given a hearing before Justice Tomp-
kins. of Hastings. They refused to say
anything when a formal charge OF at
tempted infantioide was entered against
them. and they were committed With
out bail to the county Jail at White

was az work on one OF the border
streets of Hastings when he noticed
a man and woman walk into the woods.
The woman was carrying a bundle.
Shortly after the pair entered the
woods McEvoy heard a cry. He look

the couple, they having disappeared
into the most dense part and were
hidden in the underbrush. McEvoy
naid afterward he resumed work. but
the cry bothered him and he became
convinced in his mind that il was the
woman trying TO cry out and her cries
were being stifed. He says that per-
haps three minutes elapsed before he
started to Investigate.
It was probably ten Of twelve min

New York, April 23.-Patrick Nc
Evoy, a laborer employed by the New
York Central railroad in Hastings-on-
he-Hudson, saw a man and woman
bury a 2-weeks-old baby boy alive yes
terday. As soon as McEvoy realized
what was being done he ran to the
rescue and succeeded in removing the
loose earth from the child in time to
save its life The man and woman ran
away, but McEvoy gave a description
of them to the police. and an Italian
man and woman were arrested in
Yonkers on suspicion that they were
the would-be murderers.
The man said he was Givori Dutta-
cavolo. of Manhattan. He said he was
married and had three children. The
woman said she was Francisco Stin-
ella. Is years old, a dressmaker. and
unmarried She declined to say where
she lived, but to Roundsman Brady at
police headquarters in Yonkers she
volunteered the information that she
was a niece of her companion. They
were hurried into cells and strong
guard placed over them, preparatory
to their arraignment in court. the po-
lice fearing that when the story be-
came known there would be danger OF
violence. The woman denied that the
babe was hers. She said she never had

Hopes Americans Have Faith

NAY VISIT UNITED STATES
Declares Every Word Of His Address
to Ills COuRtrymeE Came From
Ills Heart

Manila, April pa press represent
alive visited Emilio Aguinaldo yester-
day afternoon at SO solano street,
whittier he was removed from the
Malncanan. and found him In large
room upstairs, furnished with a table.
a typewriting machine. three settees
and 20 chairs. His wife. who was en-
tCrtaining a number OF Filipino wo-
men friends, sat at one end Of the
room. while Aguinaldo. smoking
cigar and chatting with Benito Le-
caro-. occupied the opposite corner.
Aguinsldo, whose bearing wns cour-
teous and dignined, was dressed IN
white, looked well and altogether made
an excellent impression. Legardo. who
but recently returned from the United
States. was telling him about the trip
and he seemed intensely interested
smiling frequently and asking numer-
GUS questions. He inquired particu-
larly as to what President Mckinley
said and seemed anxious 20 know what
wns thought OF him In the United
States
He was rather reluctant to talk for
publication. and considered every
question before answering. lie said
he was doing all he could to assist in
the paclhcation of the Philippines and
expressed himself as surprised at what
the Americans had accomplished
When he was first captured. he went
on 20 zuy, he was greatly astonishcd to
find that majority OF the Filipinos
entertained the opinion that American
sovereignty was preferable to inde-
pendencc, but now he was inclined to
believe that way himself.
He explained that since the dlssolu-
tlon Of the insurgent congress and the
declaration OF guerrilla warfare the
chiefs had operated to all intonts and
purposes Independently. They recog-
nlzed him as scommandcr-in-ch send
ing him reports occasionally. and he
issued some orders. but for the last
seven months communication had been
difficult. and he had been almost dis
connected
He expressed the opinion that Tinio.
Luoban. Nalvar and other representa-
tive insurgents will surrender as soon
as they come to understand the ma
ture OF the amnesty offered them. He
said he hoped that when the work Of
pacifcation was complete and condi-
tions were settled the prisoners in
Guam would be released.
After referring in grateful terms to
the courteous treatment accorded him
by the military authorities. he declared
his conviction that tho civil govern
ment which would follow pacllcation
would realize the highest hopes of the
Filipino people.
When questioned regarding the re-
port that he would visit the United
States he replied that he would like
to do so. but had made no plans as
yet, placing himself entirely at the dis
position Of the United States govern
Inent. In concluding the interview he
j observed;
I Every word OF my address to my
countrymen, the Filiplnos, came from
! my heart hope the Americans be-
lieve me thoroughly sincere in my ef-
forts TO secure peace and, under Ameri-
can auspices. to promote the welfare
and prosperity Of the Philippines"
