ROOT On PHILIPPINE WAR.
Says That He Did Not Predict Al
Early End


Washington, Jan. 7.-Senators Proc
tor and Burrows, of the senate mil
itary committee had a long confer
ence with the Secretary Root at the
war department in regard to the mil
itary situation in the Philippines.
with special application to the bill
providing for an increase of the reg
ular army now under consideration
in the senate. just before the con-
ference the secretary talked with q
number of newspaper men. In the
course of the conservation he said
there was no foundation for the
statement published in some news
papers that the troubles in the Phil
ippines would end with the re-elec-
ton of President Mckinley. He ex-
planned that he had always avoided
the making of predictions in any
matter and he certainly had never
made the prediction in question
about the speedy termination of the
Philippine troubles. The nearest he
had ever come TO uoing so was in
his last annual report to the pres
i1ent, when he summed up the mill
tary requirements in the philippines
as demanding 10000 men for the i'm
mediate future, though this number
might be progressively decreased by
the restoration of order, the creation
of native police and the use of ma
tive troops in place of Americans
We should require permanently an
army of about 10000 American
troops, he said, and during the pres
ent conditions in Cuba and the Phil
ippines, about the present number,
100000 would be required.

AGUINALDO AGAIN DEAD.
This Time the Report Is Considered
Reliable.

New York, Jan. 5.-Benjamin Idc
Wheeler, president of the University
of California, who is now staying at
the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, has re-
ceived information from secret
sources in the Philippines to the eff
feet that Aguinaldo is dead and that
his death occurred not less than sin
weeks ago. The news has been kept
secret by Aguinaldo's followers, it is
said, for the purpose of prolonging
the rebellion, since IL is believed that
the news of the chiefs death would
cause such encouragement and alarm
that an utter capitulation would re-
suit. President Wheeler obtained the
news through several Filipino chill
dren who have been placed in his care
by their parents. Two are sons Of
Buencamino, a wealthy citizen of Ma
Mia, who before the advent of the
Americans in the Philippines had
been an active leader of the rebel
lion against the Spanish.
