AGGIE HARD AT WORK.
Former Filipino Chieftain ''Spends Hours
Consulting the Dictionary In the Prep
aration OF His Manifesto.

Manila, April 6.-Aguinaldo, COM
posing his manifesto to the Filipino
people, spends hours consulting die
tionary. The manifesto is not yet
finished.
Promising gold discoveries are re-
ported from the island of Masbate
(close to the southern extremity of
Luzon). The collier Brutus has ar
lived here from Guam and reports that
the Filipino prisoners there are in ex-
cellent health. The investigation in
to the commissary scandals is pro-
crossing and those civilians implicated
therein will be soon tried.
Lieut.. Frederick Boyer, of the Thir-
:y-ninth volunteer infantry, chief COM
missary for the second district of the
Department of Southern Luzon, has
arrived at Calamba, province of Lagu-
"a, where he has been charged with
Incorporating so cases of bacon. It

gregates $1S5,OOO.

It is curious, but nevertheless true,
that Aguinaldo, the captive leader, is
unable to speak the Spanish language
with the exception of few words.
This seems rather strange, inasmuch
as many of his followers knew only
Spanish. The rebel chief spoke only
the Tagal language, and when he
wished to know the contents of doc
uments written in Spanish it was nee
essary to secure the services of a
translator. This curious fact was
made known to the secretary of war
IN letter written by ARuinaldo.

DR.. Lyman Beecher Sperry has been
lecturing in Kansas City on ''Seven
Devils Who Help to Shorten Human
Life" Among the seven are war and
narcotics. DR.. Sperry said that it
would be possible for a man to live
from 125 to ITS years if these devils
were exercised from human affairs"
Well, he can exercise them from his

cotics or go to war or have anything

he live to prove his theory? A dem
onstration is what is needed.
