IS as IOflOWs: II hope for speedy
cessation Of hostilities throughout the
archipelago as a consequence of this
stroke. AS result of the conferences
now in progress it is probable that
Aguinaldo will issue an address adj
vising general surrender, delivery of
arms and acceptance of American SUI
premacy." Gen. Macarthur says that
all credit must be given to Gen. Fun
ston for the capture of Aguinaldo and
recommends that he be made brig
adler general in the regular army.
The conferences referred to in the
dispatch are believed at the war de-
partment to mean conferences with
other insurgent leaders by army Off
GERS or by the Taft commission.
The News in Warrington.
Washington, March 29.-The news
Of Gen. Aguinaldo's capture. by Gen.
Funston was received everywhere in
official circles with Intense gratifca-
tion, but, perhaps, nowhere did it Gre
ate more satisfaction than at the
white house. The first official news to
reach the executive mansion was Gen.
MacArthur's dispatch announcing the
capture, which came about midnight
Wednesday night. Thursday morning
the president also saw Admiral Remey's
cablegram and the press dispatches.
President Highly Gratifed.
The president naturally is very much
gratified that the chief mover in the
insurrection has at last been taken. 1t
has been the opinion of the military
authorities for long time that Agui-
naldo was doing more than all the
other agencies combined to keep the
rebellion in the Philippines alive, and
every energy was directed to compass
his capture. It is rather remarkable
tribute to the daring and resourceful-
ness of Gen. Funston that long be-
fore he made the attempt he was Sc
lected by the authorities here as the
officer who might accomplish it.
Marks Final Collapse.
Jolo, Island of Sulu, March 2e.-The
news of the capture of Aguinaldo is
reinforced here by the report of the
surrender of Capisbrano, in northern
Mindanao. President Taft, of the Phil
ippine commission, says that this and
the surrender Of Gen. Trias and many
other insurgents in Luzon and the
Visaya islands is fifty crowned by the
capture of Aguinaldo, which marks the
final collapse of the Instruction. j
They Favor Peace. -
Manila, March 3O.-Aguinaldo re-
ceived number of former insurgent
leaders in his quarters here yester-
day. Gen. Trias told Aguinaldo why
he surrendered, and said a continu-
ance of armed opposition to the Unit
ed States was unjustifable and ruin
Gus, and that the independence of the
Philippines was impossible, and that
the Filipinos would better accept lib
erty, prosperity and progress under
American rule ..,g.,4a;r# - =.
