GENERAL MACARTHUR MAKES A REPORT


WASHINGTON. April IAN i'm
portant dispatch received at the war
department today from General Mac
Arthur, In the opinion of the officials,
went far to support the prediction
made by General Macarthur yester-
day that the end of the rebellion Is
near at hand. This dispatch chron-
icles the surrender of a considerable
additional number of rebels and mil
itary arms. and the important feature
Of 1t Is that the surrender marks the
complete stamping out of the insur.
rection in the island of Mindanao,
which Is, next to Luzon, the largest
island in the group. The dispatch Is
as follows:
Manila, March 29.-Brigadier Gen.
eral William Cobb reports the sur
render at Sumulao. Mindanao. Of 3
officers, 160 men. 1877 rifles and 80
shotguns, Capistranos command. This
ends the trouble in Mindanao as far
as the Filipinos are concerned. Brig
adler General Robert p. Hughes re-
ports Alikpali and Ruiz, "a guns, sur
rendered to Captain David Shanks,
Eighteenth infantry. at Mamburao:
206 guns, Fulton's command. surren-
dered to Lieutenant Colonel William
s. Scott, Forty-fourth infantry"
The following cablegram was re-
ceived at the navy department from
Admiral Remey:
"Cavite, March 29.-Bureau of Nav.
igation, Washington: Macarthur tel
egraphs: Thanks to splendid coop
Grafton of Vicksburg, have Aguin-
aldo securely in my possession at
Malacanan. General Funston loud In
praise of everything navy did. Entire
army joins in thanks to yourself. of.
ficers and men, REMEY."
Secretary Long replied to the ad-
miral as follows:
"'Remey, Manila: Inform MacAr.
thur highly appreciate his and Funs-
tons generous praise navy. and con-
gratulate them heartily. LONG"
Senator Burton and Representatives
Long and Curtis. of Kansas. saw the
president after o'clock, when the
rush of work had ceased. The presi.
dent listened attentively to what the
delegation had to say, and said he
had under consideration the matter of
rewarding General Funston for his
services in capturing the Filipino
chief The delegation regard their in
terview as encouraging and hope to
see the Kansan made brigadier gen.
eral in the regular establishment. but
its members were careful to say that
the president gave them no promise
nor any indication as to his inten.
tions in this regard. They would not
be surprised, however, II considerable
opposition to giving Funston a briga-
der generalship should develop at the
war department. There is no dfsposi-
tion in the regular establishment to be.
little General Funston's exploit, es-
pecially since the receipt of General
MacArthur's dispatch giving full credit
to Funston, but there would natu.
rally be opposition to jumping vol.
unteer officer 35 years of age into the
grade of brigadier general, and the
Kansas delegation recognizes this
fact.

FRENCH INFLUENCE GROWING
Activity in Southern Provinces Of
China.

HONG KONG, March 30.-It is re-
ported from Canton that the activity
of the French is greatly increasing in
the neighborhood of that city. Two
steamers ply between Hong Kong and
Canton, and gunboats are much in
evidence on the Chinese waterways.
It is also reported that two steamers
are being built in France to run be-
tween Hong Kong and Canton, and
that France intends to subsidize the
carrying of the mails. 1t is also ex-
pected that French postoffice will
open in Canton about April 1.
Objections have been lodged to the
plying of the steam launches under
the tricolor. Chinese captains now
fly the tricolor with an addition of
three small stars, which are invisi'
BILE a shore distance away, and as a
result, it is said, the Chinese people
imagine they are still under the tri-
color, and conclude that the French
influence is gaining. It is also re-
ported that a French hospital was
opened at Shameen some months
back for the purpose of receiving Chi
nese patients. All this aids French
influence and prestige.

lnsurgent Leaders on luzon Are Ex.
pected to Surrender.
MANILA, April 1.-Aguinaldo is
now detained in comfortable room
in a wing of the Malacanan palace.
He is in charge of Captain Benjamin
H. Randolph and Lieutenant Gilbert
A. Youngberg, of battery G, Third
artillery.
When Aguinaldo was captured he
wore a plain dark blue suit with the
coat closely buttoned up at the throat
and a wide white helmet with leather
band. He takes his capture philo-
sophically. He is generally cheerful,
but sometimes moody. His health
during the past year has been very
good. 1t is uncertain what attitude
he will now assume. Certain visitors
are permitted to see Aguinaldo, but
newspaper interviews with the pris-
oner are not allowed.
Since Aguinaldo has been domic:led
at the Malacanan palace, persons not
provided with special permits have
been denied admission to the grounds.
General Trias, the commander of the
insurgent forces in Southern Luzon,
who recently surrendered to the Amer
lean authorities, visited Aguinaldo,
and told the latter why he had sur
rendered. Trias said that a continu-
ance of armed opposition to the United
States was unjustifiable and ruinOus !;
that the independence of the Philip
pines was impossible, and that the Fill
ipinos had better accept liberty, pros
perity and progress under American
rule.
The capture of Aguinaldo, follow
ing the surrender of General Trias,
will probably occasion the surrender
of the insurgent leader Malavar in
Batangas province, Luzon; Bellarmino,
in Albay province, Luzon, and Luc-
ban, in the island of Samar within a
month. Many people visited the resi-
dence of General and Mrs. Funston on
the Gale Rell, in the suburb of Ermita.
The general modestly declined to talk.
Mrs. Funston was evidently the hap
piest woman in the Philippine islands.
General Funston has been recon-
mended for the highest practicable re-
ward. 1t is believed here that he will
receive an appointment of brigadier
general in the regular army.

The Panama Waterway.

Washington, April 1.-The conditions
under which the Colombian govern
ment will consent to the transfer of
the French concession for the con-
struction of the Panama canal to this
government, should the latter select
that route for an isthmian waterway,
are before the state department for
its consideration. Senior Silvela, the
minister from Colombia, called on
Secretary Hay today and left with him
a memorandum bearing on the subject.
This memorandum, being of conf
Dental nature, the minister refused
to discuss it's features while the matter
is under consideration by the state
department. The French concession
originally expired in 1904, but it has
been extended to 1910.

Pittsburg, Pa, April Mrs. Anna
Ward, aged go, is lying in a critical
condition from the effects Of brutal
treatment by three masked burglars
at her home this morning. Mrs. Ward
and her daughter were awakened by
the pre;Vnce of burglars at their bed

Ward undertook to resist, and while
the daughter was held in subsection BY
one of the men, another knocked the
elder woman into Inconsistencies,
literally crushing her skull. The hus-
band and SON of Mrs. Ward were
sleeping on the third floor, having In
their possession about $1,000. the
booty the burglars evidently were
after.

WASHINGTON, April IA petition
signed by all officers serving with the

Work Of a lunatic.

Akron, o., April 1.-The Diamond
pottery plant was totally destroyed by
fire last night. The fire originated
in waste soaked in oil placed in va
rious parts of the building. A we'll
dressed man was noticed lettering
about the place some time before the
fire started. Earlier in the evening
an attempt was made to dynamite
the pottery of the Robinson-Merrill
Company. The watchman discovered
sticks of dynamite placed in various
parts of the main building before the
fuses had been ignited. At other fac
tories oil-soaked waste was found in
various sections of the buildings.

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-It has
practically been determined that
Hermann will not remain commits
sioner of the general land office.
While the president speaks well of
Hermann, he cannot have him a sub
ordinate to Hitchcock. In view of the
friction that exists. Hermann has
been rendered a place on the civil
service commission, but as this Is
reduction both In salary and impor.
tance, he does not like to make the
change. The president does not want
to dump Hermann out in the cold.
and the civil service commissioner
ship was suggested to let him down
easy.
George d. Meiklejohn, ex-assistant
secretary of war, Is mentioned as
Hermann's successor. He lost his
former place In making fight for the
senate, but 1t Is understood he con-
tributed his full share in the choice
of two Republicans, and may be REQ
ognized for his party loyalty.
