General. this is Chief Aguipaldo.'
The American commander gasRed
incredulously. But when he peered q
second time at the sallow counte-
nance of the indomitable Filipino he
realized that the object for which
more than a year of time and the eff
forts of thousands of soldiers had
been expended fruitlessly was at
tanned at last.

was that the instruction would die
out as soon as the hostile natives

leader was prisoner. He had an inn
mediate audience with Aguinaldo,
whom he treated with. great consid-
Grafton. Gen. Macarthur, however,
would not divulge anything that

tempt at escape on the part of

adherents to rescue him.

MacArthur's dispatch announcing the
capture, which came about midnight
Wednesday night. Thursday morning
the presidentalso saw Remey's
cablegram and the press dispatches.
President Highly Gratiaed.
The president naturally is very much
gratified that the chief mover in the
instruction has at last been taken. It
has been the opinion of the military
authorities for q long time that Agui-
naldo was doing more than all the
other agencies combined to keep the
rebellion in the Philippines alive, and
every energy was directed to compass
his capture. It is rather q remarkable
tribute to the daring and resourceful-
ness Of Gen. Funston that long be.
fore he made the attempt he was Sc
lected by the authorities here as the
officer who might accomplish it. It
was the intention Of Gen. Funston
some time ago to return to the United
States, but by direction of the war
department he was detained in the
Philippines in the hope that just such
contingency as did arise should give
him the opportunity to test his Prov
ess. Both the president and war de-
partment were fully informed of the
trap laid to capture the insurgent
and the result of the expedition has
been anxiously awaited for several
days.
Marks Final Collapse.
Jolo, Island of Sulu, March 29.-The
news of the capture of Aguinaldo is
reinforced here by the report of the
surrender of Capisbrano. in northern
Mindanao. President Taft, of the Phil
ippine commission, says that this and
the surrender of Gen. Trias and many
other insurgents in Luzon and the
Visaya islands is fifty crowned by the
capture of Aguinaldo, which marks the
final collapse of the insurrection.
They Favor Peace.
Manila, March 30.-Aguinaldo re-
ceived number of former insurgent
leaders in his quarters here yester-
day. Gen. Trias told Aguinaldo why
he surrendered, and said continu-
ance Of armed opposition to the Unit
ed States was unjustifiable and ruin
Gus. and that the independence of the
Philippines was impossible, and that
the Filipinos would better accept lib
erty, prosperity and progress under
American rule.
Important Surrender.
Manila, March 30.-The most impor-
tant surrender resulting from the
capture Of Aguinaldo was made yes
terday by Gen. Geronimo, the insur-
gent leader in the province of Morong,
Luzon. 1.-THE surrender of the entire
Filipino force is bound to follow" said
Gen. Geronimo. "Aguinaldo's capture
means the end of our struggle"

stroke. AS q result of the conferences
now in progress it is probable that
Aguinaldo will issue an address adj
vising general surrender, delivery of

premacy." Gen. Macarthur says that
all credit must be given to Gen. Fun
