For a long time he could not be induced to

cause he knew that the people in that part
of Luzon had not high regard for him

Filipino Congress was obliged to meet at a

He had always feared the men of the

Luna were absolutely necessary to the
Filipino cause that he was willing TO give
them important places in the army.
One of the few known incidents OF Agui-

the occasional proclamations that have
emanated from his hiding places, was that
of his saving Lieutenant Gilmore and the

FIRE AT DANVILLE, IND.
BUILDINGS IN THE CENTRAL PART
OF THE CITY BURNING.
Loss Estimated at 3:3O o'clock This
Morning to BE $IOO,OOO-Some
of the Sufferers.

DANVILLE, Ind. March $3.50 a. m.-
Fire, which is supposed to be Of incendiary
origin, started early this morning in the
center of the business district on the north
side of the public square and the whole
half block is doomed. The square is the
site of McCouns drug store, Leachman' S
hardware, Fasts grocery. Dentsey & Lit
ties shoe store, the Odd Fellows Hall, Will
hite's jewelry store, Haines's drug store,
Curtis's restaurant, Reichard & Sons fur
niture store, Pope & Carter's general store,
c. l.. Thompson's drug store and ]. w.
Thompsons jewelry store.
The fire department is working hard at
this hour, but there appears to be no pos
sibility of stopping the fire before the de-
struction of these buildings. Sparks are
flying and there is great danger of the fire
spreading to other squares, although sixty
feet separate the square from other busi-
ness houses. The whole population is up
and assisting in the fight against the flames
There is no way to estimate the loss, but
it cannot be less than 100000.

MANILA, March 2S-11 a. m.-Aguinaldo
was captured with great difficulty. Valu-
able documents were found on his person.
LONDON, March pa dispatch from
Manila says that several members of Agui-
naldo's staff were captured with him and
brought to Manila. The insurgent leader
and his men were captured near Casigu-
ran.
A dispatch from Manila, printed in last
Sundays Journal, outlined General Fun
toms scheme for the capture of the willy
against cunning, and the Kansan won. The
dispatch said: General Funston is now
engaged in daring project which promis-
e. to be the greatest and most romantic
achievement of his eventful career. In
January, from his hiding place in the prov
ince Of Isabella, AgIIinaldo wrote letters
anathematizing the subchiefs who had
taken the oath of allegiance to the United
States. Later Aguinaldo organized insurg-
ent forces in southern Luzon to join him
IN a rendezvous in Isabella province. The
rebel officer intrusted with these orders
secretly negotiated with the Americans
On securing the necessary information
General Funston planned Aguinaldo's cap
ture and. with General Macarthur au-
thorizatiOn General Funston proceeded,
two weeks ago, TO make the attempt. Gen
eral Funston, with Surgeon Major Harris,
Captain Newton, of the Thirty-fourth In
fantry; Lieutenant Admire, OF the twenty
second Infantry; Lieutenant Mitchell, OF
The Fortieth Infantry; six veteran scouts
and a company of native scouts, all picked
men, embarked on the gunboat Vicksburg
and were landed on a remote beach above
BaIer 1t was arranged that Aguinaldos
emissary, with the native scouts. should
pass themselves off as insurgent troops.
who. having captured General Funston and
others, were taking them as prisoners to
Aguinaldo. At the right time. when
brought before Aguinaldo, General Funs-
ton was TO give signal, when the tables
were TO be turned and Aguinaldo was to
be seized. Six days march into the interior
were contemplated. Treachery was consid-
cred possible. but every precaution was
taken. The troops in New Viscaya and
New LEILA and the gunboats vicksburg and
Albany were to cooperate with General
Funston's forces"
The province of Isabella, where the cap
ture of Aguinaldo occurred, is about zVo
miles northeast OF Manila and about seven
ty-fve miles north of Baler. on the eastern
coast, which place was made memorable
by the capture of Lieutenant Gilmore ana
his party from the gunboat Yorktown, IN
April. 1899. Isabella province is wild and
mountainous, and especially along the
coast. where the high range known as the
Grand Cordellinas Oriente extends for a
hundred miles or more from north TO SOUTH
the highest point of the range being. but a
few miles from the shore. Rugged trails.
in some places but a foot or two in width,
lead across the mountains, frequently
crossed by rushing streams, and where
these overflow their banks the trails are
waist deep in mud. IL was to this uninVit-
ing district that General Funston and his
small band went a short time ago. IL was

his advisers. Coming so soon after the
surrenders reported by General Macarthur
OF prominent Filipino officers and the sue
cessful establishment of civil local govern
ment by the Taft commission, they feel
that the end of the rebellious warfare in
the Islands is near at hand With the ex-
pected collapse of further opposition, which
it is confidently believed will follow the
hope is expressed that it will not be neces-
sary To maintain such a large standing
army in the islands as is now contem-
plated
The disposition of Aguinaldo now that
he has been captured will be an interesting
one for the administrator to determine
The possibility of his capture at any time
always had been kept in view, and that of
his future has been a matter of informal
discussion by the officials here. 1t is not
believed, however, that any definite line of
action was ever determined on in regard to
the matter. The attitude of the govern
ment for long time past has been one of
comparative indifference to Aguinaldo's S
capture, it having been determined to crush
the rebellion without regard TO his where
abouts. His recent activity in directing the
course of operations against the American
forces probably brought about the recent
change in this attitude.
As the leader of an insurrection against
the United States government Aguinaldo
may be tried and executed, lesser punish
ment meted to him by executive clemency,
OF complete amnesty extended While the
question of punishment rests with the mil
itary authorities, it is believed the Pres
ident will make the matter one for deter
mination primarily by the authorities here.

WASHINGTON. March 27.-The British
government has protested against China's
making convention with any power touch
ing territorial or financial affairs until the
present troubles IN that country are con-
sidered The fact of the British protest
was made known here for the first time to-
day by a dispatch from one OF the foreign
offices in Europe. IT says that the protest
was made through Sir Ernest Satow, the
British minister at Peking. 1t does not
state when the representations were made.
but from the fact that the dispatch was
received in Washington to-day 1t is taken
that the protest occurred within the last
day or two. Although the Russian agree
ment is not specifically referred to. IL Is
said TO be clear that the British action Is
directed against the Russian government.
The language appears to be similar TO that
used by Secretary Hay in the American
protest. The effect of the British action is
to place the United States, Japan and
Great Britain in formal opposition TO the
any power pending the settlement OF the
Chinese troubles. The course OF Great
Britain is the more significant from the
fact that the government and Germany
have a written alliance relating to Chi
nese affairs.
The concurrence of these protests prob
ably explains why the Manchurian agree
ment has not been signed. There was no
inf II. a
the State Department or at any of the for
eign embas ssies as to whether the agree
ment had been signed or rejected. There
was something of a stir in diplomatic quar-
ters over the report, coming from official
sources. that the United States was con-
sdering the advisability of addressing Rus
sa directly on the subject Heretofore the
American objections TO the Manchurian
government have been addressed 10 China.
Copies were furnished the Russian authori-
ties. though the protest has been 10 China,
and not 10 Russia. Several of the foreign
representatives advised their governments
that this step was contemplated by the
United States, but there is no official In
formation available as to how far the con-
sideration of the move has proceeded.
Published reports having stated that
Hon. Alfred Z. Buck. the United states
minister TO japan, who is in this country
on a leave OF absence, has been ordered
TO return Immediately TO his post or duty
because of threatened entanglements be-
tween Japan and Russia, it is learned in
authoritative quarters tonight that there
is no truth in the reports Mr.. Bucks
sixty days leave of absence has about ex-
pired and he is about TO return to Japan in
the usual course OF events.
