As the result of the campaigns conduct- ed by Generals Lawton, MacArthur and others the rebel leader's forces had been badly scattered during the two years of | guerrilla warfare. Aguinaldo himself, at- { tended by a comparatively small band of followers, fled to the mountains and for a year his actual whereabouts had been more or less a mystery. Major March with a detachment of the Thirty-third Regiment overtook what was | believed to have been a portion of Agui- naldo’s escort last June. A fight followed, in which several were killed. but the wily leader, if indeed he were with them, agaln { made good his escape.

His face is highly intelligent and derives its character ly from his plercing black eyes. He always dresses neatly; so much £0, indeed, that he has been acc of foppery, and the golden whistlé which he is said to have worn habitually about his neck has been subject of many a jest.

P. Morgan. ARCHBISHOP TIICHAEL A CORRIGAN i —_— ILKESBARRE, Pa., March 27.—A call has been issued by President Mitchell of the United .Mine Workers of America for a meeting to be held in this city on Friday morning at 10 o'clock of the presidents and secretaries and executive boards of the three Penn- svlvania anthracite districts. President Mitchell and three members of the na- tional executive board will be in attend- ance and report on their visit to New York.

Phillips, acting as_chairman, held a conference to-day with J. P. Morgan in the private office of the latter in this city.

March 28.—Governor Stanley of Kansas, who was the guest of honor at a banquet here last night, was awakened this morning at 1:30 in his rooms at the Royal Hotel and told that General Funston had captured Aguinaldo. He sald:, “I am very glad, T am sure, to hear the news. I am more than glad to know that a Kensan was the instrument in securing the man. It was a great deed. Kansas has had many unkind remarks made at her expense recently and I hope those who have made them will now have words of praise for our State on account of Fun- ston's exploit. Kansas has reason to be proud of the achievements of her son.” “What effect will this have on the Phil- ippine trouble?" “I think that it will cause the disturb- ances in those districts to cease. With their leader captured it will be dishearten- uinaldo’s followers. m‘g'llgn‘?{-ery sure that all of the people of Kansas will be as glad as I am to hear that General Funston has captured uinaldo. His adventure was watched th interest and much anticipation and the successful termination of the enter- rise will cause rejoicing not only in ansas, but over our entire nation.” Lieutenant Admire, who 1s one of the ten men with General Funston, is a son J. V. Admire, receiver of the King- fisher Land Office, former editor of the Osage City (Kans.) Free Press. Lieuten- ant Admire enlisted in this city for. ser- vice in Cuba and then went to the Philip- pines. ERYAN AWAITS FURTHER NEWS Not Yet Ready to Talk in Reference to the Capture.

CALL BUREAU, 406 G STREET, N. ‘W.. WASHINGTON, March 27.—While the Senate Committee 1s preparing to Investi- gate the charges of a combination of Gov- ernment officials to influence the regula- tion of hemp exports from the Philippines a scandal has broken out in connection with the Havana cusioms. It is charged that blackmail on an extensive scale has been collected in Havana by persons de- claring their ability to influence the War Department. The report from Havana that a gas company of that city had pald $40,000 in commissions within the last two years to have the tariff on crude petro- leum adjusted satistactorily cannot be positively confirmed in Washington. It is understood, however, hy persons who are well informed as to what {s going on in Cuba that money was paid to some one who said he couldl influence the action of the War Department. 'No_information has ever.come to the War Department,” sald Lieutenant Coi- onel Edwards, chief of the bureau of in- sular affairs, “as to the alleged payment of this money. If the company paid this amount,. or any other amount, whoever received it had nothing to do with bring- ing about a change in the tariff on pe- troleum, and the gas company never ap- Reared By attorney before the department. heé only person with whom the depart- ment had correspondence on the subject, with the exception of the customs officials in Cuba, were T. J. Hayward of Balti- more, president, and J. Bacardi of Ha- vana, vice president of the company.” Lieutenant Coloncl Edwards sald that General Wood, by direction of the Sec- “""7%. of War, issued an order restoring the T0-cent duty and no such petroleum had actually paid a higher rate. He said the company had not been represented in the matter by an attorney and there was no occasion for the payment of any money to any one to secure a correetion. y an executive order which will g0 into’ effect on April 1 the petroleum tariff is again revised, the only chinge being an increase 611 to $3 50, which of the raté of refine: is bigher than the present rate, though $170 less than is wanted by the refiners. A statement is being prepared in the in- sular division giving all the details of these tariff changes with all the corre- ondence, and the officials say it will show a perfectly clean record. HAVANA, March 27.—Bstes G. Rath- bone, former Director General of Posts in Cuba, will be given an opportunity to se- cure ancther bondsman before the order for his rearrest is carried out.

WAR CLAIMS AMOUNT TO THIRTY MILLIONS | American Commission Receives the List of Demands, Several of Which e Call for Large Sums. WASHINGTON, March 27.—The Spanish ‘War Claim8 Commission, of which former | Senator Willlam E. Chandler of New Hampshire is president, has received from the State Department a full list of the claims against Spain growing out of the | insurrection in Cuba, which were filed in the department up to the 15th of the pres- ent month. These claims are all those of American citizens, for under the treaty of Paris the govertments of the United States and Spain undertook to adjust claims of their own citizens. The grand total of the claims is about $30,000,000, and included in the list are five claims in excess of a million dollars. The largest single claim is that of John W. Brock, on account of property losses, esti- mated at $2,162,514. Mrs. Rulz, widow of | the dentist who was killed in a Havana prison, is a claimant for $75,000.

It is reliably reported that at a Minis- terfal committee meeting held in the pres- ence of Grand Duke Vladimir, command- er of the St. Petersburg garrison, the proposal to place the capital under mar tial law, should the indications presa further difficulties, was heatedly det ed. M.de Witte, the Finance Minister, was energetically opposed to the establis ment of martial law owing to fina reasons, not to mention the disastrous ef- fect Which it would have upon industry, commerce and the committee’s standing with foreign capitalists.

RATES ARE REDUCED BY GREAT NORTHERN Big Cut in the Price of Tickets From St. Paul Will Cause a General Slashing. ST.

The regular one- | way rate from St. Paul is now $50.

The Northern Pacific also announced that on July 6 it will place in effect a low first-class round-trip rate of $45 from St. Paul to Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. Small Battles Occur at Many Points With Slight Casualties. —— CAPE TOWN, March 27.—Indecisive en- counters at widely separated points are reported daily. Fighting took place yes- terday at Tarkastadt and Henningfon- tein, both in Cape Colony. The casualties were few. A commando numbering 200, under Commandant Fourie, was dispersed | at Thaba N'Chu. According to reports | received here, the hills above Dewetsdorp, just reoccupted by General Bruce Hamil ton, were also the scene of a fight last- ing several hours yesterday.
