NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that the

Philippines is Of the gravest nature. 80
serious has the outbreak on the island
of Samsr become that the entire avail

pelapo ia being concentrated there to
suppress the insurgents and GeD. Chat
fes, in a private letter written to g
friend In Montana, says civil govern
ment 10 those islands has proven an
inter failure and that ct least 3O,OOC
men will be required there for the next
twenty-five years. The general also
says:
"The educated Filipino Is more OF

China have given the problem OF the
government OF the Philippines careful
consideration. 1t seemed to me OF the

This will be disbesrtening to the

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

CONST1TU CON fENlleN.
AS stated In yesterdays Gazette the
convention OF that day adopted the bill
OF rights, including the free speech and
free press clause, decided on the vaca'
ton OF three weeks without pay aud
then took action in two other note
worthy matters that will greatly ex-
pedite the work when the convention
again assemblies. One was to adopt an
amendment to the rules, limiting
speeches in the committee OF the whole
to 20 minutes and forbidding any mem-
Der to speak more than once on the SUBJ
;ect, and another was the adoption OF
au amendment Of the rules providing
for keeping q quorum in the committee
of the whole during session. il has been
very hard to do this, because the roll
could not be called in the committee OF
the whole aud members would struggle
out conscious that their absence, II no.
ted, would not De published. The
! amendment in question provides for
calling the absentees 10 COMMITTEES OF
the whole In absence OF quorum and
1t is believed 1t will have the desired
effect.
There were sixty.ons members pres-
emit yesterday and the session lasted
only one hour and half. The remain.
ing sections OF the bill Of rights were
rapidly disposed OF.
A spirited colloquy took place over

The QUESTION may well be asked,
"Whst may the South expect OF the

THE TRANQUILITY which had exist
ed in the city for some time was broken
last night by an unfortunate occurrence
the result OF which is that well-known
Young man lies at the Infrmsry propa'
bly wounded unto death. The particu
lars are given In the local columns and
they will be read with regret by all per-
sonslly acquainted with the victim, hif
Young wife aud the families now
plunged into grief by the occurrence

Of tsrrying long with the wine until
reason is temporarily dethroned, and
the affair should be sad warning te
other young men who start out In lie

TO demons and angels at pleasure. Inc
young man who has thus suffered shir'
wreck was few years ago promising

Nsious movements among young people
In the city. But 80 time went on II
was apparent he was OF " genus VINO
play between two great extremes In
life and illustrated the proverb, TOO
much spirituality is akin to sensuality."
The flowing bowl seems 10 have bad
lie temptation, and he, like many others,
thought himself capable of spsrring
with it and nimble enough to dodge
its fangs. He had been bitten
several times of late. bat kept up the
unequal struggle against an enemy that
never was whipped. He 6ually grew
desperate, struck at random until last
night, when probably crszed by q
super-heatsd brain, he found himself
not only conquered but In fair way
of being numbered among the casual
ties OF the worm of the still. Like
many others. the young man started
right, but lost the strait and narrow
path. Ali his friends hope that the
worse may not be realized, and that the
young man will again be found 10 the
way OF life, and that his experience
will prove sufficient warning to others
who have strsyed into by-psths which
surely lead to pitfalls from which
many, alas! never emerge.

FUNSTON SUCCESSFUL.
Daring Plot Of the Kansas Gen.
eral Results in Victory and
Capture of Aguinaldo.

Manila, March 2S-General Frederick
Funston's daring project for the capture
of Aguinaldo in bis hiding place in the
province OF Isabella, island Of Luzon has
proved completely successful.
Aguinaldo was captured there on
March %.
The United States gunboat Vicksburg
with General Funston and Aguinaldo on
board, arrived here this morning.
Funston had marched into the noun
tain rscessss OF the Isabella province in
q dangerous attempt to capture Aguin-
aldo.
He had with him emily four officers,
nine scouts. and . company Of natives,
and was led by rebel traitor. His plan
was to have the scouts pretend they had
captured him and whom they broua ht
him before Aguinaldo he gave q signal
and the rebel chief was captured.
General Funston's plans, ~ outlined
in . dispatch to the Associated Press .
few days ago, wsre to make tho trip over
the mountains to Aguinaldo's hiding
place. accompanied by Surgeon Major
Harris, Captain Newton of the 34th in
fantry Lieutenant Admire Of the 22nd
infantry, Lieutenant, Mitchell Of the
4Oth infantry; six veteran scouts and
ompany Of native scouts. all picked
mon.
They were to be landed by tho gun
boat Vicksbsrg on remote beach north
Of Boiler, and wsre to proceed overland,
guided by former officer of Aguinaldo.
who had betrayed to Funston the Filipino
leaders above.
To deceive the enemy, it was arranged
that Aguinaldo's representative who had
given the information to the Americans
should lead the native scouts, they to
assume the character Of insurgents still
loyal to the rebel cause.
They were to mako it appear that they
had captured Funston and other Ameri-
can officers Of high rank and were
taking them into the camp OF the in
surgeat leader to be delivered 40 prison
ers Of war.
Then was to come the daring part OF
the plan.
Tho pretended prisoner were to throw
aside their assumed character and meta
morphose themselves from prisoners to
captors; seize Aguinaldo, beat down any
opposition that might show itself and
hold their prisoners no matter how great
tue peril or how great tho forces Of the
esemy.
The news Of Aguinaldo's capture in
