AGUINALDO CAPTURED.
tNSURGENT CHIEFtOATHEREDI IN
BY FUNSTON.
General Funston. With Ten Americans and
accompany of Natives, Entrap Agui-
naldo In His Retreat-Believsd
War WIN Now End

General Frederick Funston's daring
project in the capture of Aguinaldo in
his hiding place in the province of Isa.
bella, Island of Luzon, has proved
completely successful, Aguinaldo was
captured there on March 90
The United States gunboat vicks-
burg, Commander E. b. Barry, with
General Funston and Aguinaldo on
board, arrived at Manila Wednesda v
morning.
The province of Isabella, where the
capture of Aguilnaldo occurred is on
the island of Luzon, about 200 miles
northeast of Manila, and about SEVENTH
five niles north of Baler, on the east
eru coast, which place was made mem
orable by the capture of Lieut.. Gill
more and his party from the gunboat
york town" in April, 1899.
Isabella province is wild and noun
famous, especially along the coast
where the high range known as the
Grand Cordilleras Oriente extends for
a hundred miles or more from north
to south, the highest point of the
range being but few miles from the
shore. Rugged trails, in some places
being but foot or two in width,
across the mountains, frequently
crossed by rushing streams, and where
these overflow their banks, the trails
are ~ q Is = daan Ia ,,,,J
1t was to this uninviting district
that Gen. Funston and his small band
went short time ago. 1t was part
of the island that had never before
been visited by American troops
General Funston's plan was to march
into the mountains in custody as pris-
oners, ostensibly, of band of Fill
pino soldiers, but really in command
of a trusted band of natives. He was
to be brought before Aguinaldo. At
signal, Aguinaldo was to be secured
all opposition beaten Off and d return
to Manila effected. The daring band
was few in numbers, and consisted of
ten Americans and company of ma
tive troops.
With the expected collapse of further
opposition, which it is confidently be-
lieved will follow, the hope is expressed
that it will not be necessary to main
tain such large standing army in the
islands as is now contemplated.
The disposition of Aguinaldo, now
that he has been apprehended, will be
an interesting one for the administra-
tion to determine. The possibility Of
his capture at any time always has
been kept in view, and that of his fu-
ture has been a matter of informal dis
cussion by the officials 1t is not be-
lieved, however, that any definite line
of action was ever determined upon in
regard to the matter.

Judge Beatty Decides Idaho Law Infringe
ment on Interstate Commerce.
Judge Beatty Saturday decided the
Utah-Idaho sheep quarantine case in
favor of the Utahns, admitting to
Idaho those bands of speep that had
been inspected by DIR. II. NJ Rowe,
deputy United States stock inspector,
and found to be free from disease.
There are 30,750 of these sheep and
they belong to Jessie NJ Smith, Nelson
Bros, enjamin Meek, William Aylett,
John Egbert, |. J. Freeman and Jo-
seph r. Oleson, nine of the twenty
two complainants. The bands, about
10000 sheep, of the other complainants
are to be admitted IL, after an inspec-
tion by the Idaho sheep inspector and
DIR. John McBirney, government In
spector located in Boise, they are
shown to be free from disease.
Judge Beatty held that stoppage OF
Utah sheep free from disease at the
Idaho line constituted an infringement
of interstate commerce laws.

TO BUILD RESERVOIRS.
Geological Survey Soon to Begin Work on
Grand Undertaking.

Several parties from the geological
survey, comprising in all about 100
men, will begin work soon on the Cali
fornia-Nevada border that is expected
to involve an immense amount of labor
aud the ultimate expenditure OF about
10000, 900 distributed over a period of
about ten years. This is a project to
build large reservoirs on the California
side of the California-Nevadal line and
the reclamation of the fertile lands on
the Nevada side. Chief photographer
f. Ii. Newell says that the lack of con-
servation of the water sources accounts
for steady loss of population in Ne
vada. The parties, which will begin
operations shortly, viii work mainly
along the Truckee, Carson and Walker
rivers. They will measure the volume
of the streams, the capacity of reser-
voirs and estimate the cost of building
them. In the valleys the water which
can be used to the best advantage will
be ascertained.

1t was thought that the man had been

was found under his eye and the bullet
had pierced his brain and broken his
neck. 1t is believed that he was a res
ident of that city, but his name has

Filipinos Urge Aguinaido to Use His Infiu-
encc for Peace.

Aguinaldo, since his capture, has
conferred with several former mem bers
of his cabinet and other prominent
Filipinos, whom he has asked to see.
They explained to him the hopeless
ness of the insurgent cause and advised
him to use his influence to establish
peace and for the recognition of Amer
lean sovereignty. The result of the
conferences is as yet unknown.
General Trias, the commander of the
insurgent forces in southern Luzon,
who recently surrendered to the Amer
ican authorities, visited Aguinaldo and
told the latter why he had surrendered.
Trias said that continuance of armed
opposition TO the United States was
unjustifiable and ruinous; that the in
dependence of the Philippines was inn
possible, and that the Filipinos would
better accept liberty, prosperity and
progress under American rule.
The capture of Aguinaldo, following
the surrender of General Trias, will
probably occasion the surrender of the
insurgent leader Malavar in Batangas
province, Luzon; Ballaramino, in Albay
province, Luzon; and Lucban, in the
island of Samar, within a month.

Emperor Delivers an Address That Amazes

Them.
Emperor William, in the course of a
speech to the Alexander regiment in
the courtyard of the barracks Thurs
day said, according to the Kreuz

day and night to act as the bodyguard
of their king and give their lifeblood
If necessary for the emperor and his
house. Calling to mind the events of
184S, his majesty said that if such days
should come again the regiment would
certainly repress all insubordination or
misconduct against the king.
Amazement is everywhere expressed
at the emperor's strong hints of pos
sible revolutionary rising and of street
fights with the troops. Well informed
circles see in his majesty's deliverance
further proof that the attack on him
by Weiland at Bremen has very serious
ly affected his views and attitude to-
ward the German people.
