MAY VISIT AMERICA.
Runner That Aguinaldo Will Sail
for United States April IS.
Chief Justice AreIIano Tells How the Fa-
nous Insurgent Was Led to Take the
Oath of Acknowledgement to
Holding Any once.

Manila, April 4.-Chief Justice Arch
iano,, who. administered to Emelio
Aguinaldo the oath of allegiance to
the United States government, de-
scribed yesterday to representative
of the Associated press the conditions
leading up to. and attending the cere-
mony, which was semi-private. Aguin-
aldo, still detained in an apartment
of the Malacanan palace and awaiting
orders from Washington, had ex-
pressed himself as anxious to learn
more regarding the American system
of government and had asked Chief
Justice Areliano to enlighten him.
The chief justice carefully explained
the various measures passed by the
Philippine commission, headed by
Judge Taft, and showed him. what
provisions were made for education
and progress and for municipal and
provincial self-government. <
Listening with deep interest, Aguin-
aldo finally exclaimed: 81 never be-
lieved the Americans would be so fair
and liberal Before the conversation
had ended he had agreed to take the
oath of allegiance and this was inn
lnediately administered.
Senior .Arellano says: 'Aguinaldo's
action will induce all the insurgents
to surrender, and 1 predict that the
islands will be completely pacified by
June. Aguinaldo is eager to visit the
United States, but when I questioned
him on the subject of holding office
he replied that he had no desires in
that direction and intended to retire
to private life after a trip to America.
1t is reported here that President Nc
Kinley has invited Aguinaldo to visit
the United States and that the former
insurgent leader may sail from Manila
April Is. Gen. Macarthur, when ques-
toned regarding the rumor, said he
had absolutely nothing to communi-
cate.'
Cabinet Considers Proposition.
Washington, April f. Proposals rel
ative to the surrender of all the in
surgents in the Philippines have been
made by Aguinaldo, through Gen.
| Macarthur, to the United States. The
proposals were brought before the
| cabinet meeting and at its conclusion
instructions in reply to them were
sent by Secretary Root. The presis
| dent will not bargain with Aguinaldo
but if the prisoner will use his infir-
ence, the United States will welcome
| his aid and viii consider his conduct
when determining his future.

result, Tuesday he subscribed and swore
to the declaration on page IL of my annual

nfze and accept the supreme authority of
the United States of America therein;
1 do solemnly swear that I will bear
thorough faith and allegiance to that gov
ernment; that will at all times conduct
myself as a faithful and law-abiding
citizen of the said islands, and will not,
either directly or indirectly, hold GORGE
spondence with or give intelligence to an
enemy of the United States, nor will
abet, harbor- or protect such enemy; that
I impose upon myself these voluntary
obligations without any mental reserva-
lions or purpose of evasion, so help me
God.

by the different assortments of deci-

law changing the beginning of county
superintendent terms from January
to May. 1. Litigation arose in
about 20 counties and all sorts of de-
cisions have been rendered. Some
Judges declared the new law unconsti-
tutional and held that the appoint
1nents made were valid; others held
the law valid but declared the old
superintendent should hold over. In
fact no two decisions are alike. In
order to- settle the matter a case has
been taken to the supreme court.

VICTIMS DARE NOT SQUEAL.
Postmasters Made the Victims of .
Swindle Similar to the screen
Goods" Dodge.

New York, Nov. 21.-According to
the Journal and advertiser the best
men in the United States secret serv
ice and the cleverest inspectors in the
post Office department are at present
at work on an attempt to discover
the details Of new green goods
scheme, which has been worked, un-
til week ago, from Manhattan, and
which is at present being operated
from Jersey City and from Chicago.
The victims are second, third and
fourth class postmasters who do not
dare complain to the authorities. 1t
is known that since the first of July
more than thousand postmasters
have been swindled out Of sums rang
ing from $3.50 to $1,000. The principle
OF the game is the same as that of
the old-fashioned green goods game.
But in this twentieth century bunko
game only postmasters are invited,
and they are urged to purchase, in.
stead of money, postage stamps from
"the undcstroyed plates of the gov
eminent" plates and stamps which,
Of course, are not in existence. The
postmasters Are lured to this city by
samples which are sent by mail. These
samples are genuine stamps. and not
counterfeit stamps. When their vic
tim reaches the city all of the old
fashioned games of substitution are
practiced
