AGUINALDO IN CAPTIVITY.
His Intentions Not Yet Made Known to
Americans.

Manila, March 30-In company with
Colonel Vellia, bis chief of staff, and DR..
Barcelona, ex-tressurer Of the Filipino
government, Aguinaldo occupies one OF
the incest apartments Of the Malacanang
Palace. He is closely guarded and court
eously treated. Captain Francis j. Ker'
nan. of the Second Infantry; Captain VIM.

General MacArthur's staff; Captain Ben
;amin II. Randolph and Lieutenant Gil
bert A. Youngberger, of the Third Art'l-

deeply thinking, thrusts his hands through
his hair. He smokes many cigarettes and
cigars and has a hearty appetite. lie
speaks only few words of English. lie
is conscious of his dignity, but rises to talk
pleasantly with bis guards. He often
praises the skill and audacity Of General
Funston, in effectiDg his capture, saying
that only by ttrategem could he have
been captured. 1t is said that Agulnaldo

LITTLE SHORT
OF ULTIMATUM.
Russia Insists on China Signing the
HanChurian Note.
A THREATENING NOTE,
Warning of Termination of Diplomatic
Relations Mess Agreement BE Sign
ed-ChineSe Authorities Consider
This a Subject Of Much In
tereSt To The Powers.

Washington, d. G., April l.-lnforma'
ton has reached here to the effect that the
Russian Government, being seriously per-
turbed by the course of China in not sign
ing the Manchurian agreement, largely
because of the protest made by several
Powers, has conveyed distinct and un-
mistakable indication to China that if this
course is persisted in there may be an ill.,
terruption of diplomatic relations between
Russia and China and termination OF the
present intercourse between them.
This is little short of an ultimatum that
China must sign or take the consequence
of termination of her friendly relations
with Russia.
To what extent the United States will
take cognizanc, of Russia's disposition to
enforce the signing Of the agreement has
not yet been made apparent 1t appears
to be the policy of the Chinese authorities
to consider this as a subject which con-
Germs the Powers quite as lnuch as it does
China The matter has become further
complicated by reports reaching Washing
ton that the Chinese authorities them
selves are divided on the course to be pur'
sued, some Of the influential, including Ii
Hung Chang, urging that acquiescence be
given to the Russian proposals, while
Others insist on rejecting the agreement.
The attitude Of Ii Hung Chang is ac-
counted for by his well known friendliness
for Russian interests. In this case, how
ever, there appears to be arrayed against
him the strong influence of the Southern
Viceroys, Chan Chi TuDg and Liza Kun Yi,
who oppose the signing of the treaty. The
reports reaching here this morning showed
that the agreement had not vet been
signed

Aguinaldo hayng taken the oath OF

in this country take similar oath.

1t looks like there may be mar between
Japan and Russia over the C"iuese ques'

and resources, may find in the new and
smaller power as dangerous adversary as

Of the shepherd boy David.
Most of the Democratic papers in Vir.

The burning of the Jefferson Hotel at

The sisters of Dr. Barcelona have called
upon him, bringing a plentiful supply Of
linen. Aguinaldo is well supplied with
money, and has ordered a supply of new
clothes He is careful OF his personal APP
pearance.
X celebrated his thirty second birth
day the day before he was captured. The
birthday festivities were prolonged, and
only terminated upon the arrival of Cen
eral Funston.
Aguinaldo tries to read the American
newspapers and is anxious to learn the
stale of public opinion in the United
States concerning Philippine affairs. lie
has again conferred with General Trias
and Chief Justice Arelano, but his future
intentions have not been announced. He
spends much time seated bya barred
window watching the boats passing up and
down the Pasig river.
This morning Aguinaldo was recognized
by a crowd of natives going up the river
in lighter. The natives gazed at him
while in silence and then began to jeer,
calling him Emilio, and vile names in the
Tagalop language. The guards quieted
the disturbances and AguinaldO left the
window IN disgust.
The natives in Manila are undemonstra-
tive concerning Aguinaldo's capture, and
it il difficult to ascertain what tue major
itv of them really think about it. 1t is
certain that Aguinsldos influence is less
strong than fomerly, though 1t is still
great.
The representative of the Associated
Press has interviewed many Filipinos, in
cuding both business and professional
men in Manila, as well as representatives
Of the lower classes and former Insurgents,
on the capture of Agunaldo. The major
ity Of persons questioned were ualelgnedly
glad that Aguiraldo had been captured,
ana said they considered that the worst
obstacle to the speedy pacihcation of the
/ islands had been removed. Some men
dislrust Aguinaldo and advise his imme-
date deportation. Others believe he can
render vast assistance by urging his coun-
tr,meu TO acquiesce to American author
ity. An men agree that the outlook today
Is much brighter.

BANISHMENT OF TOLST0I.
Apparently the Step Has Been Taken by
Russian Government

st. Petersburg, April lit was rumor.
ell several days ago, but generally disbe
lieved, that Count Leo Tolstoi had been
banished from Russia because Of the at'
tempted assassination Of Privy Councillor
Pobiedonostzef, chief procurator Of the
Holy Synod, who was shot at early in the
morning of March %, while sitting in his
study, the attempt being attributed to Il
desire for revenge, growing out of the ex-
communication of Count Tolstoi. Owing
to the indefniteness of the rumor it was
disregarded by the correspondent OF the
Associated Press. Now, however, the
correspondent has received private let
ter from usually trustworthy source in
Wilma, capital of the government of that
name, saying that Count Tolstoi was re-
ported to have passed through wilma

FRAUDS IN MANILA.
Many insurgents Have Surrendered to
Americans.

Manila, April 1.-The sensational frauds
in the commiesary department which were
developed Yesterday by the arrest OF Cap
tain Frederick J. BarrOws, and Others,
will be probed to the bottom. Orders
have been Issued that no guilty man es'
cape. The number of men implicated In
the frauds is undetermined, and high
rank will not suffice to shield delinquents.
Col. Woodruff, the chief of the commits
sary, said to the representative OF the AS
sociated Press that the irregularities were
exaggerated, and that the troops we're
always well supplied with stores. Colonels
of the returning volunteer regiments wrote
to Colonel Woodruff, in praise OF thSecom'
missary department.
Lieutenant Warren Dean, with thirty
men of troop G, of the Sixth cavalry, was
almost surrounded at MaIabar by two
hundred insurgents from the Snnga noun
tains, in Cavie province. During the en-
suing action eighteen insurgents were
killed and two Americans were wounded.
The insurgents then retired.
Thirty men Of General Cables command

were officers, including Colonels Herrars
and Royala.
The recent surrenders include Genera
Gozale, eleven officers and foIty-four men

$4,000 to TazewelI.

Today l was much surprised to hear one
of our business men say that he supposed
Tazewell College had brought some 10 or
20 boarders to our town this year. He
did not know that VIZ had enrolled 1888
pupils this year and that SO of these were
boarders, and that 55 of them were in the
two boarding departments of the college.
Every boarder is worth to the merchants
and business men of our town about $3.50
per session. With better buildings we can
bring 100 boarders here next year, which
will mean at least $4,000 spent in the
town on their accounts. The wisest thing
our Business men could do from a purely
business standpoint would be to subscribe
literally to new brick building for Taze'
we'll College. Wonder what they would
do if they were asked? We make no ap-
peal to public spirit; but to the pocket
books of the business men.
would not be afraid to guarantee that
every merchant in the town Of Tazewe!l
who will contribute for this purpose, will
receive such patronage from the institu
ton the first two years that the profits
thereon will more than pay their subscrip'
ton. Respectfully submitted,

twenty years penal servitude, with loss
of civil rights, was strictly secret. Admit

Karpovich spoKe for an hour regarding
the student troubles under Bogoliepof and
the disorganization of the universities.
The prisoner characterized BogoliepoR,
whom he knew as curator at Moscow in
1896, as the "baneful spirit of reaction. "
The prosecuting attorney described Bogo-
liepof as a noble officer and demanded
the inhiction of the most severe penalties.
Counsel for the defense, NJ. Turtchanof,
pleaded for a milder punishment, declar.
ing that severity was unable to effect any
thing in struggle with ideals and idealists
who joyfuIly sought martyrdom for their
principles.

twenty years bard labor in Siberia and the
loss of all civil rights. The police are con-

nection with the general revolutionary

Enlistments May Cease.

Washington, April l.-As a result Of the
capture of Aguinaldo and the belief among
officials that a speedy and complete COL
lapse of the insurrection in the Philip
pines will follow, the full strength Of the
army authorized by the recent army re-
organization act may not be enlisted. The
question is being canvassed by the Pres'
dent and the authorizes but no decision
will be reached until the views of General
Macarthur and others in the Philippines
are obtained. If the conditions turn out
as the officials here say, there will be no
necessity for recruiting an army of 100, 600
men. To prominent Senators with whom
the President talked today lie said that
the strength of the new army would not
be greater than necessary to meet the con-
ditions. Not man would be enlisted
whose services were not required to cope
with the situation. The new army act
provides for an army with a minimum
from 65 600 men and maximum strength
of 100, 600 men. The discretion as to the
size of the force to be enlisted 10 lodged in
the President 1t is he, therefore, who
will ultimately decide what the situation
calls for.
