street who did not greet him with a mill
1ary salute he did not hesitate to assault
with physical violence Naturally the chief
justice was not favorite with the popu-
lace.
When Tino drove the Spaniards from
Nlgan and the judge had fed with the re-
treating CaZadoreS, his house hold effects
were left behind. Next day his house had
been looted bare.
When tho chief justice returned as a
prisoner, he entered complaint with 1ino,.
and the genera ferreted out the culprits
obliged them to restore all the looted nrop-
erty, and punished them severely besides
Then came a counter charge from the citf-
zens against the judge, in which he was
accused of tyranny in former DAYS This
was rather an indefinite charge. but Tino,
not having legal turn OF mind found 1t
quite sufficient. He had the judge tried,
round him guilty and sentenced him to
stand one whole uay In the public plaza,
and to salute each person who might ma "a 1
ana demand 1t. Refusal meant a cut from
bamboo cane in the hands of a musculart
native corporal. All day long the formerly
oppressed natives passed by In single file :
and the poor judge was compelled to work
his arm like pump handle from morning
until night.
Another case illustrating this same phase
OF Ilnos character occurred when he had
the Gilmore party under his charge A
local merchant who looked toward the fut-
ure gave the American prisoners clothes

recommendation to the American generali
advancing north. Tino heard of it. and for
bade any further favors.
While the Spanish prisoners and our own
soldiers go about barefooted and hungry

The merchant refused and was thrown

Tino remained in the north until the lat

cans pressed hard on Aguinaldo in the
south, and he ordered Tino to reinforce
him The boy general left small gar

with 800 rifemen marched down to meet
the advancing Americans. But American
artillery drove him back

Now comes a singular incident, As the
Spanfards had fed before Tfno he now re-
treated over the same ground before Gem

Fernando he made a stand with 200 men.
