The Capture OF Aguinaldo.


If it had taken place year or a year
and a half ago the capture of Aguin-
aldo would have brought more momen-
tous consequences than it can occasion
now, but the exploit, nevertheless, re-
fleets credit upon General Funston and
the men concerned in it. Had Aguin-
aldo been taken at any time in 1899, in
the year in which he began his re-
bellion, the lives of hundreds of Ameri-
cans would have been saved, and the
dollars would have been averted. For
the past three or four months there
has virtually been no rebellion in the
Philippines.
The capture of Aguinaldo even Mt the
present time, however, is of much i'm
portance. 1t will strike terror to the
few remaining insurgents, and show
them the hopelessness of keeping up
their pretense of conflict against
American authority. Many of their
chieftains who are still at large will
be constrained to surrender to the
Americans so as to avoid the fate
which has befallen their leader. Great
numbers OF the insurgents, military
and civil, have been coming into Gen
eral MacArthur's lines ever since the
beginning of the year and submitting
to American authority. The move
ment in the same direction will be in
creased as n result of the Funston
achievement.
Probably Aguinaldo did little in the
way of directing the movements of
the insurgents in the past half year,
for there We're no movements on their
part in that time which showed any
vigor, intelligence or hope. The small
fraction of vitality which was left in
the rebellion will be apt to vanish with
the loss of the man who has been the
titular head and front of the hostility
to American authority. A week
or two ago the report came that the
pacification which had been then eff
fected in the Philippines would induce
the President to stop short of the max
imum mark in the way of enlstments
for the new army. The latest news
from Manila shows that the President
was safe in reaching that conclusion.
With Aguinaldo in American hands all
the heart which was left in the resist
ance of the Filipinos to United States
sovereignty viii disappear The sol
diers in the Philippines may soon pass

Chaffee. The text is withheld, but it
is stated they are drawn upon the
lines of the instructions sent to Mr..
Conger at the time he accepted the
Joint agreement under which the nego-
tiations of the ministers at Pekin We're
to be conducted. 1t so happened that
the reservations which Mr.. Conger
was to make in that case were pre-
cisely the subjects which are now be-
fore the military commanders at Pc
kin, namely, the destruction of the
Chinese fortifications, and the provi-
sion for armed posts along the route
from Pekin to the sea. General Chat
fee favors the disarmament of the
forts instead of their destruction, but
cannot participate in the establishment
of armed posts. He will, however, re-
main in the conference, exerting his
best efforts to ameliorate the confer
ence along the lines indicated.
Meanwhile, the War Department is
pushing its preparations for the COM
plete evacuation of China by Amer
lean forces, save only the legation
guard, and it is now stated that every
thing will be in readiness to embark
General Chaffees army at Taku for
Manila, May 30th.
Berlin, April 5.-The Pekin CORE
spondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung
wires that the German minister to
China says:
Great difficulty is caused by this
question of Furnishing the guilty. Rus
sia will not abandon Prince Tuan, be-
cause she owes Manchuria to him. 1t
is impossible to designate Prince Tuan
as rebel, inasmuch as the Empress
Dowager is still too powerful. She
will continue to direct with Prince
Tuan China's future fate.
1.-The developments regarding Prince
Tuans negotiations with Russia fully
explain the impossibility for Russia to
abandon him."

TABOR CREDITORS
TAKE MATCHLESS MINE

Leadville, Colo, April 5.-tDenver
News Special.)-Mrs. ii. A. w. Tabor
has failed to redeem the Matchless
mine and on the period of redemption
expiring to-day the famous property
passes into the hands of the Judgment
creditors. The new owners are James
w. Newell and Warren +. Page, who
are well-known mining men of this
city. Mrs. Tabor has made great eff
forts to interest some mining men in
the property and several experts We're
sent up here to examine 1t. She always
claimed that 1t was very rich prop
erty, but unfortunately the expert ex-
aminations never revealed any large
amount of mineral. 1t is possible that
If shaft We're sunk the sulphide ore
zone might be reached, but this would
involve an expenditure of $4,000 to
$4,000.
A telegram received here today
from Denver announces that Mrs. Ia
Dor had paid herself the funeral bill
of the late III. A. w. Tabor, having de-
clined the money which was raised by
Leadville paper to pay those eN-
penses. This money, amounting 10
over 5000, was turned over to Il local

and one-half per cent. were native
born. OF the eleven anG one-half per
cent. of foreign birth all were citizens
or had declared their intention of be-
coming citizens
The "anti-imperialist criticisms OF
the conduct of the United States in the
Fhllippines are like Mark Twain's
sneers at recruiting for the army.
There is less than five per cent of
truth In them. They take occasional
errors of judgment or the isolated of
lenses of individuals, and out of these
concoct slanderous Indictment of
their government and their fellow citi-
zens as a whole. Their course was
fifty characterized by Edmund Burke
more than 100 years ago, when he de-
scribed the policy of the British min
istry toward the American colonists as
IA foolish and scandalous attempt to
indict a whole people"
Meanwhile, it might be suggested to
Mark Twain that before he engages in
any further efforts to slander his fel-
low citizens he justify his re-
cent defamation of the Rev.
Dr. Ament and other Ameri-
can missionaries in China DR.. Ament
is now on his way home to bring a
libel suit and Mark Twain is likely to
find that sneers and falsehood are not
good arguments before n jury even
when made by professional huInorist.
AS for the ''anti-imperialists,' the
five per cent. of truth in their criti-
cisms cannot blind the public to the
ninety-five per cent. of falsehood.
These five per cent. critics, these libel
ers of their co1ntry and their country
men, are already condemned by the
jury of public opinion. SO far as any
influence upon public policy goes they
are dead, buried beneath the contempt
of the American people.-St. Louis

LAKE COUNTY BONDS
ARE DECLARED VALID

Leadville, Colo, April 4.-(Denver
Republican Special.)-Informat re-
ceived here regarding the recent de
cision of the United States Court of
Appeals at st. Louis of suit involv-
ing Lake county bonds is that the suit
was brought by the Keene Five Cent
Savings Bank against the county to
collect coupons due on bonds.
The case was decided against the
county in the United States Court nj
Salt Lake and the county took an ap-
peal, the decision of the lower court
being affirmed
This is understood to be in the ma
ture of n test case, rs the coupons
were clipped from funding bonds, the
whole issue of which amounts to
S495, 200. These bonds We're issued
by the county in 1852 and drew eight
per cent. interest. The interest COM
puted to December /, 1900, amounted
to S1,O11 900, making the total of the
bonds and accrued interest more than
100000. A number of other suits
on this same character of bonds are
now pending in different courts.
1t cannot be stated at this time
whether or not the county will take an
appeal from the decision rendered in
st. Louis. The amount directly in
volved is only about $4,000, and if an
appeal is taken it will not be for the
purpose of resisting the payment of
this amount so much as to prevent the
entire bond issue being declared valid,
this being in the nature of test case
The whole issue of bonds will become
due and payable next January, and all
of the suits now pending are based on
coupons only.
The contention of the county in
these cases has been that the debt in
CURED through the issuing of the
bonds was in excess of the constitu-
tional limit and that it is therefore in
valid.

from Berlin:
Count Won Waldersee has sent an
urgent telegram to Emperor William
imploring him to endeavor to hasten
the negotiations for the withdrawal of
the allied troops, ON the ground that
it is impossible to prevent quarrels
between soldiers of the different ma
tionallties, which might at any time
lead to serious troubles"
London, April 5.-"The Italian min

MALLORY STEAMSHIP
DENVER LAUNCHED

Wilmington. Del, April 5.-The
New York x Texas Steamship Com
pany's steamship Denver was
launched yesterday from the Harlan
Il Hollingsworth Company's yard. An
innovation in christening was the sub
stitution of the imperial japanese Gus
tom of releasing white doves from a
box as the steamer started from the
ways, instead of breaking bottle of
wine over the bows.
The doves We're covered with pieces
of soft white paper, which fioated
through the air as they swiftly flew
from the box. The English method Of
snubbing by fixed chains, instead of
by cables running through winches,
was tried for the first time in this
country, and worked successfully.
Miss Mary =. Mallory, daughter Of
the president of the Mallory line, per-
formed the christening by releasing
the trap of the box in which the doves
We're confined.
The Denver will ply between New
York and Galveston.

terday dismissed in Justice Rice's
court. On n complaint filed by Cap
tain Armstrong. Cowan was arrested
before he left the court room for the
purpose of inquiring into his sanity.
Drs. Pershing and Eskridge were ap-

self on the stand, and although slow
in intellect he will not have much
trouble to prove that he is rational.
