When tho supposed prisoners were

their true character seized the Filipino

The adventure was a desperate one as
treachery was always possible and
General Funston had no absolute

Agulmildo had with him
What to Ho Done With Illin
Washington March 28 The capture
of Agulnaldo is a source of great sat
isfaction to the president and his ad
visers Coming so soon after the sur
renders reported by General Mac Ar
thur of prominent Filipino ofllccrs and
the successful establishment of civil
government by the Tuft commission
they feel that tho end of the rebel
lious warfare In the Islands Is near
nt hand With the expected collapse
of further opposition which It Is confi
dently believed will follow the hope
is expressed that It will not be neces
sary to maintain such a large standing
army lu the Islands as is uow contem
plated
The disposition of Agulnaldo now
that he has been captured will be nn
Interesting event Tho probability of
his capture at any time lias boon kept
in view and his future has been a
matter of formal discussion here It
Is not believed however that any
definite lino of action was over deter
mined on The attitude of the govern
ment for a long time past has been
one of comparative Indifference to
Agulnaldos capture It having boon
determined to crush the rebellion
without regard to his whereabouts
Ills recent activity In directing the
course of operations against the Amer
ican forces probably brought about
the recent change In this altitude As
the leader of an Insurrection against
the United States government
nldo may be tried and executed a lessor
punishment tneted to him by executive
clemency or complete ninnesty ex
tended While the question of punish
ment rests with the military authori
ties It Is believed the president will
make tho matter ono for determination
primarily by the authorities hero

to the effect that affairs are rapidly

ish finances are In confusion All gov

proclaimed his brother Mohammed
Reshad Fffendl to be sultan with tho
title of Mohammed V Tim young

ABANDONS FORCE PLAN
Cruiser New Vork Is Ordered From Tan
gier to to Uu Col
lected by Diplomacy
Washington March 28 Secretary
Long yohteidny cabled an order to Ad
miral Rogers on board the cruiser New
York at Tangier to proceed at once
with that vessel to Manila This
Is an abandonment of the plan to
have the New York convey United
States Consul General Gumniere from
Tangier to Mnzngun In the attempt to
collect American claims It Is the
purpose of the state department to en
deavor to adjust these claims nnd
other Issues against Morocco without
any show of force and by ordinary
practice of diplomacy
It Is said that the United States con
sul general who had conceived that
obstacles were purposely placed in
tho way of his necess to the court has
received assurances that the actual
reason for the departure of the court
from Morocco was to pay a long duo
visit to another section of the country
It nlso was promised that the court
would return within n month or six
weeks nnd would receive Mr Gum
mere probably at Mazagan thus ob
viating the necessity on his part for
an overland journey to the capital In
this view of the case and the New
York being badly needed In the east
to take the place of the Newark ns a
flagship It was decided to let the
vessel proceed at once on Its voyage
Mr Gum mere probably will now
enter Into fresh communication with
the Moorish government to secure
another appointment for a meeting

BRITAIN ADDS PROTEST
llrltlsli Government Olllclally Objects to
Secret Treaties In China Directed
Against Russia
Washington March 28 The British
government bus protested against
Chinas milking a convention with any
power touching territorial or flnanclals
until the troubles In thut country are
concluded The fact of the British
protest was made known here for
the llrst time by a dispatch from ono
of the foreign offices of Europe It
says that the protest was made
through Sir Earnest Satow the British
minister at Peking
Although the Russian agreement Is
not specillcally referred to it Is said
to be clear that the British action Is
directed against the Russian agree
ment Tho language appears to bo
similar to that used by Secretary
Hay In the American protest The
effect of the British action Is to place
the United States Japan and Great
Britain In fornnil opposition to tho
signing of a convention by China with
any power pending the settlement of
the Chinese troublg The course of
Great Britain is the more significant
from the fact that that government
nnd Germany have a written alliance
relnting to Chinese affairs
The concurrence of the protests prob
ably explains why the Mnnchurlnn
agreement has not been signed There
was something of a stir In diplomatic
quarters over the report coming from
olilciul sources that the United States

addressing Russia directly on the sub
