AguinaldO Reconsiders.

Washington, AprillS. --Aguinald,
has reconsidered his promise 10 IS
sue an address TO the insurgents ir
arms, advising them to snrrendel
and accept American sovereignty
Additional pressure which will
be applied by Major General Mac
Arthur may have the effect of in
ducins him to return to his origina
purpose.
Officials Of The War Department
who were at first insistent in theil
belief that a proclamation iron
Agulnaldo would have an excellent
effect in ending the surrcctIon
now profess to place little latin in
the result OF such doc ument and
assert that they care little whether
Agulnaldo signs It or not.
Under date OF March 30, Ma ior
General Macarthur caDled Sc ere.
tary Root that LAS result of con-
ferences now in progress, probably
Aguinaldu will issue an address
advising acceptance OF Amer an
supremacy. Three weeks have
passed and the address has not
yet appeared. There has been
frequent exchange Of cablegrams
between Secretary Root and Gener.
al Macarthur relating TO Agulnal,
dos attitude, but these are kept
secret for reasons oil State.
Enough was learned today, how
ever, to show that Aguin aldo is dis
inclined to comply with General
Mac Artbur's wishes, and this
change is ascrlbed to his former
counselors in Manila, with whom
he was permitted to communicate.
If Aguinaldo refuses to aid this
government in etfecting the surren-
der OF the Filipinos in arms, the
authorities say he can be tried tor
violation OF the laws of war and
severely punished. General Mac
Arthur has doubtless taken oc :
casion TO impress upon Agulnaldo
the delicate position he occupies.
There is curious report con.
corning the distinguished prisoner
at Manila in circulation at the War
Department which is only whis-
pered by responsi Bile officers. 1t is
that the lnsurgent captured by
General Funston is not Emilio Agui.
naldo but cousin of the insurgent
chef. When asked concerning the
identity of the prisoner, Secretary
Root aud other officials of the de.
partment insist that he is Emilio
Aguinaldo and no other.
AL Of General MacArthur's dis
patches are specific OH this point.
Some OF them refer to conferences
Aguinaldo has had with Filipinos
known to be fir iendly to the United
States, and it is said that il there
was any doubt as to whom the pris.
oner is, Secretary Root would Ger.
talnly have been definitely apprised
OF it before now.

The Worlds Ork,

Evidence continues to accumulate that
the Cubnus will eventually accept our pro-
posal and public opinion in both coun.
tries is fast adjusting itself to such SOL
Element. 1t is a settlement that will be
honorable and advantageous to both par
ties Cuba will begin its career Of indspen-
dence with advantages that no other part
of America south Of the United States has
bad, and we shall have established Il prin-
cipie for the settlement OF our whole Co
lonial,' problem.
This practical settlement. OF the relation
of uba to tho United States has ye'a t.
tracted less notice in tho world than iJ
will attract when Cuba formally becomes

few instances In history OF nation com
