Volunteers at san Francisco.

MANILA, March 29.-It is believed by
many army officers that the end OF opposi-
tion TO American rule in the Philippines Is
approaching. The capture of Aguinaldo,
following the surrender of General Trias.
will probably occasion the surrender of the
insurgent leader Malavar, in Batangas
province, Luzon; Bellarmino, in Albay
province, Luzon, and Luckban, in the
Island of Samar. within a month.
After being convinced of Aguinaldo's cap
ture, General Geronimo, the insurgent lead
er in the province of Morong, Luzon, sur
rendered, with six officers, sforty-six men
and fifty rifles to Col. J. Milton Thompson.
of the Forty-second Regiment, at San
Mateo.
AS the news OF Aguinaldo's capture
spreads through the archipelago the insur-
gents are becoming disheartened and there
is a marked increase in the number of in
dividual surrenders. Twelve thousand Fill
pinos have taken the oath of allegiance to
uocos province.
General Cailes. who Is practically out
lawed account of his atrocious crimes.
sent an emissary to General Bates, who an
swered that he must surrender uncondi-
tionally and stand trial.
On arriving in these waters ,the United
States gunboat Vicksburg stopped eight
miles out, and, in response TO a signal ex-
changed with Corregidor island. a launch
appeared from the shore Of Corregidor and
-Aeslaal<as-was quietly transferred to-the
launch. which steamed up the Pasig river
to the wharf at the back of the Malacanan
Palace where the prisoner disembarked al
most unnoticed. Some hours elapsed before
the news Of Aguinaldo's capture was gen.
orally known. The fact that he was a pris-
oner caused Joy and congratulation among
the Americans. The native population was
apathetic. There was no particular excite
ment anywhere.
AguInaldo is now detained in a comfort
able room i'm a wing of the Malacanan Pal
ace. He Is I'm charge of Capt. Benjamin H.
Randolph and Lieut.. Gilbert A Youngbert
Of Battery G., Third Artillery. Aguinaldo
to-day conferred in the Tagalog language
at the palace with several former members
Of his cabinet and other prominent Fill
pinos. whom he had asked TO see They
explained TO him the hopelessness of the in
surgent cause and advised him TO use his
Influence to establish peace and for the rec
ognition OF American sovereignty. The re-
yult OF the conferences is as yet unknown.
When Aguinaldo was captured he wore
\ plain black suit with the coat closely
buttoned at the throat, and white wide
helmet. He takes his capture philosophic-
ally. He Is generally cheerful, but some-
times moody. His health during the past
year has been very good. 1t is uncertain
what attitude he will now assume Certain
visitors are permitted 10 see Aguinaldo
but newspaper interviews with the pris-
oner are not allowed.
Since Aguinaldo has been domiciled at
the palace persons not provided with spe-
cial permits have been denied admission to
the grounds. General Trias, the COM
mander of the insurgent forces of southern
Luzon, who recently surrendered to the
American authorities. visited Aguinaldo
and told the latter why he surrendered
Tries said that a continuance of armed
opposition TO the United States was unjusti-
fable and ruinous; that the independence
OF the Philippines was impossible and that
the Filipinos would better accept liberty
prosperity and progress under American
rule.
Many people visited the residence of Cen
eral and Mrs. Funston on the Gale Real
I'm the suburb OF Ermita. The general
modestly declined TO talk. Mrs Funston
was evidently the happiest woman in the
Philippine islands. General Funston has
been recommended for the highest prac-
ticable reward. Ii is believed here he will
receive an appointment as brigadier gen
eral in the regular army
The former insurgent officers and the
Macabebe scouts who took part in the cap
ture of Aguinaldo will probably receive a
monetary reward. The amount has not
been specified. IL has also been recon-
mended that every man participating in
the capture of Agulnaldo receive a special
medal.
The first execution in Manila under
American rule took place to-day at Fort
Malate. where FIVE natives were hanged
for the murder OF Archibard Wilson. an
EnglishmaR. superintendent OF the water
works. The motive for the murder was
robbery
