MANILA, April 5. Chief Justice
Arellano, who administered to Aguln
aldo the oath of allegiance to the
United States government, described
today the conditions leading up to
and attending the ceremony, which
was semi-private. Agulnaldo, still de
tained In an apartment of tbe Mala
canan palace, and awaiting orders
from Washington, had expressed him
self as anxious to learn more regard
ing the American system of govern
ment, and had asked Chief Justice
Arellano to enlighten him. The chief
Justice carefully explained the various
measures passed by the Philippine
commission, and showed him what
provisions were made for education
and progress and for municipal and
provincial self-government. Listening
with deep interest. Agulnaldo finally
exclaimed: "I never believed the
Americans would be so fair and lib
eral." ' Before the conversation had
ended, he had agreed to take the oath
of allegiance, and this was imme
diately administered. Senor Arellano
aays:
"Agulnaldo's action will Induce all
the insurgents to surrender, and I
predict that the islands will be com
pletely pacified by June. Agulnaldo
la eager to visit the United States,
but when I questioned him on tbe
subject of holding office, he replied
that he had no desires in that direc
tion and Intended to retire to private
life after a trip to America."
Constancla Probleto, daughter of
the ex-chief of the Kaiipunan society,
who is president of the woman's
peace league, was permitted to have
a long interview with Agulnaldo. She
reports having found him in a quan
dary, professedly desirous of peace,
yet reluctant to abandon the idea of
Filipino independence.
"He seemed unable to make np his
hind regarding the oath of allegiance
to the United States," she sayB, "be
cause he had sworn eternal fealty to
the Filipino flag and had been elected
leader of the revolution. He showed
a disinclination to assist in ending
the Insurrection, though he bowed
somewhat to public sentiment. He
wanted a conference in order to as
certain the wishes of the Filipino
people and suggested that a conven
tion consisting half of insurgents and
half of Pacincos should decide the
matter.
"I told him that 90 per cent of the
population were in favor of peace, and
he responded: 'Even so, my lot is
yet with those upholding the cause
of tbe insurgents. With their con
sent, I would quit, but otherwise, how
can IT By the trickery of the Amer
icans I was captured. Now that 1 am
a prisoner I must consider whst is
best. Liberty is sweet, but those
whom I would desert would hate me.
Hard is my lot. If paroled I should
respect my word, but sometimes I
think exile and Imprisonment would
be preerable." "

Tbe continuance of Lord Salisbury

that he haa sought to offer his resig
nation before his departure for Beau

found in the upper house when par
liament reassembles. Another ver
sion is that nothing will be done for
a fortnight and that Lord Salisbury
may consent to remain in office until
the close of the session if his health
improves In the Riviera. There was
no lack ot gossip in Che smoking
room of the house of commons dur
ing the closing hours, but the only
points on which there was a general
agreement waa that the government
had been on a downward grade since
the king's speech was read, and that
a stronger leader than Mr. Balfour
was needed In the commons.

General Wood said that the United

Justly by the Cubans, and had no de
sire to retain possession of the Island.
He pointed out that the Piatt amend
ment was drawn primarily with the
view to protecting a weak nation
against outsiders, as well as against
internal strife, and would not inter

Meaning of General Plumer's Occu
patlon of Nylstroom.
NEW YORK. April 5. Tbe news
from Lord Kitchener that General
Plumer has occupied Nylstroom, if
taken to mean, the London corre
spondent of the Tribune says, that the
British army in South Africa has at
last resumed the northern advance
toward Pietermaritsberg. Nylstroom
is situated a little way off the rail
way, about 90 miles north ot Pretoria.
It waa held for a few days by General
Baden-Powell in August last year, but
had to be evacuated because the force
then at Lord Robert a disposal was
insufficient at once to provide a per
manent garrison and to secure the
railway line northward from Pretoria.
There can be little doubt that Lord
Kitchener's latest report indicates the
execution of a comprehensive plan
for tbe conquest and pacification of
the Northern Transvaal.
With the occupation of Pietefmar
itsburg the main trunk lines of rail
way would be lost to the Boers, but
there ls a heavy task In the protec
tion of another line of communica
tion, 240 miles long, that would be
added to the burdens of the British
army.
