Serious Aspect and 1t Is Thought
Present Outbreak Will Only BE
Quelled After Great Loss of Life.
NEW YORK. March 28.-The World
today published the following dispatch
from st. Petersburg, dated March %,
and mailed to Berlin in order to escape
the censor:
The distinguishing aud gravest fea-
ture of the present disturbances in Rus
sia is the evidence of an organized COM
bination for the first time between the
students and the workingmen of an OBJ
stinately revolutionary character.
The government has driven the stu
dents into the arms of the labor party.
Bogolopoff, the minister of public in
struction, who was assasSinated, was the
worst type of a Russian bureauCrat.
His administration was marked by CEN
tinual petty persecution of the students.
The petition prepared by eminent pro-
fessOrs and certain senators invoking
the personal intervention of the czar
was another proof of the panic prevail
ing in official circles, but the presenta-
ton of this netirion was prevented by
higher officials.
Another striking feature of this out
break is the refusal of large numbers of
the Dvorniks, or Yardmen, who act as
species of police reserve, to assist the
regular police in repressing the disor-
ders, TINS manifesting sympathy with
the people.
No aOuDt is entertained here that the
outbreak will be queIled eventually; but
it will only be done at an incalculable
cost of life and suffering.

Secretary Long Gratitied.

In cabinet circles General Funston's
exploit was referred to in laudatory
terms and the probable effect it will
have on the termination of hostilities in
the Philippines is being generally dis
cussed. Secretary Long expressed the
prevailing sentiment. He naturally
was much gratified at the official confir-
nation of Aguinaldo's capture and of
the assistance that the navy had been
able to render General Funston in facil-
itating his exploits.
The capture itself was of much i'm.
portance, he said, but he suggested that
the moral effect probably would count
as much as the brilllancy of the exploit.
He considered it one of the most signifi-
can't features of the affair that the ma
tives themselves had been instrumental
in bringing about the capture. They
had made up a considerable part of
Funston's force and their willingness to
go into the heart of Aguinaldo's strong
hold indicated that in their own minds
they felt that there was no longer any
real danger to be apprehended from
Aguinaldo's strength. That such
sentiment had obtained hold among the
Filipinos was, in the Judgment of Sec
retary Long, Significant evidence that
the insurrectlon had 1oss its vitality
among the people themselves. 70 this
sentiment was now added the loss of
the ostensible head of the insUTreCti0n-
Ary movement, which would doubtless
exert far-reaching influence upon the
native mind. The secretary said he
presumed that Aguinaldo would be held
as prisoner of war.
"What will be done todrfng' Afr.
Long was asked.
1T is q little early to say" responded
the SECRETARY and then after d pause he
added, smilingly: II Should say that
he should be spanked with shing GLE"
1t was suggested to the secretary that,
as a prisoner of war who has rebelled
against the authority of the United
States it might be incumbent under
military procedure to deal with Agui-
naldo by those rigorous steps usual to
warfare. But Mr. Long shook his head
and remarked that that was hardly the
way we were In the habit of doing
things. He was more inclined to his
first view that the noted prisoner should
be ''well spanked
This idea as TO the treatment to be ac-
| corded Aguinaldo seems to be the one
most generally accepted among officials.

used in figurative sense there is no
suggestion in any quarter that he Will

WASHINGTON, March 28.-The news
of General Aguinaldo's capture by Gen.
eral Funston was received everywhere
in official circles with intense gratifica-
ton, but perhaps nowhere did it create
more satisfaction than in the White
House. The first official news that
reached the executive mansion was Gen
eral Mac Arthur's dispatch announcing
the capture which 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
gratified that the chief mover in the in.
surrectiOn has at last been taken. 1t
has been 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 to compass his cap.
ture. 1t is rather a remarkable tribute
to the daring and resOurcefulness of
General Funston that long before he
made the capture he was selected as the
officer who might accept it. It was the
intention of General Funston some time
ago to return to the United States, but
by direction of the war department he
was detained in the Philippines i'll the
hope that just such a contingency as
did arise should give him the oppor-
tunity to test his prowess. Both the
president and war department were
fully informed OF the trap laid to cap
ture the insurgent chief and the result
of the expedition has been anxiously
awaited for several days.
Several interesting and indeed vital
questions are raised by Aguinaldo's s
capture. If the Insurrection now col
lapses, as it is hoped it will, = may not
be necessary to enlist the fun strength
of the army provided for in the army
re- organization bill. There also is the
question of the disposition to be made
of the insurgent chief. But it is too
early yet for the authorities to decide
these questions. There is also much
speculation as to the reward which
General Funston may receive for his
work. 1t is considered not improbable
that his reward will be commission in
the regular establishment.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
themin the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipatio per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
