the situation is In Luzon now. do
believe, however that the capture of
Aguinaldo. and his acceptance of
American authority will have a bene-
fetal effect and no doubt a strong ten
dency to bring about peace and order,
Some of the leaders will probably come

ample and again they may be ambl-
tious and desire to become leaders in
his stead Alejandrino. who has been
spoken of as Aguinaldo's possible sue
cessor, Is an able and intelligent Fill
Pine. but | understand that his COM
mand is well scattered and small. Tino

perhaps 5000 men, with more or less
loose and disconnected organization d.
