With this the conference closed and I was notified that I was ander arrest, because I had not salsfactory credentials to support my claim to be a dona di cavoy. There were some who urged that I should be shot as a py, but the hamary of the Dictator prevented

that.

[Note by Translator-As to those suspicions of Buencamino's dona fide it was commonly

rumoured in Manila that several nativen were

ying to win the $25,000 offered by the Maalis sutherlites for the killing of Aguinaldo. Any such person, failing, to get near Aguinaldo any other way, might well try as in-anvey; and it range that Euercamino had no credentials. A suspect under sretat would write any sort of letter to his principal with a hope of conciliating bis captors.
