AGU|NALD0'S UNCLE
MADE A GOVERNOR.
Is Head Man in Buacan Province-Delega-
ton in Friars' Interest Protests Against
Him-Many Candidates.

Guiguinto Province Of Bulacan, p. l..
Feb. q, 1886 p. m.-Jose seraplo, an
uncle of Agulnaldo and formerly an in
surgent colonel, has been appointed
governor OF Bulacan province.
There were several candidates lnclud.
ing two army officers, but the United
states commission was unanimously in
favor Of Serapio who surrendered dur
ing Gen. Lawtons progress northward
and who has since been such con-
slant friend Of the United States that
Aguinaldo published an orderdegrading
his uncle.
There We're considerable protests
against Serapio's appointment, chiefly
from delegation which represented
the interests OF the friars. The COM
mission announced that II had investI-
gated the allegations made against Sc
iapio and found them to be untrue.
Capt Green0ugh, NJ the Forty-hrst
regiment, was appointed treasurer, and
Lieut.. Wells. of the Thirty-second regl-
ment, was appointed supervisor The
other officials appointed were natives.
All the appointments practically were
made on Gen. Grants recommended
tons.
Although by reputation Bulacan is
not the easiest province TO govern, all
the local leaders and most Of the In
habltants are now friendly to the United
States. The question Of the selection
Of a capital for the province was sub

Mr.. Glasmann said that railroads

He could see nothing unfair In holding
a railroad responsible for mans death
