ADVISED BY AGUINAlDO.
Late Insurgent Leader Tells CailIe.
to Surrender.

Manila, June 5.-Gueyarra. adjutant
to General Cables. had three hours
interview with Aguinaldo yesterday.
He said that Cables did not believe
that Aguinaldo had been captured and
consequently issued a proclamation
characterizing Aguinaldo's address to
the Filipino people as an American
trick. Aguinaldo, through Guevarra,
advised Cables to surrender immedi-
ately.
After this interview General Wade
and General Sumner informed Guevar-
IA that Cables must notify the latter
at Pagsanjan not later than next Mon
day of his decision in the matter. The
American generals declined to guaran-
tee that Cables would not be prose
cuted
General Trias, in company with
Senior Lucban, brother of the insurgent
leader still operating in Samar, has
gone to Samar island and will attempt
to induce Lucban to surrender.
Some of the leaders of the Federal
party have prepared a resolution in
which it is declared that the party will
disband unless the United States civil
commission reappoints several Filipino
judges who have recently been remov-
ed from office.
Upon the advice of the more rational
members of the party as well as GER
tain American authorities the resolu-
ton was Tot presented. The wisest of
the Federal leaders are convinced of
the lack Of wisdom in forcing discord,
especially at time when the admins
tration at Washington is about to con-
fer general civil government in the
archipelago.
The commission has resumed the or
ganization of civil governments In the

Beers IN CAPE COLONY
In Face of Pursuing Columns
They Capture jamestown.
THE FIGHT AT VLAKFONTEIN.

One of the Most Desperate Engage
ments of the War-Fifty British
Fell at the First yoIIey-Yeomnnry
Nearly Decimated.
London, June 5.-The war office last
night published the following dispatch
from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria.
June 4:
Jamestown. Cape Colony, surrender
ed to KritZinger's commando on the
morning of June 2 after four hours
fighting. The town guard and local vol
unteers We're overpowered before our
pursuing columns could come up.
"Our casualties We're three killed and
two wounded. The Boer loss is said TO
have been greater.
THE stores were looted. but the gar
rison was released.
Have placed General French In
charge of the operations in Cape Colo
n.y."
The appointment of General French,
who has been recruiting his health in
Cape Town, to command the opera
tons in Cape Colony indicates that
Lord Kitchener attaches much impor-
lance to the invasion. Thet recrudes-
cence of serious fighting brings further
demands for the sending out of re-en-
forcements.
British Casualties Heavy.
Details received regarding the fight
ing at Vlakfontein show that II was
one of the most desperate engagements
of the war. General Dixon's column
was traversing the district and estab-
fishing posts, when II was attacked by
1000 Beers under Commandant Kemp.
The Beers were so close that 30 British
fell at the first volley.
The yeomanry held the position. pro-
tectiRg the guns, until they were near
ly decimated, and then, finding Ii i'm
possible to save the guns, the artillery
men shot the gun horses TO prevent the
Beers moving the guns.
The column quickly recovered from
the shock of the unexpected attack.
The Derbyshires charged with bayo-
nets and after a short, desperate fight
drove off the Beers and recovered the
guns. The Derbyshires and yeomanry
both lost very heavily.
1t is asserted that while the Beers
had temporary possession of the guns
they shot two artillerymen in cold
blood for refusing to work them
against their own comrades.
A dispatch from johannesburg says
that many miners, refusing to accept
8 shillings a day, the rate fixed by mill
tary order, have gone on strike.

The president does not wish to post
pone or abandon the idea of establish
ing civil government in the Philippines
on July l. Announcement had been
made both in this country and the Phil
ippines that such was the intention of
the government, and the president was
impatient of any suggestion which
looked to the abandonment of this pro-
gramme. 1t was understood that Sec
rotary of War Root feared that the in
stallation of a civil government would
remove the presidents authority to en-
force tariff duties and make other or
ders and regulations deemed essential
in the conduct of Philippine affairs.
AS soon as the attorney general, Mr..
Knox, pointed out that civil govern
ment could be brought about i'll effect
and in fact through military order
and by the exercise of military power
Mr. Root entered heartily into the ar
rangement.
The plans of the Taft commission
will be carried out just as intended be-
fore the supreme court decisions were
handed down. The president will exer-
else the prerogatiye vested in him of
issuing n military order directing that
the government of the islands be con-
Quoted by civil employees.
In effect the decision of yesterday
does not alter the form and exercise of
authority In carrying out the policy of
the administration in the Philippines.

Washington, June 5.-There will be no
extra session of congress this present
summer. There may be an advanced
meeting of congress in the fall. Civil
government will be established in the
Philippine Islands on July 1 by mill
tary order from the president of the
United States.
These are the conclusions reached at
yesterdays cabinet meeting. The agree
ment was unanimous.
The plans of the administration, an
nounced hitherto, will be conducted by
the president through the continuation
of 1.-The war power"
Tariff duties will be levied, but the
coastwise trade laws will not be ex-
tended.
Ample Authority.
Ample authority for such procedure
exists in the general statute, according
to Attorney General Knox. The au-
thority granted by the Spooner amend
ment to the army appropriation law Is
confirmed. Additional authority is to
be assumed. The Philippines are not
on q civil basis and will not be so long
as they are subject to the control and
direction of the president of the United
States.
Even with the beginning of what is
called civil government on July L the
president intends the islands will con-
tinue to remain under military control
until congress shall have passed COM
plete laws changing the administration
of affairs to a positive civil law estab-
lishment. Civil government in the
Philippines merely is on trial and is up
held by the military authority.
1t has been the determination of the
president to avoid an extra session of
congress If a way could be found. He
welcomes the opinion of the attorney
general holding that he will be war
ranted in conducting the affairs of the
islands as he and his advisers deem
best for the interests of the people in
the islands and in the United States.
After full discussion of the opinion
rendered by the United States supreme
court in the Porto Rican cases the
conclusion has been reached that the
Porto Rican cases and the tariff case
which has arisen in the Philippines do
not stand on all fours. Indeed it was
admitted at the cabinet meeting that
the opinion is so technical in it's nature
as hardly to reach the primary princi-
pies involved in the exercise of the
presidents authority over the Philip
