Boston. April 1.-The following state

tonight:

But assuming that it IS true. under

oath shall give complete liberty To a
person.
The war department authorities say
that offenses against the articles Of
war excepted in the proclamation of
amnesty refer to murders and like dep
relations. Only recently five Filipino
officers were executed for such fife, SIS
1t is not known here whether Aguin-
aldo was responsible in any case for
such offences. though from the fact
that Gen. Macarthur allowed hin, to
take the oath of allegiance. il is as
s,umed that the commanding general
does not hold Aguinaldo to be charge
able with violation of the articles Of
war. 1t is believed Gen. Macarthur
will keep the ex-lcader under his eye
and avail himself of the good Offices
of Aguinaldo in loyalizing the remnant
of the insurgent forces.
Should the capture and submission
of the Filipino chieftain mark the be-
ginning of the end in the Philippines as
is expected, the effect on the naval
representation in Asiatic waters will
be n very considerable reduction of our
naval force in the Far East. There are
at present about 81 of our naval vcs-
sells of the Asiatic stat:on-a greater
number than ever before has been
mobiliZed there and including some
battleships. cruisers and irOnclaGs in
the American navy. A good many of
them will be now sent hcme to form
