Joseph Arthur's successful melodrama of twenty years ago. "The Still Alarm," has Icon revived on nn elaborate scale, and was presented at English's Opera Houso last night with Harry Lacy in his familiar eld character of Jack Stanley. The word familiar" I used advisedly, since the programme asserts that Mr. Lacy has playtd thi3 part over seventeen hundred times In Kngland and America. He impersonates the character In an exceedingly natural manner and received enthusiastic applause many times last night. The audience was very small indeed, and the man who booked this attraction at English's might have known that it would not he well paticnized in a high-class theater, as the patrons of English's have repeatedly shown Ir. the most positive manner that they do riot desire melodrama in tneir amusements. The riece has a great deal of real merit Ir. It, aside from the handsorrw settings and the fine mechanical and electrical effects Introduced. The story is claan, wholesome und full of interest. There is considerable rmtft fomprfv that Is vorv pleasing. Jack Manley Is responsible for much of this, and he perretratei the funny lines assigned him in a deliclouslv droll way. Lynn Pratt makes a good villain. John Bird, alias dorman. Krank C. Bangs is only fairly goou us Franklin Fordham. although he is handicaped by having to figure in several abfurd situations. Charles K. French does a capital piece of character work in the role of Doc Wilbur, the old sot. Faul P. Fvan is well :ast as Jcc Jenes, an old volunteer fireman. Herbert St. John Brenon makes a hit with his breezy acting in the role of Willie. Manley. The members of tha fire department, composed of Harry A larkins. Fhilip Dwyrr. John Kinney. John J. Conway, Charles Bryde. William Oaffner and Birch Johnson, assisted by Mr. Brenon. form a splendid double quartet and sing a number of popular nirs in the third act. Mis Emma Brennan Ince makes an attractive mother. Mr. Manley. Belle Hold has the lively soubrotte part of Cad Wilbur, and Miss Elizabeth Baker impersonates Eltnore Fordham. the heroine. The Fcenery used in the production Is appropriate, and that representing the engine house In the third act is about as realistic &s pnvthing shown here In a long time. The audience caught the spirit of the wild dash of the horses and real fire engine to the f.re that vra. signaled by a "still alarm." ard applauded until the curtain had to be rdlid several times. The effec: of the enpine racing throviRh the. street through a heavy snowstorm was admirably produced.

Watson returned to the Empire Theater yesterday at the head of one of his' own shows and will remain for the rest of the week. Watson is funny, and it can be said that he is one of the best Hebrew im personators in the burlesque business, but he detracts from such nhilitv hv mniinc use of much suggestive business. This was irue or tne opening performance yesterday. The first burlesque. "Levy in Japan." is nicely staged and there Is plenty of room for a great amount of pleasing entertainment, but Watson is the central figure, and makes the most of his opportunity with suggestive remarks. The olio is below the average. Yesterday the patrons of the house undertook to show their displeasure by making more noise than the performer In an efTort to drive them from the stage. "Krousemeyer's Alley," the title of the last burlesque, hs the same medium for suggestlveness that has been presented here before. Xoten of the Stage. The Streator Zouaves will give their marvelous drill and wall-scaling exhibition to-morrow night at the Grand Opera House in the presence of the W. E. English Zouaves, a local organization of considerable prominence. XXX Julia Kingsley, who will bo a special feature in the Grand's bill next week, is described as a dainty little woman who has all the grace and abandon of a premiere de ballet. She is said to be charming In person and an actress of uncommon ability. xxx Tho last act of "Eight Bells," the patomimlc comedy, in which the Byrne brothers will bo seen at the Park Theater tho first three afternoons and nights of next week, is entirely new and will, it is said, demonstrate that the Byrnes are a rarely progressive llrm of clever artists. XXX Last night at Zoo was dental students night, and the faculty and students of the Indiana Dental College were special guests. Dr. M. II. Pritchard took part in the programme, and in the steel arena gave several very clever imitations. The college quartet, Messrs. Smead, Anderson. Wlsnard and Lucas, were encored. To-night there will be a benetit for the Seventh Presbyterian Church. xxx "King 'Rastus" is the title of the piece which will be presented by Isham's Octoroons at the Park Thursday afternoon and r.ight next week, and it is suld to contain plenty of ragtime music, picturesque cakewalking. Southern plantation melodies, beautiful costumes, special ncenery, in fact everything that goes to make up a first-class lively entertainment. XXX The Maude Adams production of "LAilon" in New York was an event of great dramatic moment, and not a little of its success was due to tho fine intelligence, dignfled and worthy purpose and liberality of expenditure brought to bear on Its production in this country. In assuming the title role Miss Adams has shown besides her great natural gifts and tine art, profound research, devoted study and the keenest Intellectual acumen. XXX The coming of the celebrated young actor, Henry Miller, to English's Opera House Saturday afternoon and night of next week in Madelaine Lucetto Byley's new play, "Richard Savage," will mean also the appearance of a number of people of the stage who are well known and exceedingly well liked here. These are t lorence Uockwell. the charming young woman who was Stuart Itobson's leading woman la.-t year; Mrs. Louise Thorndyke Bouclcault, Miss Jennie Eustace, Owen Fawcett, Arthur Elliott and Joseph' Wheeiock. XXX Plenty of people were in line in front of the box office of English's Opera House, yesterday morning, when the window opened at 9 o'clock and tho sale of seats commenced for the engagement of Maude Adams in "L'Aiglon." the first three nights of next week. The line of buyers wound in zig-zag fashion through the lobby of the theater and out on the sidewalk, extending almost to the corner of Meridian street and the Circle. Many small boys were In line and earned a neat sum of money by disposing of their positions at a good round sum to older people who really wanted seats for the engagement. There was a good sale for all three performances, but the late comers will still lind excellent lo cations awaiting their purchase. X A X Present Indications are that Mrs. Fiske's production of "Becky Sharp" at th Park Theater Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday afternoon of next week will enjoy remarkable patronage from i.cal and out-of-town theatergoers. The character of Becky Sharp shows Mrs. Fiske's artistic personality in all of its variations and is exactly true to her mentnl alertness, her nervous, incisive manner, her spirited movement and her temperamental habit Physically and mentally, she is almost aealiy the Becky of Thackeray's descrip tion, and her impersonation is the most brilliant portrait in the great actress s gal lery of stage types. As a production "Becky Sharp" is said to be one of the most magnificent and artistic ever seen in this city. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY.

The National Vehicle Board of Trade met at the Denlson Hotel yesterday. Among the manufacturers present were W. E. Miles, president of the Racine Carriage and Wagon Company,' Racine, Wis.; R. E.

MACARTIiriUS REPORT.

Praise for Fnnnton Agninnldo Probably Will Atlviac Surrender. WASHINGTON. March 2S.-A cablegram received at the War Department late this afternoon from General MacArthur tells in a succinct way ythe history of Aguinaldo's capture, gives all credit for the brilliant exploit to General Funston, whose reward, it suggests, should be that of a brigadier general in the regular army, and finally closes with an expression of confidence in the speedy cessation of hostilities throughout the Philippine archipelago as a result of the capture. Except that it makes no reference to the disposition to be made of Aguinaldo the dispatch covers the whole field of gossip and speculation excited in Washington by the news that Funston's adventurous expedition had been crowned with complete success. The cablegram is as follows: "Manila, March 2. Important messages fell into hands of General Funston Feb. 28 from which Aguinaldo was located at Palanan, Isabella province. Expedition organized,' consisting of Aguinaldo's captured messenger, four ex-insurgent officers and seventy-eight Macabebes who spoke Tagalo. armed with Mausers and Remingtons and dressed to represent insurgents. Funston commanded, accompanied by Capt. Russell T. Hazzard. Eleventh Cavalry; Capt. Harry W. Newton. Thirty-fourth Infantry; Lieut. Oliver P. M. Hazzard, Eleventh United States Volunteer Cavalry; Lieut. Burton J. Mitchell, Fortieth United States Volunteer Infantry. Officers dressed as American privates and represented as prisoners. Expedition sailed from Manila March C on the Vicksburg, landed March 14 on the east coast of Luzon twenty miles south of Casiguran and reached Palanan on the afternoon of March 23. Natives completely misled. Supposed the party to be a detachment of Insurgent reinforcements, for which supplies were furnished. Aguinaldo also sent supplies and had his escort of forty men paraded to extend proper honor. A short distance from Aguinaldo's quarters the disguise wers discarded and a combat followed, resulting In two insurgents being killed and eighteen rifles and one thousand rounds of ammunition captured, together with Aguinaldo and two principal staff officers. No casualties on our side. Splendid co-operation of the navy through Commander Barry. Officers and men of the Vicksburg were indispensable to success. Funston loudly praises navy. Entire army Joins In thanks to sea service. "The transaction was brilliant in conception and faultless In execution. All credit must go to Funston, who, under supervision of General Wheaton, organized and conducted the expedition from start to finish. His reward should be signal and Immediate with General Wheaton. who recommends Funston's retention in the volunteers until he can be appointed a brigadier general of regulars. "I hope speedy cessation of hostilities throughout the archipelago as a consequence of this stroke. As a result of conferences now in probable progress. Aguinaldo will issue an address advising general surrender, delivery of arms and acceptance of American supremacy." The conferences in ."probable progress" referred to in the dispatch are believed at the War Department to mean conferences with other insurgent leaders by army officers or by the Taft commission. FIRST OFFICIAL. II IMPORTS. Prenldent und Cabinet Flensed "What Will lie Dono with Affulnnldof WASHINGTON, March 28. The news of General Aguinadlo's capture by General Funston was received everywhere in official circles with intense gratification, but, perhaps, nowhere did It create more satisfaction than at the White House. The first official news to reach the executive mansion was General MacArthur's dispatch announcing the capture which came about last midnight. This morning the President also saw Admiral Remey's cablegram and the press dispatches. The cable grams from General MacArthur and Ad miral Remey are as follows: From MacArthur: "General Funston has just returned from expedition to Palanan, province of Isabella, where he captured Aguinaldo, who is now In my possession at Malacanan. From Hemey: "Vicksburg sailed on the fcth Inst, with General Funston and eighty three Macabebes aboard on an expedition to capture Aguinaldo, and returned to day. Aguinaldo and three staff officers captured and delivered to the custody cf General MacArthur." The President naturally is very much gratified that the chief mover in the insurrection has' at last been taken. It has been the opinion of the military author! ties for a long time that Aguinaldo was doing more than all the other agencies combined to keep the rebellion in the Phil ippines alive, and every energy was di rected to compass his capture. A remark able tribute to the daring resourcefulness of General Funston is the fact that long before he made the attempt he was se lecled by the authorities here as the o ncer who might accomplish it. It was the intention of General Funston some time ago to return to the United States, but by direction of the War Department he was detained in the Philippines in the hope that just such a contingency as did arise should give him the opportunity to test his prowess. Both the President and War Department were lully informed or the trap laid to capture the Insurgent cruet. and the result of the expedition has been anxiously awaited tor several days. QUESTIONS RAISED. Several Interesting and Indeed vital ques tions are raised by Aguinaldo's capture If the insurrection now collapses, as it is hoped it will, it may not be necessary to enlist the full strength of the army provided for in the army reorganization bill. There is also the question as to what is to be done with the insurgent chiefs. But it is early yet for the authorities to decide these questions. There also is much speculation as to the reward which General Funston may receive for his work. It Is considered not improbable that his reward will be a commission In the regular establishment. Representative Long, of Kansas, was at the War Department to-day and discussed with officials the matter of adequately rewarding General Funston for the capture of Aguinaldo. Mr. Long says that about six weeks ago the Kansas delegation called upon Secretary Root and the President and recommended General Funston for promotion and asked that he be given some recognition for past services. It was said then that there was no place for Gen. Funston except in one of the staff departments, unless he was made a brigadier general, and It was said that he could not expect such a promotion as that. The action of the delegation was purely voluntary, as General Funston had made no application to them, nor had he made any request at the War Department for recognition. Mr. Long says that the Kansas people are proud of General Funston and will be especially pleased over his latest achievement. In Cabinet circles General Funston's exploit was referred to in laudatory terms, and the probable effect it will have on the termination of hostilities in the Philippines Is being generally discussed. Seeretary Long expressed the prevailing sentiment He was gratified at the official confirmation of Aguinaldo's capture and of th assistance that the navy had leen abie to render General Funs loa la XacilitaUna

his exploit. The capture itself was of much importance, he said, but he suggested that the moral effect probably

would count quite as much as the bril liancy of the exploit. He considered It one of the most significant features of the af fair that the natives themselves had been instrumental in bringing about the cap ture. They had made up a considerable part of Funston's force, and their willingness to go into the heart of Aguinaldo's stronghold indicated that in their own minds they felt there was no longer any real danger to be apprehended from Aguinaldo's strength. That such a sentiment had obtained hold among the Filipinos was. In the judgment of Secretary Long, a significant evidence that the Insurrection had lost Its vitality among the people themselves. To this sentiment was now added the loss of the ostensible head of the lnsurrectory movement, which would doubtless exert far-reaching influence upon the native mind. The secretary said he presumed that Aguinaldo would be held as a prisoner of war. "What will be done to hira?" Mr. Long was asked. SHOULD BE SPANKED. "It is a little early to say," responded the secretary, and then, after a pause, he added, smilingly, "I should say he should be spanked with a shingle." It was suggested to the secretary that, as a prisoner of war who has rebelled against the authority of the United States, It might be incumbent, under military procedure, .to deal with Aguinaldo by those rigorous steps usual to warfare. But Mr. Long shook his head and remarked that that was hardly the way we were in the habit of doing things. He was more inclined to his first view that the noted prisoner should be "well spanked." This idea as to the treatment to be accorded Aguinaldo seemed to be the one most generally accepted among officials, and while the suggestion of spanking is used in a figurative sense, there is no suggestion in any quarter that he will meet with that rigorous punishment at times administered to the arch-head of an insurrection. Particularly In the War Dcnartmcnt dil the capture of Aguinaldo cause discussion among the officials. As to the disposition to be made of the famous prisoner, some of the army officers expressed the opinion that it would prove troublesome. Secretary Root said he remembered the capture of Jefferson Davis; also, the arrest of William M. Tweed, both of which embarrassed the authorities. The secretary desired further information from General MacArthur before discussing the matter at great detail. He would say little or nothing about the disposition of Aguinaldo, further than to say that he would be treated the same as the other high officers of the insurgents who have been taken by the Americans In the prosecution of the war. SECRETARY HAY'S VIEWS. Secretary Hay said, to-day: "The progress which is being made by Judge Taft and General MacArthur toward the pacification of the Philippine islands and the very general establishment of civil government throughout the archipelago renders the capture of Aguinaldo Just now a matter of less Importance than It would have been had it happened at an earlier period. Yet, of course, the elimination of a man so prominent in the insurrection from the problem of the final settlement is surely a matter on which the country should be congratulated." The secretary did not care to discuss, at this time, the future- of Aguinaldo, as it was a matter upon which his counsel might be invoked very soon. It was quite evident, however, that he had little apprehension that the famous chieftain would be martyrized, because he was sure that the military authorities would deal with him in such manner as to avoid the least pretense lor complaint of their severity. Admiral Crownlnshield. chief of the Bureau of Navigation, while feeling that the capture of Aguinaldo had gone far toward finally terminating the insurrection, was not prepared to admit that it would Justify a speedy reduction of the naval force in the Philippines. It was to be expected tnat, for some time to come, the ladrones would frequent their old haunts and the Americans would be required to hold them m check. Army officers, who have been in the Philippines, were very much interested in the news, and some of them discussed the military-judicial features: of the case. It was pointed out that Aguinaldo could be held as a prisoner of war until the close of the war. Another phase of the question, relating to the proclamation and crders of Aguinaldo tending to secure the assassination and massacre of Americans. Europeans and friendly Filipinos without regard to their activity in the prosecution of the war on the insurgents, was discussed. It was satd that in case these proclamations and orders could be proved, Aguinaldo would be subject to trial by a military commission for violation of the rules of war and he could not claim immunity, under the ordinary conduct of war. J. C. Albru, a Filipino, who has been in Washington for several months, was at the War Department to-day and discussed with Secretary Root the effect of the capture of Aguinaldo on the insurrection in the Philippines. He said that, in his opinion, it meant the end of the war. Many generals and natives were depending upon Aguinaldo for advice and support, and his capture would be especially disheartening to them. Aguinaldo, he said, was more influential In the northern than in the southern portion of Luzon, but the surrender of Gen. Trias in southern Luzon, coupled with the capture of Aguinaldo, would practically put an end to the insurrection, as it was the patience, and determination of Aguinaldo that had put heart into the insurrection for a long time. AGUXALHO'S rt .MSIIMKXT. Military and Civil Statutes llcarlng on Rebel Lender's Case. WASHINGTON, March 28. The War Department has "not had time as yet to consider whether Aguinaldo is to be tried and what punishment, If any, is to be meted out to him. The first question asked is whether Aguinaldo is to be tried as a military or as a civil offender. If he is to be regarded as having committed treasonable acts, or fomented an insurrection against the United States government, the trial would be of a civil character, for theso are political offenses against the authority of the United States government and are not offenses under the articles of war to be tried by a military court-martial or commission. .It Is hardly expected that the rigorous procedure for treason will be adopted. If it should be. Section f the Revised Stat utes provides "that every person guilty of treason shall suffer death, or, at the discretion of the court, shall be imprisoned at hard labor for not less than five years and fined not less than 510,000." Another section provides for Inciting insurrection, short of actual treason, and specifies the punishment as follows: "Every person who incites, sets on foot, assists or engages In any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States shall be punished by imprisonment not more than ten years or by a fine of not more than $10,000, or by both." The foregoing, however, are political offenses against the authority of the United States. It is presumed that Aguinaldo wiil be held for the present, at least as a military prisoner. If tried as such it would be becauüe he had offended against some of the articles of war. Already there have been several trials of Filipino officers for offenses against military usage, such as brutality, but a military tribunal will not take up the larger political offense against the authority of the United States. Article of the regulations governing armies in the field recites: "Treating in the field the rebellious enemy according to the law and usages of war has never prevented the legitimate government from trying the leaders of the rebellion or the chief rebels for high treason and from treating them accordingly, unless they are included ir. a general amnesty." This article is referred to as showing that the warfare in the Philippines has not given Aguinaldo such a strict miiitary status as to relieve him from the higher and graver civil offense of high treason. At the same time there Is little belief that this offense will be charged, the idea being that he will be held as a prisoner without any definite determination of his status and perhaps In time be granted amnesty on condition that he leave the country. Aside from the punishment to be visltei upon him the military regulations provide for the manner In which he shall be treated while held as a prisoner. These regulations are similar to those of the Oxford conference, and more recently those made at The Hague conference. Some of th-3 main features are that the captured officer must surrender his arms; the confinement must be such as will Insure safety, but without intentional suffering or indignity: a prisoner who escapes may be shot while In flight; paroles may be granted on stated conditions; honorable men, T7hen captured, will abstain from tjivinT inforxnatica cenctrrj their crra tn-. c Z

V Ixx order 1Ü8 and ISO North Pennsylvania St violence is not to be used against prisoners to extort information. While the administration officials are not prepared to say what is to be the future of Aguinaldo, it seems certain that none of them has any idea that any bodily punishment will be inflicted. "It is yet too early to say what will be done with the rebel chieftain," said one of the Cabinet officers to-night. "The matter has not yet received any consideration by the President or Cabinet since his capture." Much will depend on the future course taken by Aguinaldo in determining what his punishment shall be. If, as Indicated by General MacArthur, he issues an address to the Filipinos advising a general surrender and the acceptance of American supremacy in the Philippines, he may be of considerable service to the government in bringing about normal conditions. The administration will be disposed to take advantage of any practical service the chieftain may be to the government, providing his acts show him to be sincere. Or, it is suggested. It may be determined to send him away from Manila, probably to the island of Guam. The suggestion that Aguinaldo be banished seems popular with some government officials, and in this connection they instance the act of Great Britain In sending General Cronje, the Boer leader, to the island of St. Helena. It is nearly a year since anything definite has been heard about Auinaldo. Then the information was not very authentic. Ho was being pursued in northern Luzon by different expeditions under Colonel Hare, under Colonel Howe and Maj. Peyton C. Marsh, the troops under the last-named officer capturing his equipments, and it was supposed the chief insurgent had been wounded. His escape was effected. It was said, by placing him on a raft and covering him with leaver, vegetables and bushes. This raft was floated down the stream and passing the points occupied by the American troops. This stream was the Rio Grande de Cagayan, which flows northward and parallel with the eastern coast of northern Luzon, near which the capture was made. Reports of the death of Aguinaldo have been frequent. The fact that many orders issued in Aguinaldo's name never were actually signed by him encouraged the belief that his name was being ued by his followers even after his death. There was another story that Aguinaldo was once captured by General Young, but was in the garb of and appeared as a common laborer of the district, not understanding a word of English and Spanish, and was released after a few days. A study of the latest atlas of the Philippine archipelago Just issued by the coast survey shows that the province of Isabella is in the extreme northern portion of the Island of Luzon. Palanan is a town on the eastern coast of Isabella province situated on a river somewhat inland which flows Into the Gulf of Palanan. Between the coast and the Rio Grande, which flows northward through northern Luzon, is the Sierra Madras mountains, a coast range which is almost Impassable. Palanan and the coast towns where Aguinaldo has been hiding could only be reached by the sea. KOREA'S ACTION. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) agre-iment Lord Lansdowne said he was not in a position to pass final opinion oa the matter. The government would not criticise in any carping spirit any arrangement regarding Manchuria which was in the nature of a modus vivendi. It was suggested that the versions of the treaty published were simply trial balloons on the part of some official or pure Inventions designed to bring about a misunderstanding. He added: "Nothing would give us greater pleasure than to co-operate with the Russian government in exposing such tn unworthy object. If Russia would only, by communicating the real text of the agreement, enable Great Britain to put an end to th's misconception, we should be prepared to co-operate with her." What militated against any such hopes had been the mystery In which the negotiations have been involved throughout. Count Lamsdorff (Russian minister of foreign affairs) had. however, informed the British ambassador at St. Petersburg that it was the purpose of Russia to arrange a modus vivendi with China with the object of preventing disturbances in the vi cinity of the Russian frontier, and that she had no Intention of seeking that guarantee in any acquisition of territory or In any actual or virtual protectorate over Manchuria. If the documents really fell within the language used by Count Lamsdorff, his Majesty's government would certainly not object to It. Until these uncertainties were removed Great Britain could not do otherwise than adhere to the view that it was not desirable that China, at a time when she was negotiating with the whole of the powers, should simultaneously enter into a private and secret arrangement involving territorial and financial conditions with another power. That was the language the government had vsed to China, and It wa almost precisely the language which had been used by the Gorman government. His Majesty's government would be tenacious In matters of principle. In matters of detail they realized they must not expect to have their wn way. They would use their best endeavors to bring the present negotiations to a close, and terminate a situation which was Inconvenient and fraught with cangr to all concerned In the negotiations.
