April L The Statist -will say next Saturday: "The action of Mr. Gage, Secretary of the United States Treasury, in buying bonds was Influenced by his desire to pre vent any acute pressure for money in New Tork at a time -when the German loan was on the point of Issue, and "when a British loan of 60,000,000 had to be financed. There is little- doubt that were money in New Tork to become stringent it would have a very adverse effect upon the British and German money markets,' as it would mean that Instead of further amourits of American money being em ployed In London and Berlin and facili tating the Issue of loans, a portion of that already here to American credit might be called in." Gage Purchases Bonds. WASHINGTON, April 3. The Secretary of the Treasury today purchased at New York for the sinking fund 5672,000 in Gov ernment short-term bonds on substantial ly the same terms as the $2,000,000 pur chased yesterday.

Secretary Root Sends MacArthur In structions Regarding tke Prisoner First Report of Army Frauds Exaggerated. MANILA, April 3. Chief Justice Arel lano, who administered to Aguinaldo the oath of allegiance to the United States Government, described today the condi tions leading up to and attending the ceremony, which was semi-private. Agui naldo, still detained in an apartment of the Malacanan Palace, and awaiting or ders from Washington, had expressed himself ah anxious to learn more regard ing the American system of government and. had asked Chief Justice Arellano to enlighten him. The Chief Justice care fully Explained the various measures passed b the Philippine Commission, and 6howed him what provisions were made for education and prbgress and for mu nicipal and provincial self-government. Listening with deep interest, Aguinaldo finally exclaimed: "I never believed the Americans would be so fair and liberal." Before the conversation had ended, he had agreed to take the oath of allegiance, and this was immediately administered. Senor Arellano says: "Agulnaldo's action will induce all the Insurgents to surrender, and J predict that the Islands will be completely pacified by June. Aguinaldo is eager to visit the United States, but when I questioned him on the subject of holding office, he replied that he had no desires In that direction and intended to retire to private life after a trip to America." It is reported here this evening that President McKinley has invited Aguinal do to visit the United States, and that the ex-Insurgent leader may sail from Ma nila, April 15. General MacArthur, when question regarding the rumor, said he had absolutely nothing to communicate. Constancla Probleto,' daughter of the exi chief of the Kalipunan Society, who is president of the Woman's Peace League, was permitted to have a long Intefview with Aguinaldo. She reports having found him In a quandary, professedly desirous of peace, yet reluctant to abandon the idea of Filipino Independence. "He seemed unable to make up his mind regarding the oath of allegiance to the United States," she says, "because he had sworn eternal fealty- to the Filipino flag and had been elected leader of the revo lution. He showed a disinclination to as sist in ending the insurrection, though he bowed somewhat to public sentiment. He w,anted a conference In rder to ascertain. ttfeWIshtl fh lioWtJ people .and sug gested that a convention consisting half of Insurgents and half of Paclflcos should decide the matter. "I told him that 90 per cent of the pop ulation were In favor of peace, and he responded: 'Even so, my lot Is yet ;wlth those upholding the cause of the insur gents. With their consent, I would quit, but otherwise, how can I? By the trickery of the Americans I was captured. Now that I am a prisoner I must consider what is best. Liberty is sweet, but those whom I would desert would hate me. Hard Is my lot. If parolled I should Re spect my word, but sometimes I think exile and Imprisonment would be pref erable.' " When Aguinaldo arrived here he asked to see Mablnl. On being told that Mablnl was in Guam, he wished to consult with Chief Justice Arellano, General Trias and Salaza, the Secretary of the Interior in the so-called Filipino Government, who surrendered with General Trias. They urged him to reflect upon the ruin al ready wrought and the woe and destruc tion which a continuance of the war would entail and they advised him to ac cept American clemency. Others did the same. Aguinaldo stubbornly held out, but allowed himself by degrees to be per suaded. Senorita Probleto says that Aguinaldo shows a, distrust of the educated Filipinos and Is largely guided by the prejudices of the lower blass. His wife, mother and sister visit him dally. DISPOSITION OF AGUINALDO. Secretary Root Sends Instructions to General MacArthur. WASHINGTON, April 3 After a con sultation with the President, Secretary Root tonight sent a cable message to Gen eral MacArthur, giving him instructions regarding Aguinaldo and the views of .the Administration on some recommendations as to Philippine affaire made by General MacArthur. The contents of the cable gram will not be made public for the present. It was stated at the War TDe partment today that General MacArthur had made no communication regarding Aguinaldo today, and that the attitude of this Government toward the insurgent chief has not changed. He is yet held as a prisoner, and, while he will be treat ed with every kindness, there is no dis position to allow him liberty unless It Is demonstrated that he Intends to comply fully with the amnesty terms and his oath of allegiance. Aguinaldo is more than an ordinary prisoner, and it has not yet been determined whether or not he Is responsible for the violation of the law of war. His capture was made with? a view of securing results, and while Gen eral MacArthur's dispatches indicate that these results will be very satisfactory, they have not yet followed. The cable message sent to Manila was of considerable length, and was quite spe cific as to the policy of the Government. It Is understood that Aguinaldo would like certain assurances or promises, and the Government has informed General MacArthur just what the Government would do. While It is believed -that the Insurrec tion would end before long without the assistance ot Aguinaldo, the Government would be glad to make use of him to has ten the pacification of the islands, if it can be done consistently with Agulnaldo's former attitude, and consistently with what the best " interests of the United States In the islands are believed to de mand. Reports received today show 'that small bands are constantly surrendering In the Philippines, and that general con ditions are most satisfactory to the mlli--tary authorities. MANILA ARMY FRAUDS. General MacArthur Says the Report Was Exaggerated. WASHINGTON, April 3 The fqllowlng cablegram, was received today at 'the War Department from General MacArthur, at Manila: . "Brigadier-General Robert P. Hughes reports the surrender at Banga, North west Panay, 'March 31. of 30 officers. 185 ftLT AK 'JVA.U .,' Bt: dsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssM .

"The commissary frauds Are being in vestigated. They are not of sufficient gravity to cause concern, and are appar ently due to irregularity m sales sayings. The press reports are inexact and mis leading. MACARTHUR." General MacArthur's dispatch, as well as' other Information received concerning the frauds, leaves considerable doubt as to tho exact character of Jhose alleged peculations. General IdacAthur speaks of "sales." These sales consist pf sav ings by the soldiers on the regular ra tions Issued, which they aro allowed to dispose of for their own benefit. Gener ally the savings are made a company matter, and are disposed of in bulk to the highest bidder. They may bq returned to the Commissary Department, and bought in by the Government at cost price, but there Is no reason why they should pot be sold elsewhere. If the managers ot the company fund should so desire. As Army rations do not pay the usual duty lm I- were of considerable amount Sales from commissary stores, not Including the reg ular Tatlbns, are made to officers and men, but only upon a certificate or decla ration that-they are for the personal use of the purchaser.' It is said that no great amount of such sales could be used by any person or persons without detec tion. Officers or men purchasing such stores and reselling them would be guilty of violating the Army regulations and would he subject to court-martial. As to the other savings, they are upon the regular rations Issued to each company. They might be In flour, meat, sugar, or any number of staple articles Included In the ration. The money procured. for the sale of such savings Is usually devoted to the purchase of such supplies as are not Included In the ratiftn, and many del icacies and varieties of food are thus se cured by the men in garrison or camp. General MacArthur cables that the num ber of sick in the Philippines Is 2S33 In hospital, and 908 In quarters, the percent age being 6.89. Major-General Young has telegraphed the War Department that he will come to Washington before assuming command ot the Department pf California. Secre tary Root desires to consult with General Young regarding conditions In the Philip pines, and also upon his future duties at San Francisco. Mornl Effect of the Capture. CHICAGO, April 3. General Wesley Merrlt, who recently returned to Chicago after a western trip with the Commer cial Club excursion party, said in regard to the. capture of Aguinaldo: "Of course there ran be no doubt it will prove effective In lessening the opposi tion to the ''American forces, still he is only one man and never has been the great dominating personality among the Insurgents. The fact of the case is that while he is undeniably exceedingly clev er, he has been In reality the Instrument of a lot of shrewd leaders. The moral effect of his capture will be good, but the most hopeful feature of the situation is an apparent realization on the part of the leaders In general that continued opposi tion to our forces Is useless." No Doubt of the Tenacity. PARIS, April 4. "The recent successes of the Americans In the Philippines," says Figaro this morning, "albear to have discouraged the resistance of the Fili pinos, and will probably lead to a real pacification, but the organization of the country 'will be a difficult and laborious task. President -McKinley has frequently expressed a desire to establish local gov ernment, but will not the population be incapable of appreciating autonomy, es pecially in conformity with the views of Washington? Surprises are In store, al though It is not to be doubted that the tenacious conquerors will eventually solve the problem." May Lend to a General Surrender. NEW YORK, April 3 A special o the Herald from Washington says: Important proposals relative to the sur render of all the insurgents In the Phil ippines have been made by Aguinaldo, through General MacArthur, to .the Unit ed States. The proposals were brought before the Cabinet meeting, and- at Its conclusion Instructions in reply to them were sent by Secretary Root. The Presi dent will not bargain with Aguinaldo, but If the prisoner will use his influence, the United States will welcome his aid, and will consider his conduct when determin ing the future of tLc prisoner. Smallpox at the Presidio. SAN FRANCISCO, April 3, Owing to the discovery of a- case of smallpox among the men of the Eleventh InfaTitry, the regiment will not sail for Manila on the transport Kllpatrick, on April 5, as' had been planned.

The Chinese Govern ment has formally notified Russia that Chlna owing to the attitude of the pow ers, Is not able to sign the Manchurian convention. "It is China's desire," says the formal notification, "to keep on friendly terms with all nations. At present she is going through a period, which Is the most peril ous In the emp'lre's history, and It Is necessary that she should have the nation friendly, that she should alienate the sympathies of all others." Li Hung Chang says this letter settles the matter definitely, and that Russia was Informally notified to the same effect March 29. Prince Chlng says that every Chinaman except L.I Hung Chang was against signing the convention. CAUSED INTEREST IN WASHINGTON To the Russian Ambassador the News Came as a Surprise. WASHINGTON, -April 3 Great Interest was manifested In official and diplomatic circles tonight over the Associated Press report that the Chinese had determined not to sign the Manchurian agreement. No official Information has reached this Government or the principal foreign em bassies. To the Russian Ambassador the news came as a great surprise, as he had hoped for a successful conclusion of the convention. Russia, he said, had Informed the Chinese Government that she did not mean to take Manchuria, and that her de sire was to make such arrangements as would avoid the repetition In the future of the Boxer troubles of last Summer. The Ambassador declined, In the absence of official advices, to Indicate what prob ably would be the future course of his government. Russia, In a measure, controls the situ ation In Manchuria, as she has possession of the country and the great mass of her soldiers now In Asia are within that territory. China having refused the terms specified by Russia, the Russians assert she may take hen own good time and 're tire from the country whenever she is in clined to do so She has proclaimed to the world that her Intentions regarding Manchuria are entirely honorahle, that the proposed agreement was purely tem porary and not Intended to Impair the sovereignty of Chlna-or to Injure the In terests of the other powers." Such be ing the case, it was suggested by a diplo mat tonight that the powers must have confidence In the honesty of the Russians. The suggestion is made also that per haps the Russians may attempt to ob tain a further modification of the pro posed agreement with China, or only seek to obtain from the powers opposed to It in its present form the points of objection held by them, with a view to the prep aration of a further document that will overcome many of these objections and assure without any equivocation whatso ever the absolute Integrity of the Chinese Empire and render It free from any en tanglement that may menace It as the result of such agreement. The United States was firm In the opinion that it was inexpedient-for the Chinese Govern ment to enter into a treaty with any of the powers interested in the present status of the Chinese situation, pending the general settlement of the matters at Issue, and this position, backed "by the views of other governments, it Is felt here has neen an Important factor with the im perial government in determining its at titude toward the Russian Government. A Favorable Sign. LONDON, April A. In a dispatch to the Times from Pekln, dated Tuesday, Dr. Morrison says: "A week has elapsed, but Russia has done nothing to carry her threats into execution. LI Hung Chang continues vainly to Implore the court to modify its decision not to sign the Manchurian con vention, but, In view of the attitude of the country. It is hardly possible tRat China would sign unless Russia materially abates her demands. Tnls remarkable stand Is a hopeful sign of vitality, and should affect favorably the whole course of the negotiations, if the powers seize the opportunity to quicken the pace." Not Bclleied at Berlin. BERLIN, April 3. The German Foreign Office has no Information as to whether the Manchurian convention, has been signed or 'rejected, but the opinion pre vails that' it. has not yet been signed. s jjTTi iMMx i I r r iilflil-.
