A~GUINALDO'S CAPTURE
British Press Comment on Manner of
Its Accomplishment and Results

London. March 29.-The Saturday
Review will say tomorrow:
The news of the capture of Aguinal-
do may be welcome as meaning the
end OF a war which is still wasting life
and running prosperity in the Philip
pines; but for Aguinaldo himself, whose
capture was effected by a gross act of
treachery. there must be general SYM
pathy.
He gave the Americans invaluable
assistance in the capture of Manila
and in the previous He
proved a faithful ally until, partly ow-
ing to a change of policy in Washing
ton and partly to a want of tact among
the American generals, war suddenly
broke out between the allies. DeWet
is probably the finer general, but Agui-
naldo is the finer character. Consider
ing his ~antecedents, A~guinaldo has
proven himself ~singularly humane. He
has displayed, moreover, a genius for
inspiring scattered tribes with his w
enthusiasm for the freedom which was
promised him."

dier. On August ii, 1900. at Pekin,
China. he was the first American to
scale the wall Of the Chinese city and
enter Pekin. On the following day,

SESSION OF THE CABINET
Disposition OF Aguinaldo and Reward
foP Funston Discussed

Washington. March 29.-The cabinet
meeting today was devoted almost en-
tirely to a discussion of the capture of
Aguinaldo. it's effect upon the military
situation in the Philippines. the dispo-
sition to be made of the insurgent chief
and the reward to be given to General
Funston. The subject was considered in
all its phases, but no definite onclu-
sions were reached either with regard
to General Funston's reward or to the
punishment Of Aguinaldo.
The president and all members of the
cabinet are in favor Of the most lib
eral and substantial recognition of the
service performed by General Funston.
Their was some discussion Of the ques-
ton of making him a brigadier general.
in the regular army, but it was thought
that fuu reports shoLd be awaited be-
fore action was aiken. The matter
probably will be allowed to rest where
1T is for the present. General Funston
is holding a volunteer commission as a
~brigadier general, which will not ex-
pire until June both of this wear, so that
so far as the honor n emoluments
are concerned his standing would not
be prejudiced by the delay.
The view of the majority of the cab
met was that the time is not yet ripe
to decide what course should be pur-
sued in the disposition Of Aguinaldo. 1t
is felt that some little time should
elapse to permit an opportunity to de-
hberate carefully gel what course
would prove the wisest. whether he can
be Of any service to the United States
government by remaining at Manila
and exerting his influence in the direc-
ton of peace; whether it would be dan
gerous to permit him to remain so close
to the field OF insurrectionary activity
or whether even it would be best to
send him among the other insurgent
prisoners on the island Of Guam. There
is no disposition TO deal otherwise than
aeniently with him. but there are va
rious questions that will have to be con-
sidered in the case: as. for instance,
whether he personally instigated sSaS-
sinations of Americans and similar Of
lenses, which some of the members of
the cabinet feel should call for some
penalty.
1t cannot be too emphatically stated
that h administration will avoid Civ
ing the captured leader any basis for
posing as a martyr. The trend of views
as expressed by the cabinet indicated
that ultimate transportation to some
place of confinement outside of the
Philippines was the course most likely
to be adopted.

MacARTHUR's THANKS TO THE

THE FILIPINos' VERSION
Aguinaldo ard Mabini Urged to Ask
to be Brought to America.

Boston. Mass. March 29.-Senor Lo.
PEE has sent the two following cable
grams to Aguinaldo and Mabini:
"Aguinaldo. Care General Macarthur,
Manila
Request American authorities 10
send you with Mabini to America.
"SIXTO LOPEZ"
"Mabini. Care Military Governor,
Guam.
"Aguinaldo captured. 1 have cabled
him to request American authorities TO
send you with him to America. / wish
TO apply to authorities in Guam.
"SIXTO LOPEZ"
In reference to the above Senior Lo-
pez has issued the following statement:
Il believe 1t is the wish Of the Ameri-
can people to know the truth about
many things connected with this war
as well as to OBTAIN an authoritative
statement of the attitude of the Fill
plnos toward American sovereignty. L
do no know of two men better fitted
to give such information than Aguinal-
do and Mabini.
Almost all the statements that have
hitherto been made are from American
sources. 1t would. therefore, only I've
fair that two representative Filipinos
should be allowed to give their opinions
about the Americans and to speak on
behalf of their fellow countrymen.
The bringing Of Aguinaldo and Mabi-
nj to America can do no injury to truth
n justice and 1 assume thai both de-
sire to know the truth and to do JUS
tice."
