AGUINALDO AFRAID
TO VENTURE OUT
Asks Protection From The
American Authorities
Seemi 10 Fear the Vengeance Of
Friends Of General Luna, Whom
He Betrayed to Death

Manila, July 7.-As a result of the
reclamation Of amnesty Of July 4,
lhe guard of American soldiers has
been withdrawn from the house where
Aguinaldo lived in Manila, and Lieu
tenant Johnson, Aguinaldo's custodian,
brought the Filipino yesterday to see
General Chaffee. 1t was the first meet
Ing between the American general and
the leader of the Filipino revolution
Lieutenant William E. McKinlay, Of
the Ninth Cayalary, acted as inter
! lreter.
Imaginable was told that he was
free to go anywhere he pleased, and
General Chaffee asked him if he had
any complaint to make of American
discourtesy or harshness. Aguinaldo
replied that he had no such complaint
TO make. He told General Chaffee
that he was going to visit friends at
his home in Cavite Viejo, in Cavite
province, and inquired what protec.
tion the American authorities would
afford him. He seemed to be afraid to
venture out. General Chaffee replied
that Aguinaldo would get the same
protection as any other citizen.
The former Filipino leader then
asked General Chaffee to prevent the
courts from requiring him to testify
in civil suits. General Chaffee replied
that he had no authority to grant this
request, and advised Aguinaldo to
make a social call upon Acting Civil
Governor Wright This Aguinaldo
said he would do, but that he would
go at night, as he was timid about ap
pearing on the streets in daylight.
The release of the former Filipino
leader has renewed speculation as to
possible vengeance upon him by
friends of General Luna and his other
enemies. General Luna was a Fill
pino leader whom Aguinaldo caused to
be killed in 1S99
