San Francisco, May 71. When Mrs.

asked for a cup of coffee and seemed
to be bright and comfortable. Her
condition was so much improved that
her physicians, after the consultation
at 8 o'clock, decided that it would not
be necessary to have another consul
tation until 8 p. m.
When Postmaster General Smith
called on the president he found the
countenance of the chief executive
exceedingly jubilant. The president
gleefully described the change In Mrs.
McKinley's condition as a transforma
tion. There was only a slight tenden
cy to the relapse that had been so
dreaded In the early hours of the
morning. She passed safely through
that crisis and awoke bright and
cheerful. She asked to be allowed to
wash her hands and asked for food.
The president said If she can hold
her own for 24 hours the crisis would
be passed. The physicians expressed
themselves as astonished at her re
markable show of vitality.
When M. H. De Young called Mr.
McKinley was most cheerful, and
stated to Mr. De Young If Mrs. Mc
Kinley continued to improve he would
attend the launching of the Ohio.
The president's return to Washing
ton largely depends upon Mrs. McKin
ley's Improvement. As soon as she Is
able to travel the president will take
her direct to Washington over the
route already announced. The presi
dent is greatly encouraged over Mrs.
McKinley's Improvement. '
The president personallyrequested
each member of his cabiib to keep
all engagements, and not to permit
the illness of his wife to mar the
pleasures of their trip. They have
been loth to do this, however.

silken flag with gold mounted staff
which they intended to present the
president in this city.
There has been no cabinet meeting
this week on account of Mrs. McKin
ley's Illness. A meeting will bo held
Monday afternoon at the Scott resi

AGUINALDO INJERyTeWUD.
Hub Little to Say Hut Suggests Strict
Coiiloiiiilty to Constitution.
Manilla, May 17. Agulnaldo, in an
interview, expressed the opinion that
the American government of the Phil
ippines, in order to be unquestionably
satisfactory, should conform strictly
to tho constitution. Asked whether
he considered the Filipinos capable of
exercising all the privileges guaran
teed by a literal interpretation and
application of the constitution, Aguln
aldo declined to express an op.nion.
Considering tho political and commer
cial future ot the archipelago Aguin
aldo was reserved. He said it was
hardly time to discuss it while in what
he considered to be captivity. Tho
military officials say he Is kept guard
ed principally for hl3 own protection.
Agulnaldo says that he knows of no
enemies, needs no protection, and is
willing to go out unattended if per
mitted to do so. He is said to be
pleased with the municipal law con
ferring full local self-government.
Concerning the provincial law, out of
which the governor Is the only elect
ive officer, .Agulnaldo was uncommu
nicative. It is not expected Agulnaldo will
continue to be prominent in Philippine
affairs, though his friends concede his
exceptional abilltes for leadership.
Nino now American judges called
on General MacArthur Friday. The
general said their duties are of
greater importance than those of an
of the officers who preceded them. Ho
commended the establishment of laws
and a just judiciary ahead of commer
cial activity.
