The dispateli conveying this information contained much more than was given to the public. The portion withheld referred to the future disposition of Agr.iun.klo, and made suggestions as to what the late chief of the insurrection might accomplish. No official statement could be obtained as to what finally would be done with the prisoner, but it was emphatically staled that he would be held for the present, but would be granted all possible immunity consistent with existing conditions. Ceneral MacArthur has hopes that a great deal may be accomplished through Aguiualdo. During the time he has been a prisoner he has made quite a favorable impression upon Ceneral MacArthur.

It has been suggested that under the terms of the notice of amnesty the prisoner should be set at liberty at once, but there is a provision in the

amnesty proclamation declaring that those who have violated the laws of war are excepted from its terms. Whether or not Ceneral MacArthur lias satisfied himself that Aguinaldolias not violated the law cannot be stated as tlie prisoner would be permitted :o take the oath pending an investigation of his past conduct. Aguiualdo having been tlie head of the insurrection, undoubtedly can be held until such investigation is made or until the circumstances which stiiTiniud the situation in the Philippines make it advisable to release him outright or otherwise dispose of him. These conditions and the general situations and Aguinaldo's relation to them were the gencal subject of Ceneral MacArihur's dispatch and are being considered by the authorities here, who will have the final disposition of the matter.

The news of Aguinaldo's action was received with evident satisfaction by the war depart merit, and the opinion was expressed inat good results would follow among those who have been still holding out against the United Slates. Should the capture and submission of the Filipino chieftain mark the beginning of the end in the Philippines. it is added that the effect on the American naval representation in Asiatic waters will be a very considerable reduction of our naval force in the far East. There are at present 57 of our naval officials in the Asiatic station a greater number than has ever before been mobilized there, and including some of the finest battleships. cruisers and ironclads in the American navy. A good many of them will now be sent home to form a noucleus for a new squadron.

Its General Effect.

Washington, April 3.—"Aguinaldo's taking the oath of allegiance," said one member of the cabinet, "emphasizes the character of his capture. It makes more ciear that the insurrection has about reached its end, and foreshadows the early complete general acceptance of United States sovereignty and authority. Only a comparatively small number of Filipinos are still in arms, and the effect of Aguinaldo's action on them is obvious. From now on we will press forward organizing the best government suited to the needs of the Filipinos. Aguinaldo's submission will have a considerable bearing in his favor, in the determination of the matter what: to do with him. That will not bp decided for

some

cince

time, and Ceneral MacArthur

and the Philippine commission, meantime. will deliberate carefully over the riuestiou before reaching conclusions."

JONKS CONFESSES

Conspiracy Against I,it"o of Millionnire Kiee Uevealeil Ai. l.asrNew 1'ork. April o.---Without tiu slightest quaver in his well modulated voice, ami displaying no outward sign of regret or remorse. Charles F. .loncs, secretary and valet to the late William Alarsh nice, yesterday confessed, under oath- that he had ended the life of his employer and benefactor with chloroform.

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

The confession was the climax of a remarkable recital ill which was laid bare the details of an alleged subtle conspiracy which had for its object ine seizure of .s: .ot)u.(iii(i in cash and negotiable securities, and the conversion uf *•'!,urn!.twin in realty to the uses of I lie alleged chief conspirator.

There was a dramatic force in the directness a ml minute attention to detail with which .lones approached tho tragedy the moment when lie covered the face of the sleeping man with the saturated napkin and then waited for him to die. The self-confessed murderer told the story of the alleged plot from its inception. The capital crime lie committed and all the minor ofonsos that preceded it, were, he declared. at the instigation of Albert T. Patrick, ll was Patrick, lie said, who conceived 1 lit? idea of forging a will and forging transfers and conveyances. It was Patrick who induced two persons to witness the forged sig nature. It was Patrick who determined thai Kiee should die. ami it was Patrick who sought to have him killed slowly, and then, becoming impatient. determined upon quick action.

And. according to .lones. remarkable us it may seem. Rice never knew Patrick during his lifetime and never saw him but once. .is calmly as though nil fold ins the plot of a drama in which lie was interested only as a spectator. Jones told his remarkable story.

Patrick, accused by the witness of being the arch criminal, listened to the witness with attention and occasionally made notes of the testimony. Not even the remarkable witness on the stand was more cool, calm and collected than this remarkable prisoner. Patrick's hand was firm and steady, lie displayed neither anger, fear nor resentment. When Jones reached the description of the murder of the sleeping man. Patrick merely stroked his beard and leaned back in his chair, apparently slightly bored by the recital of the details.
