SHE SAVED CITY OF MANILA,
Heroic Conduct of Aguinaldo's
Wife Long Kept Secret.
sacre Was First Planned-Surprised
at Kindly Treatment by Ameri-
cans, She Risked Her Life to
Do Them Great Service.

Manila would have been captured and
burned and the Inhabitants massacred
If it had not been for the bravery OF one
woman the wife of Auguinaldo, says a
dispatch to the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
There was a well-planncd scheme year
lago last May for a general uprising OF the
natives in Manila. The plan was to set
fires in various parts of the suburbs. a
series of fires which would divert the at
tention of the guards, and while they
were busy extnguishing these fires in out
lying sections the insurrectos were to
storm the city. orders had been given for
a wholesale massacre of men, women ana
children.
All this was prevented by the loyalty
and devotion of Mrs. Auginaldo, who at
the risk of her life betrayed the plans to
the officer in the city.
Mrs. Aguinaldo had some time previous
~ been taken prisoner and much to her
surprise was very kindly treated. Posi-
bly, it was kinder treatment than she ha'
ever received before In her life. The time
came when she could repay II thousand
fold. and she did it, though discovery
meant death to her. The plot naturally
was discussed in her presence, and she
/ gave full information to the army oiii-
GERS, thus preventing the most horrible
massacre of modern times.
| The facts have been we'll known in
army circles, but have been kept sacred
~ secret on account of the danger to Mrs
Agunaldo in case the insurrectos discov-
cred them
These facts have not been published be-
fore in any paper or history, and were
made public for the first time by Miss l.,
NJ. owen. n member of the American
Scientific association, who was In Manila
at the time.
Miss owen was the guest of an officers
wife, Mrs koehler, niece Of Miss Susan
y. Anthony. and both ladies were in tho
city during the entire time of the danger
Miss owen said:
1T was like living over II volcano. w
knew our servants were involved, and that
we could trust no native. Time after time
was set for the massacre, but after thf
officers were once on their guard the dan
ger was not so great. ! think We ladies did
not realize how much danger We're in
for the officers were so calm about 1t all
II is not generally known that the wife oil
AEuinaldo was the one who saved us the
first attack on her account it has beer
kept very quiet.
The insurrectos had planned to massa
ere every one, including women and chill
dren. 1t was intended. however to keel
some of the women prisoners, as The ma
tiVesbolieve the Americans would agree Il
any terms which the insurrectos might make
in order to release them. This first infor
nation was verified a day or two later by
a Spanish lady, who overheard her ser
wants discussing the plans. She imme

Spanish in the city realize that the ma
tiVes must be controlled by some civilized
nation, and If the Americans were t.
leave it would be impossible for any for

Factories for the canning Of corn and
other products have been established but a
comparatively short time in Vermont, vet
enough Is already known of the results Of
their operation to Justify the most san
guine predictions of success for this in
1ustry. Indeed In tho light Of present de-
velopments it is surprising that the field
is not rapidly extended, not only as re-
CARDS the multiplication of factories, but
also in relation to the canning of fruit
and various kinds of vegetables
For example. a factory for the canning
Of corn was established in Franklin Coun-
ty some time since and the Messenger
says that operations have been begun with
the expectation that much larger amou I
Of work will be done this year than was
done last season. Seventy-two farmers
planted corn for the company this year,
i25 acres of land being devoted to that
purpose 1t is also stated that $500 cans
have been put UP thus far, and it is es
timated that the total output of this one
factory for the season will be the enor-
nous number of 100000 cans.
1t is worthy of note that it remained
for capital from outside the State to start
this as we'll as so many other industries
now lourishing in Vermont. This canning
factory is owned and operated by r. c.
Payson d Co, of Portland, Me, and they
are Tree to say that they are well pl ased
with the results. Why will Vermont capi
talists send their money out Of thu Safe
to be invested in wild cat schemes or sit
idly by and moan for something to turn
UP in the way of industries when oppor-
tunites of this kind are open on every
hand? Why will rot some capitalists OF
combination Of capitalists erect canning
establishment in Chittenden County, a
project that would be of benefit to tn M
selves as well as to the farmers and in
directly to ali classes that would be rca, h
ed by the money thus put in circulation?
We want canning factories as well rs
other industries, and ii local enterprise
will not provide them then we extend a
hearty welcome to capitalists from other

1t has been evident for some time that
the great desire on the part of the friends
of Schley was to place him In the role OF

to confirm this theory. If the public OF

SILVER ISSUE IN A NEW FORM.
How Country Banks Spite" the Clear
ing House at Uncle Sans Expense.
H'rom the Boston Record)

U'rom the Boston Record)
There are go national banks and trust
companies in New England, and 10 Of
them are now engaged in "spiting' the
other $50
The methods they are employing are
really amusing in spite of the temporary
annoyance they are causing the Boston
clearing house and many local bank
officials term them silly schooboyish
and other terms denoting petuness.
Although the great majority of New
England banks have agreed to pay checks
on each other at face value these 10, all
of them country banNs' and located a
long distance from Boston hold out for
their exchange which is one-tenth of one
pc, or 10c. on 800.
To compel the payment at face value
the Boston clearing house has lately been
sending checks to the country banks by
express Then comes the funny part Of it,.
The country banks pay at face value as
required, but do so by shipping the amount
in silver dollars by express to the Boston
clearing house, and the express charges,
varying according to distance and weight,
have to be paid on this end.
To do this tho country banks go to the
sub-troasurY in Boston lay down so many
silver certificates or treasury notes and
demand that that amount in silver dollars
shall be shipped to them. This is done UNI
der the act of March 3, 1901, which appro-
PIRATES 100000 for the transportation of
silver coin. The secretary of the treas
ury is authorized and directed to transport
from the treasury or Sub-treasuries free
of charge. silver coin when requested to
do so; provided, that an equal amount in
coin or currency shall have been depos-
tied in the treasury or sUb-treasuries by
the applicant or applicants"
In other words. the country banks can
have silver dollars shipped to them for
J. i,,rr l@,,,
them back to Boston the Boston clearing
house has to pay the express charges
AN INSTANCE.
For example a check for $1,000 is sent
by express to a national bank for collec-
ton The bank people promptly pack up
1000 silver wollars and ship them to Bos-
ton by express with charges c. o. ID. The
Boston clearing house has to pay about 81
to tho express company Ma advantage ac-
crues to the bank people by doing this.
They do not get their exchange or save
any money, but the clerks in the Boston
clearing house have to work a little harder
counting the silver dollars. which are
promptly sent back to the suh-treasury
from whence they originally started for
Vermont.
This little plan caused the clearing
house to send $7tI in silver and fraction
al currency back to the suh-treasury one
day, and 1t is predicted that about $50 =
Oo0 will be sent back the next day.
1t is all right for the time being" said
Manager RuGges Of the clearing
house. THE country banks can
keep on sending us silver dollars and small
change but when a few stable checks
are forwarded to them for collection they
NAV not md ii so easy. Il is also a
question whether the government will al

THE STAGE HOLD-UP IN THE ADJ
RONDACkS.

The recent highway robbery Of a mail
stage near North Creek, y. y, still occu-
pics attention in that quarter and govern
ment detectives are assisting the local Of
ncers, in thus far unsuccessful efforts to
capture the lone highwayman. The move
mcnts of the robber says a letter from
Blue Mountain Lake show that he was not
novice. While staying at North Creek
and North River he was quietly gathering
up provisions enough TO sustain him Tor
some time in the forest.
At the supreme moment he played in
hard luck. The eight passengers on the
stage coach were entirely at his mercy
for they feared he was not alone. The
only weapon possessed by the passengers
was small revolver which Mr.. Lessey of
New York had in his coat pocket But
the robber was careful to keep out of the
range of revolver shots. He had shot
down one of the coach teams leaders and
wounded the other in that narrow dark
place, and seemed in a fair way TO reap
a harvest, for the combined purses OF the
travellers would have nettcd him several
thousand dollars. After the leader drop
ped the other three horses turned aside
and cramped the front wheels in man
ner that threatened momentarllN TO over
turn the vehicle As the coach tipped the
men on its top chose the lesser of the two
risks, the danger of being shot by the rob-
her, and jumped to the ground to avoid
being caught in the coach when 1t turned
over. The pole broke, saving the coach
from overturung, and in the moment Of
confusion that followed all saw chance
to make the short distance to the woods
and hide their Naluables.
The rObbCr ordered those left in the
party to turn about and go back in the di-
rect!on whence they came. As they hast
cued down the road he ripped open a grip
belonging to Mr. Lcssey and the mail bag
intended for Blue Mountain Lake. The
registered mail was in Pnothor bag. Be
fore the robber had an opportunity - rifle
the other mai bags and the strong box
of the EXPRESS company the noise of the
cast bound coach and baggage wagon de-
scending the mountain toward him A half
mile distant frightened him away,
Since this robbery tho man was seen
about five miles from the scene ~ Thomas
Alexander of North Creek, who was pick
ing berries between Ncrth Creek and
North River Alexander was plodding
through tho woods and came upon a man
living on the ground With a rife across his
knee. Instantly the man jumped up,
/ What do YOU want?' demanded the
stranger,
I'm picking berries was Alexander
response.
/ Lets see who's With you?"
Alexander explained that his wife and
sister were with him and showed his berry
pail,
The man with the gun seemed satisfied
ana allowed Alexander to 20 under cover
of the rife,
1t has turned out that all the man rot
fcl holding up the coach was SIG, which lac
secured from Mr., Olmstcad.
The robbery has had the effect of in
orCasing travel over the road between
North Creek and Blue Mountain Lake
