Denver Colo, March 29,-United

regarding the capture of Aguinaldo:
"The capture is important of course.
1t is valuable to eliminate him from

Bryan said regarding the capture of
Aguinaldo:
while no one can predict with
certainty the effect of his capture, 1t
is possible it may put an end to the
war for the present, but the objec-
ton to Imperialism is not removed
by the surrender of those who have
been opposing it in the Philippines

May Hasten Time of Peace.
Chicago, March 29-Major General
Otis said in part of the capture of
Aguinaldo.
"As to the effect the capture of
Aguinaldo will have on our affairs in
the islands, | believe it will hasten
the time when peace will be restored.
OF course the United States will have
to protect the people for some time
to come, but | think that in the
course of a few months or a year
the people may be able to protect
themselves largely. The capture Will
result in decrease of military de-
mands in the Philippines.

"In my opinion this will tend to set

General Miles would not express
any opinion as to what should be done
with Aguinaldo.
Rear Admiral Evans said:
II would not say that the capture
of Aguinaldo will break the back
bone of the trouble in the Philippines
because believe that it is already
broken, but it will do much toward
bringing about final settlement
What do you think the govern

asked.

would again agree in the conclusion
that we are yet UNNECESSARILY distant
from a complete solution.
Looking back over the interval of
1900 or 5000 years that connects US by
more or less authentic records with
our distinguished ancestors. we are IT
once struck by the admirable conf
denCe they had acquired in their ability
to solve this grand problem.
Not less admirable. also. for their
ingenuity and for the earnestness with
which they We're advanced, are the
hypothesis and arguments by which
men satisfied themselves on the secur-
ity Of their tenets and theories.
No summary view of the progress of

Ineligible except by a clear realiza-
lion of two facts. which may be briefly
referred to as mans conception of the
universe and his means Of investigat-
ing it. What. then, in the light of these
facts. has been the sequel?
The fun answer to this question is
an old and long story. now a matter
Of mir ute and exhaustive history as
regards the past twenty centuries.
I have no desire to recall the dra-
matte events involved in the rise of
science from The Alexandrian epoch to
the present day. All these events are
rite enough to men of science. A
'Eere reference to them is a sufficient
uggestion of the existence of a family

the prevalence of yellow fever in
Havana. or an epidemic of bubonic

The management of this great in

When we turn to the general status

an abundance of favorable conditions
The methods of science may be said to
have gained a footing of responsibility
IN almost every department of thought
where. a half century ago, or even
twenty years ago, their entry was
either barred out or stoutly opposed.
The conflict between religion and

which disturbed so many eminent

tanned at the beginning of our era.
But no devOtee to science finds hu-
initiation in this departure from the
primitive concepts of humanity on
the contrary. he has learned that this
apparent humiliation is the real source
of enlightenment and encouragement,
for notwithstanding the relative mi
nuteness of the speck of cOsndc dust
on which we reside, and nOtwithstand-
ing the relative incompetency of the
mind TO discover our exact relations

been possible to measure that minute

There, in brief. are the elements of
positive knowledge to which we have
arrived through the long course of I'M
conscious, or only half-cOnscious, eX-
perience of mankind.
All lines of investigation converge
toward and diverge from these ele-
ments. 1t is along such lines that
progress has been attained in the past,
and il is along the same lines that we
may expect progress to proceed in the
future.

it alone can point the way to the So
luton of many of them.
But there is no hating ground here.
Science must likewise enter and eX-
plore the domain of manners and
morals; and these, though already
largely modified unconsciously, must
now be modified consciously to a still
greater extent by the advance of
science.
Only within quite recent times have
we come to realize an approximation to

that the proper study of man is man.

The transcendent interest of this later

For example. to mention only one of
the lines along which Improvement is

an indefinite mitigation, if not def
mite extinction. of the ravages of such
dread diseases as consumption and
typhoid fever?
Or what. we may ask. is to hinder
the application TO New York, Philadel-
phia and Chicago of as effective health
regulations as those now applied to
Havana? Nothing, apparently. except
vested interests and general apathy.
We read, not many years ago, that
a city of about 900 900 inha bitants
I had, during one year, more than 5000
cases of typhoid fever The cost to the
city of a single case may be estimated
at not less, on the average, than 81 600:
making an aggregate cost 20 that city
for one year, of more than Sc, 000, coo.
Such a waste of financial resources
ought to appeal to vested interests and
general apathy, even if they cannot be
moved by any higher motives.

But where are the elements of this
