Show AGUINALDO'S LIEUTENANTS. Murderers, Horsethlevos and Outcasts Says Father McKinnon. Washington, Oct. 27. One of the president's callers recently was the Rev. Robert McKinuon, known as "the soldier priest," the chaplain of the First California. He had a long interview with MY. McKinley, to whom he gave his views of the situation. Father McKinnon said of General Luna, who was killed by Aguinaldo's orderly while trying to break into the insurgent leader's quarters: "He was the most brilliant man in the insurgent army, and he was a murderer. He murdered his wife and mother-in-law in Paris and fled to the Philippines. "General Pio del Pilar," continued Father McKinnon, "who is said to have applied for a bribe, is a horse thief and convict and an all-around outcast. "The only really honest man who aided in the starting of the rebellion was Paterno, who was then a newspaper news-paper editor in Manila. He has repented re-pented and is probably back in Manila. He sent his family there before I left, and was expected to come himself as soon as he could get away from the insurgents. "One by one the insurgents' leaders are dropping away, and all their strength is concentrated in one man, Aguinaldo. Of the original number of leaders, but one of importance remains Mabino, the hunchback lawyer. Ma-bino Ma-bino is not much over four feet in height. He has an unenviable record and is as great a villian as the others." |
