COL. AGUINALDO AGAIN
Evidence That lie ConferS With the

Big CROWDS COME TO SEE HIN.

do, looking impressive and describing
himself as farmer, and not noticing
a packed courtroom beyond nodding to
a few friends testified in the Renaci-
mcnto libel case. This is the case in
which three editors of the Renacimento,
the most influential of the Filipino or
gans, were arrested on the charge OF
libellng Captain Baker, of the constab-
ulary, whom they charged with cruelty
in the Cavite campaign.
Aguinaldo testified that a constabu-
larry officer visited his farm and COM
PEELED him to 60 to headquarters, where
he was urged to influence Felizardo and
Montolon, two Ladrone leaders, to sur-
render He refused to do so, alleging
that he had no influence with the La
drones. Thereupon Captain Baker swore
at him and insulted him. He said he
knew of several constabulary outrages.
He said that Ladronism is steadily di-
minishing.
Prosecuting Attorney Smith cross
examined Agunaldo. The former rebel
leader became pitifully ratified. He
abandoned his attempt to speak in Span
ish and testified in the Tagalog dialect,
through an interpreter He reiterated
weakly the statement that he was lead
ing a retired life as an example to his
countrymen, but was forced to admit
that he had been familiar with the raids
of Felizardo and Montolon, which, he
deliberately said, could not be assigned to
the restoration of peace
Just at this time Aguinaldo was dra-
matically and suddenly confronted with
five horribly tortured FilipinoS who had
been rescued and succored by the con.
stabulary. One of these, 70 years OF
age, had had his tongue sliced, one had
been hamstrung, two others had been
hamstrung and their lips hideously cut

the Cavite Ladrones. This created an
extraordinary sensation.
Hundreds of people crowded the
courtroom for half the day waiting tor
and afterward listening to the testi-
money of Aguinaldo.

CHINESE WANT OPEN DOOR.
Will Probably Decline to Sign Any Exclusion

Washington, D. c. Especially Some
doubt is expressed in official circles
whether it will be possible to obtain
China's consent to another treaty with
the United States providing for even
the exclusion of Chinese laborers from
this country.
The State Department is aware of the
i'll feeling throughout China on the whole
subject, and now that the immigration
treaty with China has been allowed to
lapse without the negotiation OF new
agreement reports have reached here
that China is inclined hereafter to refuse
to sign any similar convention.
China's position appears to be that
the exclusion of Chinese citizens from
friendly country is in itself a disgrace,
and while she cannot ignore the laws OF
foreign power providing for such ex-
clusion she can refuse to sanction 1t or
become part of it by concluding treaty
involving such restrictions. A year ago,
it is said, it would have been easy to
conduct negotiations with China for the
exclusion of Chinese laborers only. Now,
however, it is understood, the Chinese
officials are disposed to regard the sign
ing of such treaty beneath the Dig
nifty of their Government.
The reason for the assumption at Pc
kin of this new attitude is not quite clear
TO the officials here, though in some cir
Giles If was attributed to the influence
of foreign powers.

Washington Government does not share
in this belief. Indeed, in official circles
here the statement is made without hest
tation that such demand would not be
moderate" or reasonable" and it is
known that Russia will not permit the
subject of Vladivostok to come before
the conference.
Little progress has been made in the
direction of an armistice. London has
not seen its way clear TO aid the Presi-
dent in his efforts to this end, and Japan
has in the most determined manner 'ndi-
Gated its unwillingness to consent to an
armistice until her plenipotentiaries have
met the Russians in the conference. The
object of this, it is now explained IN an
authoritative quarter, is because Japan
wishes to be assured that Russia is pre-
pared to negotiate in seriousness tor
peace before the Japanese commanders
