FUNSTON IS SAYING NOTHING
Gallant Kansas Officer Declines to
Discuss the Capture of the IN
surgent Chieftain-Mrs.
Funston Elated.

MANILA. March 29.-Aguinaldo is now
detained in a comfortable room in
wing of the Malalanan palace. He is in
charge of Capt. Benjamin H. Randolph
and Lieut. Gilbert A. Ycungberg, Of Bat
terry G., Third artillery.
When Aguinaldo was captured, he wore
a plain dark blue suit, with the coat
closely buttoned at the throat, and
wide. white helmet with a leather band.
He takes his capture philosophically. He
is generally cheerful, but sometimes
moody. His health during the past year
has been very good. It 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 Malalanan palace, persons not pro-
vided with special permits have been
denied admission to the grounds.
TRJAS ADVISES SURRENDER
Gen Trias, the commander Of the in
Surgent forces in Southern LuZOn, who
recently surrendered TO the American
authorities visited Aguinaldo and told
the latter why he surrendered. Trias
said that a continuance of armed oppo-
siti0n to the United States was unjusti-
fable and ruinous, that the independence
Of the Philippines was impossible and
that the Filipinos would better accept
liberty, prosperity and progress under
American rule.
The capture of Aguinaldo, following
the surrender of Gen. Trias will probably
occasion the surrender of the insurgent
leaders Malavar, in Batangas province,
Luzon; Bellarmino, in Luzon, and I.uc-
ban in the island of Samar, within a
month.
Many people today visited the rest
dence of Gen. and Mrs Funston on the
Gale Real, in the suburb of Ermita.
The general modestly declines to talk
Mrs. Funston was evidently the happiest
woman in the Philippine islands.
Gen. Funston has been recommended
for the highest practicable reward. 1t Is
believed here that he will receive an ap-
pointment as brigadier general in the
regular army.
On arriving in these waters the United
States gunboat Vicksburg stopped eight
miles out and in response to a signal
exchanged with Corregidor island,
launch appeared from the shore of Cor
rtgidor and Aguinaldo was quietly trans
ferred to the launch which steamed up
the Pasig river to the wharf at the back
Of the Malalanan palace where the pris-
oner disembarked almost unnoticed.
FILIPINOS APPARENTLY UNINTER-
ESIED.
Some hours elapsed before the news OF
ASuinaldo's capture was generally
known. The fact that he was a prisoner
caused JOY and congratulation among
the Americans. The native population
was apathetic. There was no particular
excitement anywhere
After being convinced of Aguinaldo's
capture, Gen Geronimo, the insurgent
leader in the province Of Morong, Luzon,
has surrendered with six officers, forty
six men and fifty rifles to Col. j. Milton
Thompson, of the Forty-second regiment
at San Ms0teo
AS the news Of Aguinaldo's capture
spreads through the archipelago, the i'll.
Surgents are becoming disEeartened and
there is marked increase in the num-
Der of individual SurrenderS
Gen. Cailles, who is practically out
laWed on account of his atrocious crimes
sent an emissary to Gen. Bates. who
answered that he must surrender un-
conditionally and stand trial
The former insurgent officers and the
Macabebe scouts, who took part in the
capture of Aguinaldo will probably re-
ceiVe a monetary reward The amount
has not been specified. It has also been
recommended that every man participant
ing in the capture Of Aguinaldo receive
a special medal.
