whom it was approved.

among other things, some writing pa
Pr which already bore his heaIquar-

were written to Aguinaldo over the
carefully forged signature of Lacuua.
one of these letters was dated Feb.
"A, 1901, at Bulao. in the mountains

the insurgent chiefs in th,i correspon-
dencc and gave a glowing account Ut

standpoint of Lacuna.
Another letter supposedly from the
same place but dated Feb. 2S was pre-
pared. stating that the writer had just
received q communication from Bal
dOmOro Aguinaldo. ordering him to
send one OF his best companies under
reliable chief to Emilio Aguinaldu in
isabella.
IN accordance with the orders he
was sending this force under Lieut..
Col. Hilario Pacido. The latter. he
stated had been captured by the Amer
leans a year ago. and after his release
had lived in Jaen, hut recently had
taken to the field again when ordered
to do 50 by Lacuna. This was included
| in the letter for fear that AguinaldO
might have heard that Placido had
been captured by the Americans and
had taken the oath of allegiance. The
| letter also stated that Aguinaldo' S
coul Ter. Cerilio Sigismundo. was with
LaCuna and would accompany the col
umn.
These two letters We're dictated by
me but were written by Segovia. We
were in possession Of a number of sam
pies of Lacuna's signature and had
previously succeeded in executing a
very neat forgery of his autograph at
the end of each one Of the two sheets.

he+ita;ingly say that my belief. which

Independence to eventually show her
stern t" anything affuat has been
strengthened by everything she has

judged her hastily admit their error
II DO not want to make excuses for

the boat to touch on one vital point.
Her trip around cape Cod almost
wrecked her. The conditions Were.
such that she received a pounding sci
dom encountered by racer and she
| went into the Newport races leaking
very badly. Throughout her two first
races. she carried tons of water.
Tachtsmen know the significance of
! this. After her second race | had the
Dreamer's pump rugged below deck
ana during the last two races she was
only kept free by pumping her at short
intervals.

strong as ever. | will endeavor to ar
| range as many races as possible for
her for the balance of the season. and
if | am successful. | vii Immediately
have her put in good shape at New

more trips around the cape. Perhaps
can best sum up my feelings in re-
gard to the first series of races which
the Independence has had by saying:
