HE LIVES
AGUINALQO PRACTICALLY A
HERMIT IN MANILA
FEARS ASSASSINATION
Rebel Chief is Never Seen on
the Streets
CHICAGO, Jure 4.—William E. Cur-
tis writes as follows to the Record-
Herald from Manila:
Aguinaldo. leader of the late revolu-
tion, 1h living very quietly In a humble
cottage of bamboo and palm leaves at
461 t'ajle Krai, lti the l.'nnlta district
of the city. His nearest neighbor Is
James Smith, of the commission, who
lives next door, and until Judge Taft
vacatcd the Malacanan palace of the
governor general, Judge Wright resided
Immediately across the street, so that
the revolutionist has been surrounded
by gcod society and proper influences.
Judge Ambler, of Salem, O., one of
the judges of the provincial court, Is
another near neighbor and sees Aguln-
aldo quite frequently, while Rev. James
B. Kodgers, a Presbyterian mission-
ary, lives a little way down the street
and la numbered among Agulnaldo's
friends. The latter, however, lies very
low. He remains almost in seclusion.
He seldom leaves the cottage and is
never seen upon the streets. If it Is
necessary for him to go to any other
part of the town he always takes a
closed carriage and Grangers who call
upon him are very carefully Inspected
before they are allowed to see him. Oc-
casionally he visits the old town of
Cavlte, about eighteen miles from Ma-
nila, where his family have a planta-
tion and where his mother Is living.
She Is said to be a woman of remark-
able traits and strength of character
and was his Inspiration and chief ad-
viser during the revolution.
Agulnaldo's seclusion Is attributed to
fear of assassination. During the in-
suri ctlon he was guilty of acts of
atrocious cruelty upon persons whose
friends still survive and ordered sev-
eral assassinations, particularly that of
General Luna, one of his rivals, and
who was a great favorite with the pub-
lic Tlhd had many loyal and devoted
ndmlrecs. There is also an Impression
among many of Agulnaldo's former as-
sociates that he profited financially
during the Insurrection, while they
lost and forfeited everything they had.
The Filipino Is a revengeful and vin-
dictive creature, and does not hesitate
to take vengeance into his own hands.
. Hence Agulnaldo Is said to be continu-
ally on his guard, and the police au-
thorities would not be surprised any
moment, even at this day, to learn
17 his assassination. When he was re-
leased fiOm prison he was exceedingly
-ervous and apprehenvise, and would
live preferred to remain under the
'rotectlon of the military. Since that
. Jme no notice has been taken of him.
•Je has been treated like an ordinary
£iulve, and everything that might ex-
Dte sympathy for or attract attention
\> him h:«s been avoided. He has been
invited to public functions like other
prominent Filipinos, and when Judge
Taft gave a reception to the natives
Agulnaldo was never overlooked. He
seldom availed himself of these cour-
tesies, however, and has avoided
crowds and public demonstrations for
the reasons I have given.
The police have kept him under seini-
survellance—that Is. they have observed
( his movements and have known his
wherenobuts at all times. As long as
he remains In the city he is not
watched, but when he leaves Manila
they make It a point to learn where
he goes and with whom he communi-
cates. For a while after his release
they watt hed him closely, but his con-
duct has been most exemplary. He
has been tempted on several occasions.
Conspirators have endeavored to Inter-
est him in their plots; San Miguel,
Filar, Rlcarte and other "Insurrectos"
have tried to secure his sympathy and
co-operation, but he has never respond-
ed to their advances, and the secre*
service people say that he has allowed
their letters to remain unanswered.
He has scrupulously avoided doing
anything that could excite suspicion,
and Is prcctically cut off from all his
old friends and associates.
Agulnaldo's pecuniary circumstances
ore a matter of some curiosity, lie
does nothing aud earns nothing. He
spends most of his time In Idleness,
which is the easiest thing a Filipino
can do. They are natural loafers, lie
lold me that he was Studying political
Economy, and perhaps preparing him-
self to be of service to his country In
the event that he should ever be
called upon. He prepared an elabor-
ate scheme for a system of railways
through Luzon, and a comprehensive
plan of finance, which was a good deal
like the subtreasury scheme prepared
by Kansas populists some years ago.
1'nder It the government was to issue
$100,000,000 In paper currency, which
was to be loaned as working capital
to farmers, miners, business men, man-
ufacturers, and anyone "else who was
willing to assist in the development
and commerce of the Islands, anil the
4 per cent Interest collected annually
upon those loans was to pay the ex-
penses.of.the government. This project
was submitted to Judge Taft and was
doubtless laid by him before the iom-
mlsslon, but it was not adopted.
Agulnaldo complains that its r?<$iipl
was not even acknowledged, and feels
ouite •sensitive on the subject. Appar-
ently the Indifference of the commis-
sion concerning this benevolent Propo-
sition hurt him more than the collapse
ot his government, the overthrow of
his military power or the humilia-
tion of his capture.
Aguinaldo Is believed to have money.
He lg believed to have put aside a con-
siderable amount from hl;< war chest,
or from the $400,000 which he received
from the Spaniards as a price of peace
before the American 4nvaslon, but he
pretends to be very poor and shows no
signs of prosperity. His home Is
humble, and everything about It In
marked contrust to his ostentatious
display when president of a republlo
and captain general of an army. In
the United "States we would consider
his reSidertce as an evidence of great
poverty, but it Is an ordinary nipa hut
such as la occupied by middle class
Filipinos. There are four or five large
rooms, with "plenty of bamboo and
bent roc king chairs, and an antiquated
piano, a collection of china useful and
ornamental, upon a rac k of shelves, a
coop of c hickens In the back yard and
a luxurious growth of banana trees be
yond the inciosure.
1 called upon him three times and
endeavored to secure an Interview on
public topics, but, while he received
me with great eouretsy and apparent
pleasure, he was very reticent and
would not commit himself upon any
subject of Importance. At the first call
he asked me to give him a memoran-
dum of the points upon which 1 would
like his views, -and I did so. I asked
whether the present government and
Its administration were satisfactory to
him and to the people, and whether he
considered the triumphs of American
arms on the Philippines a blessing or a
disadvantage to those Islands. I re-
quested him to point out the mistakes
of policy and administration on the
part of the government at Washington
and the officials at Manila and explain
what course he would have followed
under the same circumstances. What
changes he would make In policy and
administration, what ought to be done
that was not done, and what he would
advise for the future. I asked his
opinion of the purchase of the friars'
lands and the price paid for them. 1
Inquired as to the significance of the
Ricarte outbreak; and as to the
strength of the anti-American element;
whether the constabulary of native
troops was to be relied UDon; and
whether there was any danger of an-
other insurrection. I asked him con-
cerning the extent, significance and im-
portance of the movement to organize
an independent Catholic church, and
as to the character, motives and repu-
tation of Aglipay, its leader; whether
he was a good man or not, nnd whether
he would advise the people to leave
the church of Rome and join in an
Independent organization. I asked him
what the Protestants were doing In the
way of missionary work and whether
they had accomplished or promised
any good for the people. There were
several questions concerning the effect
of public Improvements proposed by
the government, and the sueoess of the
new currency that has just been In-
troduced, and then 1 went Into person-
alities inquiring his opinion of Presi-
dent McKinley. President Roosevelt,
Judge Taft, Governor Wright and
others; and with these and other ques-
tions I conceived that I had- furnished
him a ground plan for an Interesting
Interview, which any gentlman of posi-
tion and ambition would be glad to
have published. But nothing came
of It.
When I called the second time,- ac-
cording to appointment, he was ex-
ceedingly agreeable and expressed
great gratification at seeing me again.
He hoped that I was having a pleas-
ant visit, that I liked Mani'a and that
I would use my pen and personal In-
fluence for the welfare of his people,
but when we come down to business he
apologized for not having the Interview
ready for me. He had been Interrupt-
ed; a friend had been visiting him; his
attention had been districted for vari-
ous reasons, and he would have to ask
me to Indulge him a little longer.
When I asked him If he woul 1 have the
answers to my questions readv In an-
other week he replied hopefully; he
explained that he would like to con-
sult with some of his advisers as to
the propriety of publishing his views at
this time, and that It would be neces-
sary for him to obtain some Informa-
tion before he would be able to answer
some of the questions. I gov? him the
date of my departure, and he promised
to be ready before that time.
But when I made the third . all he
had nothing but regrets to offer, and
seemed to feel very much concerned
because he had not compiled with my
wishes. He offered various excuses,
and finally admitted that friends In
whom he had confidence considered It
Indiscreet for him to discuss public-
matters at this time. They had advised
him to let polities entirely alone.
When I asked If h«' had any message
for the American people he thanked
me for the suggestion, but said noth-
ing further. It was evident that he
had nothing to say and was too wise
to say It.
He referred pleasantly to his ac-
quaintances among the American col-
ony, arid seemed proud of the fact that
his boy had found a friendly reception
among the children of several American
officials and was attending an Ameri-
can school, and that his daughter was
expecting to enter one of the schools
next year. She was already taking
mush lei-sons, a fact of which we had
become painfully aware, for during the
entire interview the little damsel sat
at a piano in the next room iirul
thumped away at her exercises With
great vigor pnd assiduity.
Aguinaldo looks younger than hi. is.
He has the appearance of a boy. He
was born March 28, 1869, and is there-
fore SB years of age, but you would
judge that he was no more than 25. He
was teaching school at the little t

of Silan near Cavlte when the rebel-
lion against the friars In 181)0 broke
out, and Joined the revolutionists as a
sort of secretary or writer. He com-
posed their program and pronuncia-
mento, which is a wild exhortation to
the people, in most extravagant terms,
to take up arms and deliver themselves
from the tyranny of the monks. Tin-
rebellion was against the church rnther
than against the government, and that
has been the case with every outbreak
in the Philippines for a hundred years.
Almost every generation for more than
a century has attempted to overthrow
the ecclesiastical despotism under
which they have lived. In 1827. In 1844
and In 1872, when occurred the most
serious Insurrections of the last cen-
tury, the flame of rebellion was lighted
by natives who had suffered from the
exactions of the friars, and the mani-
festos were directed against the friars
rather than against the Spanish au-
thorities.
ln 1872 a learned Filipino priest
named Joseph Burgos organized a
movement to exclude the Spanish friars
from parish duties and demanding na-
tive secular clergymen tot the care of
souls. He drew upon himself the ven-
geance of the religious communities
who controlled the government, and
Dr. Burgos and three other native
priests who had Joined In the move-
ment, one of them 80 years of age,
were arrested and executed on the
l.uneta, the fashionable promenade
along the seashore.
This caused the outbreak. Just as the
revolution of 18Hfi was provoked by the
execution of Dr. Rlzal, a favorite poet
and physician, who Incurred the hatred
of the friars and was persec uted and
finally exei uted by their Influence. The
first manifesto was written by Aguin-
aldo, a literary triumph of which he
Is very proud, declares that
"We aspire to a government repre-
senting all the live forces of the coun-
try In which the most able, the most
worthy In virtue and talent may take
part without distinction of birth, for-
tune or race. We declare that no
monk or friar shall pollute the soli of
any part of the archipelago, and that
no convent or house of religious set lu-
slon shall he tolerated."
To emphasise their hatred of the
monks, the rebels, September 1,. 1896.
the second dy,y after the outbreak, at-
tacked a monastery and captured thir-
teen friars. Several of thrtn were tor-
tured In the most Inhuman manner.
One was cu.t up piecemeal, while he
was still living, the frock of another
was saturated with petroleum and set
on •flre. and Agulnaldo and his com-
rades roared with laughter while the
poor creature was trying to tear the

ESTATE
RUN BY A WOMAN
Margaret Smith Handles a Pay-
roll of $1,200 a Day
(New York Press)
From a mill girl to the manager of
property valued at millions of dollars.
From an employee at the call of the
factory whistle to the virtual boss of
a force of 400 servants on the largest
"landscape farm" In the United States.
From wages at the loom, which aver-
aged $40 per month under the most
favorable conditions, to a salary of
$5,000 a year and t'hrlstmas gifts of
blocks of profitable stock. From a
modest frame cottage to a granite
palace, with servants at her command.
And all within ten years.

the meteoric career of Margaret Smith

name to checks for thousands of dol-
lars every week—who runs JameB B.

Duke and the Smith girls "got togeth-
er" It Is difficult to ascertain. But
the girls are there on the farm—Mag-
gie uh manager and Kate as house-
keeper, under her sister's direction,
of one of the finest bachelor establish-
ments in this country. Miss MaoWll-
llpms, a cousin, assists Kate in the
management of the house.
Miss Maggie has her apartments In
the club. She associates with the
gnosts of Mr. Duke's week-end parties
when she chooses too. As a rule she
does not care much for society. She
Is interested in her books , in flowers,
In church work and in her duties on
the estate.
She and her sister are devout Roman
Catholics. They drive to Raritan to
the same church they ottended when
they were mill girls. Mr. Duke Is
what the neighbors around him call
a "roaring Methodist." It Is not that
Mr. Duke attends church regularly or
that his voice Is ever heard In pray-
ermeetlng. In fact he usually spends
Sunday ln driving over his farm and
looking over the work accomplished
during the week. But he helps Meth-
odists pay off their church debts when
he turns a deaf ear to the appeals of
other denominations.
Mr. Duke's Idea of charity Is to let
the other fellow do some of the work.
I His neighbors like him for It. For
| Instance when the mills were run on
half time last winter and he was asked
to do something to alleviate the pre
vailing distress he told Miss Smith to
get rid of hundreds of foreign labor-
I ers employed when he could not get
I others—and gave work to men with
I families to support who were living in
the neighborhood.
| He goes on adding acre upon acre nnd
| farm upon farm to his big estate. Be-
I fore the end of this year he expects
I to have 3,000 acres in his "farm."

Naboth's coveted vineyard again. The

Persons ^911 Id h^ guilty of. Hence
the mounte-I police.
These officers first went on duty last
Sunday. Six of them were consldeied
enough for a starter, but Maggie Smith
may Increase the number. They have
light gray uniforms an 1 helmets em-
broidered with gilt. The captain,
William Gulllck, Is one of the police
officers of Somervllle. All the private
mounted police have the authority of
deputy sheriffs.
There are two or three larger private
estates In this country than Mr. Dukes,
but none beautiful so much, ills farm
ns It stands today, and as it will when
finished, Is as much u triumph of the
expert gardner as is Central park.
Under the direction of Horatio Buck-
enhain, landscape engineer, the plans
have been Interspersed with hills and
lakes. Sparse patches of trees have
been transformed Into veritable wood-
lands, A spur of the Central railroad
of New Jersey runs through the farm.
The tobacco king has spent thousands
In building bridges for It conformance

ty-
Farm houses have disappeared
Crooked rural roads have given way to
miles of macadam drives. The lawns
nre decked with a profusion of stat-
uary In marble and bronze. Hug'
green houses are filled with tropical
foliage and fruits. Wide and deep
fountains receive showers of shimmer-
ing spray. The newness of the rustic
walls and cottage Is half hidden by
white clematis and violet wistnla.
Ferns and vines border the walks and
drives. One partlelar delight of the
owner Is an old-fashioned g.irden filled
with hollyhock, geraniums, peonies,
wall-flowers, lavender and plants that
our grandmothers were fond of but
which have not a very conspicuous
place in the modern gardens of million-
aires.
There Is a half a mile race track on
the farm, but it is not In use now. Mr.
Duke soon got tired of a stud. He Is
not fond of horses anyway, except for
driving. He went In for a private
race track because he was told it was
the proper thing to do; and he soon
found out that It was not. His stables
are as expensive as money can buy,
with a tall tower like an old castle.
The stalls for his horses are divided by
huge rugs, like tapestries In a parlor.
Costly pictures hang on the walls.
In the carriage house there Is every-
thing that could he Imagined In the
form of a vehicle, from a T cart to a
theatre bus. The absence of motor
vehicles Is conspicuous. In the city
Mr. Duke uses them. In the country
he believes In horses and carriages.
His guests may use them as freely ns
they choose. If they do not care to
drive alone there are plenty of grooms
to go with them.
The club house I' shaded by trees
and surrounded by broad piazzas. A
conservntory «t the west end, adjoin-
ing the music room, is filled with the
pick of the greenhouses. The walls
are hung with embroidered tapestries
bought In the famous marts of Europe.
The smoking room Is as roomy nnd
comfortable as the smoking cablri on
one of the big ocean* liners. There
are billiard rooms on the same floor
and bowling alleys in the basement.
Lighting and everything else that It
is possible to do by electricity Is so ar-
ranged. The magnetic spark figures
even In the cooking ranges and the
laundry work. The power house on
the farm can generate enough elec-
tricity force to run a trolley road.
There are no golf grounds.
If any of the guests wish lo accom-
pany Mr. Duke on his Sunday morn-
ing drive around the farm they have
to get up early. As a rule he likes to
take this unaccompanied except by
Mr. Buckenham. Mr. Buckenham,
besides laying out many fine landed es-
tates in England, was landscape engi-
neer for ("leorge Vanderbllt, the Have-
meyers, Whltelaw Held, William C.
Whitney and many other owners of
fine estates.
Ground Is already broken nnd con-
tracts 1^1 for a.new house on the farm,
which Is to cost Woo,000 without a
stick of furniture. Before beginning
on this Mr. Duke has waited to get
the layout of his artificial lakes, pri-
vate reservoir and a big dam that cost
alone $60,000.
The oWher of nil this mngnlficence
Is a bachelor. Society women wondor
why. Just as they do about "Silent
Smith.
How much does all this cost? Not
n penny less than $700,000 a year, the
way expenditures are running now.
The tobacco king has fixed no limit.
He buys what he wants as he can get
It, and evolves Improvements as he
goes nlong. It is no use to call upon
him In his Fifth avenue offices to talk
about his country estate. The man-
agement of that is left absolutely with
Maggie Smith. If the landscape engi-
neer wants 10,000 feet of new piping or
the gardner wants a few hundred
shrubs, or Kate Smith wants a new
set of crockery, requisition must be
made Upon Maggie Smith. She has

lines established by congress e;uuiot
be changed by territorial legislatures.
Should there be legislation at" the
coming session of the legislature and
county lines be changed anywhece in
the territory, It would simply result In
a controversy in the courts nnd we
would be confronted by numerous com-
plications when statehood comes* It
Is best to defer this matter until Ok-
lahoma become* a state. Then the Teg-
islature will have full authority to
make any changes In county lines
that It mny desire. There will he
many things to attend to and many
complications to adjust when state-
hood comes without the additional bur-
den of county lines controversies. It
would be unwise to attempt anything
of this kind at the next session of the
legislature, and. In my Judgment, the
members of the legislature will so view
the situation."
