SAYS AGUINALDO IS DEAD.
Not Heard from Since Christmas
Supposed to be Killed.
GEN. FUNSToN'S DISCOVERY.

Manila, May 4.-General Funston
has discovered rebel warehouse near
Cabanutuan, containing all of the
archives of the Malolos government,
Aguinaldo's correspondence up to the
time of his fight and much valuable
information and historical matter.
The belief is growing that Aguinaldo
was killed by the Ingorotes. There is
no proof that he has been alive since
Major Peyton c. March, of the Thirty
third regiment, abandoned the chase
after the Filipino leader in the Benguet
mountains. An insurgent officer who
recently surrendered to General Young
says that the insurgent general Tinio
holds this belief. Tinio held regular
communication with Aguinaldo until
December 26, since when he has heard
nothing from him, and Tinio thinks
Aguinaldo would find means to COM
municate with him if alive. Major
March's information was that there
were only half a dozen soldiers with
Aguinaldo when he fled beyond the
Botoc wilderness, where the savages
are hostile to all strangers. Friends of
Aguinaldo's wife assert that she has
heard nothing from him since they
parted. She is in delicate condition
and nearly Frustrated with worry.
Therefore she has not been informed
of the death of her child and thinks it
is with friends at Bacoor.

The Bishops on Divorce.

Chicago, May 5.-The Bishops ad
dress read to the General NJ. E. Con-
ference by Bishop Andrews contains
this:
AS to marriage and divorce, in the
presence of this evil the church cannot
allow its rules on the subject of divorce
and re-marriage to be in any case in
operative and void. Let, if need be,
the church law be amended to more
perfectly express the New Testament
rule of marriage. But by the voice Of
its public assemblies, by its pulpits,
and by the judicious exercise of dis
cipline the church should keep itself
pure, and aid the civil law and the
practices of society to become pure.
