Washington. April S.--After a con-
suitation with the president, Secretary

views Of the administration on some
recommendations as II Philippine az

today that General Macarthur had
made no communication relative to
Aguinaido today, and that the attitude
OF this government toward the insur-

held as a prisoner. and while he will
be treated with kindness, there is no
dispositioW 10 allow him liberty unless
1t IS demonstrated that he intends to
comply fully with the amnesty terms
and his oath OF allegiance.
Aguinaldo is more than an ordinary
prisoner, and IL has not vet been de-
termined whether or not he is resDon-
sibie for the violations of the law of
war. His capture was made with a
view Of securing results. and while
General McArthuT's dispatches indi-
cate that these results will be very sat

The cable message sent to Manila was
OF considerable length and was quite
specific a. to the policy of the govern

would Ike certain assurances or prom

General Macarthur just what the gov

While 1t is believed that the insur-

the assistance of AguinaldO. the gov

ing the Manchurian Treaty.
London. April DIR Morrison, wiz.
ing to the Times from PeI0in, describes
an interview with Ii Hung Chang, in
which the latter admitted that his pol
icy was based upon conviction that
Russia was the only power which China
need fear.
He acknowledged the existence Of
various secret RussO-C Chinese agree
ments," says DR.. Morrison. and de-
clared himself convinced that China
must and would ultimately sign the
ManchUrian convention. He asserted
that China was willing to disclose the
terms of all her agreements with Rus
STA but that the latter insisted upon
keeping them secret.
He admitted that he had no hope
that the present Manchurian agreement
would satisfy Russia. but ne said he
thought it would give China respite OF
ten or twenty years, while Russia was
gorging her prey, during which the Chi
nese' might strengthen themselves for
Che future.
I am satisfied that Ii Hung Chang
is so fully committed to the policy of
buying off Russia. at any price that he
is almost inclined TO resent the pOssi-
biIity Of Intervention by other powers.
THE ministers of all the great pow
erS except Russia have been instructed
to present forthwith to the Chinese
Observation-Disclosures the punishment list
which was agreed upon before HiEssia
seeded on this point The list is so
moderate that there is little doubt the

There seems no doubt, however, that his
majesty told the delegations of the Prus-

recent audiences regarding the Selt-seek-

Washington, April 3.-The st. Peters
burg special to the Associated Press
has aroused interest in official circles
here. For the same reason that pre-
vented the correspondent from quoting
any authority in the Russian govern
ment as a source of the suggestion con-
tanned in his dispatch il is not possible
to cite official authority for the COM
ment that has been passed here upon
the suggested Russian plea. This in
brief. is that the action OF the powers
in opposing the Manchurian agree
ment will make it impossible for Rus
STA to leave ManchuTia at all
The comment upon this suggested
plea is that Russia deliberately pro-
poses to commit a greater offenSe in
the permanent seizure of Manchuria
if the powers will not connive at a
secret and private agreement with
China.
This plea it is said, would be
laughed out of any court of interna-
tional law, so disingenious is It. Russia
is tiispleased because the powers dis
couraged China from signing the agree
ment, yet Russia herself Joined with
other powers in undertaking to avoid
any such private arrangements mvolV
ing the acquisition of Chinese territory.
Even if she persists. even if she
forces China 10 sign the Manchurian
agreement. there is no obligation upon
the powers. and certainly not upon the
United States. to whom this Russian
pledge was given, to look upon it as
binding at any point. BY the same rea-
sOning should Russia, failing TO secure
an agreement, continue in Manchuria.
beyond a reasonable time. there is no
obligation upon any power TO respect
her title. and it may be predicted that
this subject will lead to controversy of
the sTavest character
