Agunaldo was told that he was
free to go anywhere he pleased, and
General Chaffee asked him IL he had
any complaint to make OF American
discourtesy or harshness. AguinaldC
replied that he had no such complaint
TO make. He told General Chaffee
that he was going to visit friends al
his home in Cavite Viejo, in Cavite
province, and inquired what protec,
tion the American authorities would
afford him. He seemed to be afraid &c
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 tc
make a social call upon Acting Civil
Governor Wright. This Aguinaldo
said he would do, but that he would

be killed In 1899.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. July 7.-President
Mitchell. of the miners union. left here
yesterday for New York. He slipped
out OF town so Unexpectedly and ~
quietly that only two or three persons
around strike headquarters knew OF
his departure. II is said he went &c
the metropolis for the purpose of meet
ing leaders of other labor organiza
tions.
Today opened the third month OF the
great strike There have been many
Iumors and opinions published that
certain coal companies would win in
few days and attempt to start up
one or more collieries. The officials
OF the big companies who are willing
to talk deny all knowledge Of any at.
tempt OF their respective companies
to start work. They say. however.
that the number Of men applying for
work Is growing each week. Many OF
them are given employment, and the
names OF the others are placed on the
waiting list. The number of miners
among the applicants who are apply
ing for work Is very small, and so long
as the miners themselves refrain from
going to the CollerieS no coal can be
mined
Company officials who were seen
yesterday were OF the opinion that the
price Of coal during the remainder
OF this year will not go below the
present figures but on the other hand
may go higher. One superintendent
was quite emphatic in his reply. by
saying: Il don't think the price will
go down under any condition during
this year.

tell you that the day is not far away
when my words will come true.
Those tellow-workers among your
