We first asked the local authorities to have her sent to Manila, but the presidente and the police declined to act.

We then applied for a warrant to the Filipino judge of the court of first instance having jurisdiction over Taytay, but that worthy official found it convenient to be suddenly called out of the province.

At last we prevailed upon soldiers of the Philippine constabulary to arrest the queen and bring her to Manila.
We had anticipated that she might prove insane, but she showed herself to be a very keen-witted young woman.

We employed her at the San Lazaro Hospital to look after cholera patients.

The people of Taytay were not satisfied, and a few days later a large delegation of them came to Manila and demanded the Queen.
