Country linn Gone to the IIottitoitm llerauae Trickery Met Trickery An ludIlorIul AniooIu' Cuns." Springfield He-publican. The United States of America., after two years of war and pursuit, has captured Emllio Agulnaldo, the accepted leader of the aspirations for Independence of tho Filipino people. This all the world knows. It has read, too, of the method of the capture. Wo have triumphed through. tnu treachery of one designated by the American cll-patches as a "rebel oHlcer." Agulnaldo's trusted agent, who betrayed hi3 chief like a Judas. When General Funston went to get what we had paid for, the dispatches naively say that "treachery was considered pos-lble, but every precaution was taken." That is, we feared that the traitor io his cause and his leader would not stay bought to ours. It was a natural Inference, lie did, however, and the laborer proved worthy of his hire. To this result representatives of tho mighty republic of the West had long been contriving. Gold la the touchstone of modern achievement; great in peace, great In war, and first la the hearts of degenerates the world over. Not long ago this passage appeared in the letter of a well-Informed Washington correspondent: "While Major General MacArthur is meting out heavy sentences to Filipinos caught gathering information within the American ranks, the United States government is employing spies to obtain information relative to thu ptans of the Insurgent." Not only so, but open recognition of this policy appeared in the last army appropriation bill, when $.:.400.uou waa authorized lor Incidental expenses, mention being made of "hire of laborers in the quartermaster's department, including the hiring of interpreters, spie-J vi guide tor the army." The correspondent then commented and explained: "Tnls provision ha created mucii comment among the military attaches of foreign governments in Washington. They admit the universal practice of Uilng spies, but they pay it la nut customary abroad to admit tho lact as openly us dues the United State.. The War Department declines to give any facts concerning the use or results of th.i employment of spies, but it Is admitted that General MacArthur has a sect et service which has been invaluable to the military government in the Philippines." Truly, "invaluable," for here was tne power that uncovered the hiding place of Agulnaldo and delivered him cuptie to thoe wiio uad so long sought him. DRKAUINUSS LONG DRAWN OUT. The nation to which so signal and brilliant a triumph has come can now rejoice ir. it. The goal of over two lony. weary and wasting years, marked by desolation and blood so drearily that none linger to contemplate, has been reached. We have got the little brown leader at last, who has been so filled with the passion of liberty us to cause us trouble beyenu estimate in money and the distress of nun, womea and children. He was found In the end at what he coneeived to be his" post of duty, faithful to the c.ui !; championed, with his face set aglnst ilnc. who had betrayed It fool ,r patriot, a.s yoj please. Men are dürcring nou; that, lie at least did not betray tho.-o who tri:ttd him. Let time strike vhe balance, as it surely will. Far down in our American heurts. men and brethren, are we so very proud of this triumph? If we are, then ht the political decks be cleared for the ticket of Funston and Kootevelt in IUI. that national mcloliranm may have Its consistent course and denouement. Thus the course of empire would be destined, I5ut meanwhile It were not unwise to broaden the perspective as we virw the exploit. Imagine. If you please, that conditions were uch that lln&land had, through the rank treat htry of those who stund closp to Faul Krur. accomplished the capture of the old lioer President. Would that stained result make him a prize to bt coveted in tl; .Vts of the nations? Powerful has ever been the preaching of mm estecine. to be martyrs. It is not dllt.c uil to lrr.ah:e what Finland a embarrassment would .. it; such a it nation. Or sujp'j?- tlj.it we hr,d b - n dealing with u flist-clais povor in tht-.M iv.cr operation i;1 ihv i'hilli-pii... Ail Is i.tir ni War, goen the hiyinv., Mid yet, while we appropriate a rt,up; 04 million of dollars lr the pay of spies, no war is recognized in Washington.

Huch is the fcpe and the expectation, o,ulciily and ar

dently expressed at the peat of power. After war. devastation and bribery, peace and Its blessings are expected. No one can deny that dark has been the way to this hour. And what now? If Great IJrltaln held Kruger, she would straightway send him to St. Helena to keep company with the IJoer prisoners there. So we shall no doubt. In the end, dispatch Agulnaldo to distant Gu-ttn. alter the rejclclng over his capture has died down nnd the imperial authorities of the United States have duly deliberated and derided, with perhaps some preliminary experiment In the way of trying to win him to aid the Americans. TUP: MALAY WASHINGTON. It Is often said when a historic character dies, around whose personality the tempests of controversy have 4raged, that the time has not arrived for a final and Judicial estimato of his career. Lmlllo Agulnaldo is not dead, but his capture by the American troops, through the treachery of one of his own men, probably brings his active career to a do:o. It is extremely doubtful that he will ever regain his freedom. The greatest of Malays evidently hay run his course. That In this hour of the conquorer'H triumph ho will be generally given his due, on this ride of the Pacific, as a man or a leader of men. Is not to be expected. On the one hand, there Is the Hush of bitter resentment against the leader who for over two years has conducted war against the richest and most powerful Nation on earth. On the other, there Is the honest sympathy for Agulnaldo which Is baed on the conviction of the general ilghtrousness and purity of his struggle for the Independence of his country against n conquering nnd alien race from acro.M the seas. Denunciation from the one side and eulogy from the other may be equally extreme. The perfect mean of truth. 11 ever attainable, must be left to the arbitration of times less impassioned than these. Whatever the ultimate verdict on thin man may be, our own view Is that Agulnaldo is an extraordinary character, who was accepted by his people as their champion, nnd who fought a cause that. In other times und under other conditions, has made its leaders immortal as the heroes of strugglinghumanity. Fmillo Agulnaldo is not a rebel, but a patriot: he is not a savage, but a civilized man. He Is now thirty-two years of an, a pure-bred native of tlv Philippines and of true Malay blood. Thstory that he is a Chinese half-breed ha3 no basis in fact, nor is it true that his father was a captain In the Spanish army. hen the insurrection against Spain broke out in ISO; the twenty-seven-ycar-old Agulnaldo quickly became Its foremost spirit. When it is considered how destitute the natives were in military training and the material of war, their achievement in prolonging the contest for --bout a year and a half, and then extorting from Span-ia-ds the treaty of Uiak-na-bato, which promised many radical reforms in government and the religious life of the islands, besides covenanting to pay a large sum of money to the Insurgent general when all is considered, it will have to be conceded that Agulnaldo achieve! a remarkable success. The money which was promised him, and which in part was paid over by Spain, has been described by Aguinaldo's enemies as a "bribe." but In reality It was a war Indemnity which he forced Spain to pay. We do not propose to review the history of the past three years In the Philippines, although those are the three most important years in Emtio Aguinaldo's life. Having to do with his wonderful rally of the Filipinos against Spain after Dewey's naval victory; his actual conquest from the Spanish army of practically the entire Philippine archipelago outside of Manila; his government of the islands for many months before and after the fall of Manila, when he kept order and protected life and property; and finally his leadership in the forlorn war for independence against all the might of the United States these points of the history are too familiar to require rehearsal. The war with tne United States began two years ago last February, and the fact that so long u time lias already been spent in coping with the native resistance, which has been steadily directed down to the hour of his capture bv this man with irreconclliable zeal, this 'alone Is an evidence of Aguinaldo's Inherent capacity for leadership In great undertakings among his own people. Not so Intellectual and subtle as Mablna, nor so highly educated as SIxto Lopez. Agulnaldo revealed n power of leadership and a gift for organization which stamp him as the greatest man yet produced by the Malav race nnd the greatest Oriental of the time outside of Japan nnd China. mm ""MSBvaaaaBOTaaBM MUTKTEEH SHOT.

Special to th Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. April 2. At the Cabinet meeting to-day one of the chief subjects discussed was the distribution of army appointments equitably among the various States of the Union. Secretary Root said after the meeting .that he had received about 11. (XiC applications from men of every section and all walks In life seeking commissions in the army. "Of course a vast majority of these men." said the secretary, "have had varying military service and subsequent training in the army of the United States since the declaration of war against Spain. I am now engaged in looking up the military records of those who have been recommended by their senators and representatives in Congress to ascertain so far as may be possible their lltncss for. the commission they seek. It Is a tremendous task, but I am taking the names in the order of the States to which they are accredited and hope that I may be able to clear up and lay before the President the record of almost every man who is an applicant for a commission in the United States army." "What Is the status of the applications illed by Senators Fairbanks nnd Revcrldge, of Indiana, and the members of the House representing that State?" the secretary was asked. "Well," replied Secretary Root, "we are, as I have said, taking up those cases in alphabetical order as to Statts so far as may be possible. As to Indiana, Senator Fairbanks and I had a talk regarding those appointments yesterday and ho said ho would probably have" a few additional names to suggest and recommend when he should arrive, home the latter part of the week. I do not think any commissions will be issued to Indianlans until Senator Fairbanks is again heard from." xxx The bond of Andrew G. Ilewark as postmaster at Medaryvllle, Vulaskl county, and that of Fred H. Asperger, postmaster at Riley, Vigo county, were approved today and their commissions issued. XXX William Dudley Foulke is here. He said to-night he had not yet seen the President, but would see him to-morrow or the day after. As chairman of the investigating committee of the Civil-service Reform Association he would discuss civil matters generally with the President, and of course would touch on the appointment of former Congressman Rodenburg as a civil service commissioner. He would not make that a special subject of discussion. He said he knew nothing of a protest Tiled or to be filed by the association against Rodenburg's appointment. Mr. Foulke said he would be here for two or three weeks. . - AW AUING 3IH. LOOMIS. No Action Vet Tnkn In Heg;nrl to Uic Vrnexnelmi Situation. WASHINGTON, April 2. The Cabinet meeting to-day was devoid of Important discussion. The Venezuelan situation was not considered. The administration will await the arrival of Minister Loomls before deciding on further action. PORT OF SPAIN, Island of Trinidad, April 2. The United States auxiliary cruiser Scorpion has been ordered to convey Francis R. Loomis, the United States minister at Caracas, Venezuela, to San Juan de Porto Rico, where he will embark on a steamer for New York. The Scorpion leaves Laguayra April 7 at 1 o'clock. An attache of the Foreign Office at Caracas has divulged the fact that after the Inspired press of Venezuela for two month had abused the United States navy. President McKinley and Mr. Loomls, the. Venevuelan government formally asked for the recall of Mr. Loomls for no valid reason. He had, however, antagonized certain high officials. But the government at Washington has supported Mr.' loomls and he is going to Washington, not because he is recalled, but on leave of absence to consult with Secretary Hay. President Castro Is possibly hostile to Mr. Loomls because the latter has protested strongly against the nonpayment of large sums due to Americans after the President has solemnly promised to pay the Americans before any other foreign claims. Liut Mr. Loomls discovered that the President was paying German claims secretly, thus violating his promise and evading the terms of the agreement which called for the payment of the American claims. Allen Mny Not Iteturn to Porto Illco. WASHINGTON, April 2.-Whlle Governor Allen, of Porto Rico, who sailed yesterday trom San Juan on the Mayflower, for Hampton Roads, baa not formally submitted his resignation, so far as can bo learned, hl3 friends here would not be surprised if he decided not to return to Porto Rico. Governor Allen went to Porto Rico in May last at the personal request of the President to set up the new civil government there and get it into good working order, with the distinct understanding that he was not to be asked to remain after this was (lone. The President and Secretary Hay are full of praise for the manner in which Governor Allen has executed his task. It Is expected here that if Governor Allen declines to continue in ollice, Secretary Hunt, late of Montana, will succeed to the place. As to Governor Allen's future, his name Is connected In official go?sip with one of tho foreign mlnlsteries though as there are no present vacancies he might be. obliged to wait for a time.

April 2.-In accordance with Secretary Gage's announcement that he would buy from time to time the short bonds at an Investment rate realizable to the Investor who buys the new 2 per cents., should the market price for the new twos remain on the present basis, the Treasury Department was to-day tendered .'.Ot'O.U'ö government short bonds on practically the same basis as the twos returned at the current market quotations of about l'yj'iNEW YORK.

Grlscon. secretary and charge of the United States legation at Constantinople, who Is now on his way home, has earned the credit of effecting a linal and satisfactory settlement of the American missionary clalm3 a gain t Turkey that have taxed the abllities of no loss than three of the ablest ministers ever sent by the United States

to Constantinople. It appears that Mr. Oriscom has linally succeeded In arranqiijg with the Turkish government the principles on which these long standing claims shall be settled, and the pledges of th i Turkish government is in such binding form that it is not doubted that payment will toon be made.

Ruling: as to Ducket Shop. WASHINGTON, April 2.-CommissI mer of Internal Revenue Yorkes has rend?red a decision In regard to so-called bucket shops In which he holds that every person engaged in the transaction described In the third subdivision of Section 8, act of March 2, is imperatively required by the statute to file with the collector the "notice in writing under oath." prescribed by law. Where the broker takes orders from his customers with the printed or written statement "that the actual delivery of the stock Is contemplated ami understood." this fact will not of itself be accepted as conclusive on this point. If all the transactions are closed according to quotations of prices without being carried to any exchange the business is that contemplated by this statute, and the additional special tax must be paid therefor, notwithstanding the printed or written statement of an understanding as to actual delivery. Appointments ly the President. WASHINGTON, April 2.-Tho President has made the following appointments: Albert H. Eber, to be assistant surgeon of volunteers, with rank of captain; William 11.

Knox, of Pittsburg, who was tendered the position of attorney general la3t Thursday by the President, has not et responded definitely to the Invitation to enter the Cabinet. Little doubt, however, is entertained concerning Mr. Knox's ultimate acceptance of tiro place which has been offered to him. Meantime Solicitor General John K. Richards Is the acting attorney general. Dr. Cyruj Northrop Jluy Decline. CHICAGO, April 2. Dr. Cyrus Northrop, president of the University of Minnesota, who was named recently by President McKinley as one of t he United States commissioners to the international conference of American statts to be held In the City of Mexico the coming fall, stated to-day that he probably would be forced to decline the appointment. "1 already have accepted an engagement to speak at the bicentennial state celebration in October," he said, "and as the proposed conference Is to be held about that time it will be impossible for me to attend it. I never sought the appointment." Illue May Succeed Evans. TOPKKA, Kan., April 2. It is believed among Republicans hero that Col. R. W. Rlue, ex-congrcssman-at-large, will be appointed commissioner of pensions In place of H. Clay Evans. Congressman Curtis, who returned yesterday from Washington, said to-day that the choice was between Colonel Rluo and Stato Senator Carpenter.

ALLIED WITH RUSSIA

LI HUNG CHANG COMMITTED TO THE MA.NCillHIAN Git All. Having Oiled the Wheels for the Rear's Progress to the Convention, He Leave for Shanghai. JAPAN IS READY TO FIGHT OFFICIAL INDICATION OF HER INTENTION TOWARD AOAM-ZAD. RiiHNlnn Not? to Japan Secret Treaty Probably Will He Sinned Morul Support" for China. LONDON, April 3.-Dr. Morrison, wiring to the Times from Peking on March 23, describes an Interview with LI Hung Chang In which the famous Chinese minister admlttetl that his policy was based upon a conviction that Russia was the only power which China need fear. "He acknowledged tho existence of various secret Russo-Chi-nese agre-ements," says Dr. Morrison, "anel declared himself convinceei that China must and would ultimately sign the Manchurian convention. He asserteel that China was willing to disclose the terms of all her agreements with Russia, but that the latter insisted on keeping them secret, lie admitted that he had no hope that the present Manchurian agreement would satisfy Russia, but he said he thought it would give China a respite of ten or twenty years while Russia was gorging her prey, during which time the Chinese might strengthen themselves for the future. "I am satisfied that if Li Hung Chang Is so fully committed to the policy of buying off Russia at any price that he is almost inclined to resent the possibility of intervention by other powers. "The ministers of. all the powers except Russia have been Instructed to present forthwith to the Chinese plenipotentiaries the punishment list which was agreed upon before Russia seceded on this point. The list is so moderate that there is little doubt the Chinese will comply." "The Chinese expect, after all, that the Manchurian convention will be ratllleel in the course of the next live days," says the Tien-Tsin correspondent of the Standard, wiring Monday. "The Southern viceroys nnd Governors are incensed, and threaten rebellion if the court yields. The Northern Chinese are more Ignorant than indifferent. "The Tartar general at Feng-Tien, Manchuria, has isMed a proclamation assuring the people that the Russian occupation is only temporary. The Chinese troops at Feng-Tien are wearing Russian badges, and tho town is occupied by a strong Russian force." The Morning Post publishes the following dispatch from Pao-Tlng-Fu, dated March 21: "Chinese officials here profess to have received information from Li Hung Chang that the Manchurian convention has been signed." LI Hans ClintiK Leaven Peking:. TIEN-TSIN, April 2. Li Hung Chang, with his body guard, is returning to Shanghai. He Is indisposed. Steamers are detained at his disposal, and he is expected to arrive here from Peking on Thursday. JAPAN HEADY TO FIGHT And SeemliiKly Willing; to Take Up the Russian Gne of Rattle. LONDON. April 2. "Russia's reply to Japan's protest against the Manchurian convention." says the Yokohama correspondent of the Dally Mall, "is regarded as unsatisfactory, and further vigorous representations will follow. Prince Konoyo Atsumaro, president of the House of Peers, in the course of an inflammatory speech, openly discussed the probable results of a war between Japan and Russia, and said that Japan could count upon the friendly neutrality of Great Britain and Germany. He declared that the United States would not interfere, and that France would only cause uneasiness by the employment of her Annamese forces and by a naval demonstration off Formosa. "This, he predicted, would be the limit of French action, and therefore Japan's vastly superior army would be enabled, without great dirncuwy, to drive Russia out of Manchuria." An Associated Press dispatch from Yokohama says: "Leading Japanese newspapers assert that the Russian government has replied to Japan's protest against the Manchurian convention to the effect that Russia does not wish to enter upon a discussion with a third power relative to her negotiations with China; that the proposed agreement is purely temporary and not intended to impair the sovereignty of China or injure Interests of other powers; that the contents of the agreement, immediately upon Its conclusion, will be communicated to the other powers, who will undoubtedly find them acceptable; and, linally, that if any of the provisions are not acceptable to Japan Russia, is prepared to discuss the matter in a friendly spirit." IluMNla Expect a Signature. ST. PETERSBURG, Apri' 2. The superior councillor of the Chinese legation, Chu Wc Jtc, is continuing the negotiations, as charge d'affaires, regarding tho Manchurian agreement. The illness of the Chinese minister, Yang Yu, is now admitted to ha due to apoplexy. Unofficial observers scarcely understand how a doubt can possibly be entertained abroad that China will ultimately accept the Russian conditions after It is apparent that no power is willing to forcibly support China. For, it is urged, while Russia undoubtedly prefers to carry through her plans as made, her diplomatic position would suffer as little as her military position from China's refusal to accept what Russia regards as moderate conditions of withdrawal. Germans Detent a "Holiner" Hand. TIEN-TSIN, April 2. A company of Germans defeated 1,00 Chinese robbers on March 21 seven miles north of Tien-Tsin, killing eleven and wounding fifty. It is rumored that a dozen foreigners were cooperating with the robbers. The Germans captured thirty carts and a gun. No Real Help for China. HEREIN, April 2. Discussing the refusal of China to sign the Manchuria convention, the Lokal Anzeiger says: "China cannot expect more than the moral support of tho European powers." Note from the Far East. The Commercial Cable Company has Issued th following notice: "The Siberian land lines are Interrupted. Messages for Japan via the northern route can only be accepted at sender's risk. The eastern route Is open at increased rate." The Peking correspondent of the Cologne Gazette says China has agreed to the proposal of the powers to make the Island of Kwang-Su, near Amoy, an International settlement modeled after Shanghai. Regarding the destruction of the Chinese forts the foreign generals at Peking are practically apreed that those at Taku Shan-Hal-Kuan and Tlen-Tsin must at least be rendered useless, while the north fort at the entrance of the River Taku must be destroyed entirely en account ot the fact that ever since it was built It has caused lower wate-r on the bar, having diverted the cour.e of the stream. Chinese officials conduct the entire government of the city of I'ao-Tlng-Fu, tho French and German commission acting in an entirely advisory capacity and never interfering except in cases where flagrant Injustice has apparently been tlone. when they act as a sort of court of appeals. They have frequently been called upon owing to

the exaction of extortion. French officers say that if it is customary in ordinary times to subject the native converts to extortion even when they are palpably in the wrong China has a grievance that would not be tolerated in any other country. MAY VISIT WASHINGTON.
