Aguinaldo's party on May 10 at La Cat,
about 100 miles northeast of Nigan.
The Americans killed or wounded an
officer, supposed to be Aguinaldo,
whose body was removed by his follow
ers. Aguinaldp had 100 men, Maj.
March 1875. The American commander
reached Laboagan, where Aguinaldo
had made his headquarters since March
6, on May Z. Aguinaldo had fled seven
hours before, leaving all the beaten
trails and travelling through the forest
along the beds of streams. Toward
evening, May 10, Maj. March struck
Aguinaldo's outpost about n mile out
side of La Cat, killing four Filipinos
and capturing two. From the latter he
learned that Aguinaldo had camped
there for the night. Although CeX-
haustcd and half starved. Maj. March's
men entered La Cat on the run. They
saw the insurgents scattering into the
bushes or over the plateau.
\ thousand yards beyond the town,
on the mountain side, the figures of 25
Filipinos, dressed in white. with their
leader on gray horse, were silhouet-
ted against the sunset. The Amer
icdns fired volley and saw the officer

cans, on reaching the spot, caught the
horse. which was richly saddled. Blood
from a badly wounded man was on the
animal and on the ground. The saddle
bags contained Aguinaldo's diary and
some private papers, including procla-
nations. One of these was addressed:
ITO the civilized nations 1t protest
ed against the American occupation of
The philippines. There was also found
copies of Senator Beveridge's speech.

The death knell of the Filipino peo-
pie
The officer shot was either Aguinaldo
or his adjutant, and as the horse was
richly caparisoned it is a fair presump-
tion that il was Aguinaldo.
