Manlla, July 7.—As a result of the
proclamation of amnesty on July 4,
the guard of American soldiers has
been withdrawn from the house
where Aguinaldo lives in Manila, and
Lieut Johnson, Agulnaldo’s custodi-
an, brought the Filipino Sunday to
see General Chaffee.
It was the first meeting between
the American general and the leader
of the Filipino rebellion. Lieut. Will-
iam McKinley of the Seventh cavalry
was the Interpreter. Aguinaldo was
told that he was free to go anywhere
he pleased and General Chaffee asked
him if he hr.d any complaint to make
of American discourtesy or harshness.
He replied that he had no such com-
plaint to make. He told General
Chaffee that he was going to visit
friends at his home in Cavite province
and inquired what protection the
American authorities would afford
him. He seemed to be afraid to ven-
ture out
General Chaffee replied that Aguin-
aldo would get the same protection
as any other citizen.
The former Filipino leader then
asked General Chaffee to prevent the
cocourts from requiring him to testify
in civil suits.
General Chaffee replied that he had
no authority to grant this request and
advised Aguinaldo to make a social
call upon Acting Civil Governor
Wright This Aguinaldo said he
would go, but that he would go at
night ns he was timid about appear-
ing on the streets in daylight
The release of the former Filipino
leader has renewed speculation as to
possible vengeance upon him by
friends of Luna and his other ene-
mies. Luna was a Filipino leaner
whom Aguinaldo caused to be killed
In 1899. •

Pensacola, Fla.: A sensational story
of mutiny and murder on the high seas
is told by Capt McDonald of the Amer-
ican schooner Mary Sandford, which
has arrived here after an eventful voy-
age from Blueflelds, Nicaragua. During
the voyage one man was killed and the
crew were in almost constant mutiny,
clamorous for the blood of the man
who murdered their shipmate. First
Mate Nicholson was placed in jail soon
after the arrival of the Sandford in this
port
The Sandford left Blueflelds on June
24 and when four days out, Nicholson,
the first mate, killed a negro, a West
Indian, because he did not perform
some duties to suit the ideas of thq
mate. When Capt McDonald saw what
had happened he ran and overpowered
Nicholson, took the pistol from him
and threw it overboard. The mate
was then placed in irons and kept un-
der strict guard until the Sanford
reached the Tenaacola quarantine sta-
tion, where the United States marshal’s
office was told of the murder on the
high seas and Nicholson was brought
here and locked up. He will be given
a preliminary trial before United States
Commissioner Tunlson.
One of the ship’s officers stated that
immediately after the killing four West
Indian seamen, countrymen of the dead
man, openly resented the murder of
their mate and
Nicholson from

Oyster Bay, N. Y.: Montague
White, who has been long tn this coun-
try, principally In New York and
■Washington, as the representative of
theBoer cause, and W. E. Curtis of
Washington were the guests of the
president and Mrs. Roosevelt at lun-
cheon.
Only Incidental reference was made
to the late Boer war, but in the con-
versation during the luncheon the
party discussed reciprocity, particular-
ly with regard to Cuba.
The president indicated that he felt
that concessions were due Cuba from
thsl country, and expressed his convic-
tion that eventually not only the peo-
ple of the United States, but congress
itself, will vindicate the advocacy of
Cuban reciprocity. He believes that
in some form reciprocity relations be-
tween the United States and Cuba will
be established.
Rebels Defeated.
Panama: pen. Salazar, the governor*
of Panama, has received a dispatch
from Bogota, the capital, announcing
that Gens. Pedroja, Benito, Ulloa, Leal
and Teopoliogarcia and their staffs, to-
gether with Gem. Marin, a most im-
portant Liberal leader of the depart-
ment of Tolima, have laid down their
arms on account of guarantees offered
by the Bogota government
At Carmen, Gen., de Tacap defeated
the Liberal forces under Gen. -Monos,
killing or Wounding over 200 men. This
general also won a victory over the
forces of Gen. Garcia Rovera, thus, it
is claimed, rendering it useless to cause
any more bloodshed.
Matters of Interest that Have Recent
ty Come to Pass.
Twelve Killed.
Gloversville, N. Y.; A wreck which
occurred on the Mountain Lake rail-
road caused the almost instant death
of eleven persons and one victim died
In the hospital here.
The acident was caused by a combi-

ting away from the motorman and

rific speed. The brakes refused to

New York, July 9.—J. Pierpont Mor-
gan’s arrival here caused a great stir,
cables a Berlin correspondent. When
Mr. Morgan, accompanied by his
daughter, sauntered through Unter der
Linden he was easily recognized by his
resemblance to the pictures and car-
toons with which the German public
has been almost daily entertained.
At one of the news stands Mr. Mor-
gan lingered long enough to see a car-
toon of himself in Lustlge Blaetter,
showing him lying at full length over
a map of America and stretching out
his hand to England and Germany.
Asked about his meeting with the
kaiser, Mr. Morgan said: "I am very
sorry, but I can say nothing about the
kaiser. He was exceedingly courteous
to us. He’s a t eat man, for a fact."
Clement A. Grlscom, who was with
the party on board the Meteor, said:
"The Anglo-Saxon countries, the
United States, Great Britain and eGr-
many, are destined to rule the sea and
commerce. Germany is a growing na-
tion. The kaiser Is fully acquainted
with the relations between the trans-
Atlantic shipping company, which Mr.
Morgan has formed, and the German
steamship companies. In fact.the kai-
ser is acquainted with all the details
'and shows a marvelous grasp of cur-
rent affairs.
"While we were on board the Me-
teor he assumed charge and directed
like a life-long seaman; in fact, he
would h^ye led the Meteor in as win-
ner of the first prize except for the
large handicap given the boat.
“The kaiser sympathizes with our ef-
forts in doing away with unnecessary
competition between the various trans-
Atlantic lines and effecting economy.
"I have no doubt the kaiser is be-
coming more and more popular, not
onTy among his own people, but In
other countries. When Prince Henry
visited the United States, all of the
New York yacht clubs decided to make
a return by coming over to the meet-
ing at Kiel. I am sure that Jthe at-
tendance of an increasing number of
American yachts at Kiel is now cer-
tain.
"The kaiser expressed admiration
for Mr. Morgan. I think he believes
that the United States is a good coun-
try to model after. There is no reason
to fear rivalry, either, between Ger-
many and the United States from a
commercial standpoint. All may work
together for a common end.”
