your weapons and odium: Understand
well, against the Spaniards and never
against the Americans. Rather die than
be ungrateful to our American >liberators
There where you see the Amer
lean flag flying, assemble in numbers;
they are our redeemers."
Dewey believed, as he had right to be-
lieve and as they represented to him, that
they desired to return for the sole pur-
pose of aiding in expelling the Spaniards,
and not to assume a hostile attitude to
our country. And SO believing, he gen.
erously gave his permission, and fur
nished transportation, for their return
and supplied them with arms and equip
ments and otherwise aided them in or
ganizing the insurgent forces.
On the 10Th of May Aguinaldo and sew
enteen of his chiefs returned from Hong
kong to Manila in the McCulloch.
There was then no semblance of Fill
Pine government or Filipino army. Dewey
had destroyed the Spanish fleet, captured
the town and arsenal of Cavite, controlled
the entire harbor of Manila and had the
city, though occupied by Spanish troops,
at his mercy.
But for these facts Aguinsldo and
his followers could not have re-
turned.
At first, the insurgents, remembering
the former mercenary abandonment Of
their cause, were reluctant to rally
around Aguinaldo, and he became dis
couraged, and contemplated returning to
China. But soon, owing to the presence
and encouragement of the United States
forces, matters took a more favorable
turn, and the insurgents began to rally
around him, and he succeeded in raising
an army estimated at from 10000 to 49,
600. Dewey supplied him with consider
able arms and equipments from the ar
senal at Cavite, and he purchased some
1000 stands Of arms before he left Hong
kong. With these arms tlfls obtained
end with Bolos, he equipped his forces
and at once assumed the role and set him
self up as military dictator Most of
the Spanish troops were stationed in Ma
Mia. Small parties of their troops, scan
tily supplied with ammunition and pro-
visions, were stationed at various interior
points. These troops, owing to the pres

ence of Deweys fleet, could neither Sc
cure ammunition, supplies nor relief, and
as a consequence were easily captured
by the insurgents. Aguinaldo boosted of
his battles with and capture of these diff
ferent Spanish detachments that were
forced to surrender because their ammu-
milton gave out. Owing to Dewey's VIC
tory the Spaniards were helpless, and
Aguinaldo easily overrun and took pos
session of the provinces adjacent to Ma
Mia. Dewey reports at this fine as fol-
lows:
"This squadron can reduce the de-
lenses of Manila at any nome nt, but
it is considered useless until the ar
rival of sufficient United States
forces to retain pOssessiOn."
With the front and TANKS of Manila
dominated by Dewey's feet and all hope
of relief from Spain cut off, Aguinaldo
proceeded to invest the city with the in
surgent forces on the land side. He fan
cied he could capture the city without
the aid of our troops, and was anxious
to capture and loot it before the arrival
of the United States forces, but found
himself unequal to the task. In the
meantime he assumed the role of military
dictator, and established by various de-
crees and proclamations a so-called gov
eminent of a purely military dictatorial
and personal character, in apparent hos
tility to Spain and evidently oblivious Of
the rights and status of our government.
He was quite willing to have the CO.
operation of our naval forces but looked
with disfavor upon the landing of our
troops, fearing that they would debar
him from the sack and pillage of Manila.
On June 80, the first expedition under
Gen. Anderson arrived at Manila, and on
the 18th of July the second expedition,
under Gen. Greene, landed. On the 9th
of July Gen. Anderson reports about
Aguinaldo:
when we first landed he seemed very
suspicious and not at all friendly. .
But he has declared himself dictator and
president, and is trying to take Manila
without our assistance This is not prob
able, but if he can effect his purpose he
will, I apprehend, antagonize any attempt
on our part to establish a provisional gov
eminent"
1t appears that at the time Of the ar
rival of the second expedition Aguinaldo
had forbidden the natives to furnish sup
plies or transportation facilities to ouI
forces except upon mis- order, and on this
account our forces found it very difficult
to procure animals and carts. The ma
tives had gone so far as to remove the
wheels from their carts and hide them
It was only after Gen. Anderson had in

formed Aguinaldo that if he could not
purchase the supplies needed at a fair
price he would be compelled to take them
by force, If necessary, that the latter re-
moved the embargo.
AS early as July IS Gen. Anderson re-
ports:
IT suspect also that Aguinaldo is Sc
cretly negotiating with the Spanish au-
thorities, as his confidential aide is in
Manila"
We now know that this suspicion was
well founded, for in Aguinaldos letter to
Gen. Rios, commander at Iloilo, to which
I shall hereafter refer he admits that as
early as June 9-twenty-one days after
his arrival at Manila.-he was negotiating
with Gen. Augustin, the Spanish COM
mander-in-chief, for the purpose of COM
bining with him against our forces
He was even then ready to enter
into an alliance with his old tim e
enemy against the United States, the
deliverers of his people.
In his letter to Gen. Anderson of July "a
Aguinaldo writes:
IT consider it my duty to advise you
of the undesirability of disembarking
North American troops in the places con-
Quered by the Filipino from the Spanish
without previous notice to this govern
ment (meaning himself) -. take
the liberty of indicating to your excel
lency the necessity that, before disem-
barking, you should communicate in
writing to this government (meaning him
self the places that are to be occupied
and also the object of the occupation. %
What an attitude was this to assume
toward our forces whose presence in
Manila bay had made it possible for Agui-
naldo to return and gain a footing in
the country, which for money cnsider-
alton he had formerly abandoned
On me 18th day of July Gen. Merritt
arrived to assume the chief command.
On the 30th day of July the third expe-
dition, under Gen Macarthur, reached
Manila bay, and immediate steps were
taken to capture the city by our forces.
At this time the insurgents, estimated at
1900, were occupying line of intrench-
ments around the city on the land side,
and had kept up, from time to time, a

ENGLAND NOT ALARMED
At the Competition With America in
 Shipping

London, February 4.-At the twenty third annual meeting of the Chamber of Shipping of the United Kingdom, today, the new president W. J. Pirrie. of Belfast, in the course of his address, said he did not think the British have much cause for alarm at the competition of the United States and Germany. At the same time, he added, if an American shipping sub sldy bill is passed it would seriously hand.- cap English shtp owners. MT. Pirrie also said he was greatly impressed by his visit to the United States and Canada, particu- larly referring to '.Lle progressive spirit animatng the harbor authorities of New York, Boston and oGner ports, In meeting the requirements of sh.p owners. While the speaker opposed subsidizing particular companies as proposed by the American Dill, he thought Great Britain could ad- vantageousiy take leaf out of lLle book Of our Amer.can cousins in their appropria- ton of money for the development of such narbors as New York, Boston and New Orleans on the principle that the extension of their trade benefited the whole country,'

MAN AND WIFE
See Changes as They Change.

To sweeten sour human nature, one of the best methods is to leave off coffee if 1t gives you dyspepsia or makes you nervous.
 'I asked husband this morning to write out a testimonial for thr Postum Cereal Co., and from it quote, I am pleased to be able to state that my wife has been cured of sick headaches and general cus- sedness' by leaving off coffee and using your Postum Food Coffee. My home is now a happy one.'
 .T am forced to admit his joke contains more than a modicum of truth, for l find now have complete control of my nerves, while formerly I was often irritable, ana husband himself has been entirely cured of insomnia by leaving off coffee and taking up Postum. He sleeps now like a baby, from the time he goes to bed, until morn- ing, and perhaps his improvement is partly a reason for his seeing such an improve ment in me. At any rate, our old sickness and troubles have disappeared.
 "I had tried everything for my sick head aches but as long as I stuck to the coffee, the headaches stuck to me. It took us little while to learn that We must follow the directions in making Postum. in order to obtain a really paatable, delicious bey- craze. People must get over the idea that they can make it in any kind of sipshod way and have it good. The great element in making good Postum is to allow it plenty of time to boil. That is certainly simple enough, and when the cook becomes customed to making Postum, one can de- pend upon regular quality every morn ing.
 "I know people who seem to be able to drink coffee, with no bad effects; and on the other hand, know that probably one half of all my friends are more or less un-
 pleasantly affected with coffee, when they persist in using 1t, but Postum has obtained a strong hold since its qualities have be- come known, and great many of our friends are steady users of Postum in place of the orlinary coffee, and you may be | sure every family that has used Postum for | even one month will be ready to testify | to the improvement in health.
 "If you should publish this letter, please | suppress my name, as l have horror of | undue notoriety. If any one will take the | trouble to write you for my name and ad- l dress, I will cheerfully answer any ques- | tions that may be asked, and furnish sat- | isfactory evidence to substantiate my state- ments. Respectfully Mrs -. Hyde | Park, London, Can.
