to get him to follow a street sprink-
Ter, but the reporter turned down the

fore a later patriotic ardor. 'hou-
sands of all ages are asking to be
drilled In the use of arms.
Nor is the aid afforded the govern
ment confined to offers to serve in the
ranks. A delegation of planters from

the president and rendered a subscrip-
ton of 8, 900, 600 pesos.

foreign affairs and the interior re-
spectively, today issued denials OF the

disguise for the purpose of eluding
arrest, bat an admirer raised the cry,
