Withdrawn from the house where Agui-
naldo lived in Manila, and Lieutenant
Johnston, The custodian of Aguinaldo,
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 Il. Mckinley of the
Ninth cavalry acted as interpreter.
Aguinaldo was told that he was free
to go anywhere he pleased. and Gen
eral Chaffee asked him if he had any
complaint to make of American dis
courtesy or harshness. Aguinaldo re-
piled that he had no such complaint 10
make. He told General Chaffee that lie
was going to visit friends at his home,
in Cavite Niejo, Cavite province, and
inquired what protection the American
authb,tcs wo,ild afford him. He
seemed to be afraid to venture out.
General Chatfee replied that .sguinaldo
would get the same protection as any
other citizen.
The former Filipino leader then asked
General Chatfee to prevent the courts
from requiring him to testify in civil
suits. General Chaffee replied that he
had no authority to grant this request
He advised Aguinaldo to make social
call upon Acting Civil Governor
Wright. This Aguinaldo said lie would
do, but that he would go at night, as
he was timid about appearing on the
streets in daylight.
The release of the former Filipino
leader has renewed speculation as to
possible vengeance upon him by friends
of Luna and his other enemies.
Luna was Filipino leader whom
Aguinaldo caused to be killed in 1900.

Strike Goes On.
WILKESBARRE Pa, July Pres
ident Mitchell of the miners union has
left here for New York. He slipped
out Of town so unexpectedly and so
quietly that only two or three persons
around strike headquarters knew of
his departure. AS he did not announce
he was going to New York there Is an
element OF mystery about his journey,
but it is learned on trustworthy au-
thority that be went to the metropolis
for the purpose Of meeting leaders of
other labor organizations.
Today begins the third month of the
strike. There have been many rumors
and opinions published that certain
goal companies would within few
days attempt to- start up one or more
colllerics The officials Of the big COM
panies who are willing to talk deny all
knowledge of any attempt of their re-
spectiye companies TO start work. They
say, however, that the number of men
applying for work is growing larger
each week. Many of them are given
employment, and the names of the 9th
ers are placed on the waiting list. The
number of miners among the appli-
cants who are applying for work is
very small and so long as the miners
themselves refrain from going to the
collieries no coal can be mined.
or the 1I7.O00 men and bows EN-
ployed about the mines approximately
$4,000 are miners. Under the laws Of
the state no company can employ a
man to cut coal unless he has min
er's certificate showing that he has had
Two years experience in the anthracite
mines. These certificates are awarded
by examining boards composed of min
ers appointed by the county courts.
Therefore if 100000 men and boys
were willing to return they could not !
lawfully operate collieries unless the
striking miners also went to work.
The labor leaders are unanimous in
the belief that the strike will be on
Sept ! if the operators make no con-
cessions, and the company officials are
Of the opinion that the price of coal
during the remainder of this year will

the other hand, may go higher. One
