CAPTAIN l. SANDERS

WHAT HE LEARNED OF THE CAPTURED INSURGENT LEADER
DURING HIS SERVICE WITH THE FIRST MONTANA
VOLUNTEERS.

reasonably we'll educated Filipinos of the
better class. Several of the ladies were
expert musicians and gave us musicale,
after expressing their regrets that Agui-
naldo was not present in person to re-
ceive us. We doubted this very much,
because. from the time the Americans
had first landed he had been a very diff
flcult man to approach, and in all his
interviews had apparently made it
point to listen carefully to every thing
that was said and to say very little him.

poor talker but an excellent listener.
The insurgent leader was educated in
the Manila schools and afterward attend
ed an English college in Hong Kong. At
the time he first attained any promin-
ence he was school teacher. From all
l was able to learn of the man he was
of only ordinary intellectual ability, his
greatest strength lying in his indefinable
magnetism and control over the ignor-
ant classes.
The members of the cabinet were Ma
bini, Chinese mestizo; Palermo, a high
ly educated Filipino, and Sandico. who,
prior to the outbreak of hostilities with
this country, ren@ered great assistance
to General Hughes, commanding the
provost guard. After the outbreak he
developed deep-seated hatred of Amer
icans and at the burning Of the city of

ed to grant any cessation OF hostihties
or even to consider the subject until the

rendered. With tears streaming down
his cheeks, Aguinaldo"s emissary said
that he was confident the cabinet would
not consider such a proposition for al
instant. and returned through the lines
to Aguinaldo's capital, which at the
time was virtually located in the saddle.

ton of General Luna, and. SO far, as my
knowledge goes, has never before been
printed.
General Luna, although at that time
an officer subordinate to Aguinaldo, was
in command of a division of the Filipino
army, and for some time past had shown
a disposition to disregard the orders of
his chief and carry on warfare ACCORDING
to his own IDEAS He was of the Sandico
class, an implacable enemy Of Ameri-
cans. 1t is believed the officer accom-
panying Aguilles had told Luna that
Aguiles had informed Otis the F'iNpinos

Captain Louis P. Sanders. of Company
B, First Montana volunteers. was serv-
ing in the Philippines at the time the
stirring events Of the war occurred. when
Aguinaldo was at the height of his pow
er and influence. At that time Captain
Sanders was near General Otis and had
good opportunity to learn many things
of interest regarding the conduct of the
campaign and the principals of the in
surrectiOn, which have never yet become
public property. His comments and con-
illusions anent the capture of the noted
insurgent will be of especial interest at
this time.
"Aguinaldo was by no means the ajblest
man of the so-called Filipino republic"
said Captain Sanders. but he had per-
sonal magnetism which especially APP
pealed to the masses. or ignorant classes
in the islands. Everybody is doubtless
familiar with the conditions and circum-
stances which led to his prominence prior
to the trouble with the United States.
Personally l never met Aguinaldo,
though 1 had several opportunities of so
doing. About one month prior to the
outbreak, when Aguinaldo's capital was
at Bacoor a town on Manila bay, be-
tween Manila. and Cavite, l visited his
home and met his family and the men,
bers Of his cabinet. Apparently they were

Americans, he summoned Luna to his
headquarters, probably to punish him for
his many breaches of discipline, and
particularly for his treatment Of Agul-
les, but fearing the growing influence Of
Luna concluded that his own supremacy
would best be preserved by putting
Luna out of the way. When General
Luna made his appearance Aguinaldos
guards assassinated him.
IF AguinaldO had been captured and
harmed while he was at the height of
his power 1t would have tended to pro-
long the war,because the ignorant classes
had simply defied him. In my opinion,
however, his capture will have little in
nuence on the present condition existing
IN the islands, for the reason that his
greatest strength lay in his control of
the organized forces in the Philippines
and when the Filipino army was demor-
aized and scattered, more than a year
ago, Aguinaldos influence came to an
end. For about a year, and from the
time Major Logan was killed in the OPP
GRAFTON near Dagupan, there has been
no organized Filipino army. Since that
time the Americans have been engaged
in desultory skirunishes with brigands.
'Brigandage has existed in the islands
from the time that Magellan landed there
and the hostilities between the Ameri-
cans and the Filipinos have encouraged
the brigands to band themselves togeth-
err and wage marauding expeditions, os-
tensibly against the Americans, but as
matter Of fact for pure love of murder
and rapine. This present character Of
! hostilities will continue until the bril-
gand bands are either broken up or ex-
| terminated
Wi tn the personal influence of Aguin-
aldo gone,I do rot believe his capture will
have any particular effect upon hostiil-
ties in the islands. He will probably be
sent to Guam, as a prisoner of war, with
the remainder of his family, and kept
there until SUCH time as it becomes safe
| to release him or future developments
shall determine what disposition is to be
be made of him.
General Funstan performed a great
feat and deserves the highest praise for
accomplishing the capture of a man who
has since February, 1898, when the fight
| ing began, been seen but once or twice by
an American, a man of whom as little
has been known as of any private in this
Filipino army save for the periodic

Manila ordered that the guardia civile,
or native militia, eXterminate not only
all American soldiers. but all foreigners,
including women and children. Mabini
and Sandico are now and were captives
of the Americans in Manila while Agui-
naldo was eluding their most strenuous
endeavors to make him prisoner. Since
his narrow escape from capture by Major
Marsh Aguinaldo has seemingly refra1ned
from taking any active command OF
troops, and also ceased issuing procla-
nations until the recent one in which
he denounced all Filipinos who had sworn
allegiance to the United States. 1t was
this proclamation, I understand, which
led to the discovery of his hiding place.
"Aguinaldo has always personally be-
lOnged to the conservatives in his OPP
position to American occupation, and the
various armistices sought for about the
time the Americans captured Calumpit
were asked by him. His uncompromis-
ing attitude toward American occupa-
ton, as shown in his proclamationsx. was
the result of the influence Of his cab
met which he was unable to control. In
fact, these prOclamations, for the most
part, were written by Sandico and Ma
bini.
II remember we'll the day when Aguil-
les reached Manila ana interviewed Gen.
eral Otis with reference to a cessation
of hostilities. He first notified General
Otis that he came at the request of
Aguinaldo, and frankly admitted that the
Fi,ipinos had believed Calumpit impreg-
nab,e; that with it's capture further re-
sistance to the advance of the American
troops was fruitless, and that to the sur
prise of the Fiipinos themselves. He
declared that further fighting would re.
suit in needless loss of life and that hi

regiment in February, 1899, submit led

General Mac Arthur, who rejected it
because of the lack of soldiers, accord
ing to a story of a member of the Kansas
City Stars editorial staff who served
under the Kansas officer at the time
Just previous to the outbreak of FeD-
ruary 4, 1899, AZ uinaldO maintained his
headquarters at Calcoocan. He was a
familiar figure to the members of the
Twentieth Kansas regiment, then COM
manded by General Funston. 1t was
necessary for him to pass the Kansas
outpost guard on his way from Calcoo-
can to Manila, to which place he made
frequent trips until three days before
the beginning of hostilities. Despite the
fact that he had become well known
to the Kansas sentinels they would al
ways insist upon his dsmOunting and
showing the pass signed by General Otis
permitting him to enter and leave the
city.
Following the capture of CalcOOc1n,
February 10, many of the insurgents
retreated to Malabon. a city of some size
located on strip Of land jutting out to
sea Immediately south of Calcoocan and
accessible from CalcOocan by wide
stone bridge. Colonel Funston SUBJ
mitted plan to General Mac Arthur to
capture AguinaldO.

adventurous turn, was given some
years ago by aRussian diplomatist
who in the intervals of political work
applied himself to the task of unravel-

that bees are born from the bodies of
dead oxen. 1t Is a belief Of remote an
tiquity, which appears in many Ian
guages. The author identified it as a
fly called crystals tenax, which, in adj
dition to being very like bee, has the
power of feeding on and breeding in a
very great number of substances, nice
and nasty. In proof of this the au-

quarters of the globe, and become

contented and Industrious. They carry
everything on their heads, and walk
| erect with a fine, swinging gait which
the men would do well to copy. In the
early morning they come down from
the NILS to the markets, carrying their
baskets of fruit and vegetables on
their heads, and when their days work
is done they cheerfully replace the
baskets on heir heads and set out for
heir homes, which often they will not
reach till they have left at least some
ten miles behind them. The curse of

consummate laziness, and it is to his

and dishonest in what are usually
called little things they have no
moral qualms about invading a neigh
boris yam patch by night and helping
themselves to what they fancy, or
about stealing poultry or pilfering
fruit. 1t is simply because they are
too lazy to earn the small sum neces-
sary to purchase what they require, or
to take the trouble to devote the very
small amount of labor necessary to cul-
tivate their own vegetables and fruit,
that they prefer to take advantage OF
the industry of their neighbors. 1t is
this want Of security for outdoor pro-

AIDS TO LONGEVITY IN CHICAGO

While Chicago proudly boasts that
she has very small and rapidly dimin-
| ishing death rate and produces figures
which seem to back up the boast, there
are conditions in that city which are
not usually cited as favorable to lon
gevity. A recent investigation conduct
ed by the City Homes Association of
Chicago shows that out of about two
thousand rooms examined one-half had
not sufficient light, and nearly half the
jewellers in these tenements had little
more than half of the four hundred Gu
bic feet of air in their bedrooms which
the State law requires as the minimum
consistent with health. In many blocks
the population averaged more than four
hundred to the square acre, or about
two-thirds the number per acre in the
crowded East Side of New York. One
of the newer tenements, that covered
only one-seventh of an acre, housed
one hundred and twenty-five people,
which is at the rate of nearly nine hun
bred per acre.
Perhaps such facts as these wont be
allowed to keep the death rate of Chi
cago from continuing to decrease. If
they are not it will show that Chicago
is indeed the wonderful city it claims to

ENCnURAGfNE,

Some very encouraging things are
days. For instance, it has just been
made evident in Louisiana that white
men can't murder negroes there with
impunity. In Tangipahoa parish there
is a gang of bad white men. Awhile
ago members of this gang wantonly
butchered some members of an unof
| Tending negro family, and maltreated
| others. Three of the wretches were ar
rested and indicted for murder. Three
juries of Louisiana white men have
brought in verdicts against them, To
the third jury Judge Reid said the
other day: Gentlemen, the court desires
to compliment you and through you
the other jurors who have tried differ
scientious and intelligent manner in
which you and they have discharged
your duty. 1t is no small matter to
convict white men for killing negroes,
especially in Tangipahoa parish, where
convictions for serious crimes are eX-
ceptionally rare, white or black, but in
side of ten days three white men have
been convicted in one, two. three order
for killing negroes. Such a thing is
worthy of special remark and this au-
ours we'll for the future.
If the South improves in morals and
manners as fast as it is improving in
material things it will do well. And,
come to think of 1t, so will the North.

4 GENGIBLE EDUC ATOR.

DR. William T. Harris, United States
Commissioner of Education, was born
in this State, and 1t is therefore natural
for him to be sensible. He Is sensible
when he says that permanent injury is
done to thousands of children by send
ing them to school too early and keep
ing them confined in the school room
too many hours a day. DR.. Harris does
not think that it is cause for great
pride that a child finishes an academic
course at Is, or that he has acquired
more Greek at the age of q than a col
iege professor. He believes that these
exhibits of precocity are produced at
the expense of the child, who at these
ages is as dull in some things as he is
bright in these particular perform
ances. An even, practical education
obtained with keen regard for the
full physical development of the stu
dent and a knowledge of the practical
bilities of every day life, he regards of
more value in life than these special
manifestations of brilliancy in youth.
DR.. Harris is right. Many children
are so educated that they don't know
anything and haven't any fitness for
the work of life.
