Times which asserts that among papers
found by General Funston were GER
tain letters from him. He said: II
never wrote a letter to Aguinaldo in
my life. Whenever I wanted to see
him sent for him. He was employed
by me for certain purposes, just as 1
employed lot of other people among
the natives. 1 made him no promises.

Last Hours In the Senate.

Washington, June 9.-For the senate
is was day of waiting. There seemed
but little prospect at opening for an
agreement between the two houses on
the naval bill, but at 3 o'clock, the
action of the house became known,
and the hour of 5 o'clock was fixed for
adjournment. No further business
was done; previous this time to Sen.
Beveridges joint resolution to give a
cannon to the Sons of Veterans was
adopted and also bill to pay for corn
seized by the troops in the civil war.
In addition action was taken on several
private pension bills. The conclusion
of the work of the senate was quiet
and perfunctory, attended by no ex-
citing scenes, such as are often Incl
dent to the close of session, and
when the gavel fell finally, expressions
of relief and gladness were heard from
all senators.

Aruinaldo,s Papers Show Treason.

Manila, June SIN the chase of Ag-
uinaldo's party, his forces were divided
into tens. One of these parties was
led by an officer who was shot. 1t is
said by the natives that Aguinaldo was
shot in the shoulder. The horse the
officer was riding when shot was cap
tured. The horse and saddle were
bloody, and the saddle pockets held
papers which would show that the
officer was either the chief or his ad-
jutant. The papers prove treason on
the part of trusted Filipinos, including
telegraph operators who had been re-
tanned in the service of the Americans.
They had sent Aguinaldo copies of i'm
portant kilograms exchanged between
American officers.

To Visit the Dowager Empress.

Washington, June 11.-Almost the
only subject before the cabinet meet
ing was the situation in China. Sec
rotary Hay read cablegram from
Minister Conger at Pelin in which he
stated that there was no improvement
in the situation and asked for instruc-
tions. Secretary Hay stated after the
meeting that reply would be sent to
Mr.. Conger substantially reaffirming
the one sent a day or two ago to the
effect that he will be expected to do
whatever is necessary to protect the
lives of Americans and their property
and to maintain the dignity of this
government. 1t is understood here
that the representatives of the powers
in Pekin will call in body on the
dowager empress and present the ne
cessity of her taking immediate and
vigorous action to suppress the rioters.
1t is assumed that Mr.. Conger will
Join the other representatives
