Manila, March 2s.-Aguinaldo is a
prisoner. He was brought to Manila
to-day by Gen. Funston, by whom he
was captured in Isabella province,
about six days march inland from the
east coast of Luzon north of Baler.
Aguinaldo was captured on March 80,
IN the country near Casiguran, nine
miles from the town of Baler. His
entire staff YVES taken prisoners at the
same time and were brought with him
to Manila on the gunboat Vicksburg,
arriving this, morning.
The rebel chieftain's hiding place
was revealed by Filipino officer, who
turned over to Gov. Gen. Macarthur
letter from Aguinaldo. The letter
ordered the Filipino officer and other
leaders of the insurgent forces in
southern Luzon to meet him at des-
1gnated rendezvous in Isabella PROV
ince.

ministered to the arch head of an in
surrection. Particularly in the war
department did the capture of Agui-
naldo cause discussion among the Off
Gals. AS to the disposition to be made
of the famous prisoner some of the
army officers expressed the opinion
that it would prove troublesome. Sec
rotary Root said he remembered the
capture of Jefferson Davis, also the
arrest of William NJ. Tweed, both of
which embarrassed the authorities.
A study of the latest atlas of the
Philippine archipelago shows that the
province of Isabella is in the extreme
northern portion of the island of Luz
zon. Palanan is a town on the east
ern coast of Isabella province, stu
ated on river somewhat inland
which flows into the gulf of Palanan.
Between the coast and the Rio Grande
which flows northward through north
ern Luzon is the Sierra Madras noun
tains, a coast range which is almost
impossible. The Palanan and the
coast towns where Aguinaldo has been
hiding could only be reached by the
sea.

yesterday by the representative of
the Associated press, made the fol-
lowing statement concerning the cap
ture of the Filipino leader:
The confidential agent OF Aguinaldo ar
rived February 2S at Pantabangan, in the
province of Nueva Ecija, northern Luzon,
with letters dated January IL, II and IA.
These letters were from Emilio Aguinaldo
and directed Baldermero Aguinaldo to
take command of the province of central
Luzon, supplanting Gen. Alejandrino.
Emilio Aguinaldo also ordered that 400
men be sent him as soon as possible, say
ing that the bearer of the letters would
guide these men to where Aguinaldo was.
Gen. Funston secured the correspond
ence of Aguinaldo'S agent and laid his
plans accordingly. Some months previ-
ously he had captured the camp of the
insurgent general Lacuna, incidentally
obtaining Lacuna's SEAL official papers
and a quantity of signed correspondence.
From this material two letters were con-
structed, ostenSibly from Lacuna to Agui-
naldo. One of these contained fnforma-
ton as to the progress of the war. The
other asserted that, pursuant to orders
cuna was sending his best company to
Presdente Emilio Aguinaldo.
His plans completed and approved Gen.
Funston came to Manila and organized his
expedition, selecting IS Macabebes, all of
whom spoke Tagalog nuently. Twenty
wore insurgent uniforms and the others
the dress of Filipino laborerS. This Maca-
bebe company, armed with so Mausers,
eight Remingtons and ten Krag-Jorgen-
sens, was commanded by Capt Russell
T. Hazard. of the Eleventh United
States volunteer cavalry. With him was
his brother, Lieut.. Oliver P. II. Hazard,
of the same regiment. Capt. Harry w.
Newton, Thirty-fourth infantry, was
taken because of his familiarity with
Casigunan bay. and Lieut.. Burton J.
Mitchell, Fortieth infantry, went as Gen.
Funstons aide. These were the only
Americans accompanying the leader of
the expedition. With the Macabebes were
four cx-insurgent officers, one being a
Spaniard and the other three Tagalos,
whom Gen. Funston trusted implicitly.
On the night of March the party en-
parked the United States gunboat
Vicksburg. 1t was originally intended to
take cascoes from the island of Polillo
and to drift to the mainland, but a
storm arose and three of the cascoes
were lost. This plan was abandoned.
At two am, March Il. the Vicksburg
put her lights out and ran in-shore %
miles south of Casiguran, province of
Principe. The party landed and marched
- Casiguran. The Americans had never
.arrisoned this place, and the inhabit-
ants are strong insurgent sympathizers.
Having arrived there, the ex-insurgent
officers, ostensibly commanding the party,
ANNOUNCED that they were on the way

is practically invalid since the decision Of
the supreme court IN the ca Sc Of the state
against Patrick Purtell. The governor
asked that a bill be passed which would
put an end to the fights.

Senator Carpenter which provided that a

LAWRENCE ISN'T SATISFIED
Has Resolution Passed to Increase
Paw of Legislators.

The fouse started oct to secure better
pay for members of tho state legislature
by adopting q resolution proposing a
constitutional amendment for that pur-
pose introduced by James Lawrence, of
Sumner. As passed ny the house the
prOpcS tiOn is tn2t every member shall
receive $500 pay for a session and three
cents a mile for mileage Travelled; also
So a day for special sessions. which
must be limited to so days The measure
almost failed Of reaching tue two-thirds
vote necessary. because u thirty-day
limit was not specified on special ses-
sions and mileage was placed at Is
cents rer mile These points were cor
rected by amendment. and readily
passed by vote Of SO to 10.
The fight on the mileage allowance
brings UP the reminiscence that when
the present pay and perQuisites of leg
islators was fixed a great deal of trav-
cling was done in stages. and what
railroads were il operation then received
seven cents a mile for fare. Railroad
rates have dropped to three cents by
statute and actually, besides there is the
little pass that makes mileage, cut
down I'VE times. all silk anyway.
Then. too. the limit on regular ses-
sions is removed Instead of so days.
at So a day, sessions could be continued

divine power. He described how. by the
proper use of music, the soul was at

U. 8 Attorney Lightning
Among the different political prognos-
tications made recently is that Senator
Carpenter, of Neosho county, is a can
didate for the place of United States
attorney for the district OF Kansas. 1t
has been a current rumor in the legis-
lature for several days, but Senator
Carpenter seems to be the only man
who knows nothing of it. Senator Car
penter said this morning in answer to
the question: Are you a candidate for
Lambert's placer"
We'll, 1 had never heard IF it until a
few days ago, but a numbe- of senators
have asked me about the matter and /
have replied that I had not heard of it

the senate who did and on that account
it seems to be the impression that I
should have something. have not
thought of Mr.. Lambert's place and
every one seems to know more of it
than do
Senator Carpenter has beel one of the
staunchest supporters of Burton and it
is natural that he should be selected
by the prognosticators for a good job,
not only because he was a Burton man
when he was lonesome, but because he
is an able attorney and has been a
leader in the senate.
