Manila, July 7.-As a result of the
proclamation of amnesty July 4, the
guard of American soldiers has been
withdrawn from the house where
Aguinaldo lived in Manila, and Lieu.

brought the Filipino yesterday to see
General Chaffee. 1t was the first
meeting between the American gen.
eral and the leader OF the Filipino
revolution. Lieutenant VIM. E. Nc
Kinley, 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 IL he had any
complaint to make of American dis.
courtesy or harshness. Aguinaldo re-
piled that he had no such complaint
to make. He told General Chaffee that
he was going to visit friends at his
nome in Cavite Viejo In Cavite prov.
ince, and inquired what protection the
american authorities would afford
him. He seemed to be afraid to ven.
ture out. General Chaffee replied that
Aguinaldo would get the same protec.
ton as any other citizen.
The former Filipino leader then ask.
ed General Chaffee to prevent the
courts frosl requiring him to testify
in civil suits. General Chaffee replied
he had no authority to grant this re-
quest, and advised Aguinaldo to make
social call upon Acting Civil Cover.

This Aguinaldo said he would do.
but that he would go at night as he

The release of the former Filipino
leader has renewed speculation as 10
possible vengeance upon him by
friends of Luna and his other enc.
mics. Luna was Filipino leader
whom Aguinaldo caused to be killed
in 1899.

ANTITRUST BILL.
LittIefeld viii Draft One at the Re
quest of President.

Washington, July Tt has been
ascertained that the presidents speech
at Pittsburg in reference to the trust
question was merely the forerunner
of determined efforts by him to have
congress take up that subject and en-.
act definite legislation at this next ses
sion for the control and supervision
of trusts.
Recently the president and Attorney
General Knox held conference with
Representative Littlefeld of Maine,
whose knowledge of constitutional law
is admitted, at which Mr.. Littlefeld
was invited to prepare bill for the
regulation and control of the trusts
that will go before congress with the
endorsement and influence of the presi-
dent back of ii. The bill will be sub
mitted at the beginning of the next
session, but before this is done the
president, Attorney General Knox and
Mr.. Littlefield will have frequent con.
ferences as to the details.
In addition to this proposed action
the president is going to talk upon
the trust question during the trips he
will make this fall.

Chicago, July IA special to the
necord- Herald from Winnebago, says:
Rev. DR.. Ferlies, a Church of England
clergyman, arriy ed from York factory,
Northwest British territory today and
brings authentic information of the
fate of Explorer Andre and his com.
panions. Two years ago, 1900 miles
north of York, party of Eskimos
under the leadership of "Old Huskie'
saw the Andre balloon alight on a
plane of snow in that vicinity which
is about two miles north of Fort
Churchill. Three men emerged from
the balloon and some of "Huskie's"
men approached them. AS they did
so one of Andres men fired gun.
This is signal to uncivilized natives
for battle. 1t was regarded as chal.
lenge and almost instantly the natives
fell upon the three explorers and mas
sacred them. Everything pertaining
to their outfit was carried to the homes
of the natives on the borders OF the
Arctic region.
"Old Huskie" himself gave this in.
formation to Ralph Alstine, agent for
the Hudson Bay Company, and the
story after being investigated by DR..
Ferlies was told by him today. He
says that there is little room for doubt,
as frequent reports have since come Of
the strange implements which the
north natives have in their possession.

Gently offered a reward for the discov-

longing to Andre, and though natives
have gone on a search for them, they
have never returned, believing, as Rev.
DR.. Ferlies says, that they will be
punished, for they now understand
that it was not an attack upon them,
but an accident by which the gun was
