TAFT TOLD THEM HOW.
He Pointed Out the Road to Indepen-
dence Says Aguinaldo.

Manila. Nov. IA feature of the
visit of Secretary Taft to Manila was
the presence of Aguinaldo at several

"He told US how we can get it. The

President of the Assembly Osmena
considers that the most important re-
suit of the visit has been the harmon

upon the assembly as having been the
greatest thing done yet. He is con-
