Conceive, then, of the young man's amazement when roused from such meditations by Carmagnola's cry: "Serenissimo, the palazzo is on fire, or the old Doges have risen from their tombs! There are lights in the windows of the upper floor!" Prince Emilio fancied that his dream was realized by the touch of a magic wand.
She had a desire to chastise thought by strong, bracing action. "I rather want to send a note to Don Emilio." "Si, Signora." His voice did not sound pleased. "It is too hot to row all the way to Naples. Couldn't you go to the village and take the tram to the hotel if I write the note?" "If you like, Signora."
In my presence Lawton said to Otis that if the latter would give him two regiments, would allow him to arm, equip and provision them to suit himself, and would turn him loose, he would stake his reputation as a soldier, and his position in the United States Army, on the claim that within sixty days he would end the insurrection and would deliver to General Otis one Emilio Aguinaldo, dead or alive.
"Mr. Pratt arose and 'proceeded, speaking in French, says the newspaper it does not say Alabama French, but that is doubtless what it was 'to state his belief that the Filipinos would prove and were now proving themselves fit for self-government. The gentleman from Alabama then went on to review the mighty events and developments of the preceding six weeks, Dewey's victory of May Ist, 'the brilliant achievements of your own distinguished leader, General Emilio Aguinaldo, cooperating on land with the Americans at sea, etc.
In a letter written by A. Flores, acting secretary of war, to the military governor of Tarlac on October 27, 1899, there occurs the following: "In the United States meetings and banquets have been held in honor of our Honourable President, Don Emilio Aguinaldo, who was pronounced one of the heroes of the world by Mr. Bryan, future president of the United States.

Jusserand, the French Ambassador, and Senor Don Emilio de Ojeda, the Spanish Minister.
"Presently he turns over, and he is face to face with the dreadful frown of the senator, who holds a dagger. He hears the blade plunged into his mistress' heart. She dies smiling on him; for she has saved him. "And she is a happy woman!" added the Duchess, looking at Emilio. "He escapes and flies to command the Dalmatians, to conquer the Illyrian coast for his beloved Venice.

Aguinaldo himself frankly advocated the use of deceit. He practised what he preached.
Present me, Emilio! I have presented you to all my friends." "Mio caro, you have made me your debtor for life." "It isn't true!" "Indeed it is true. But I do not know who these ladies are. They may be Italians. They may be tourists. Perhaps to-morrow they will have left Naples. Or they may come from Sorrento, Capri. How can I tell who they are?" The Marchesino suddenly changed. His ardor vanished.
