TO HOLD AGUINALDO
| he Results Expected to Fol-
low His Capture Have not
Yet MateriaIized.
(By the Associated Press }

Washington, April 3.-After a consul
tation with the President, Secretary Roo;
tonight sent a cable message to General
Macarthur giving him instructions re-
garding Aguinaldo and the views of the
Administration on some recommendations
as to Philippine affairs made by General
Macarthur. The contents of the cable
gram will not be made public for the
present
1t was stated at the War Department
today that General Macarthur had made
no communication relative to Aguinaldo
today and that the attitude of this Gov
ernment toward the insurgent chief had
not changed. He is yet held as pris-
oner, and while he will be treated with
kindness there is no disposition to allow
him liberty until it is demonstrated that
he intends to comply fully with the
amnesty terms and his oath of allegiance
Aguinaldo is more than an ordinary
prisoner and it has not yet been deter
mined whether or not he is responsible
for violations of the laws of war. His
capture was made with a view of Sc
curing results and while General Mac
Arthurs dispatches indicate that these
EE5ullS Will DE very Satisfactory Iuey
have not yet followed.
IT is understood that Aguinaldo would
like certain assurance or promises from
the Government and the message in
formed General Macarthur just what the
Government would do. While it is beliv-
ed that the nsurrection would end be-
fcre long without the assistance OF Agui-
naldo the Government would be glad
cation of the islands if it can be done
consistently with Aguinaldos former at
titude and consistently with what the
best interests of the United States in
the islands are believed to demand. Re-
ports received today show that small
bands are constantly surrendering in the
Philippines and that general conditions
are most satisfactory to the military au>

A PANIC IN CEREALS
of Bushels of Long
Stuff Thrown Over on
Falling Prices.

Chicago, Ills, April 3.-Bulls in grain
met their Waterloo on the Board of
Trade today when millions of Bushels
of long stuff were thrown overheard
on crumbling quotations, which ceased
falling only quarter of an hours be-
fore the close.
Heavy bull speculation headed by
George H. Phillips, who manipulated a
squeeze in November corn and thereby
obtained a large following, had sue
ceeded in keeping May corn up close to
the As cents mark for several days last
week. On Saturday professional short
selling, reinforced hy Increasing re-
ceipts, began to tell on the market.
Phillips credited with holding nearly
100000 bushels of corn, about half as
much May oats and 100000 or 5000, 900
May wheat, was called for $685. 600 mar
gins. He responded promptly and or
Monday it was thought the short sellers
had run their course. During the latter
part of the Monday session, however,
the hears redoubled their efforts and it
was said that Phillips was again called
for $500, 600 more margins. AS there was
no session yesterday, a measure Of con-
f1dence BEGAN to run through the bull
ranks. Bears took advantage of the
interim in this market however,
to pound prices on the outside exchange
and at Liverpool and when the
longs came up at the opening today they
Immediately saw that their hopes were
we'll nigh gone Wheat started the panic
by opening at a decline Of a cent all
around Corn did likewise. Oats were
also very weak. Phillips brokers were
said to be inactive. The bears were not
however, and by noon they had the longs
in a pocket. Millions of bushels OF wheat
corn and oats were thrown on the mark
ct, regardless of price. While Phillips let
go of immense holdings ON the declines
there were no signs whatever of any
financial difficulties on the exchange
