She assured him that she was standing

At Adlers request the woman. timidly
and with her face Suffused with bushes,
lifted her skirts three or four inches, dis
playing a well-rounded cork ankle. She
explained that her artificial legs extended

HAPPY MRS. FUNSTON.
Many People Call at the Home

Manila, March 29.-When Aguinaldo
was captured he wore a plain dark blue
suit, with the coat closely buttoned at
the throat, ard wide white helmet,
with a leather band. He takes his cap

cheerful, but some times moody. His
health during the past year has been
very good. 1t is uncertain what attitude
he will now assume
Certain visitors are permitted to see
Aguinaldo but newspaper interviews
with the prisoner are not allowed.
Since Aguinaldo has been domiciled
at the Malacanan palace persons not
provided with special permits have been
denied admission to the grounds.
General Trias. the commander of the
insurgent forces in southern Luzon. who
recently surrendered to the American
authorities, visited Aguinaido and told
the latter why he surrendered. Trias
said that a continuance of armed oppo-
sition to the United States was unjus-
tifiab1e and ruinous; that the independ-
ence of the Philippines was impossible,
and that the Filipinos would better ac-
cept liberty, prosperity and progress
under American rule.
The capture of Aguinaldo, following
the surrender of General Trias, win
probably occasion the surrender of the
insurgent leader Malavar, in Batangas
province, Luzon; Bella rmino, in Albay
province, Luzon4 and Lucban, in the
island of Samar, within q month. Many
people visited the residence of General
and Mrs. Funston. on the Gale Real. in
