General Kunston and the others were
kepi Imprlfoned for thrco days, surrepti

marched seven days nud nights nnd on

from Pnln.ian. They wero now so weak
that It wus necessary to ssud to Aguinnldo's
camp for food. Agulnaldo dispatched sup
plies and directed that the American pris
oners bo kindly treated, but not be al
lowed to enter the town.
On tho morning of March the advance
wus resumed.. The oolumn was met by tho

Suddenly tho Spanish ofllcor, noticing that
Agulnaldo's able wns watching tho Amer

Tho Mncabebes opened fire, but their aim
was rather InclTectlvo and only three In
surgents wore killed. The rebels returned

who evidently thought bis men wcru merely
celebrating the arrival of reinforcements,

notio of the Mncabebes wero wounded. The

marched sixteen miles the following day
to llalanan bay, whero General Kunston
found tho Vlcksburg, which brought him to
Manila. Commander Harry of tho Vlcks
burg rendered General Kunston splendid as
tdstrtifo. Agulnaldo, who talked freely of paBt
events, said he supposed General Trias
would proclaim himself dictator, even not
knowing that Trias had surrendered. He
behaved courteously nnd gave no trouble.
General Kunston says Agulnaldo Is above

Tho president naturally la very much
gratified that the chief mover In the insur
rection has at Inst been taken. H has been
tho opinion of tho mllltnry authorities for
a long tlmu that Agulnaldo was doing more
than nil the other agencies combined to
keep the rebellion In the Philippines alive
and every energy was directed to compass
his capture. It Is ra'her a remarkable
tribute to tho daring and resourcefulness
ot General Kunston that long beforo he
made tho attempt he was selected by the
authorities here as the olllcer to accomplish
It. It wns the Intention of General Kuuston
Bouio time ago to return to tho United
States, but by dltectlon of tho War depart
ment ho was detained in the Philippines In
the hopo that such a contingency as did
urlso should glvo him tho opportunity to
test his prowess. Both tho president and
War depnrtmc.it were fully Informed of tho
trap laid to catch the Insurgent chief and
the result of tho expedition baa been anx
iously awaited for Bevcral days,
ltn.NCM Inti-rrstiHK Que-itlonx.
Several Interesting and Indeed vital ques
tions arc raised by Agulnaldo's capture. If
the Insurrection now collapses, as It In
hoped It will, it may not be necessary to
enlist the full strength of tho army pro
vided for in the army reorganization bill.
There also is the question of the dlspoM-
of the exploit. Ho considered It one of
tho most significant features ot the affair
that the natives themselves had been In
strumental In bringing nbout the capture.
They had made up a eons Idernble part of
Kunston's force nnd their willingness to
go Into tho heart of Agulnaldo's stronghold
Indicated that in their own minds they felt
that there was no longer any real danger
apprehended from Agulnaldo's strength.
That Mich n sentiment had obtained hold
among the KIllpUios war, In tho Judgment
of Secretary Long, a significant 'evidence
that the Insurrection had lost Its vitality
among the people themselves, to
which Is now added tho lo.is of tho osten
sible head of the Insurrection.

"The report of tho capture of Agulnaldo

predict with certainty the effect of his cap
ture, It Is possible It may put an end to the

I'mlllo Agulnaldo, known simply by thnt
namo until the war, when he adopted the
moro Imposing title of Senor Don Hmillo
Agulnnldo y Kaury, was born In n nlpn hut
in tho island of Luzon, In tho old town of
Cavlte, ncur Manila, In 1ST2. Like himself,
his father was a native of the Philippines', of
full Malay blood.
When, a quarter of n century ago, the
hatred ot tho natives of the Islands for the
power that held them under misrule and op
pression began to take form in slumbering
revolt, the Tagalo boy was toddling about
tho hut which was his birthplace, nnd none
knew that ho was destined to make the
namo of Agulnnldo known as that of tho
leader of Ills people.
Tho ordinary Tagalo boy a life Is devoid of
Incident from the ttmo he can walk until he
marries, which may be as early as 1C, when
ho Is regarded aa a man. Not bo with Agul
nnldo. His father was a native chief an
Orang Malnyu that Is, a Malay with literary
knowledge, and having a religion nnd a
form of culture. In this way ho was dis
tinguished from the Orang Bcunn. the Malay
of the soil and from the Orang I. ant, the
Malay of the sea.
The chief had ambitions for his son, so,
while other Tagalo hoys had nothing to do
or think of but eating nnd sleeping, and, in
most cases, had Inordinate fondness for
both, Kmillo Agulnaldo was taught there
was something more In store for him In
life that he was to havo n coreer to be a
chief like his father, or perhaps greater.
I'mlllo Trained fur Chief.
So when Knilllo was 10 years old, having
reached tho ago when he could wear clothes
with fitting dignity, his father gave him to
tho Spnnlsh priests In Manila to be edu
cated. Tho priests wero glad to get him and
train him In Spanish ways ot thinking, hop
ing to use his Influonco later In behalf of
Spain nmong tho Tagalo. Ho was kept In
the schools at Manila a short time, then
sent to Madrid to be educated for the
priesthood.
In .Manila tho Tagalo boy bad 'jegun to be
acquainted with tho system by which t lie
Spanish oinclals oppressed the uatlves. At
Madrid ho saw more, and learned how Spain
oppressed and plundered all Its colonies.
For two years or moro he kept on studying
Latin and other subjects prescribed In tho
course of training for priests, then sur
prised his tutors by telling them he did not
v.dah to bo a priest. He bad determined to
become a soldier.
I'refiTM Hmiril tit t'nvtl.
Opposition was of no avail. A soldier ho
would be, and nothing else. Unwillingly his
masters took from his shoulders the gown
of tho novitiate and Invested them in the
uniform of the mllltnry. Soon after (his
I'mlllo Agulnnldo was drafted Into one of
tho native regiments of Luzon and became a
subaltern In his native laud, dominated by
Spanish captains and field ofllcers a part
of the machinery employed In the oppres
sion of his own people.
Serving quietly ns u minor olllcer In the
Spanish ranks, ho did not forget tho dreams
of his boyhood that at some time he should
be a leader union u the Tagalos. Ho know
his superiors wero plunderers of their own
government at Mudrld. He saw that the
Malay paid tho taxes, the resident officials
taking one-third of It nnd sending the re
maining two-thirds to Madrid. He knew
that the clergy received tllhis from tho
Malay, but that church and clergy alike
were for the SpanUh.
Taciturn, morose, keen to observe and
quick to resent sullen and vindictive, but
silent he watched and waited and served
on In tho army of Spain. In lSthS ho de
cided to wait no longer. He wan then 21
years old und had been trained for years as
a soldier. Ho decided to organize a revolt
against Spain among the native soldiers
serving with tho Spanish army, ami began
In his own regiment. Lieutenant Alexandre,
a brother Malay, became bis associate In
'he movement. Tho plot was developed In
scent aud u plan ot action agreed on,
This plan was announced to Spain, when,
early one morning, every SpanlBh officer in
the regiment was shot down on the parade
ground, except a few insignificant lieu
tenants, nud the Malay soldiers In the regi
ment hid In the tangled depths of tho
Bnvunnaa the brad awampa through which
ho soldiers In General Otis' army have
been fighting their way" against this saino
leader ot the Malays.
This was the beeiuutug ot tho carc-r of
I'mlllo Agulnaldo on his own aceouut as a
soldier and a leader. He organized an army
of between 1,000 and MOO natives, estab
lished headquarters, and began to mako for
the Spanish residents a reign of terror. On
every Spaniard ho was ready to vent the
hatred for Spain that had been growing
within hint for fifteen years. Ho had seen
the ears of bis own pcoplo cut off by Span
iards who called themselves Christians. He,
tn turn, chopped off Spanish heads. He had
seen the priests bless Spanish soldiers set
ting out on murderous missions against his
own people, and without scruple usbiihsI
nated priests and soldiers alike, only that
they were Spanish. Ho followed out the
lc3sons he had learned in a long training.
I'llee Put on 111m lleml.
Basslllio Augi.Rtl y Davlla was the polit
ical governor of tho Philippine Islands at
that time. Rlvora was captain general.
Augustl offered $20,000 for the head of Agul
naldo. Tho answer ho received to this
tender was a nolo from the rebel lender
hiuibclf :
"I need tho sum you offer much and will
de'lver the head myself."
Augustl laughed. Ten days later he met
Agulnnldo. He paid him $20,000, but did, not
recelvo the head,
Tho tlmo for tho meeting was a stormy
night a typhoon raging, Augustl sat lu
his palace engaged ou a report of the con
dition ot the Island. A priest passed the
sentinels at tho entrance to the palace nnd
undisturbed entered Augustl's room. He
stopped Just back of that olllelnl's chair
with the words: "Peace bo with you, my
son."
When Augustl, surprised, had turned his
hend the priest's mantle was dropped, and
there stood Agulnaldo, In his hand a twenty
Inch nolo, the terrible knife of the Malay.
"I have brought the head of Agulnnldo."
said the rebel, thumbing the edge of his
blade,, "anil 1 claim the reward. Hasten,
else I shall have to expedlate matters."
Augustl had no alternative. He opened
his desk nnd from It took .fSO.OOO In gold,
which ho gave to Agulnabln. The latter In
turn handed him u receipt, counted the
money, walked backward to tho door, and
bolted. A pistol bullet from the weapon ot
the enraged Augustl cut the hair over Agul
naldo's temple, but ho escaped unscathed.
Tnl.en lli'llie In tin .lny.
A short tlmo after this Captain General
Pelavleja offered Agulnaldo and Alexandra
$200,000 each If they would leave Luzon for
ever. ICach was to have a free pardon, nlso,
for pnat offenses. Tho two accepted the
offer, only to learn after they received the
money that they were to be assassinated
tho following night at a festa. The next
night enme, but the two men engaged to
kill the Insurgents vsrro found dead In their
beds with knives driven through their
hearts, and attached to the handle of each
was r. bit of paper bearing the inscription:
"Bownro of tho Malay's vengeance."
I'olavieja resigned and returned to Spain,
nnd, Rlvrrn going as well, Augustl became
the captain general of tho Islands. He made
no headway In tho effort to bubduo Agul
naldo. The revolt of the natives was grow
ing every day, when the victory of Dewey
ended Spanish power at Mauiln.
When Agulnaldo first revolted his follow
ers weio without arms. He subsequently
armed n portion of them from the bodies of
the Spanish soldiery whom they overcame

After Agulnnldo and Alexandra had re.
celved their $200. eoo each from tho Span
lards they quit tho Philippines and went
over to Hong Kong, and later to Singapore.
It was when Dewey, then commodore, was
preparing in leave this port to carry out
tho orders of tho I'ulted States government
to find and destroy the Spanish fleet that
Dewey and Agulnaldo first mot.
Howard Bray, an 'Englishman whose name
Iria been mentioned recently In eablo dis
patches In connection with nn alleged plot
to assassinate Admiral Dewey on his way
home, was then at Singapore. Ilu took Agul
naldo to Spencer Pratt, American consul
general at Singapore, and made arrange
ments for an Interview with Dewey, In
that Interview Agujnaldn was led to pledge
himself to art In conjunction with Dewey In
tho expulsion of Spain from tho Philip
pines. Subsequently tho Malay leader left
Singapore secretly on a British steamship
and returned to Luzon,
it wna on December 14, 1S!)7, that Agul
naldo accepted the offer ot $200,000 to leave
the Islands, and was betrayed to death,
though ho escaped, Kroni then until his
return nfter the conference at Slugapore it
Is not known that he wus In the .stands,
though he was constantly -.munlcatlou
with tho Insurgents who were still fighting
against Spain.
In Man of S inn 1 1 Multirc.
Agulnaldo was Fmall of stature, dark,
with quick, furtive eyes, smooth face, sharp
reatures nnd alert in his manner. Had he
been seen on the streets of an American
city beforo his features becamo familiar
through the printing of his pictures he In
all probability would have been mistaken
for n Japanese student or artisan, for In
general build and color he strongly re
sembled tho Japanese, aa do many of the
more Intelligent Malays, His generalship
snowed itself in a resolute chin und over
shot Jaw. There was In his face something
or the expression of a bulldog. Among the
natives it was aid ho never slept, and
whntover the verdict of history may be re
gardlng his actions, ho will be credited at
least with ability In carrying out his ends
hardly to bo expected in a native ot a half
barbarous race. In his personality anil ap

by natives he could hire neither enrts nor

"Formation, Not Reformation." was the
thought which Pi of. John B. DcMotto em
phasized in his lecture last night tit Boyil s
theater. lie pleaded with his listeners to
assist young men and women In resisting
wrong and to bo less stem In the Judgment
passed upon missteps.
Prof. DeMottes lecture was one of the
numbeis In the Young Men's Christian na
Boclatlon course. The speaker was greeted
bv a laruo audience. "Python K.ggs," the
lecture which ho delivered las? night, hns
been heard In Omaha before, but It bears
repetition and wna enthusiastically re
celved.
The lecture was a psychological study of
habit. Models and photographs of the brain
wero shown. Brain cells of degenerates
and Imbeciles were compared with those
of persons ot moral strength. Great stress
was laid upon the developments which fac
ulties undergo when used and the lecturer
showed how easy It Is for young persons
to acqtllro proper habits when enre Is ex
ercised In Influencing their actions lu
early life.
"I sympathize with the work which Is
being carried on by reformers," said Prof.
De.Motte, "but the work of reformation
should begin beforo habit has enslaved
The world needs moro brain and nerve
training. Young persons should be equipped
with well-tralntd brains which will enable
them to avoid temptation. The python
eggs should be crushed, nnd then the world
need havo no fear of the snake."
