The Example of Paganini.

A story is told of how Paganini once
came into the concert room. took the
violin and touched the strings First
one string broke, and smile went
round the room; then another string
broke. and there was more audible ex-
preston of mockery When third
string broke. many people laughed out
right at his discontinue. But Paga-
mini stood forth with his violin as
though nothing had happened and
played on the one string. and the peo-
pie ceased to smile. but listened spell
bound. Some of those who had derid-
ed him began to weep. and some even
prayed.
Many a man had fallen helpless by
the wayside when some great catas-
trophe turned the current Of his life
aside. The brave man pushes forward
with one remaining talent and plucks
victory from defeat.

was, IN fact, a case of fighting the devil
with fire If a large force had gone
against Aguinaldo. he would not have
been found But it was a kind of STRAIT
egy of their own thought, and it appears
to have succeeded perfectly.
Agulnaldo is a most amiahle little
Fellow He does not have the education
with which he has been credited, and he
was not really the brains OF the insur-
rection- Mabini was really the brains
of the Filipino rebellion and Aguinaldo
was the active leader / admit I did
not give him credit for the abilities that
he has shown, but he is certainly not a
man of very great ability. One thing 1
wonder about is that the dispatches to-
day from Manila describe him as talking
freely When I first saw him he was
notably reticent. and a good deal of his
strength came from the fact that he
did not talk much. The people believed
he was invulnerable, however, and that
no harm could be done to him There
was a story current, in fact, that a dozen
men had stood up and fired at him as
test. suppose there were no bullets
in the guns. That story went every

stitious, and they believed that no. harm
could befall him. 1t Will take some time
now for the news to get around of the
capture, and at first the people will re-
fuse to believe it. but after the news
does finally get around through the ISL
ands, l fully believe that organized re-

LONG CHERISHED IDEA.
Funston Wanted to Capture Agui-
naldo With Twentieth Kansas.

Kansas City, March 2S.-Gen. Funston,
while colonel of the Twentieth Kansas
regiment in February, 1899, submitted
his first plan to capture Aguinaldo to
Ger Macarthur, who rejected it because
of the lack of soldiers, according to i
story of a newspaper man, who served
under the Kansas officer at the time
Just previous to the outbreak of Feb
ruary 4, 1S99 Aguinaldo maintained his
headquarters at CalOocan. He was a
familiar figure to the members of the
marded by Gen. Funston. It was neces-
pos guard on his way from Caloocan
to Manila, to which place he made FIRE
quent trips until three days before the
beginning of hostilities. Despite the fact
that he had become well known to tie
Kar sas sentinels they would always in

the pass signed by Gen. Otis permitting
him to enter and leave the city.
Following the capture of CaIoocar
February 10, many of the insurgents re-
treated to MalabOn, a city of some size
located on q strip of land jutting out tn
sea Immediately south of Caloocan and
accessible from Caloocan by a wi lie
stone bridge. Col Funston submitted
a plan to Gen. Macarthur to capture
Aguinaldo.

bridge, capture the town and Aguinaido

AeUINALDo's FUTURE.
Various Opinions Expressed in ofRc-
ial Circles

Washington, March 2S.-Army officers
who have been in the Philippines were
very much interested in the news from
Manila, and some of them discussed the
military judicial features of the case. 1t
was pointed out that Aguinaldo could be
held as a prisoner of war until the close
of the war. Another phase of the ques-
ton, relating to the proclamations and
orders of Aguinaldo tending to secure
the assassination and massacre of
Americans, Europeans and friendly Fill
pinos, without regard to their activity in
the prosecution of the war on the in
surgents, was discussed. It was said
that in case these proclamations and
orders could be proved, Aguinaldo would
be subjected to trial by military COM
mission for violation of the rules of war
and he could not claim immunity under
the ordinary conduct Of war.

ippine archipelago just issued by the

FUNsToN wAs SELECTED.
War Department Kept Him in Philip
pines to Catch AguinaIdo.

Washington. March 2S.-The news Of
General Aeuinaldo's capture by General
Funston was received everywhere in
official circles with intense qualification.
but perhaps nowhere did it create more
satisfaction than at the White House.
The first official news to reach the ex-
ecutive mansion was General MacAr-
thurs dispatch announcing the capture,
" hich came about midnight last night.
This morning the president also saw
Admiral Remey's cablegram and the
press dispatches
The president naturally IS very much
gratifed that the chief mover in the in
surrection has at last been taken. 1t
has heen the opinion Of the military au-
thorities for long time that Aguinaldo
was doing more than all the other
agencies combined to keep the rebellion
in the Philippines alive. and every en-
ergy was directed 10 compass his cap
ture
It is rather a remarkable tribute to
the daring and resourcefulness of Gen
eral Funston that long before he made
the attempt he was selected by the au-
thorities here as the officer who might
accept it. 1t was the intention of Gen
eral 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 such a
contingency as did arise would give him
the opportunity to test his prowess.
Both the president and war department
were fully informed Of the trap laid TO
capture the insurgent chief and the
result Of the expedition has been anx-
iously awaited for several days.

the noted prisoner should be well
spanked"
This idea as to the treatment to be
accorded Aguinaldo seems to be the one
most generally accepted among officials
and while the suggestion of spanking is
used in a hgurative sense there is no
suggestion in any quarter that he will
meet with that rigorous punishment at
times administered to the arch head of
insurrection.
Particularly in the war department did
the capture of Asuinaldo cause discus
sion among the officials AS to the dis
position to be made of the famous pris-
oner some of the army officers expressed
the opinion that it would prove trouble
Some. Secretary Root said he remern-
bered the capture of jefferson Davis, also
the arrest of VIM NJ. Tweed, both of
which embarrassed the authorities. The
secretary desired further advices from
General Macarthur before discussing the
matter in great detail. He would say
little or nothing about the disposition of
Aguinaldo further than that he probably
would be treated the same as other high
officers of the insurgents who have been
taken by the Americans in the prosecu-
ton of the war
