The delegation regard thejr interview as encouraging and hope to see the Kansas man made a brigadier gencral in the reg- ular establishment, but its members were careful to say that the President gave them no promise nor any indication as to his intentions in this regard. They would not be surprised, however, i£ considerable opposition to giving Fun: ston a brigadler generalship should de- velop at the War Departmont. There is no disposition in the regular establizh- ment to belittle General Funston's ex- ploit, especially since the receipt of Gen- eral MacArthur's dispatch giving full crédit to Funston, but there would natur- ally be opposition there to jumping a vol- unteer officer 35 years of age into the grade of brigadler general, and the Kan- sag delegation recognize this fact. RERAL Sk ia AGUINALDOS SHIFTY WORDS. Makes Contradictory Statements ‘While Being Taken to Manila. NEW YORK, March 20.—A Sun cable from Manila says: While he was being brought here by his captors on the gun- boat Vicksburg Aguinaldo said that in June, 189, he, together with a number of his officers, swore to prosecute ine war as long as they lived. He considered this oath inviolate and had intended to live up to it. Later he declared that he desired peace from the outbreak of hos- tilitles, and if he was convinced that a majority of his followers desired the ces- sation of the war he wouid use every means In his power to accomplish tais end. These two statements are characteristic of the shifty nature of the Filipino leader. Aguinaldo, in the course of conversation on the gunboat, said that he had never been in a single battle, a_statement whicn mai. perhaps, be true. He admitted that he had ordered the assassination of Gen- eral Luna, giving as Lis reason that the security of the Filipino cause demanded General Luna’s death. It is reported that the Spaniard, Segovia. an ex-insurgent who recently acted as neral Funston's interpreter, who gave valuable assistance to the expedition which resulted in Aguinaldo's capture, will be recommended for a commission as an officer of native troops. The other three ex-insurgents officers who took part in the expedition are known to have re- cetved heavy money rewards. SURRENDER OF INSURGENTS. MacArthur Reports the End of Trou- ble on Mindanao. ‘WASHINGTON, March 29.—An import- ant @ispatch was recelved at the War De- pertment to-day from General MacArthur at Manlla, dated to-day. It did not refer to Aguinaldo or Funston, but in the opin- jon of the War Department officials it went far to IUDKOI'( the prediction made by General MacArthur in yesterday's dis- patch relating to those two leaders, to the effect that the end of the rebellion is near at hand. This dispatch chronicles the suirender of a considerable additional number of insurgents and military arms, and the important feature of it 'is that the surrender marks the complete stamp- ing out of the insurrection in the island of Mindanao, which is, next to Luzon, the largest island in the group. The dispatch 8 as follows: “MANILA, March 2.—Brigadier General William A. Kobb reports the surrender at Sumulao, Mindanao, of njne officers, 160 men, 187 rifles and e“htfil shotguns of Capistrano's command. This ends the trouble in Mindanao as far as the Filipi- nos are concerned. “Brigadier General Robert P.

WASHINGTON, March 29.—General MacArthur has notified the War Depart- ment that the proposed temporary diver- sion of the transport Sheridan from the San Francisco route to the China route would seriously interrupt the homeward movement of the volunieers. He also says the Sheridan is not ngeded on the Chinese route at this time.

Anxious to Bring Aguinaldo and Mabini to America. BOSTON, March 29.—Benor Sixto Lopez has sent the two following cablegrams to Aguinaldo and Mabini: Auinaldo, care General MacArthur, Manila: Request American authorities to send you with Mabini to America. SIXTO LOPEZ. Mabini, - care Military Governor, Guam: Agulnaldo captured. I have cabled him to Tequest American authoritles to send you with him to America. I wish to apply to authori- tles {n Guam. SIXTO LOPEZ. In reference 1o the foregoing Senor Lo- pez has issued the following statement: I believe it is the wish of the American peo- ple to know the truth about many things con- pected with this war, as well as to obtain an authoritative statement of the attitude of the Filipinos toward American sovereignty. I do not know of two men better fitted to give such information than Aguinaldo and Mabinl, Almost all the statements that have hitherto téen made are from American sources. It would, therefore, only be falr that two repre- wsentative Filipinos should be allowed to give thelr opinions about the Americans and to speak in behalf of their fellow countrymen, The bringing of Aguinaldo and Mabini to America can do no injury to truth and justice, and 1 assume that both desire to know the truth and to do justice to us.

Speclal Dispatch to The Call, DAVISVILLE, March 2.—Because she had been recelving attentions from Ira E. Jones J. A. Woodman to-night shot and instantly killed his wife and fatally wounded Jones. The murder occurred near the rallroad bridge here. Woodman, immediately after the tragedy, surren- dered himself and was taken to Dixon. Ira Jones cannot survive his wound. Jones and Mrs. Woodman were on friendly terms and for some time the jealousy of the husband has been aroused. Several weeks ago he threatened to kill his supposed rival for the affections of his wife. This evening Jones and Mrs. ‘Woodman met and went for a walk to- gether. When they were about 200 yards south of the rallroad bridge Woodman came up behind them and opened fire. His weapon was a shotgun. Four shots were fired at the couple. One charge plerced the heart of the woman, killing her instantly. Another struck Jones in the small of the back, inflicting a horrible wound. His death is only a question of a few hours. ‘Woodman, after he had surrendered to the authorities, declared that he had not intended to Kkill his wife, but that a charge of shot that was meant for Jones went wide of its mark and hit her. He said he had warned Jones to keep away from his home, but no attentlon was pald to his threats. Made desperate at last by .| cumstances wearranted it. In the opinion FEARS OF GREAT STRIKE IN COAL MINES ENDED President Mitchell Announces That Conse rv- ative Action Is Des fied With Parti irable and Is Satis- al Concessions. WILHESBARRE, Pa., March E,—The} threatened strike of 143,000 miners in the hard coal region will not take place. At a meeting.of the executive committee of the | United Mine Workers of the three anthra- | cite districts held in this city to-day it | was decided that the men should continue | at work. This committee was given arbitrary power by the general convention of min- | ers held at Hazleton In the fore part of the month to declare a strike if the eir of the committee, expressed in a lengthy | address issued this evening and which | was prepared by President Mitchell him- self, the circumstances did not warrant a strike at this time. | Mitchell made an address at the after- noon session of the committee which was conservative in_the extreme. He spoke of his visit to New York and his efforts | to secure interviews with the men who control the anthracite coal trade. He sald all the concessions asked for had not been granted, but the outlook for the future | was bright, and it was his opinion that the day was not far distant when the operators of the anthracite region would see that it was to their advantage to Mmeet thelr miners in joint conference. It took some time and hard work before the bituminous operators would consent to g}get thelr miners, but they eventually Some members of the committee, it was sald, were in favor of pursuing a radical course, on the ground that if the oper- ators did not recognize the miners’ union now the opportunity would be lo: for- | ever. President Mitchell, however, soon convinced the committee that a conserva- tive course was the only one to pursue at this time. Conservative Policy Praised. A number of coal operators when shown | the statement issued by the committee | said it was a disgraceful backdown on Mitchell's part, but they gave the presi- dent of the Mine Workers credit for his conservative policy. It is conceded that had he so desired he could have made a | great deal of trouble. On the whole the | miners are well pleased with the action of | the committee. While they were ready to strike had the order been given, they are just as well pleased that no lockout is to occur. There is general rejoicing among business men to-night over the news. The suspense of the past two weeks had a ten- dency to paralyze trade, but now a big boom is looked for. The happlest man in town to-night is the Rev. E. S.

While the robber was shrieking with pain his intended vie- tim quietly went into his house.
