60IN0 ALL HE CAN.
Agulneldo Working for the Pacification of the
Islands.
Manila, April 25. Einilo Aguinnl
do hasjbeen removctl from his prison
In'ifalitcanan pnluco and is in much
moro comfortablo qunrters, whero ho
was visited by a press representative.
His wife was with him.
Ho'was rather reluctant to talk for
publication and considered every ques
tion before answering. Ho said ho
wna doing all ho could to assist in tho
pacification of tho Filipinos and ex
pressed Inmsclf as surprised at wnat
the Americans had accomplished.
When he was first captured, ho went
on to say, ho was greatly astonished
to 'find that a majority of tho Filipinos
entertained tho opinion that Ameri
can sovereignty was preferable to in
dependence, but now ho was inclined
to believe timt way himself.
Ho explained that sinco tho disso
lution 01 tho insurgent congress and
tho declaration of guerrilla warfard,
tiio chiefs had operated to all interests
and purposes independently. They
recognized him as commander in
chief, sending him reports occasional
ly and ho Issued some orders, but for
tho last.acTen months communication
hud'heendiflicult and ho had been
almost disconnected.
"I am now urging in the strongest
possible manner," said Aguinuldo,
"that alMnsurgctits should surrender
and swear allegianco to tho United
States."'
Ho expresses tho opinion that
Tinio, Lusban, Malvar and other rep -
rcHcntativo insurgents will surrender'
as soon as they coino to umicrstanu
tho nature 01 -tuo amnesty otiereu
them. Ho said that ho honed that I
when tho work of pacification was
complete and conditions wero settled,
tho prisoners in Guam would bo
released., ,
After referring in grateful terms to
tho courteous treatment accorded him
bv tho .military authorities,
ho dc-
clart'd hia conviction that tho civil
government which would follow pa
cification .would rcalizo tho highest
hopes of the Filipino people.
When rquiestioned retarding the
hope that'he would visit tho United
States, be. replied that he would liko
to ele,n,.mtThndrnle'no plans yet,"
placing himself entirely at tho dis
position of tho United States govern
ment. In concluding tho interview,
ho said :
"Every word in my address to my
countrymen, the Filipinos, enmo from
my heart. I hope tho Americans be-
liovo mo thoroughly sincero in my
efforts to secure pcuco nnd, under
American nuspiccs, to promoto the
wolfuro and prosperity of tho Philip-
pines."

AN INSANE IMPULSE.
B,00dy " of T"Phon
Portland, Maine,
Portland, Mr., April 211,
Electrlcan al
A bloody
tragedy occurred
tho fourth floor of
this afternoon ou
tho building occu
pied by tho Now England Telephouo
Company, Georgo If. Druiniird, a
foreman ulcdriciun who has been
employed by thu company almost 20
years, whilo chatting with his fellow
workmen, whipped out a 38 caliber
revolver and ojwned flro on tho party
around him. Ho was ovidently an
expert marksman, for in a brief space
of timo ho killed 0110 man outright,
fatally wounded another man and
probably fatally wounded two others.
Then ho mudo an attempt to kill a
deputy marshal when that otllcur
tried to pluco him under arrest,
Tho only motive that can bo as
signed for tho crime is insanity, yet
neither before nor after tho truged
did Hruinurd exhibit any marked vi
denco of mental derangement. Tin
men in tho trugedy wero employes of
tho telephouo company. There worn
14 men in tho crew and Brulnurd hud
charge of tho workmen.
HAY ANDPAUNCEFOTE.
The Canal Project Discussed at the State
Department.
Washington, April 20. Lord
Puuncefote, tho British ambas
sador, was in conference with Heo.
retury Hay at thu stuto department
for an hour today. In view of the
approaching absence from Washing
ton of Hi'cretary Hay, tho umb.issudor
wus desirous of disposing of ponding
mutters of business. But tho iin
jxirtant subject of discussion wus thu
canal project.
Secretary Hay has Iteen at work
ever sinco congress adjourned taking
soundings, with a view of learning
just what could bo exacted from tin
senato in caso ho should submit an
other treaty to that body, but up to
this timo ho has not been ublo to

VENEZUELA'S HONOR LOST.
Three potr Wilt Rrfixe tn Respect the
Decisions of Her Courts. '
New, York, April 20. Thrco pow
ers, snys a Washington special to tho
Times, havo already signified to
Venezuela that they will not icspcct
the deolsions of her courts,. and that
certain decrees issued by her executive
me null nnd void. Two other powers
aro about to issuo tho snmo notico tc
her, if thoy hnvo not already issued it,
nnd others aro expected. In short,
Venezuela is fast assuming tho placo
of a paraih among nations.
Tho notice referred to has already
been issued by tho United States,
Spain and Germany. Great Britain
and Holland nre tho two nations
which nro about to issuo it. Tho
United States has gono futrther than
tho other powers, for in the caso of
the asphalt dlsputo she has served
notice on Venezuela that sho reserves
tho right to "review" tho decisions of
that country's courts.
Tho matter which hns aroused tho
different nations to tako this action
is totally unrelated to tho asphalt dis
pute, and relates to old grievance.
Tho most striking thing about it is
there is abslutely no concert of action;
there has not been oven a suggestion
from ono power to another, and yet
tho fivo powers named are taking this
courso spontaneously.
ABSOLUTE INDEPENDENCE.
The One Great With of the People of the
Island of Cuba,
Jacksonville, Fla., April 20. Tho
Cuban constitutional commission,
whioh arrived hero last night, loft to
day for Washington. General Rafael
Portuondo, ono of tho committee, de
fined Cuba's position as fqllows:
"Nincty-nlno per cent of tho Cuban
people desiro absoluto independence.
It is their wish that militnry occupa
tion by tho United States como to an
end at onco. It may bo said that a
small clement of Spaniards, from a
purely commercial motlvo, favor an
nexation, but tho wish for Independ
ence is felt by many Cubans and Span
lards alike. Those Spaniards who
navcr annexation aro not impelled by
any love for tho United States. Thoy
hato Americans, but seem to want
some sort of guaranty as to thoir prop
erty and business interests. Peace
with tho Americans without tho inde
pendence of Cuba is impossible- I
mean moral peace. I do not mean to
say that in tho ovont iudependouco is
not grunted war or revolution would
follow, but there would bo no sympa
thy, no friendliness between tho peo
ples." QUENTIN SALAS SURRENDERS.
