GENERAL AGREEMENT
Reports to the Contrary Due to Ma

WASHINGTON. 5larsh S.--A mem

the following authoritative statement:
There has been wide inisappre-
hension Of the Puerto Rican tariff bill.
of the attitude Of the president. The
criticisms and concern which have come
from some well-meaning quarters are
due almost entirely to misander-
standing Of the real facts.
The attempt to represent that there
has been disagreement between the
president and congress IL wholly un-
founded. There has been no essential
difference between them. The recon-
mendation Of the president and the
houes bill. in their purpose and effect.
amount to the same thing.
The president. in his annual message
on December =, then urged that the
customs duties on trade between Puer-
to Rico and the United States be re-
moved
What the president proposed was

Looks Upon Filipino Revolution
as Thing of the Past.

VICTORIA. &. e., March S.-The
Colonist says:
The war of the American forces

tically thing of the past This is the
statement of Captain T. F. Jewell L. S.
N. commanding the flagship Brooklyn,
who crossed by the Empress on his way
from Manila to Washington, and goes

quite amused when told of the rumor
circulated throughout America Of
Aguinaldo's presence in Paris, and OBJ
served with laugh that 1t was quite
possible that the American officers
would be glad to have him there. 1t
was, however, wholly incorrect, for
Aguinaldo was definitely located by
Gen. Otis in the mountains, to which
he had fled on the last meeting with
the Americans-not having even got, as
first believed, to the southern part OF
LuzOn. He had ut last accounts less
than thirty followers with him and his
army Qf such 1t might be called had
been effectually dispersed. He himself
had neither ammunition, money nor
friends who could do ought for him.
1t was therefore Capt, JEWELS opinion
that, while looting and robbery under
the cloak of war might continue for
a time, necessitating the retention Of
troops on the scene for police duty. vir-
tually the war is at an end. That
little affair toward the close Of January
at Talal" he said. may be counted az
practically the last kick Of the revolu-
tionists."

LONDON, March S-The fun extent
OF Roberts success yesterday is not
clear, but the best informed authors
ties appear satisfied that II brings pence
perceptibly nearer. The experts anti
cipate that the burghers will make no
further stand west Of the Free state
capital and some OF them even deduce,
from the fact that the Boer forces are
divided and have retreated in different
directions, that Generalization has set
In, and that the Transvaal forces will
next be found carefully entrenched In
a position north OF the Naal river, at
which the bulk OF the Free Staters will
abandon the contest and sue for peace

conditions continue hopeful from a
British point Of view, the telegrams
from MafelSing alone showing any
