and prldo that ure too deep for words.
Flvo miles from telegraph wires and tho
dally papers, tho news of thu crowning
achievement of tholr son's life was brouxht
to them by tho Associated I'ress repre
sentative. Mr. Funston was In tho Melds
nt work when told tho news. Ho leaned
against tho wagon and exclaimed In his
deep roar: "Well, that H certainly grati
fying," As tho details of the early dispatches
wero read to Mr. Funston, who was with
out glasses, ho drank In every word, his
face beaming with satisfaction. "It cer
tainly adds u crowning glory to his career.
I was afraid when ho started out that ho
might bo killed by tho treacherous natives.
At first I doubted tho truth of tho story,
but tho moro I thought of It the moro cro

"Oh, It is tho biggest thing of tho cen

thought tho matter over. "I don't kuow

pected lo come homo next summer, but
might go back, as a civilian, of course.
Now tho government may gtvu him some
thing that would change his mind. 1 don't
want to say anything about that.''
Mrs, Funston was found at the house.
Sho was nervously excited over tho news,
her faco beaming and her eyes dancing.
"I never lost faith In Fred's lucky star,"

TREATMENT AND PUNISHMENT
Conner In i-f I II imI liy .Military lU-u-iiliilliin,

tn Conjecture.
WASHINGTON, March 2S. Tho War de
partment has not had time ns yet to con
sider tho exact status of Aguinaldo,
whither he is to be tried, and what punish
ment, If any. is to bo meted out to him.
Hut thero uro certain general principles
which aro said to bo clearly established,
and the llrst question asked Is as to whether
Aguinaldo Is to be tried as a military or a
a civil offender.
If he Is to be regarded ns having com
mitted treasonable acts or fomented an In
surrection against tho 1'nlted States then
the trial will bo of a civil character, for
these aro political olfenses against the au
thority of tho United States government
and nro not offenses under tho articles of
war. to bo tried by a military coui't-murtlul
or commission. It Is hardly expected that
tho rigorous proceduro for treason would be
adopted. If it should be, section H322 of tho
revised statutes provides that "every per
son guilty of treason shall suffer death, or,
at tho discretion of tho court, shall bo im
prisoned nt hard labor for not less than live
years and rtned not less than $10,0W3."
l'liniNliiiiciit lit Kit the Crimp.
Another section provides for Inciting In
surrection, short of actual treason, and
specifics for punishment ns follows:
F.very person who Incites, sets on foot,
assists or engages In any rebellion or Insur
rection against tho authority of the United
States shall be punished by imprisonment
for not moro than ten years, or by a lino of
not moro than JlO.OoQ, or both.
Tho foregoing, however, nro political
offenses ngalust the authority of tho United
States. It Is presumed that guinaldo will
bo held for the present nt least as a mili
tary prisoner. If tried ns such, It would
be because ho had offended agalust some
of the articles of war. Already thero have
been several trials of Filipino officers for
offenses against military usage, such us
brutality, but a military tribunal will not
take up the larger political offenses against
tho authority of tho United States. Arti
cle 151 of the regulations governing armies
iu tho field recites:
Treating In the Held with the rebellious
enemy according to the law and usages i
of war has never prevented the legitimate i
government from trying the leader of ;
the rebellion, or tho chief rebels for high 1
treason, and from treating them accord- I
lngly. unless they aro Included in a gen-1
oral amnesty.
Tills article Is referred to as showing
that tho warfaro in the rhlllppincs hns not
given Aguinaldo such u strict military
status as 'to relieve him from tho higher
and graver vital offenso of high treason. At
the same time, thero Is little belief that this
offenso will be charged, tho Idea being that
ho will be held ns n prisoner without any
definite determination of his status, and
perhaps In tlmo bo granted amnesty on
condition that he leave the country.
Treatment un a I'rUnucr.
Aside from the punishment to be visited
upon him, tho military regulations provide
for the manner In which ho shall bo treated
while held as a prisoner. These regulations
nro similar to those of the Oxford confer
ence, and more recently H1030 made at Tho
I'uguo conference. Some of the main fea
tures are that the captured officer must
surrender his nrms; the confinement must
bo such ns will Insure safety, hut without
Intentional suffering or Indignity; a prlsonor
who escapes may be shot while In Might;
paroles may bo granted on stated condi
tions; honorable men, when captured, will
abstain from giving Information concerning
tholr own army, and violence Is not to be
used against prisoners to extort Informa
tion." Ilml Hoped Me V Demi.
The fact that many orders issued In Agui
naldo's name never were actually signed
by him encouraged the belief that his nnme
was being used by his followers even after
his death. There was nnother story that
Aguinaldo was onco raptured by General
Young, but was in the garb of and ap
peared as a common luborer of tho dis
trict, not understanding n word of English
and Spanish, and was turned loose after a
few days.

MANILA, Mulch 2S. General Fred Funs
ton, who, .March 23, captured General Eml
llo Aguinaldo, when Interviewed today by
the representative of the Associated I'ress,
made tho following statement concerning
the capture of tho Filipino leader:
Tho confidential agent of Aguinaldo ar
rived Februury 2S at l'autabungan, lu tho
provlnco of Nuevn Eclja, northern Luzon,
with lctter3 dated January 11, 12 and H.
Theso letters were from Enilllo Aguinaldo
and directed Ualdermcr Aguinaldo to take
command of tho provinces of central Luzon,
supplementing General Alcjnndrlno. Eml
llo Aguinaldo also ordered that 400 men be
sent him as soon as possible, saying that
tho bearer of tho lotters would guldo these
men to wheto Aguinaldo was.
General Funston secured the correspond
ence of Agutnaldo's agent and laid his plans
accordingly. Some months previously ho
had captured the camp of the Insurgent
General Lacunn, Incidentally obtaining La
cuna's seal, official papers aud a quantity
of signed correspondence. From this ma
terial two letters were constructed ostensi
bly from Lacuna to Aguinaldo.
One of these contained Information as to
the progress of the war. Tho other asserted
that pursuant to orders received from Hal
dcrmcro Aguinaldo Lacuna was sending his
best company to I'resldento Emllio Agui
naldo. Men Curefnlly CIioncu.
His plans completed nnd approved, Gen
eral Funston came to Manila and organized
his expedition, he requiring seventy-eight
Mncabebes, all of whom spoke Tugolog
fluently. Twenty wnro Insurgent uniforms
and tho others tho dress of Filipino labor
ers. This company armed with fifty
Mausers, eight Remingtons and ten Krng
Jorgcnsens was commanded by Captain litis-
soli T. Hnzzard of tho Eleventh United
States voluuteer cavalry. With him was
his brother, Oliver 1'. M. Hazzard, of tho
same regiment. Captain Harry W. Newton,
Thirty-fourth Infantry, was taken because
of his familiarity with Caslguran Hay, and
LleuUr.unt Ilurton Mitchell, Fortieth Infan
try, went as General Funston's aide. These
were tho only Americans accompanying tho
leader of the expedition. With tho Maca
bebes wero four ex-Insurgent officers, cno
being a Spaniard and the other three
Tngalos, whom General Funston trusted
Implicitly.
General Funston and the officers wore
plain blue shirts und khaki trousers. They
each carried a half blanket, but wnro no
Insignia of rank. The Mncabebes wero care
fully Instructed to obey the orders of tuo
four ex-Insurgent officers.
i:piMlltlon CiiiliiirUm,
On the nlpht of March S, the party em
barked (,u the United States gunboat Vleks
burg. It was originally Intended to tako
cascoes from the island of I'ollllo nnd to
drift to the mainland, hut a storm nroto
nnd three of the cascoes were lost. ThU
plan was abandoned. At 2 p in.. March II,
the Vleksburg put her lights out and ran
In shore twcnty-llvo miles south of Casl
guran, province n' I'rlmip". The party
landed and marched to CaHlguian. Tin
Americans had never garrisoned this place
and the Inhabitants are strong Insurgent
sympathizers. Having arrived thero the
Insurgent oIIUji-s ostensibly commanding
the party announced that they wero on the
wuy to Join Aguinaldo between I'uiobnng
and Haler. that they had t-urprlsed an
American surveying party, and that they

In
LINCOLN. March 2S. (Special Telegram )
Chat Ich H. Dietrich may be both governor
and senator for Nebraska, at linst for
some time to come. If he omiplcs this
dual position It ill nut be ft am choice,
but beenuco the erlgenclmj of the polltli-il
situation will require It. That It Is pos
sible for him to do so Is established by
variotu precedents, the last one being
Govtruor Duvld II. Hill, who wim governor
nnd senator from the Empire state for
nearlv n year.
When Governor Dietrich will resign will
depend upon a construction of the utattucs
and the constitution by the best legal talent.
The question Is, should he resign at
once, nnd leave thu office to be filled b
i.v '
Lieutenant Governor Savage, would
create m h a vacancy as would In law I
havi' to filled by special election next No-
vember. Havlnn elected u complete set of
republic nu statr oflleers to servo for terms
of two jenr each, the party could not u.il
sfford to invite the chance of another
gt.bernator'al election this year, with III
possibility of opposition siftels and the
dlsloilgenient of -ill the nppclntlve officer
and eniployts. CiiMory examination of tie
statutes Is not conclusive, because they
stem to hnve cotilllctlng provisions nnd the
recoids fall to show any previous rnvs
directly in point. The only vacanclea Ne
braska has had In eleetlvp cf!lrer are
cue In the position of auditor nnd another
on the supremo court bench. In lssn Audi
tor Liedtke skipped out, short In his ac
counts, but the vacancy vn allowed to
stand until the November election, when
John Walllchs was appointed to fill the
unexpired term, because ho bad already
been chosen at the polls to fill the full
term beginning the next January. Two
years before (tbat Jmtlre Gantt of the su
preme couit had died In the nlonth of May
and his place was tilled by appointment of
Antasa Cobb, who was elected in November
of the same year, lo fill out the unexpired
term.
If It had been any other officer than gov
ernor, v ho hud been elected senator, there
Is no question that thu vacation of the
office would leave It to bo tilled nt tho coming
election. Tho constitution In section IS of
article v, provides:
In case of the death. Impeachment und
notice thereof, to bo accused, failure to
qualify, resignation, ubsenco from tho state,
or other disability of tho governor, tho pow
ers, duties nun emoluments of the office
for tho residue of thu term, or until thu dis
ability shall be removed, shall devolve upon
tho lliutenaiit governor.
This apparently creates a distinction be
tween vacancies In the ofllco of governor
and other stnto officers, so that successors
to tho executive shall serve tho entire re
mainder of tho term, while successors to
the other state officers shall servo only until
the next election and their successors aro
' chcEcn and qualified. Some doubt Is ex
pressed whether tho qualification "or until
tho disability shall be removed" could be
I cocFtrued luto meaning that the disability
liould bo removed by tho election of a
short-term govcrndr at an oft year stnto
election. With the' supremo court con
trolled by a majority'' of fusion Judges, who
might look at tho subject from their own
point of view, Governor Dietrich will want
to make suro that he Is on tho safe uldo
befcro filing his offlu. icslgnatloD, nnd
should It be decided that uny risk was to
be run he would certainly remain In the
governor's office until next November, not
withstanding tho fact thnt ho has been
duly chosen to represent tho state as Its
senator at Washington,

rlul Cluilr.
Lieutenant Governor Ezra Perln Savage,
who now becomes Governor of tho state by
virtue of tho election of Governor Diet
rich to represent tho stnto in the United
States senate, was born in Connorsvlllc,
Ind., In 1842, being the son of Ilenjnmlu
Wnrren Savago and Hannah I'erlu Savage.
His father died when tho son was but 5
years of age and live years later E. V.
Suvogo started out In life for himself,
helping his mother support tho largo family
that was left.
Governor Savago began work on a farm
and when 1C yeurs old weut to Davenport to
attend tho High school. Ho paid his way
by sawing wood during school months nnd
by working on farms during tho summers.
In tho samo manner he worked his way in
Iowa collcgo until It moved from Davenport
to Greenville. For recreation, Governor
Savago studied law and has been admitted
to practice lu tho state and tho federal
courts.
In 1SC5 Governor Savngo entered the
Btock, grain aud Implement business at
Lyons, la., and six years later gavo his
attention to cattlo raising In Crawford
county, Iowa, where laud was worth at that
tlmo about Jfi per acre. That section of tho
country developed so rapidly that two years
later Governor Savage sold his land for
prices ranging from $30 to $50 an acre.
Hetween thnt tlmo and March, 1879, ho
engaged In tho lumber nnd grain business
and was also Interested In a bank. At the
later dato he catno to Nebraska, locating In
Custer county.
When Governor Savago went to that part
of tho state Grand Island was his nearest
market town, nnd tho railroad was nlnoty
miles away. The educational advantages
of Lincoln Induced him to llvo thero for
some time, nnd later ha resided In South
Omaha, whero ho entered Into the commis
sion business with Georgo It. Green. He
was tho llrst mayor of South Omaha. Iu
ISM ho returned to his ranch In Custer
county. Mr. Savage laid out the town of
Sargmt In 1SS3. and tho II. & M. built
through thero in lS'.iff.
During the last two years of tho civil
war Governor Savago was a scout for
Generals Grant nnd Sherman, nnd was often
placed In positions of great peril. His serv
ices through tho struggle proved of great
value.
Mr. Savago has been a llfo-long repub
lican and served tho public as representa
tive from Custer and Sherman counties In
tho Seventeenth session of tho legislature.

Tho story of tho loug-drawn senatorial
contest, deadlocked for three months, has
been told lu all Its details lu the columtu
of Tho llee, but u cursory review of the
salient features cannot fall to be interest
ing. During thu campaign, previous to the
November election, which gavo Nebraska
a republican legislature, but threo or four
natres were prominently mentioned a-3
probable candidates for senatorial houora.
Tl.eso candidates wero D. E. Thompson aud
E. II. Hlnshiw lu tho South Platto terri
tory nnd Edward Hoscwater and Georgo
D. Melklejohn In tho North I'latto terri
tory. When tho legislature caniu to con

sprung to tho front to share in tho dis
tribution of tho votes, among thfiu Francis
Martin, E. J. Halner, F. M. Currle, Lorenzo
Crounse, M. I'. Klnknid, L. D. Richards
and several others. Tho first complication
arose over tho allotment, of the two sen

was laboring under tho Impression that
tho lcgislaturo would proceed to elect to

tho election for the full term to bo taken
up at tho regular tlmo after tho lapso of

republican cnucus this morning, ending tho
senatorial deadlock that had hung over tho
legislature slnco Its opening, and woro
formally rat. fled lu Joint session, when
every republican member present regis
tered his voto for tho caucus nominees.
Tho iigt cement to reliro Thompson was
mado In a conference between Mr. Thomp
son. Governor Dietrich nnd General Mana
ger Holdrege of the llurllngton. The other
candidates who withdrew acted on their
own motion, realizing tho demand of tho
party for tho subordination of individual
umlltlons In tho critical moment.
CrouiiMi; .Miil.cn Supreme llllort.
The morning was full of exciting scenes.
A desperate effort was made when tho cau
cus icconvened nbotit S.30 to force :l
nomination of Lorenzo Crounse, to whom
all tho Melklejohn nnd Currle votes wero
thrown as if by preconcerted movement. As
less than fifty wero present It wan plain
tho necessary forty-flvo could not bo se
cured, but messengers wero sent iu every
direction by tho Crounse boomers to bring
In nbsonto3, even thoso coming In who
for moro than a week had refused to slgu
tho caucus agreement und had been doing
all In their power to break up tho caucua
altoscther.
About 10 o'clock It became noised about
,tbt 1). E. Thompson was tin tho eve of
withdrawing nnd tho untis gathered in
tho caucus room nt tho Llndell, together
with those members who had been hanging
on tho outskirts. Mr. Thompson was fol
lowed In Immediately by Mr. Itosewater and
later by Mr. Melklejohn. Thompson usked
leave to address tho members, saying in sub
fctanco thnt in the long light ho had never
hud any apprehension that the legislnturo
would adjourn without electing two sena
tors, because. If It enmo to that point, hu
knew ho would sacrifice It Ih personal inter
ests. Ho scored the antls severely, de
nouncing their methods of campaigning
against him, and closed by suggesting that
ho might name n man who would bo ac
ceptable to him and also to the party and
the members. Ho named Governor Dietrich.
Mr. Ilohfivuti'r II Inl rnw .
Mr. Uoaewater spoKo, referring to tho
promise he had made u few weeks ago to
President MeKinloy, to do nil In his power
to have Nebraska icprcsented lu tho sunato
by men who would uphold and support tho
administration. Ho said Otunha was en
titled to consideration In tho selection of
senators and proposed ns another Omaha
man Hon. Georgo W, Llnlnger, He alto nc
qulcsced In tho proposal of Joseph II. Mil
lard and usked tho Douglas delegation to
cast their votes for Mr. Millard, and during
the ballot In cnucus urged the selection of
Mr. Millard.
Mr. Melklejohn bowed his retirement In it
few words.
On proceeding to ballot on a North I'latto
candidate llrst, it s fouud the Crounse
men were still Insistnnt' upon their choice.
The llrst ballot resulted, 34 for Millard and
32 for Crounse; second ballot, 3'J to 27.
Currlo passed on third ballot and swung in
for Millard with a speech, and, as tho
changes lu quirk succession showed Mil
lard's nomination certain, Crounsu rose nnd
moved to mnko It unanimous. All tho Doug
las delegation voted for .Millard except
Ilaldrige, who went to rroutiso. In tho In
terval, Governor Dietrich ha'd been chosen
for tho short term by unanimous voto, and
tho crowd burst out of the caucus chamber
shouting aud congratulating onn another on
the ending of tho deadlock, heading immedl.
ately for their respective houses, ns It was
long past tho hour for convening, whero
great throngs crowded tho floors and gal
lories.

tho responses of Senutor Allen nnd O. M
Hitchcock to tho resolution relating to the
election of senators by direct popular voto
and nlso a written withdrawal from D. E.
Thompson. Tho llrst voto for Dietrich nnd
Millard was explained by Allen, who said
it was his speclnl privilege to proclaim
their names. Ilroderlck. as tho first of thu
antls to voto for the caucus nominees, was
roundly npplnudnd, us were also several nt
