eminent, Aguinaldo now occupies one Of
the incest apartments Of the Malacanang
palace. He il closely guarded and courie-
ously treated. Captain Francis J. hern~n
Of the second infantry, Captain William
L. Henley Of the First artihery, members
OF General 1aaeArthur's, stat, Captain Ben
iamin II. Randolph and Lieutenant Gil
bert A. Yeungberg Of the Third artillery,
with i've guards, are watching him.
Aguinaldo, nervously pacing the floor
and deeply thinking, thrusts his hands
through his hair. He .,smokes many 81
gaxs and cigarettes and he also his
hearty appetite. He speaks only few
words Of English. He is conscious OF hia
dignity, hut tries to talk pleasantly with
his g,iArds. He often praises the slkill ANA
audacity Of General funston in effecting
his capture. saying that only by strategy
could he have been captured It i said
that Aguinaldo il strongly adverse TO re-
treating from his former attitude, but that
he must regard the best interests OF the
Filipino people
The sisters Of DR.. Barcolana have called
on him, bringing supply Of linen. Agui-
naldo IL well supplies with money and ne
ordered supply Of new clothes He Il
careful Of his personal appearance. He
celebrated his 32d birthday before he was
captured. The birthday festivities were
prolonged and only terminated upon the
arrival Of General Funston. Aguinaldo
tries to read the American newsp pr
and 10 anxious to learn the state Of pub
lie opinion in the United States concern
ing Philippine affairs. He had a confer
ence with General Trias and the chief
justice, Arellano. but his future inten-
tions have not been announced.
He spends much time seated BY BARRED
window watching the boats passing up
and down the PAsig river.
This morning Aguinaldo was recognized
by a crowd Of natives going up the river
in lighter. The natives gaxed on him
awhile in silence and then began to jeer,
calling him Emilio and vile names in the
Tagaiog language. The guards quoted the
disturbance and Aguinaldo left the win
dow in disgust.
The natives in Manila are undemonstra-
tive concerning Aguinaldos capture and
4 Il i difficult to ascertain what the ma
jority Of them really think Of it. It is
certain that Aguinaldo's influence is less
strong than formerly, though it is st II
great.
The representative Of the Associated
Press has interviewed many Filipinos, in
Guiding both business and profes sional men
in Manila, as well as representatives Of the
lower classes and former insurgents, ON
the capture Of Aguinaldo. The majority
of the persons questioned were unfeignedly
glad that Aguinaldo had been captured
and said they considered that the worst
obstacle to the speedy pacihcation Of the
islands had been rymoved. Some m dis.
trust Aglinaldo and advise his immedi IL
deportation. Others believe he can rem.
der vast assistance by urging his country.
men to acquiesce to American authority
All men agree that the outlook today il
much brighter.
The position Of the United States In
1 reference to the prisSner seems to have
been misunderstood in some quarters and
there was On impression that our officer
were ready to make terms with Aguinalde
in order to secure his services for thu
Pacifcation Of the islands. 1t 10 evident
that any overtures to bring about THU
result will have to come from Aguinaldo
No doubt he will be given an opp ,rtuniiy
to make a proposition Of that kind, but
