THE PHILIPPINE SITUATION.
New York, March 2S.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Adiutant General Corbin is actively
studying the general features OF the
new military policy to be put in force
in the Philippines after he and Secre-
tary Root have visited the Islands and
made a close inspection of the situa-
ton. Corbin said that General MacAr-
thur would be succeeded in command
at Manila by General Chaffee on June
3d. and he and the secretary of war
earnestly desired to be in the Philip
pines before that transfer is made.
THE PRESIDENT PLEASED.
Washington, March 2S.-The news OF
Aguinaldo's capture by General Fun
ston was received everywhere by oH1-
cials with intense qualification, but
perhaps, nowhere did it create more
satisfaction than in the white house. II
has been the opinion of military au'
thorities a long time that Aguinalde
was doing more than all other agencies
combined to keep the rebellion IN the
Philippines alive, and every energy was
directed to compass his capture. Il
was the intention of Funston some time
ago to return to the United States, bu
by the direction of the war department
he was detained in the Philippines II
the hope that just such contingenc!
as did arise should give him an oppor
tunity to test his prowess.
