ST. Paul, Mimi, June 1S.-The six

LADRoNE LEADER sURRENDERs.
Sakay, president" of FiIipinos, Comes
to His Senses.

Macaro Sakay, self styled president,
and Francisco Carton, vice president
of the Filipino republic has surrender
ed at the constabulary headquarters
in Manila. The military and civil au-
thorities are much elated as Sakay
was chief of ladrones in Luzon, and
his surrender means an end of the
campaigning in this section.
The surrender of this ladrone chief
tain was accomplished through the in
fuence of Villafuerte, a former Off
cial of Sakay's government. The act
ing chief of the constabulary con-
ferred with Villafuerte two months
ago and when the latter gave himself
up he promised to use his influence
with Sakay to persuade him to sur
render. He met Sakay in the provinces
recently for a long conference, which
resulted in the latter's surrender.
Il surrendered" said Sakay, DE
cause fighting is an uphill game and
the Fillipinos will never succeed in
gaining independence until they show
themselves worthy of it. There is
nothing to be gained by opposing the
Americans"
His surrender is regarded as the
most important since the close of the
insurrection. Sakay is an educated
Filipino and after giving the American
authorities much trouble in and
around Manila, proclaimed himself SUI
preme head of the republic with head
quarters in the Tagalog islands, form
ed a large staff and issued commits
sions to generals and other officers.
He went into the provinces three
years ago and started campaign of
robbery and general depreciation. A
reward of $1,000 was offered for his
capture. Sakay fought several bat
ties with the constabulary and was
twice reported killed, but always
