FUNSTON CAPTURES AGUINALDO Leader of the Philippine Rebels and His Staff Fall Into Trap Set by Daring American General Success of. Risky Plan Crowns a Gallant Career. of doing things. He was more inclined to his first view that the noted prisoner should be well sphnked.

This idea as to treatment to be accorded Aguinaldo seems to be the one most generally accepted among officials, and while the suggestion of spanking is used in a figurative sense, there is no suggestion in any quarter that he will meet with rigorous punishment at times administered to the arch-head of an insurrection. Root Says But Little- Secretary Root said he desired further advices from MacArthur before discussing the matter in great detail. He would say little or nothing about the disposition of Aguinaldo further than that he would probably be treated the same as other high officers of the insurgents who have been taken by Americans. Army officers who have been in the Philippines are very much interested in the news and some of them discussed the military and judicial features of the case. It was pointed out that Aguinaldo could be held as a prisoner of war until the close of the war.

9 More new SHIRTS to show houses in the city combined. 23, In the country near Caslguran, nine miles from the town of Baler. His entire staff was taken prisoners at the same time and were brought with him to Manila on the gunboat Vicksburg, arriving this morning. Funston started on the expedition which resulted in the capture Aguinaldo three weeks ago. He had with him a company of natives, and was assisted by Captain John Newton of the Thirty-fourth volunteer infantry.

Lieutenant Admire of the Twenty-second Infantry, Lieutenant Mitchell of the Fortieth volunteers, and Surgeon Major Harris. The expedition was conveyed by the gunboat Vicksburg and the cruiser Albany to a landing place on the east coast of Luzon, north of Baler. From the landing place Funston had a six days march inland before reaching Aguinaldos hiding place. The Hebei chieftains hiding place was revealed by a Filipino officer, who turned over to Governor General MacArthur a letter from Aguinaldo. The letter ordered the Filipino officer and other leaders of the insurgent forces in southern Luzon to meet him at a designated rendezvous in Isabella province.

General Funston at once proposed to head an expedition to Isabella province in an effort to capture Aguinaldo. After much discussion Governor General MacArthur consented and preparations were begun. Funstons plan of operations was unique. After being landed on the east coast Funston and his four American companions were, to play the role of prisoners in the hands of natives, who were to represent themselves to Aguinaldo as loyal Filipinos. When brought before Aguinaldo the latter was to be seized by Funstons native troops, made a prisoner and brought to Manila.

Funstons plans went through as well as they had been planned. Aguinaldo fell into the trap, was made a prisoner, and was brought to Manila in the gunboat Vicksburg, which remained cruising off the east coast of Luzon for that purpose. It will readily be seen that the adventure was a desperate one, as treachery was always possible, and General Funston had no absolute means of knowing how many men Aguinaldo had with him. It was possible that he would have enough to overwhelm the Americans and their native allies, but this did not deter them for an instant. They accepted the risk, with the result that Aguinaldo is now safe in the hands of the American military authorities in Manila.

A burorise For McArthur. General MacArthur was sitting In his headquarters this morning whert a gaunt, haggard and discouraged native in a frayed uniform adorned ith a general's chevrons entered act ompamed by General Funston. The Kansas tighter said quietly and witli no semblance of ment will probably be signed shortly. However, the negotiations continue, and the result is not yet certain. While it is possible tjjie details will be slightly modified, the arrangements will be substantially as demanded.

The draft of the agreement now being discussed does not mention and does not affect Mongolia or Turkestan. It concerns Manchuria exclusively. Mongolia and Turkestan have never been Included in the formal draft, but they formed a subject, with Manchuria, of an exchange of ideas preliminary to formal negotiations. The agreement will be designed for the protection of existing interests and rights, and not for the acquisition of new things. It is diplomatically admitted that Russa is seeking certain guarantees for future security, and it is positively certain that no powers have protested, even Japan refraining from this attempt to interfere between two other governments.

However, the Japanese minister has discussed this and other phases of the Chinese question with the foreign office. The statement of the Japanese foreign minister that Japan will necessarily demand compensation if the agreement is signed has not made a decisive impression, for promises or threats and their performance are Often quite different. Russia does not object to the principle of Count von Bulow that the agreement will not diminish substantially Chinas ability to pay an in-demnty, since the arrangement does not affect the existing commercial rights of other nationsn Manchuria. China will continue collecting customs dues in Manchuria. Student Executed.

Berlin. March 28 The Vorwaerts publishes inside news from Russia to the effect that the number of students enrolled in the army is still increasing, and now exceeds 2,000. According to the same authority, an ex-student named Piratoff, who was enrolled, was executed on March 22 in Kieff because of insubordination, and two former students, Rybakoff and Lanzetnik, will he tried for a similar offense. The Tageblatts St. Petersburg correspondent says the recall of Count Muravieff-Amoursky, Russian military attache at Paris, has been ordered.

and that the Russian ambassador to France. Prince Ouroussoff, will probably soon be recalled. Xranere8ged Rules of War. Another phase of the' question, relating to the proclamation and orders of Aguinaldo tending to secure the assassination and massacre of Americans. Europeans and friendly Filipinos without regard to their activity in the prosecution of the war on insurgents, was discussed.

It was said that in case the proclamations and orders could be proved. Aguinaldo would be subject to trial by a military commission for violation of the rules of war and he could not claim immunity unden the ordinary conduct war. A Soldiers Opinion. Denver. March 28 Colonel A.

W. Corliss, who returned last week from' the Philippines. was highly pleased to learn of the capture of the rebel chieftain, Aguinaldo. But it would have been better if a mule had kicked the little upstart to death. said the colonel.

The question now is what are we to do with him. I do not consider the capture of Aguinaldo the most important thing that could have happened, though it may have the effect to i send ail the rebels tumbling in surrender as fast as they can. General Trias, who surrendered a few days ago, was more important, to my mind, than any of the other fellows. The Filipinos have come to appreciate that the hero who hides out in the hushes and keeps away from the front as much as possible is not much of a hero, and Aguinaldo has lost his old-time prestige. Now I hope to hear of the capture or surrender of Gen.

Supplies Baiting, Enginaera II St. Petersburg, March 28 It is confidently expected that Lieutenant General Kleigel, prefect of police, wfll be given the Siberian governor-generalship.

A ministerial circular this morning contained what is regarded as a severe criticism of Kleigel's policy in making arrests after the outbreak of the students troubles, instead of forestalling them. It is reported that Grand Duke Vladimir is organizing a mediation committee for the purpose of inquiring into the complaints of the students and endeavoring to persuade them to behave. A storj- comes from the hospitals today to the effect that nineteen students have already died from injuries received in the recent rfots, presumably as a result of wounds inflicted by the leaden bullets which the Cossacks are alleged to have put on their whips. The students themselves report only two deaths, while the mortality statistics do not give a single death last week except from disease. Revolt Against Reaction.

The distinguishing and the gravest featyre of the present disturbances is the evidence of an organized combination for th first time between students and artisans. The obstinately reactionary character of the administration has driven the students into the arms of the labor party. Bogol-epoff was the worst type of the Russian bureaucrat, whose administration consisted of a continued persecution of students, and a petition prepared by eminent professors and certain senators, invoking the personal intervention of the czar, is another proof of the panic prevailing in offi-ial circles. But the presentation of this petition "was prevented by higher officials. Another novel feature of this outbreak is that the dvorniks, or yardmen.

who act as a species of police reserve, refused in large numbers to assist the regular police in suppressing disorders, thus manifesting sympathy with the people. No doubt Is entertained that the outbreak will he quelled, hut at Incalculable loss of life and suffering. Russia Cannot Retreat. Russia, it is announced here today, cannot abate her moderate demands on China. To do so, it is asserted, would be inconsistent with Russian interests and would not sufficiently safeguard the frontier ami the railroad.

It is announced on competent authority that the Russo-Chinese agree- A SURPRISE IN NEBRASKA Thompson, Rosewater, Mfelklejohn and Currie Withdraw Gov. Dietrich and H.

When the caucus assembled this morning the anti-Thompson men began running Crounse up.

but he could not reach figures hieh promised any solution of the difficulty. Then Thompson announced his withdrawal, suggesting Dietrich as a nominee for the short term. The action of Thompson 'was followed immediately by that of Rosewater, ho suggested either George W. Lininger or J. H.

Millard, both of Omaha, as the most available men for the longterm senatorship. Meiklejohn and Currie immediately afterward announced their withdrawal. The caucus took up with the suggestions of the two tandidates and the nominations Millard and Diet-rich were unanimously made. The New Senators. J.

II. Millard and C. H. Dietrich, who were nominated by the republican caucus this morning. were elected by the joint session at noon.

He was the toundcr of (the Omaha National bank, of which institution he is still president.

He was for many years a director of the Union Pacific railroad, but has not len connected with the road under the new organization. t4e has never held an office of any kind before, and says he has not been inside the state capitol for twelve years.

Governor Dietrichs election will raise Lieutenant Governor Savage to the office of governor, which the former will vacate on his oualification as senator. Hurried Back to hi Posti Atlanta. March 2S--Polonel Alfred E.

Buck, United States minister to Japan, has been ordered to his post in Tokio by the secretary of state. He left Atlanta, last night for Washington, whence he wiU proceed at once to Japan by way of San Francisco. It Is said at the customhouse that Colonel Buck was given Washington, March 28 Admiral Ttemey has cabled the navy department today that Aguinaldo, three staff officers and eighty-three men were captured by General Funston. The dispatch says they were brought to Manila on board the Vicksbyrg and turned over to General MacAr-thur. MacArthur cabled the war department confirming the published report of the capture of Aguinaldo.

His report shows he has Aguinaldo a prisoner in his own palace. Auuy Taken Ashore Today. Manila. March 28 Aguinaldo, who was captured by Funston and brought to Manila on the gunboat Vicksburg, was brought ashore at 3:10 this afternoon and taken before MacArthur at Malacanang palace. He talked freely but seemed ignorant concerning recent events.

He appeared to be in good health and even cheerful. He lunched with the officers of Mac-Arthurs staff and was then escorted to Anda street Jail. Aguinaldos capture was attended with considerable difficulty', an insurgent major being killed at the time of the event. Twenty rifles and a number of important papers were captured. Mao Arthurs Message.

I Washington, March 28 MacAr-thur's cable is as follows: General Funston has just returned from an expedition to Palana, province of Isabella, where he captured Aguinaldo, who is now in my possession at Malacanan. Particulars later. Malacanan is 1 MaeArthuys headquarters and his residence is in Manila. Secretary Root informed the Associated Press this morning that he can make -no statement yet as to the disposition of Aguinaldo. He supposes he will be treated the same as other prominent insurgents who have been captured.

When asked if Funston will be rewarded by promotion for his daring work, the secretary said the question has not yet been considered. President is Pleased. Washington, March 28 The news of Aguinaldo's capture by Funston was received everywhere in official circles with intense gratification, but perhaps nowhere did it create more satisfaction than at the White House. The first official to reach the executive mansion was General Mae-Arthur's dispatch announcing the capture, which came about midnight. This morning the president also saw Admiral Kemey's cablegram and the press dispatches.

The president is naturally very much gratified that the chief mover in the insurrection has at last been taken. It has been the opinion of the military authorities for a long time that Aguinaldo was doing more than all other agencies combined to keep the rebellion in the Philippines alive, and every energy was directed to compass his capture. Funston Picked for Work, it is a rather remarkable tribute to the daring and resourcefulness of Funston that long before he made the attempt he was selected by the authorities here as an qfficer who might accept it. It was the intention of Funston some time ago to return to the I'nited States, but by direction of the war department he was detained in the Philippines in the hope that Just such a contingency as did arise should give him an opportunity to test his prowess. Both the president and the war department were fully informed of the trap laid to capture the insurgent chief, and the result of the expedition has been anxiously awaited for several days.

Brings up Mew Questions. Several interesting and indeed vital questions are raised by Aguinaldo's capture. If the insurrection now collapses, as it is hoped it will, it may not be necessary to enlist the full strength of the army provided for in the army reorganization bill. There is also the question of the disposition to be made of the insurgent chief. But it is too early yet for the authorities to decide these questions.

There is also much speculation as to the reward which Funston may receive for his work. It is considered not improbable that his reward will be a commission in the regular establishment. In cabinet circles Funston's exploit is referred to in laudatory terms and the probable effect It will have on the termination of hostilities in the Philippines Is being generally discussed. Secretary Long expressed the prevailing sentiment. He is naturally much gratified at the official confirmation of Aguinaldos capture and of the assistance the navy has been able to give Funston in facilitating his exploits.

'The capture of itself is of much importance, he said, but be suggested the moral effect would probably count quite as much as the brilliancy of the exploit. He considered it one of the most significant features of the affair that the natives themselves had been instrumental In bringing about the capture. They had made up a considerable part of Funstons force and their willingness to go into the heart of Aguinaldo's stronghold indicated their own minds that they felt there was no longer any real danger to be apprehended of Aguinaldos strength. That such a sentiment had obtained a hold among the Filipinos was, in the judgment of Secretary Long, significant evidence that the insurrection had lost its vitality among the people themselves. Longs Idea of Punishment.

To this sentiment was now added the loss of the ostensible head of the insurrectionary movement, which would doubtless exert a far-reaching influence upon the native mind. The secretary said he presumed Aguinaldo would be held as a prisoner of w'ar. What will be done to him? Long was asked. It is a little to say, Responded the secretary. "I would say he should be spanked with a shingle5.

It was suggested to secretary that as a prisoner of war who has rebelled against the authority of the United States it might be incumbent, under military procedure, to deal with Aguinaldo by those rigorous steps usual to warfare. But Long shook his head, and remarked that was hardly the ay we were in the habit rHECAPTIVEAND HIS CAPTOR 401 Second Avenue.

Fawcett, exultation or boasting: General, this is Chief Aguinaldo. The American commander gasped incredulously. But when he peered a second time at the sallow countenance of the indomitable Filipino he rea.li:5ei that the object for which more than a year of time and the efforts of thousands of soldiers had been expended fruitlessly was attained at last. The commanders first utterance was that the insurrection would die out as soon as the hostile natives learned for a certainty that their leader was a prisoner. Ho had an immediate audience witii Aguinaldo, whom lie treated with great consideration.

General MacArthur. however. would not divulge anything that passed during the conversation. The most rigid precautions were taken to guard against any attempt at escape on the part of Aguinaldo or any of his faithful adherents to rescue him. General Frederick ri.

Funston, the captor of Aguinaldo, is a native of Ohio, although he is a Kansan education. ilis life has been one long story of adventure and outdoor life. He was born in New Castle, in 1863, and went to Kansas when he was 16 years old. He went to school in flve miles from Carlisle, and has had experience in every phase of western life. In the entire army there is probably no man who has seen more fighting in proportion to his age than General Fred Funston.

He is a born soldier and has generally contrived to be in the vicinity where bullets were flying thickest, and, although he has been wounded a number of times, he has always escaped serious injury. His friends say this is partly because there is so little of him to hit, for he is only 5 feet 5 inches in height and his top weight is about 115 pounds. His most notable ex- BRIGADIER GENERAL FRED FUNSTON. plolt previous to this one was when lie took his Kansans across the Rio Grande de la Pampanga on raft hastily constructed for the purpose under a heavy fire from the Filipinos, formed them on the other side, and took the fortifications at the. charge.

From his boyhood days Fred Funston has been fighter. His father. E. H. Funston, soon moved from Ohio to Kansas, where he became a congressman and was known as Foghorn Funston.

His exploits In Cuba, first as flhbusterer. then a staff officer with Garcia and afterward with the Amer lean forces In that Island, are well known. His record In the Philippines, ending with this crowning exploit, has sustained his reputation as fighter. the hurry-up order before his visit to this country was finished because there is a war brewing between Japan and Russia. THE IRON TRADE REVIEW.

Market ia Constantly Broadening and Strengthening. Cleveland, March 28 Commenting on the market conditions the Iron Trade Review today says: The iron market is broadening and the week has brought further ad-ances. Buying pig iron for delivery after the middle of the year is a feature in the market, and there are accumulating signs that the trade has confidence in, the stability of values as they stand today.

He is not a pure Tagalog. His maternal grandfather was a Chinaman, and from him he inherited the stoical qualities and craft of speech that have made him such a power among his people. His ambition is to lead, and his heartlessness enables him without compunction to cause the assassination of all who threaten to rival him. Aguinaldos wife is a Chinese Mes-tiza. and has made herself conspicuous in the revolutionary army by-organizing a "Red Cross hospital corps, and placing herself at the head of it.

In appearance Aguinatdo Is of medium height and rather slender though supple, strong, and muscular. He holds his head very erect, and is possessed of tremendous egotism and some personal vanity. He dresses neatly, and, in common with his countrymen, is rather fond of pomo and ceremony. His complexion is light brown, and his eyes are black and intensely piercing. He wears his jet-black hair pompadour, and has a quick but deliberate manner.

His countenance Is impassive, and he masks his emotions with a smile. In speech he is direct and Intense, and in a harangue has no equal. His addresses to his troops' never fail to incite them to a fury of enthusiasm. His soldiers hang upon evert word and obey his every behest unques-tiouingly.
