When General Emilio Aguinaldo was
leading the Filipino army against the
American forces twenty years ago he
probably little dreamed that some day
a daughter Of his would visit the city
Of Washington and would be given a
great reception at the famous Con-
%gressional Club! And that the wives

gress and two wives of members Of the
Presidents cabinet would call upon
her to pay their respects!
But all this actually happened when
Miss Carmen Aguinaldo, his nineteen
year-old daughter, visited Washington
recently. And those wives OF the Am.
erican statesmen expressed themselves
as both charmed and surprised at the
refined, tactful, college educated young
miss who greeted them.
Miss Aguinaldo was simply delight

Resignation of Secretary Of State
Follows Bitter WrangIe
With President.
OUTSTANDING STRIFE
Executive Charges Secretary Usurped
Powers In Calling Cabinet Meet
inas In illness of chief-Ex-
change of Letters.

Neutrality-suspicious. Lansing ended
his career as Secretary Of State, after
President Wilson had accused him Of
uburping the powers of President by
calling meetings of the cabinet during
Mr.. Wilson's illness.
Mr.. Lansing denied he had sought
Or intended to usurp the presidential
authority. He added, however, that he
believed then, and still believed, that
the cabinet conferences were "for the
best interests of the republic" that
they were proper and necessary be-
cause of the Presidents condition, and
that he would have been derelict in
his duty If he had failed to act as he
did.
Letter Prompted Resignation.
AS the record stands, Mr.. Lansing
offered his resignation and Mr.. Wilson
accepted it. The resignation was Of
fered, however, only after the Presi-
dent, under date Of February z, had
written asking if it we're true that Mr..
Lansing had called cabinet meetings,
and stating that if such were the case
he felt it necessary to say that under
our Constitutional law and practice, as
developed hitherto, no one but the
President has the right to summon
the heads Of the executive depart.
ments into conference"
Mr.. Lansing answered two days Ia
ter-saying he had called the cabinet
conferences because he and others of
the presidents official family "felt
that in view Of the 2act that we were
denied communication with you, it was
wise for us to confer informally to-
gether on . . matters as to which
action could not be postponed until
your medical advisers permitted you
to pass Upon them"
Wilson "Much Disappointed"
The secretary concluded by saying
that if the President believed he had
failed in his loyalty to him, and if
Mr.. Wilson no longer had confidence
in him, he was ready to relieve you
of any embarrassment by placing my
resignation in your hands,"
The President replied that he was
much disappointed" by Mr.. Lansing.
He said he found nothing in the sec
retary's letter (which justifes your
assumption of presidential authority
In such a matter" and added that he
must frankly take advantage of your
kind suggestion to resign.
Il must say" the President contin.
ued, that it would relieve me of
embarrassment of feeling your reluc-
lance and divergence of Judgment, if
you would give up your present office
n afford me an opportunity to select
some n else whose mind would more
willingly go along with mine."
Differences Existed Long.
The differences between the Presi-
dent long pre-dated the first cabinet
call by Mr.. Lansing, which was issued
last October S, seven days after MI.
Wilson returned from his western
speaking tour and took to his bed.
They began at the Peace conference
n Paris, as Mr.. Lansing disclosed in
his final letter to the President, and
had continued since that time-one of
the chief differences being over the
governments attitude toward Mexico.

MISS CARMEN AGUlNALDO,
Daughter of the Former Leader Of the
Filipino Army.
oughly at home that she c%aptivated ev-
%erybody."
On another occasion while in Wash
ington Miss Aguinaldo was given a real
ovation by a Filipino-American audi
ence when she recited my Last Fare
WE'LL" poem of DR.. Jose Rial, the Fill
fpino martyr.
Miss A%guinaldo is a student at the
University Of Illinois, Urbana, III.
While in Washington she was the
guest of Mrs. Jaime G. deVeyra, wife
of n Of the resident commissioners
from the Philippines. The Capitol
building and the Congressional library
appealed particularly to the young
Filipino, while the beautiful sights
from the Washington monument thrill
ed her with delight. When asked how
she liked America, she smiled and an
swered:
1T is a wonderful country. l didn't
like winter at first, but since I have
learned how to skate I am having fine
times. All the Americans whom I have
met have been very good to me. My
friends in Urbana and my classmates
In the university are just lovely, but /
cannot help feeling homesick at times
because I am missing my father. My
coming here was indeed a great sacri-
flee for him, for we are very close. He
is sc good to me-"
Miss Aguinaldo is intensely patriotic.
She does not conceal her resentment
when she hears or reads of a misrepre-
sentation of the Filipinos. ut is un-
Fortunate" she one exclaimed in a
voice full of sadness, "that my country
and my people are hardly known, much
less understood, by the people of Am
erica"
Politics is tabooed in any converse
ton with this Filipino maid. She
evades the topic by replying that she
is too young to express opinions on
things political. Cali I can say" she
declares, lis that l share with my
father in the desire for independence
for my native land. There is no ques-
ton about our being able to govern
ourselves"
Filipinos declare Miss Aguinaldo has
a genuine Filipino temperament
that is, she does no believe in the oc-
cidental custom of dates" between
young men and women. She does not
see anything wrong in it, she says, but
1t Is such a violent departure from the
custom in the Philippines that she can
not adopt 1t.
"YOu might laugh at me-" she said,
but / cannot 30 out with one single
escort unchaperoned. ! simply can't.
l will go back to my country with the
soul Of a Fil!plna."
A newspaper in one Of the large Am.
erican cities that Miss Aguinaldo visit.
ed expressed the opinion that she
would NJ doubt be greatly impressed
by the sight OF street cars md some OF
tho fine residences she would see, but
the truth Is the young lady WAS raised
In Manila, whore she has seen an ND
t0'date street car system all her life.
