THE PHILIPPINE WAR
The lnsurgent Governor Of Tarlac
Captured BY Americans.
The REPORTED DEATH OF ACUIyALDO
The Filipino Envoy at Chicago Does Not
Attach Any Importance to the State
ment and Believes the War Likely
to Continue Indefinitely.

Manila, Jan. 5.-Gens. Wheaton and
Bates report many small captures, the
destruction Of insurgent camps and
the seizure Of supplies, animals and
other necessities. Among the cap
lures in Smiths district was Col.
Techon, the insurgent governor OF
Tarlac.
Gen. Grant Is personally in COM
mand of a mounted expedition in the
mountains OF southern Pampangas,
which, he says, is the only locality
where the insurgents are in force in
his district.
insurgents entered Gapan and San
Isdro in Gen. Funston's district, dur
ing the night and burned score Of
houses.
Gen. Macarthur has committed sew
eral death sentences of military
courts to Imprisonment.
The enactment of the school bill
has been deferred on account Of the
desire of the Filipinos to be heard on
the bill as completed. 1t differs radi-
cally from the one prepared by SUI
perintendent Atkinson and Endorsed
by Gen. Macarthur. The latter ap-
propriated $l,650,0O0 outright to be
disbursed through Mr.. Atkinson UNI
der the supervision of Gen. Mac
Arthur. The completed bill directly
appropriates only $4,000 and reserves
to the commission authority over
plans for schoolhouses and also re-
quires Mr.. Atkinson to report to both
Gen. Macarthur and the commission.
Many inquiries have been received
here from the provinces concerning
the federal party. The organizers
are establishing II daily newspaper
and three weeklies to be published in
Spanish and Tagalog in the province
Of Pampangas.
The Death Of AgulnaldO.
Chicago, Jan. 5.--"This is about the
fortieth time Aguinaldo has been
killed." laughed Senior Sixto Lopez,
the Filipino envoy, when he was
shown the report yesterday that the
insurgent leader was dead, which had
come through President Wheeler, of
the University Of California. and was
based upon the statements of Filipino
students in his charge. "[ think it
would be very foolish to attach any
Importance to the prattle of these
students" continued Mr.. Lopez. II
know the Buencamino family in Ma
Mia, and am certain they are not in
n position to be intrustcd with great
secrets by the Filipinos. But the
death OF Aguinaldo would really not
make soyery much difference in carry
ing on the campaign. There are other
generals in the field who are just as
capable as Agulnaldo and If he were
killed the war would 60 right on just
the same"
Mr. Lopez thought the war likely
to continue indefinitely unless some
terms OF settlement could be agreed
upon. He described the organization
of the Filipinos as very strong and
their determination to win independ-
ence as Interchangeable.
