Leader OF Filipino --oops Has Agreed
to Surrender to American
Authorities.

Manila, June 17.--Cols. Infant and
Guivara, representatives of Gen.
Cailles, have signed the name of their
principal to an agreement to surren-
der. Under the terms of this agree
ment Gen. Cailles is to assemble his
men at Santa Cruz, G~guna province,
as quickly as possible and there sur
render himself and his command to
the American authorities. The exact
number of his force is uncertain, but
there will probably be more than 500.
Washington, June 17.-Officials of
the war department are very well
pleased with the prospective sur
render of Gen. Cailles, the Filipino in
surgent leader. Advices received at
the department indicated that this
would occur soon. Cailles is man
of considera BILE influence. and with
| his backing of some hundreds of
| men had been menace to the efforts
of the military authorities to stamp
| out the rebellion in Luzon. His ca
pitulation, therefore, is regarded with
| much satisfaction by the authorities
here, who say they see in it another
evidence of the general disintegration
of the insurgent forces.
tFor more than n year past Gen. Cailles
| has commanded the irsurgent forces op-
| Grating on the east side of Bay lake, north
| of Manila. He is said to be French half
caste, and during the last revolution he
has acquired a reputation for vindictive-
| ness and cruelty. The Society of Mando-
| Ducats. whose practice II was to assassin
| ate and bury alive those of their country
men who accepted American sovereignty
| whenever the latter fell into their hands,
| operated with the cognizance, IL not the
| support, of Gen. Cailles. At one time
| Cailles offered reward of ten dollars for
| the heads of all Americans brought to him
and. more recently. he offered a reward of
$4,000 for the head of Cant. Edward n.
Jones. Jr., of the Eighth infantry. Since
| the capture of Aguinal6o Cailles, who was
| one of the few insurgent leaders who did
not surrender under the terms of amnesty
| has been persistently pursued by the Amer
| lean troops. He was declared to have
been wounded in one engagement last
month, and negotiations for his surrender
have been going on with Gen. Summer for
some weeks past. He was declared TO be
an outlaw by the American authorities. and
this fact, which meant that he could not
expect to enjoy immunity for his past deeds
and violations of honorable warfare but
would have to stand trial on the many
charges against him. doubtless compelled
him to prolong his resistance. The mem
bers of the federal party advised him to
surrender, but this he persistently refused
to do until he saw that his capture was in
evitable. Cables was n man with consid-
cradle influence with the Filipino people
and an aggressive fighter. He kept his
followers well in hand. his system of mobil-
iZation was excellent. In the mountains of
Laguna province, where Cailles practically
confined his operations, he had many ad-
vantages over the American troops fire.

their efforts futile. He Is credited with the
Sinaloan affair of last year. In which a
small body of American troops were badly
cut up. losing more than 30 per cent. of the
number engaged. Cailles at one time de-
clared himself to be Agulnaldo's successor
