FilipinOs Jeer at
Former Leader

Manila. March 81. - This morning
Aguinaldo was recognized by a crowd
OF natives going up the river in
lighter. The natives gazed at him
a while in silence. and then began to
jecr, calling him Emilio" and vile
names in the Tagalog language. The
guards quoted the disturbance and
Aguinaldo left the window in disgust.
The natives in Manila are undemon-
strative concerning Aguinaldo's cap
ture, and II is difficult to ascertain
what the majority Of them really think
of 1t. II is certain that Aguinaldo's in.
fluence is less than formerly, though
IL Is still great. The representative
OF the Associated Press has interview
ed many Filipinos. including both bus
mess and professional men in Manila,
as well as representatives Of the lower
classes and former insurgents, on the
capture Of Aguinaldo. The majority
of the persons questioned were un.
feignedly glad that Aguinaldo had
been captured, and that they consid.
cred that the worst obstacle to the
speedy paciflcation Of the islands had
been removed. Some men distrust
Aguinaldo and advise his immediate
deportation. Others believe he can
render vast assistance by urging his
countrymcn to acquiesce in American
authority. All men agree that the out.
look today Is much brighter.

JAPAN'S WAR SPIRIT

London. April /. - Japan has

convention" says a dispatch to the
Times from Toxic, dated Saturday,
but the result Is not yet known.
Japanese public opinion is very strong
on the subject. The Cabinet Is pru-
dent and pacific, but impressed by the
national enthusiasm, which is certain
to become uncomfortable II there is
any undue yielding.
The Yokohama correspondent of the
Daily Mail, who records various indi-
cations of preparations for war on the
part of the japanese, says: Inter
views have appeared with prominent
statesmen, all breathing the war spirit
and expressing the general opinion
that it is impossible to allow Russia
free hand in Manchuria. This is the
gravest crisis from the point of view
of Japan, since her war with China"
