She does not make a
good photograph. Sorrow and suffering
have left indelible marks upon her fea-
lures, but in spite of these she is quite
fat. Her eyes, however, are her best
feature, and more than make UP for
other deficiencies. They are large, dark,
brilliant and full of feeling. She is prob
ably thirtY-five years old, and, consider
ing her trials, she Is quite we'll

husband. Altogether she is a typical

This is the conventional dress Of the FIJI

Mia.
A great diamond brooch fastened her
pamela, her fingers were loaded with
rings, and she had Jewels in plenty.
THE YOUNG SON.
The little Miguel Aguinaldo, only son
OF the Filipino leader. is altogether
charming. Six years old, bright-eyed,
merry as a cricket, he ought to grow up
to be useful citizen of the Greater
United States. His mother showed the
profoundest affection for him, and they
made pleasant picture together.
With the Sonora Aguinaido were the

Senoritas Sityar, who surrendered with
distinguished member of AguinaIdo's
star, who is now putting his best foot
forward a. few yards ahead OF the Amer
lean forces. These young women are
ideal types of Filipino beauty Their eyes
are gems of loneliness.
Conversation with the Sonora Aguinal-

which she seeks to communicate with
Americans is mixture of English, Span
