FIHST DAY OF WEDDED LIFE.
Michael Burnett nnd His Wife- En
counter Difficulties.
Yesterday morning Michael Burnett,
of Simpson, started down the viilloy
for the purpose of tailing unto himself
a wife. He met his love nt rittston
nnd proceeded to Wllkos-Barre, where
they wre married, when they alight
ed from the 6 o'clock train last even
ing Constable Neary served a warrant
on Burnett which had been Issued at
the Instance of his sister, Mrs. Michael
Snee. Tho warrant charged him wlt'i
having attempted to defraud her out
of a $80 board bill. Burnett gave ball
for his appearance before Alderman
Jones this evening.
But his trouble had only commenced.
When he reached Salem avenue he met
Mr. Snee, his brother-in-law, who pro
ceeded to pummel him to the extent of
JDO worth. The men were separated
before much damage had been done.
Thus far the bride had contented
herself by offering sympathy, but at
this stage of the game she concluded
to become more actively engaged In
her "hubby's," defense. She did not
engage In the fisticuffs, but went to
Alderman Jones after a warrant for
the arrest of Snee.
Mr. and Mrs. Burnett will go to
housekeeping at Simpson at once.

DRAMATIC CAREER OF
GENERALAGUINALDO
THE LEADER OF THE PHILIP
PINE INSURGENTS.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE ORIGIN
AND RISE OF THE MAN WHO
HAS CAUSED SPAIN AND MAY
YET CAUSE US A LOT OF TROU
BLE. Prom tht Times-Herald.
In nil but blood Agulnaldo Is Spanish
bred. Ho Is, but for his love of free
dom, n product of Spanish training,
Spanish education, Spanish govern
ment. But for tho Malay ferocity In
his veins ho Is tho child of Cnstlllo
and Aragon. Spain really ought not
to repudiate him as bitterly as she
does.
Agulnaldo Is not a Malny of tho pen
insula. His father was a native chief
of tho Philippines an Orang Malayu,
that Is, a Malay with a literature, a
religion, n culture pf his own. In this
way he was distinguished from the
Orang Bcuna, the Malay of the soil,
and the Ornng-laut, tho Malay of the
sea. The chief had ambitions for his
son. He gave him at a tender age to
tho Spanish priests of Luzon, with the
Injunction to educate him ns best they
knew. These men were only too glad
to take the boy. They were Spaniards
nnd ho n Malay. Tho Spanish popula
tion of tho Philippines was as a shadow
of n nlpa palm by the shade of a moun
tain cliff when faced by the 6,000,000 or
more Malay nnd Negritos of the Island.
Agulnaldo trained ns Spain would train
all true sons, foster or otherwise, would
return to his people nn apostle of the
cause of Spain. His Influence, the
priests argued, would be tremendous,
und must necessarily be exerted for tho
government which so beneficently edu
cated him'out of aboriginal savagery
Into that of culture and religion.
TURNS INTO A SOLDIER.
So the lad (this being sixteen years
ago) attended the local schools In and
about Manila nnd then wns sent to
Madrid to qualify for the priesthood.
There he learned many pious things,
texts from old Latin books, the compo
sition of tho shell of religion, the dif
ference between a saint nnd a captain
general, and the ecclesiastical right of
Spain to conquer all nboiiglnals by the
sign of the cross and the "ping" of a
Mauser.
This education was not without its
value to him. Ho learned to dlffern
tlate. He was an Orang Malayu, with
warm blood, a heart, an Inner con
sciousness. In many little things nnd
home great ones he was not ns refined
as we love to pride ourselves on being.
A Malay Is not nn American nor an
Englishman. He Is. if the wise may be
believed, an offshoot of the Mongolian;
he has n racial history nearly 2,000
years old, he has conquered and been
conquered, taken blood and given
blood. Agulnaldo was and Is of his
kind. He surprised the ancient theo
logical doctors of Madrid two years
nfter his nrrlvnl there by declaring
that he would not become a priest. He
would become a soldier, and, oppose
him ns they did, his determlnntlon
could not be altered. They took the
novltato's gown from off his muscular
frame and drafted him into one of the
native regiments of Luzon. He was n
subaltern In his native land, dominated
by Spanish captains nnd field officers.
DISTRUSTS WHITE PEOPLE.
It is not necessary to write that the
life of Spanish boldlers and ofllcers in
the Philippines has been but little dif
ferent from what it was in Florida two
centuries ago or in Mexico. Dead
women cannot speak, tortured children
become dumb, the lash of thieving, ras
cally taxgatherers breeds silence but
cannot extinguish thought. Malay In
dependence In the Philippines has been
a dream with the Orang Malayu for
generations. Agulnaldo, serving quiet
ly ns a minor ofllcer In the Spanish
ranks, had his dreams. His superiors
wero plunderers of their own govern
ment. The Malay paid tho taxes, the
resident officials stole one-third of these
nnd two-thirds were sent to Madrid.
How could Agulnaldo respect tho gov
ernors? Tho clergy received tithes
from the Malay, but the church and
the nltnr were for the Spnnlard.
Agulnaldo, aboriginal and partially
civilized man, was not blind. He is
from all accounts a man of taciturn,
undemonstrative disposition, not given
to outward manifestations of joy or
sorrow, extremely courteous to all men,
kind to women, children and animals.
He Is slow and deliberate of speech,
never elated or depressed, Impassive,
and, save In times such as these, indo
lent. Processes of thought were and
are slow with him. He is not trustful
of the white races and has no reason
to be, something students of him nnd
his people nre npt to overlook. Russia,
England, Germany, Spain, have given
the races of Asia little cause to be
llevc in a Christian's God or a Chris
tian's word. Of modern civilized na
tions tho United States Is the one.alone,
which has never broken faith with the
Asiatic nations nor plundered for con
quest's sake.
BEGINNING OF THE REVOLT,
All this Asulnaldo knew ten years
ago. He knew It when In 189G, then 24
years of age, he organized In tho na
tlvctroops of tho 'Philippine Islands the
revolt against Spain. His associate In
this was Lieutenant Alexandro, a
brother Malay, Most characteristic
wns tho wav in which they announced
their secession from the flag of Spain,
Americans shudder over the details, but
they are no more terrible than Captain
Jack's destruction of Canby of- the fall
of Custer. Both of these last tragedies
were legitimate outgrowths of bru
tality and oppression on tho part of
the dominant race.
Agulnaldo's regiment one bright
morning shot down on the parade
ground every Spanish ofllcer In com
mand, save a few Insignificant lleu
ants. Then the rebels hid In the sa
vannasswamps nnd tiackless pral
rlen. Agulnaldo established a head
quarters, organized 4,000 or 5,000 na
tives Into regiments, planned raids on
rich settlements, and; Inaugurated for
Spanish residents a reign of terror. He
had seen the ears of his own people
cut off by Christian Spaniards; In turn,
he chopped off Spanish heads. He had
seen the priests bless Spanish murder
ers (In soldier garb), and he assassin
ated the priests. He gave to Spain the

medicine which for nges she had given
his people. In our civilization wo do
not approvo of this, but Agulnaldo Is
not tho grndunto of nn American col
lege, nor tho child of anything but a
Malay father nnd Spanish Institutions,
lie wnllts In his own light.
HIS BRAVING OP AUGUSTIN.
Basllllo Augustln Davlln. wns the po
litical governor of tho Philippine is
lands at that time. Rivera was captain
general. Augustln offered $20,000 for
tho head of Agulnaldo. The nnswer he
received to this tender wns n note
from tho rebel leader himself:
"I need tho sum you offer very much
and will deliver the head myself."
Augustln, who Is pomposity Itself,
laughed. Ten days laten he met Aguln.
nldo. Ho raid him J20.000, but .did not
receive his head.
The time of the meeting wns a stormy
night a typhoon raging. Augustln it
in his palace engaged on a report of
the condition of the Island. A priest
passed the sentinels nt the entrance to
the palace and undisturbed entered
Augustln's room. Ho stopped Just
back of that oniclal's chair with the
words: "Peace bo with you, my son."
When Augustln, surprised, had
turned his head the priest's mantle was
dropped, nnd there stood Agulnaldo, In
his hand a 20-Inch bolo, tho terrible
knife of the Malay.
"I have brought the head of Aguln
aldo," said the rebel, thumbing the
edge of his blade, "and I claim the
reward. Hasten, else I shall have to
expedite matters."
Augustln had no alternative Ho
opened his desk and from It took $20,000
lntgold, which he gave to Agulnaldo.
Tho latter In turn handed him n re
ceipt, counted the money, walked back
ward to the door and bolted. A pistol
bullet from the enraged Augustln cut
the hair over a temple, but ho escaped
unscathed.
A short time nfter this daring feat
Captain General Polavleja, about as
wise a man ns Augustln Is, offered
Agulnaldo nnd Alexandro $200,000. each
If they would leave Luzon forever.
Each was to have a free pardon, also,
for past offenses. The two accepted
the offer, only to learn after they re
ceived the money that they were to be
assassinated the following night at a
festa. Tho next night came, but the
two men engaged to kill the insurgents
wero found dead in their beds with
knives driven through their hearts, and
attached to the handle of each was a
bit of paper bearing the Inscription:
"Bewnre of the Malay's vengeance."
Polavleja resigned and returned to
Spain and, Rivera going ns well, Au
gustln became the captain general of
the Islands. Ho made no headway In
tho effort to subdue Agulnaldo. Tho
revolt of the natives was growing ev
ery day, when the victory of Dewey
forever ended Spanish power at Manila
nnd made It possible for the Insurgents
to once moro be rulers of their own
land.
Many reasons exist for thinking that
England was anxious that the Philip
pines should pass from Spanish con
trol .even before Dewey came. When
Agulnaldo first revolted his followers
were without arms. He subsequently
armed n portion of them from the bod
ies of the Spanish soldiery whom they
overcame with the bolo. But myster
ious vessels came out of the sea bearing
other arms and ammunition, and these
were surteptltlously delivered to the
Insurgents without anyone discovering
whence they came. English commer
cial interests have always been sus
pected of having provided these sup
plies, but Spain. has never been able to
prove It.
DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
In Washington, whatever be tho out
come of the advantage this country
now has at Manila, there Is a most
kindly feeling for Agulnaldo nmong
those familiar with Luzon. He Is of
a rnce capable of frightful ferocity, a
race which, when stirred to excitement,
runs "amuk," a people fond of gamb
ling, of head hunting. The race is pre
destined to be dominated by the English-speaking
people of England and
America, but until that time comes,
until tho baleful Influence of the Latin
races Is fully removed, it Is well to re
member the words of this man spoke
last June at Cavlte:
"I am of and for my people. This
land, the water upon It, the sky above,
the forest and all within, the mountain
and that upon it, is ours. We do not

FLEMISH WINS A VICTORY.
End of n Long Struggle for the Rec
ognition of the Language in Bel
gium. By the national census of 1S90 In
Belgium there wero a that time 2,744.
271 Inhabitants speaking tho Flemish
language, and that language only.
There were 2.4S5.072 Inhabitants of Bel
glum who spoke only the French lan
guage. There were 700,907 Inhabitants
who spoko both French and Flemish,
2,206 inhabitants who spoke German
only, 58.5S0 Inhabitants who spoke
French and German, 7.02S Inhabitants
who spoko Flemish and German. 36,
185 who spoke Flemish, French and
German, nnd 4,972 who did not speak
any of the three. The last were presu
mably foreigners, though the number
of foreigners In Belgium has never been
large, despite the country's close prox
imity to England, France and Ger
many and Its close business relations
with tho first. Tho Flemish Inhabi
tants of Belgium, who, while not num
bering so many ns all the other Inha
bitants combined, are the largest ele
ment of the population, havo for a
number of years been protesting
against what they consider the dis
crimination ngaliibt them In the accep
tance of French as tho official lan
guage of Belgium. The royal family of
Belgulm Is French; the capital, Brus
sels, is a city where French is gener
ally spoken, and nearly all the public
business of the country has been con
ducted In that language, without such
recognition of Flemish ns those who
speak it think It Is entitled to. There
has, In consequence, been a long agita
tion for the recognition of Flemish, nn
ngltatlon carried on under difficulties,
for until a few years ago, Belgium nnd
a limited suffrage nnd the Flemish in
habitants of tho country, most nu
merous In tho rural districts, havo been
generally outvoted by the French
speaking residents of the largo cities.
The Flemish people possess many of
the dogged characteristics which have
been marked In their neighbors, tho
Dutch, and when, n few years ago,
tho suffrage was extended In Belgium,
they deemed their opportunity for rec
ognition to be at hand.
Recently, as a result of this long con
troversy, Flemings have at last forced
the Belgian senate, reorganized under
the amended national constitution of
1893, to give equal rights to their lan
guage. When the Belgian kingdom
wns created, many people predicted
that France would ultimately annex
Belgium. The Increase of Teutonic
prestige, roupltd with the great an
nual Increase of the Flemish popula-
l tlon, has pushed the French element

not to substitute Flemish for French
as tho olllelnl language of Belgium, but
to accord Flemish a larger recognition
In court proceedings and In public an
nouncements, publishing the latter In
both languages. Tho Flemish Inhabi
tants have been helped In their agita
