alleged captors before Agulmildo they suddenly appeared In their true character seized the Filipino chief and made their way to the coast The adventure was a desperate one as treachery was always possible and General Funston had no absolute means of knowing how many men 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 llryau Hears the News Lincoln March 28 W J Bryan was

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
