John Barrett, Minister to Siam,
who met Aguinaldo when he was
exiled from the Philippines by Spain,
and who was well acquainted with
him previous to the present insurrec-

lis unquestionably a natural leader,
possessed of remarkable executive
capacity, Of considerable magnetism
and of intense personal ambition.
He is, in short, an up-to-date politi-

The United States Liable.

cit is apparent, from reading. of said
section 9S9, Revised Statutes, that when a
certificate of probable cause has been is
sued, that the United States becomes liable
for and agrees to pay the amount so re-
covered against the collector. The interest
and costs included in the Judgment Is a
part of the amount so recovered. Hence
the United States has agreed to pay the in
terest and costs included in the judgment.
IF there is an available appropriation
out of which to pay this judgment, the
auditor should have certified it for pay
ment, and not certified it as legal claim
to be paid when Congress shall have made
an appropriation providing for it's payment.
Before advertirg to the question Of the
availability of any existing appropriation
to pay this Judgment, I cannot overlook
the action of the auditor in directing that
when a warrant issues I'm pursuance Of an
appropriation by Congress to pay this iudg-
ment, that IT issue in the name of George
r. Bidwell, who Is the judgment defend
ant. Why the auditor should seek to antic-
ipate the action Of Congress In this par
tfcular, or why in any case warrant with
which a judgment is to be lfquidated and
paid should be issued In the name Of the
Judgment defendant and put In his pos
session instead Of the Judgment plaintin Is
beyond my comprehension. To say the
least, this is an innovation. novel in it's
conception and not very well calculated to
secure payment to Judgment creditor.
