HOW 1T HAPPENED
Continued From First Page.) {.

Asked, if the announcement were true what effect he thought 1t would have on the insurrection, Agoncille re- piled emphatically: None, except the loss of a true patriot and a clever gen. eral. The feeling of the Filipino peo- ple and their determination to fight out the struggle for independence will re- main unshakeable."
 When Agoncil!o was asked what eff feet the capture would have on the campaign. he said the council of the leading Filipinos would simply meet and elect another military chief to prosecute the war. adding that, even if Agunaldo and his general staff were all captured, many able generals re- nained.
 Agoncilo was asked who was likely to be chosen to succeed Aguinaldo, and he said he thought General Alejandrino might be selected, as he was a clever military leader and enjoyed the conf dence of the people

sprung, figuratively speaking, into the arms of the snake, of whose precise To- cation in the darkness he could not be aware. he wrapped the blanket more tightly about him and drew it closely about his head. preferring death by suffocation to the dying agonies which would follow, so 90 speak, upon the heels of the rattlesnake's fangs.
 The snake. having again sum moned him to surrender with all the sonorousness and imperiousness it could throw into the tones of it's tail, determined to capture him by assault. It struck the blanket with great force, but Mir. Joyce felt nothing but the i'm pact which, though more jarring, Is less poisonous thar the fangs of a rat tlesnake. After that everything was strangely silent. Mir. Joyce lay in mortal terror and the blanket through the livelong night He feared' the cum ming strategy of the snake and dared not remove the covering from his head. He reasoned beside that he could not see anything anyhow. He lay thus until long after sunrise. His terror grew on him until he realized that uu- certainty was making a maniac of him and the blanket was making him hot. He cautiously removed the covering from his face and glanced along the blanket. The snake was there stretched out alive but harmless. His death deal ing fangs were entangled in the heavy texture. The snalIa looked at Mir. Joyce appealingly but there was no quarter. The reptile was dispatched and his fangs were pried out of the blanket, or, as MT Jcyce told Judge Barnes, they were "prlzed out"
 Mir. Joyce made a curious discovery then. The dark blanket had turned white during that night of terror. In the course of half an hour 1t was swollen to double its thickness and be- gan to take on a sickening green hue. It was as clear a case of blood polson- ing as blanket ever figured in The

JUDGE BARNES SNAKE STORY
Most Remarkable Case of Blood Poi.
 sening on Record.

Judge William H. Barnes. the snake a frequent contributor to the snake de-
 partment of the New York Sun, has resumed his labors after long period of recreation spent among the affairs of the Cobre Grande. He now comes forward with a reptilian anecdote which is even more weird than his story of the famous irrigating bull snakes. on which until now his fame as graphic and truthful writer has chiefly rested. The incident most recently re- lated by Judge Barnes occurred several months ago. He heard of 1t at the time, but 1t was so remarkable and there was such a lack of corroborative proof that he hesitated about writing 1t. He feared that it might turn out to be an exaggeration. It is essential that a snake editor should confine him. self closely to facts. The religious or the society editor need not be so care full. What the religious editor writes Is accepted as true. and people are too polite to critically inspect the state- ments of the society editor. But the lime light of criticism is thrown upon the work of the snake editor. Every body is looking for flaws and misstate- ments and his articles are frequently pronounced outrageously fictitious by persons who have not taken pains to hunt up proof of their untruthfuness.
 So Judge Barnes restrained himself from giving publicity to this story until he had gathered all the evidence which he is now able to produce. It is as follows: Last September James Joyce, a prospector aged 3S. and a native of Illinois. where his parents, one brother and sister now reside. went into camp on the Sopri side of the Sierrita mountains aboux seventy-five miles southeast of Tucson. He had a long and fruitless tramp and was very tired. About half past eight o'clock. having partaken of a light collation of black coffee. beans and bacon, and h2v- ing attended to>the needs of his pack It burros, he wrapped himself in a heavy. dark colored blanket and prepared to sleep. A rudimentary or incipient slum- Der was disturbed by the loud whir-r-r of a rattlesnake nearby. so near, in fact, that Mir. Joyce. who is a perion of more than usual presence of m nd, instead of springing up as most men would have done, and perhaps have
