MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.
AgOneillO Says War Will Go On
just the Same.

Paris March ga representative Of
the Associated Press communicated to
Agoncillo the Filipino representative, the
news of the capture of Aguinaldo Agon-
clio, who occupies a nicely furnished
apartment in a. house in a central Paris
street, apparently surrounded by every
comfort, laughed and said:
q do not believe it I have received
nothing by cable, and until receive con-
frmatory advices, I shall continue to
ignore the news
Asked if the announcement were true.
what effect It would have on the insur-
rection, AgOncillo replied emphatieally:
None, except the loss of true patriot
and a clever general The feeling of the
Filipino people and their determination
to fight out the struggle for independence
will remain unshakable.
Il received a cablegram only yesterday
which informed me that the Philippine
leaders have not modified their persist
ent attitude concerning the continuance
of the war. Whatever distractions may
have taken place in favor of the Amerl-
cans, the Philippine people as a whole are
resolved to accept nothing short Of in
When Agoncillo was asked what effect
the capture of Aguinaldo would have on
the campaign he said council OF the
leading Fjlipinos would simply meet and
elect another military chief to prosecute
the war, adding that if Aguinaldo and
his general staff were captured. many
AgonciIlo was asked who he though
was likely to be chosen to succeed Aguin-
aldo, and said he thought General Ale
clever military leader and enjoyed the
confidence of the people
In reply to a question as to whether
the Filipinos had enough money to con-
Hnue the war indefinitely, Agoncillo
smiled and replied:

new Y. N. CA. BUILDING
Movement on Foot to Erect One
by Railroad Branch.

The railroad z. NJ. c. A. Of Topeka has
started a movement for the erection OF
a new building at this place. The large
number of railroad men who patronize
the association and the present. cramp-
ed quarters have forced the subject upon
the officers of the organization. Should
the bond proposition carry a the coming
election, which seems entirely probable,
the association will be in need of larger
and better quarters. Secretary 7. e.
Prout has had the idea in mind for
some time and now the success of his
plans depends upon what step the Off
Gals OF the Santa Fe will take toward
aiding him in his project of raising the
necessary money. Regarding this Secre-
tary Prout said:
The cost of building would involve
an outlay of possibly from 200 to $780,
goo. There is no doubt but a large part
OF this amount could be raised by sub
scriptions among the railroad men.
While the Santa F'e Railroad company,
department, will undoubtedly do all
that is necessary on their part, as they
did at Argentine, Kan, Temple and Gle
bourne, Texas"
Should another building be erected. it
will be located more conveniently for the
shop men though but little attention has
been paid to these details as yet
The finest railroad 7. NJ. c. A. build
ing is at Argentine, built about two
years ago at a cost of $40 1000, about half
of which the Santa F'e company contrib
uted. The proposition will probably be
submitted to the officials in a few days.

JAPAN HAS BEST NAVY.
Little Kingdom Could Defeat Russia
in q Sea Contest.

New York, March 2S.-If the Japanese
intend to rely largely upon their avail
able sea power in contest with Russia,
Japan Is now not only equal but superior
in force to Russia in Asiatic waters, says
the Washington correspondent OF the
Times. The Russian fleet now stationed
in Asia and available for service against
Japan numbers 81 vessels, exclusive OF
torpedo boats with an aggregate ton
mage Of 130,940 The japanese feet, ex-
elusive of torpedo boats, consists Of 81
vessels of z07,903 tons. Not only does
Japan enjoy a superiority of tonnage TO
the extent Of nearly n 900 tons, but she
has some ships Of very great power and
the promise OF great efficiency, and she
would enter a struggle with prestige
that would at least worry the people at
St. Petersburg.
Russia's fleet available at present for
service against Japan includes some
large ships, but her battleships are
smaller and older than those of Japan
Japan's list includes about all her
navy, the fleet being stationed at home
for the most part, the cruises of vessels
beng chiefly for practice and IN waters
with which 1t is desired to acquire great
familiarity.
Russian battleships. those Of Japan are
of later construction, and are much more
heavily battered. A comparison of the
weight Of projectiles to be thrown by the
great superiority in the fleet Of Japan.
AS to the outcome of a naval conflict
between Russia and Japan naval Of1cerS
hesitate to predict. Russia has had no
recent naval experience worth mention
ing. Japan's war with China proved her
to be infinitely superior to China, but
only conflict with Russia would prove
anything of the relative ability of the
two nations. While Japan's prestige is
great and would nerve the navy to des-
perate conflict with Russia. naval ofi-
GERS say that Japan can not always ex-
pect to win, and that Judgment must be
deferred until 1t is seen how she fights
after she has been subjected to a few
drubbings.
