The rebel leader and his entire swfl are now in Manila. General Funston employed a clever ruse to reach Aguinaido. His plan worked successfully, with the result that the head and front of the insurrection is now where ho will do no more harm to American in- terests Some months by American ago letters were troops showing adventure that the rebel leader was hiding in the northwestern part of the Island General Funston immediately conceived his bold plan to capture him and this received General MacArthur's approval. Two weeks ago he started from Maunila with Surgeon Major Harris, Captain Newton of the Thirty-fourth infantry, Lieutenant Admire _the Twenty-second infantry, Licutenart Michell of the Fortieth infantry, six vet- eran American soldiers and a number of | native scouts, all of whom were selected for their bravery and extensive knowledge of the country. General Funston and b near as possible to the place whe Agul- naldo was in hiding, with native scouts, and pas themselves off as insurgents who, haying capture eral Funston and other Americans, were conveying them tu Aguinaldo, captured beyond pe party landed as ny Thelr When the supposed prisoners were brought by their alleged captors before Aguinaldo they suddenly appeared in their true c! Tru acter, seized the Filipino and made thelr way back to the coast, where the gunboat Vicksburg, which had conveyed the party, mwalted their return. The adventure was a desperate one, as treachery was ulways possible, and General Funston had po abolute means of know- ing how many men Aguinaldo had with bim. It was possible that he would have enough (o overwholm the Americans and their native allles, but’ this did not deter the Americans. They accepted the risk with the result that Aguinaldo is now safe in the hands of the American military au- thorities. Darving ect N canful, MANILA, March 28.—General Frederick Funston's daring project for the capture of Aguinaldo in his hiding place in the prov- ince of Isabella, island of Luzon, has proved completely successful Aguinaldo captured there on March 23, The Uni Commander E. B, Barry ston and Aguinaldo aboard, this morning WASHINGTON, March OfMcial news of the capture of Aguinildo had not reached the War department up to a late hour to- night. The president had retired before the Assoclated Press bulletin arrived and will | hear the news for the first time in the | morning. The capture rd States gunboat Vieksburg, with General Fun- arrived here 3 of Aguinaldo will source of great satisfaction to the dent and his advisers. Coming so after the surrenders reported be a presi- soon by General MucArthur of promiuent Filipino officers and the successful establishment of civil local government by the Taft commis- #lon, they feel that the end of the rebel- lious warfare in thoe islands Is near at hand. With the expected collapse of further oppo- sitlon, which it is confidently believed will follow, the hope is expressed that it will uot be necessary to maintain such a large standing army o the islands as is now contemplated. What's to Be Dune with Him, The disposition of Aguinaldo, now that he bad been captured, will be an interesting | event. The possibility of his capture at | any time has been kept in view, und his | future has heen a matte formal discus- | sion here. It is not believed, howe that | any definite line of action was ever determ- fned on. The attitude of the government for a long time past has been one of com- parative indifference to Aguinaldo’s cap- ture, it having been determined to crush the rebellion without regard to his where- abouts His recent activity in directing the course of operations against the American forces | probably brought about the recent change in this attitude, As the leader of an the United may be tried insurrection against kovernment, Aguinaldo and execu! a lesser pun- ishment meted to him by executive clem- ency or complete amnesty extended. While the question of punishment rests with the wilitary authorities it is believed the pres- ident will make the matter one for determ- ination by the authorities here.

The lan- | guage appears to be similar to that used by Secretary Hay In the American protest The effect of the British actlon is to place the United States, Japan and Great Britain in formal opposition to the signing of a convention by China with any power, pend- ing the settlement of the Chinese trouble The course of Great Britain is the more significant from the fact that that govern- ment and Germany have a written alliance relating to Chinese affairs The concurrence of the protests probably explains why the Manchurian agreement has not been signed. There was no definite information received here today at the State department or at any of the foreign embassies to to whether the agreemeiit had | been signed or rejected. There was some- thing of a stir in diplomatic quarters over the report coming from official sources that the United States was considering the ad visability of addressing Russia directly on the subject. Heretofore the American ob- Jections to the Manchurian agreement have been addressed to China. Coples were fur- nished the Russian authorities, though the protest in form has been to China and not to Russia.

L. Hayward, ho thought it no more than right that the unexpired term should be awarded to another Otoe county man and hence cast his vote for Judge Paul Jessen instead of for D E. Thompson. This was the first instance of a departure by anyome wao had participated in the short caucus from the caucus cholce, but no one followed Arends out of the Thomp- son ranks. Judge Jessen received five votes altogether, the other four, however, being Evans Oleson, Steele and Whitmore, all known as pronounced antis, and de- creasing by that mumber tho size of the Hinshaw column. The absence of Gal- logly took another vote from Mr. Thomp- son, 50 that he stood at fifty-seven. The Rosewater total remained anchanged, although two transfers took place, Oleson and Spencer coming to him and Johnson and Stelnmeyer leaving. One went to Meiklejohn and the other to Baldrige, who also took VanRoskirk from Melklejohn, Currie, too, on the joint ballot lost Wenzl, Roing to Crounse, making, Crounse, Currle and Hinshaw seven each. ort for Second Ballot Fails, After the ballot had been announced an interesting spectacle was produced for the edification of the members and spectators, who were present in greater numbers than At any time, not excepting the first day of Joint gesslon. A motion to proceed to an- other bullot was Interrupted by a motion to adjourn, on which a roll call was or- dercd, pending which came a demand from the fusionists for a call of the housc. Scarcely had the hands been raised to sup- port this demand than it was moved ralse the call and, on viva voce vote, lieutenant governor declared the motion carried and the call raised. A dozen fu- slonists were on their feet to protest and to fnsist on roll call “The rules provide {members alone can raise |joint assembly,” shouted does the chair know that sixty-seven have call? ““The decision of the chair is questioned,” dryly responded Licutenant Governor Say- a to the that sixty-seve all of this Taylor. “How without a roll call voted to raise the age. “The clerk will call the roll on the appeal from the decision of the chair.

The fallure of the effort today, even though it may have boen designed only to put the different clements on record, indicates, it it indicates anything at all, that it is not safe to count on continugd balloting in Joint session because It can be too readily headed off. The fusionists are apparently solid for closing the contest without an tion and could hardly be expected to co- operate in any plan for the republicans to thresh out their differences in any such manner. Unless the so-called antls change their minds, they would be apt to vote for immediate adjournment rather than to risk miscarrying their opposition campalgn, Belated Ca » Another belated caucus agreement put out this morning, being circulated Representacive Brown, who has refused ater the existing short caucus.
