insurgent 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
Fl. 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 tnroaI
and a wide white helmet with a iealner
band. He takes his capture pnllo
sophicalIy. He is generally cheerIui'
but sometimes moody. His health
during the past year has been very
good. It is uncertain what altltuue
| he will now assume. Certain VISITORS
are permitted to see Aguinaldo, out
newspaper interviews with the pris-
oner are not allowed.
| Since Aguinaldo has been domiciied
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 Agulnaiuo,
and told the latter why he had sur
rendered. Trias said that q continu-
ance of armed opposition to the United
States was uniustifable and rulnous; !;
that the independence of the Phllp-
J pines was impossible, and that the Eli
J 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

HERMANN is TO GO.
Retention Made Impossible by Fric.
ton With Hitchcock.

WASHINGTON, March S0.-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 place on the civil
service commission, but as this is a
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 commissioners
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 it is understood he con
tributed his full share in the choice
of two Republicans, and may be REG
ognized for his party loyalty.

that there was no disposition on tne

sion TO interfere with the administra-

! habits, customs and religion OF the

, the prospective prosperity and hap

: United States expected the treaty 10

NEW YORK, March 29.-Represent-
alive Vespasian Warner, of Illinois,
who has just returned from an ex-
tended tour through Cuba, believes
that the constitutional convention will
accent the Platt amendment, says q
Washington special to the World.
Continuing, Mr.. Warner said:
"We must, of course, turn the is
land over to the Cubans, but 1t is a
crime against humanity to withdraw
M this time. When our troops leave
the island you will witness q reign
of lawlessness that will startle the
world and compel us, In the name of
;ustice. to take matters into our own
hands. The Cubans will sign any
thing or do anything to get US away
from their property, and when they
have the re!ns In their own hands
YOU can expect the worst.
From what can learn, they viii
assess everybody with any money ant
have division of the spoils. The!
will drive all Spaniards and American
sympathizers from the island, and TO
a brief period will revel in loot. Law
: and order will become q mockery, ant
state of anarchy will reign.
ut is foolishness to talk OF the Gu
bans governing themselves at thi
time or for years to come. The islam
must become ours eventually, and
