Then, General Young Says, a Small
Force Will Do in the Philippines.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-Major
General s. B. M. Young, who arrived
from Manila today on the transport
Logan, said:
General Funston's exploit was one
of remarkable bravery, and he Is de-
serving of the highest recognition at
the hands of our government. This
talk about West Point influence is
all bosh. If any such statements
have been made that graduates OF
West Point or men who have riser,
from the ranks will oppose Funston's
advancement, it has come from the
lips of disappointed officers. No good
officer or gentleman would belittle
such brave achievement"
General Young, In speaking of the
effect of the capture of Aguinaldo on
the situation in the islands, said he
believed the troops would have to be
kept there but six months longer. He
did not think it would De wise to bring
them all away, however, for there was
a large number of marauding bands
throughout the islands who would have
to be kept under subsection.
1T will take at least two genera
tions," said the general, ito get the
Filipinos to understand the meaning
of self-government as we understand
it. The Filipino idea is to have the
country parceled out among the lead
ers, and they will rule the people and
get all they can out of them. We
shall have to look to the children of
the babies over there now to get the
matter on a correct basis"

CRIME TO WITHDRAW.
Reign Of Terror Will Follow Our Evae

Reign Of Terror Will Follow Our Evae
uation Of Cuba.
NEW YORK, March 29.-Represent
ative Vespasian Warner, of Illinois,
who has just returned from an ex-
tended tour through Cuba, believes
that the constitutional convention will
accept the Platt amendment, says a
Washington special to the World.
Continuing, Mr.. Warner said:
I'VE must, of course, turn the is
land over to the Cubans, but it IS a
crime against humanity to withdraw
at this time. When our troops leave
the island you will witness a reign
of lawlessness that will startle the
world and compel us, in the name of
hands. The Cubans will sign any
thing or do anything to get us away
from their property, and when they
have the reins in their own hands,
you can expect the worst.
From what / can learn, they will
assess everybody with any money and
have a division of the spOils. They
will drive all Spaniards and American
sympathizers from the island, and for
brief period will revel in loot. Law
and order will become mockery, and
q state of anarchy will reign.
''It is foolishness to talk of the Gu
bans governing themselves at this
time or for years to come. The island
must become ours eventually, and 1t
seems a shame to undo all the prog
ress made in two years. AS 1t will
be, we shall have to intervene within
30 days and set up protectorate again
to begin the work Of reconstruction
anew"

DISASTER ON SHIP.
Commander Roper, Of cunboat Petrol
Suffoeated.


WASHINGTON, April 2.-The navy
department early this morning 70.
ceived a cablegram from Admiral
Remey, commander-in-chief of the As
iatic station. giving a brief account of
fire in the sail room of the gunboat
Petrol, and of the death of the com.
handing officer, Lieutenant Command.
er Jesse M. Roper. as a result of q
heroic effort to rescue the men below.
The dispatch states that % other Of.
fcers and men were prostrated, but
all are recovering. Admiral Remey's
dispatch follows:
"Cavite, March 31.-Fire was dis
covered in the sail room of the Petrol
at o'clock this morning, Roper COM
manding. After going below once, he
went again against advice, and at.
tempted to recover the men below. He
was suffocated. and died at 7:45.
Twenty-Five other officers and men
were entirely Frustrated, but are re.
covering. The fire Is out; damage
immaterial. Will send Roper's re-
mains by Buffalo. REMEY."
The department at once sent a tel.
egram to H. F. Fay, brother-in-law of
Lieutenant Commander Roper, at
Longwood. Mass, asking that he in
from Mrs. Roper of the news. The
following expression of sympathy and
appreciation was also made: with
this sad news the department sends to
Mrs. Roper deep sympathy in the great
loss she has sustained. and the highest
appreciation of the gallantry and self
sacrifice with which Lieutenant Com
mander Roper gave his life for his
fellow men. 1t was a heroic deed"
Lieutenant Commander Roper was
born in Missouri, and entered the
naval service June 25, 1868. He was
commissioned to the rank held by him
at the time Of his death, March 81,
1899, and was ordered to the command
of the Petrol November Is, 1899. The
Petrol was one of the vessels under
Admiral Dewey at the battle of Ma
nila bay, when she was in charge of
Lieutenant Commander Wood. The
latter officer came home shortly after,
and Lieutenant Commander Roper sue
ceeded him. The Buffalo, on which the
remains will be sent home, is used for
the transportation of troops, and is
about to return to the United States
by way of the Mediterranean.

Where the Capture Was Made.

The province of Isabella, where the
capture of Aguinaldo occurred, is on
the island of Luzon, about 200 miles
northeast of Manila, and about IS
miles north of Baler, on the eastern
coast, which place was made memora-
BILE by the capture Of Lieutenant Gill
more and his party from the gunboat
Yorktown, in April, 1899. Isabella
province is wild and mountainous, es-
pecially along the coast, where the
high range known as Gran Cordillera
Oriental extends for 100 miles or more
from north to south, the highest points
of the range being but a few miles
from the shore. Rugged trails, in some
places being but foot or two in width,
lead across the mountains, frequently
crossed by rushing streams, and where
these overflow their banks, the trails
are waist deep in mud. 1t was to this
uninviting district that General Fun
stan and his small band went short
time ago. It was a part of the island
that had never before been visited by
American troops.

KORAN THE ONLY LAW.
Civil Government ls impossible IN
the Suiu lslands

JOLO, Island of Sulu. March 40
Inc commission was heartily received
at the headquarters of the sultan
Inc residences of many of the peopIe
were decorated with flags, the stars
and stripes floating through the
town, while thousands of firecrackore
were exploded in all directions.
1t was a beautiful summer morn.
Ing, and when the sultan had not
put in an appearance upon the ar.
rival OF the last launch. a cutter was
sent with the secretary of the com.
mission to invite the sultan to visit
the snip. They brought back his
majesty, clothed in gold and purple,
and decorated with jewels. He pre-
sented a comic opera aspect as he
came on board, followed by his min
listers and a score of relatives in mot.
ley court array. They were greeted
with salute of IL guns. Commits
sioner Taft explained to his majesty
that there was no disposition on the
part OF the members of the commits
sion to Interfere with the administra-
tlon OF the sultan's affairs or the
habits, customs and religion of the
people. He said that the only mo-
tive governing the commission was
the prospective prosperity and hap
pinoss of the people of the Sulu Isl
ands, and that the people of the
United States expected the treaty to
be strictly observed.
The sultan then thanked Commits.
sioner Taft and spoke proudly of the
cable and other improvements intro
duced by the Americans, adding that
his best friends were the military Of
ficials, and that he expected to abide
by the decision of the commission
ers and to follow their advice. His
majesty then inspected the ship.
That afternoon the sultan was re-
ceived at the American military
headquarters and inspected the
troops. Native sports followed
which were witnessed by the commits.
siOners and others.
The Philippine commission sailed
this morning for Isabel, Island of
Basilan. Before leaving the commits
sion had long consultation with Ma
jor Sweet, the American commander
at Cato, and Dhul Karnein, the
strongest chief of the Sulus, who
usually opposes the sultan.
Any measure of civil government
In Sulu appears impossible at pres.
ent. The customs of vassalage, ser.
vitude and polygamy prevail. There
is no law except the Koran, and that
is not always followed. The Moro.
and Chinese desire a cessation OF
military rule in Jolo, but the con
glomerate1 4. character of the popula
tion and the uncertainty as to those
without the walls render this inadvi
sable. Military officers consider the
treaty unnecessary and an impedi
ment to progress.

$1,000, 900 HOTEL FIRE.
The Jefferson, at Richmond, Va,
Burned, But No Lives Lost.

The jefferson, at Richmond, Va,
Burned, But No Lives Lost.
RICHMOND, Va, April 1.-The JEFF
ferson hotel, this city, which was
erected and furnished by the late Louis
Ginter at cost of 100000, was de-
stroyed by fire. The magnificent
structure covered half block in the
part of the city, and
was built of buff brick on a granite
foundation.
The flames were discovered In the
upper part of the Main-street side
shortly before midnight, and in a short
time that part of the building was
roaring furnace. The guests who were
first driven out of the Main-street
portion of the hotel took refuge in the
lobby on the Franklin-street side.
There was much excitement, espe-
cially among the women, many OF
whom had retired for the night.
Many persons lost all their effects.
No one perished in the flames. The
fire started in the linen room from a
defective flue. The insurance Is
about $65O,00O. All the surrounding
houses are filed with property taken
from the hotel. There has been some
looting, and several arrests have been
made. There were in the hotel many
works of art, including Valentines
marble statue of Jefferson, which
stood in the Franklin-street court.
This statue was broken.
Immediately upon the discovery OF
the fire, which was eating into the
ceiling of the linen room, the hotel
fire apparatus was brought into play,
but the hose burst. Attendants then
dashed through the building awaken
ing the guests, many of whom were
sleeping and had to be dragged out
of bed. Most of the guests on the
Franklin-street end of the hotel saved
their baggage, and finally the Jefferson
statue was gotten out, with the head
broken off, The guests in the part
where the fire started lost their bag
gage, and many of them lost all their
clothes. Owing to the height of the
building, the fire department was at
great disadvantage. The fire made
an immense blaze, and practically
awakened the entire city. There were
nc thrilling escapes, the halls and
staircases being numerous and wide.

Successful Conclusion Of the Kansa General
Expedition Into Isabella Province
Is No; In . Manila Jail.

MANILA, March 29.-General Fred.
erick Funstan's daring project for the
capture of Aguinaldo in his hiding
place in the province of Isabella, island
of Luzon, has proved completely sue
cessful. Aguinaldo was captured there
on March %.
The United States gunboat Vicks-
burg, Commander E. B. Barry, with
General Funston and Aguinaldo on
board, arrived here this morning.
Aguinaldo was brought ashore at
3:10 P. M. today and taken before
General Macarthur at the Malacanang
palace. He talked freely, but seemed
ignorant concerning recent events. He
appeared to be in good health and was
even cheerful. He lunched with the
