STORY OF AGuiNALDO'S
CAPTURE.
Incidents of the Expedition Which Cap

tured the Insurgent Chief.
February % General Funston came
into possession of several letters writ
ten by Aguinaldo, among them being
one that 400 troops should be sent to
him as soon as possible. The bearer of
the letter was to guide the troops to his
retreat. Funston planned to head a
detachment of Tagalogs friendly to
Americans, and with the information
contained in the letters, endeavor to
effect his capture.
The party sailed on the Vicksburg
March s, and on March IA, at night,
ran ashore near Casiguran, 90 miles
from Aguina dos headquarters.
The ex-insurgent officers, ostensihIy
commanding the party, announced that
they were on the way to join Agunal-
DO between Pautobang and Baler; that
they had surprised an American sur
veying party and that they had killed
number, capturing five. They ex-
hibited General Funston and the other
On the morning of March II, taking
a small quantity of cracked corn, the
party started on ninety-mile march
to Palanan. They marched seven days
and nights, and on March 90 had
reached point eight miles from Pala-
nan. They were now so weak that it
was necessary to send to Aguinaldo's
camp for food Aguinaldo dispatched
supplies, and directed that the Ameri-
can prisoners be kindly treated, but
not be allowed to enter the town.
On March 90 the march was resumed.
The column was met by Aguinaldo's
body guards.
General Funston's men crossed the
river in small boats, formed on the
bank and marched to the right and
then in front of the insurgent grena-
diers. The Tagalos entered the house
where Aguinaldo was.
Suddenly the Spanish officer, notic-
ing that Aguinaldo's aide was watch
Ing the Americans suspiciously, ex-
claimed: Now, Maccabebe bes, go for
them
The Maccabebes opened fire; but
their aim was rather ineffective, and
only three insurgents were killed The
rebels returned the fire.
On hearing the firing, Aguinaldo,
who evidently thought his men were
merely celebrating the arrival of rein
torcements, ran to the window and
shouted: stop that foolishness! Quit
wasting ammunition.
Hilario Placido, one of the Talago
pfficers, and former insurgent major.
who was wounded in the lung by the
lire of the Kansas regiment at the bat
tie of Caloocan, threw his arms around
Aguinaldo, exclaiming, "You are a
prisoner of the Americans"
When the firing began General
Funston assumed command and di-
-ected the attack on the house, per-
'onally assisting in the capture of
Aguinaldo. The insurgent body
guard fled, leaving twenty rifles. San
tiago Barcelona, the insurgent treas
nrer, surrendered without resistance.
When captured, Aguinaldo was tre-
mendously excited, but he calmed
down under General Funston's assur-
ance that he would be well treated.
The expedition rested March "a and
then marched sixteen miles the follow
Ing day, where General Funston found
the Vicksburg which brought him to
Manila.

Carrie Nation in New York.

New York, Aug. 2S.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation arrived in this city today.
She had an interview with Police
Commissioner Murphy during which
he told her that she would be arrested
if she violated the law in this city.
Mrs. Nation also called at John l..
Sullivan's saloon to see the ex-pugil-
ist in reference to a statement he was
alleged to have made to the effect
that he would "Throw her in the
sewer'' Sullivan sent down word
that he was i'll, but made an appoint
ment to meet her next Monday. She
then went to see Archbishop Corri
gan, but he was out of town.
When Mrs. Nation entered police
headquarters she was shown at once
to Commissioner Murphy's room. In
opening her interview with the COM
missioner she said she had called on
him for an account Of his stewardship
and asked if he did not think New
York was an awful wicked place. The
commissioner replied in the negative
and Mrs. Nation repeated the question
as an assertion, whereupon Mr..
Murphy requested her to stop, saying
he would not discuss the matter with
her. She continued, however, to ply
the commissioner concerning drinking
places of all which he refused to an
swer. Mrs. Nation said she had come
here to do the city some good.
You don't know what you are
talking about said Commissioner
Murphy. $50 back to Kansas and
stay there. If you want to do some
thing, why don't you do something
for your husband?''
81 have no husband now,'' said
Mrs. Nation. 81 sudpose you know
all about that matter.''
"Oh, yes said Commissioner
Murphy, 81 congratulate Mr.. Nation.
He ought to be happy man now.
"Why don't you want to discuss
Sunday saloons?'' asked Mrs. Nation.
and the commissioner replied
angrily: Because I don't want to. I
won't sit here and be lectured. -
"What do you mean to say: that
you won't discuss good morals in New
York? Don't you want to taxi about
the closing up of these hell-holes and
murder shops? Do you think am
crazy?''
"Yes, I do," Mr.. Murphy responded.
Mrs. Nation then addressed Mr..
Murphy as Father" which term the
commissioner warmly resented.
But the Kansas reformer persisted.
Father, don't you think little
hatchetation' would be good for New
York. -
eff you violate the laws, I'll have
you locked up" Murphy warned her.
Commissioner Murphy finally termi-
mated the interview by beckoning to
his secretary. who escorted Mrs. Ma
tion from the room. Before leaving
the room Mrs. Nation said she would
return to town on Sunday and visit the
Tenderloin and see everything that

An Assassin Shoots Mr.. Edward
Boykin.

Excitement ran high Sunday even
ing when it was reported that Nj Ed
ward Boykin had been shot from am
bush near his home in Kirkwood. AS
soon as this was heard a number of
the town boys went up to his home
Immediately to see if they could be of
any assistance and to ascertain the
extent of the injuries. They called at
Millbank and were surprised when
Mr.. Boykin himself walked down to
meet them, smiling and saying that
he had received only flesh wound in
the arm. When asked about the affair
he described it in somewhat such Ian
guage as this: For several nights I
have been conscious of some one or
something following me as l returned
through the slight stretch of woods
near my home. | took no notice of
these disturbances, and thought them
of no significance until this morning,
when / received an anonymous letter,
telling me to beware OF the robber
whom [ wounded some time ago. That
he was desperate man and had sworn
to kill me, and that | must not 60 out
after night unarmed, becasue he was
shadowing me. The letter was writ
ten in several hands, one of which was
rather a good one. The post mark
was Camden. and was dated, Sunday
g 80 a. m. But to lead to the imme-
diate attack, which has just occurred,
I must continue Late this afternoon,
I went down to the pond to take
bath. When I finished and was re-
turning towards the house, l was at
tackled, just as l was crossing the
McRae branch, which flows into the
pond. I saw man dart forward
from the under-brush and the next
moment loud discharge deafened me,
and l fell back on my elbow, wounded
in the arm.
When the smoke cleared, l saw
man running up the branch, with his
back towards me. l drew my pistol
and fred at him five times, but the
under-brush being dense ] missed him
every time
Bloodhounds were procured from
the State farm and put on the sup
posed trail, but they seemed at loss
as to which direction he had taken,
and as yet nothing has been seen or
heard of the man.-Camden Mes

Vanishing Bird Races.

It is reported that the famingo, the
pink curlew, and the eagle together
with several other species of beautiful
and valuable bird, are vanishing SO
rapidly that within a few years they
will be practically extinct. The war
fare on these birds has been waged
most vigorously, of course, in civil
lied countries. The savage. with his
rude weapons and his incidence, can
not possibly do as much damage as the
civilized man with his shot gun and
untiring pursuit not only Of the birds
but of the dollar.
For some reason Or other the human
race is much addicted to that unproht-
able habit known as shutting the
stable door after the horse is gone. y
It would have been comparatively
easy matter to check the destruction
of these birds years ago: it would be
possible even now to rescue them from
determination by taking a little care
but instead of that, the hunters will
probably be allowed to continue their
ravages until any bird more attract
i've than the English sparrow has be-
come a mere tradition. There are some
lessons which can be learned from ex-
perience, but the unfortunate thing is
that the experience does not always
happen twice. If a man has climbed
up place where he ought not to be,
and fallen and broke his!back, the les
son is not of much value to him, be-
cause he will never climb any
where again. After these birds
have been exterminated and
their habitat rendered unfit for
restocking, it will not be of much
use to moralize over the ruthlessness
and rapacity which caused their de-
struction.,
The measures which ought to be
taken will vary in different places.
In some parts Of the country it would
be enough, perhaps, to impose a small
penalty on hunters caught shooting
birds out of season. In other cases it
might be necessary to forbid the
shooting Of certain species of birds at
all. In places where valuable birds
have become extremely scarce it
might be we'll to follow some system
of breeding and artificial protection.
This would employ the native hunters
who are now among the birds most
dangerous enemies, and would instill
in them different idea of the value
of the birds from that which they now
have. In fact, many of these men
are simply and solely pot-hunters.
They shoot birds and animals, not fol-
sport, but because they must make a
living. If they could be paid fol-
taking care of the wild creatures in
stead of for shooting them they
would, in. many cases, much prefer
that employment.

The Mosquito Pest.

Many Southern towns and many in
dividual Southern farmers are pestered
annually by mosquitoes. Is it not
worth while for them to make trial of
the remedy which has succeeded so
we'll at Winchester, in spite of draw
backs and discouragements due to in
dividual neglect? Kerosene is quite
cheap. very little of it has to be used,
and the happy results are attractive,
to say the laest. When it is remem-
bered that mosquitoes not only annoy
people by their billings, but carry the
germs Of malaria and other diseases,
the use of such a small remedy as oil
poured upon stagnant pools of water
or other favorite nurseries of mosqui-
teos ought to be general whenever it
is needed. d.-Southern Farm Magazine
of Baltimore for September.
