CAPTURE OF AGU1NALD0
RErORT OP GENERAL funston
MAJ3ErUBLIC.
Etory of the Forged Letters and De
tails of the Taking of the
Filipino Chieftain.
WASHINGTON, July 12,-The War De
partment today made public Brigadier
General Funstcn's report of the capture
of Agulnaldo May 2. This report presents
In detail all the facts relating to the cap
ture of Agulnaldo, which were made pub
lic at that time. General Funston shows
that his entire plan of the expedition was
eubmltted to the Commanding General of
the Department of Northern Luzon and
then was sent to General MacArthur, by
whom It was approved. General Funston
goes Into details concerning the captured
correspondence of Agulnaldo and the use
he made of Ceclllo Cegismundo, who had
presented himself to lieutenant J. D.
Taylor, of the Twenty-fourth Infantry,
"with letters of Agulnaldo he was to de
liver to various Insurgent chiefs. Gen
eral Funston gives the following account
of the forged letters which were used to
deceive Agulnaldo:
"On October 24, 1300, while scouting In
the vicinity of Gapan, Nueva Eclja, I
had surprised the Insurgent Chief Lacuna
in his camp and had captured, among
other things, some writing paper which
bore his headquarters seal. On this paper
two letters were written to Agulnaldo
over the carefully forged signature of
Lacuna. One of these letters was dated
February 24, 1901, at Bulac, a place In the
mountains. In it Lacuna acknowledged
the receipt of Agulnaldo's letters of Jan
uary 13 and 14, ana thanked him for the
confirmation of his (Lacuna's) appoint
ment as Brigadier-General, made some
time previously by Alejandrlno. It will
be remembered that the letters of Aguln.
f aldo referred to had fallen Into our hands.
The letter indulged in the usual rhetoric
employed by the insurgent chiefs In their
correspondence and gave a glowing ac
count of the progress of the campaign
from the standpoint of Lacuna.
"Another letter, supposedly from the
same place, but dated February 28, was
prepared, stating that the writer had just
received a communication from Baldermo
Agulnaldo ordering him to send one of his
best companies, under a reliable chief, to
Emello Agulnaldd In Isabella. In accord
ance with these Orders he was sending
this rorce under Lieutenant-Colonel
Hllario Placldo. The latter, he stated,
had been captured by the Americana a
year ago and after his release he had
lived In Jaen, but recently had taken to
the field again when ordered to do so by
Lacuna. This was Included In the letter
for fear that Agulnaldo might have heard
that Placldo had been captured by the
Americans and had taken the oath of
allegiance. The letter also stated that
Agulnaldo's courier, Ceclllo Cegismundo,
was with Lacuna and would accompany
the column.
"These two letters were dictated by
me, but were written by Segovia. We
were In possession of a number of
camples of Lacuna's signature and had
previously succeeded In executing a very
neat forgery of his autograph at the end
of each one of the two sheets."
Of the actual capture, General Funston
6ays:
"The Macabebes started lib into the
town and we heard a few shots fired. We
crossed the river and runhlng up on the
town found that the Macabebes Were
somewhat demoralized and firing wildly
in every direction. They were got under
control with some difficulty. Agulnaldo's
guard of about 50 armed and neatly Uni
formed men had been drawn up to re
rceTve the reinforcements, and being fired
into, brdke and rah, a few of them re
turning the fire as they retreated. Aguln
aldo, with his officers, had awaited In. his
quarters. Placldo and SegdVia entered
the house to report their arrival, and
after a short conversation Segovia
stepped oUtsldfi the house and brdered the
Macabebes, who had just come up, to
open fire on the insurgents, who were
standing in line at a distance of about
60 yards. The Macabebes were so excited
and nervous that their fire was very In
effective. But two of the insurgents were
killed, the remainder taking to flight,
throwing down 18 rifles and a thousand
rounds of ammunition.
"As soon as Segovia had given the order
he ran back into the house and opened
nre on the officers surrounding Agulnaldo.
He wounded Villa and Hambra. The lat.
ter Jumped out of the house into the
rlVer and was not seen again. Villa, on
being wounded, surrendered, as did also
Santiago Barcelona, Agulnaldo's treas
urer. The five remaining officers escaped
from the house and swam the river.
Placldo seized Agulnaldo and told him
that he was a prisoner of the Americans.
At this juncture, the Americans arrived
6n the scene and gave their attention to
getting the Macabebes under Control and
protecting the prisoners from them. One
Macbebe w as slightly woUnded by a gun
shot In the forehead.".
In conclusion, General Funston deals
out praise generously to all who had
shared in the expedition, mentioning
Captain Hazzard, Captain NeWtOn. Lieu
tenant Hazzard and Lieutenant Mitchell,
while especially praising Lieutenant Tay
lor f&r the discretion he showed after ob
taining Agulnaldo's letters. He also
epcaks lh high praise of Cdmmande'r
Barry, of the VlcksbUrg, and the assist
ance the Navy rendered him.
ALL WAS XOT HARMONIOUS.
Correspondence Between Generals
Otis and McArthur.
NEW YORK, July i2. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The unabridged report of General Mac
Arthur covering his field operations-before
he relieved General Otis as GoVerrfor
General of the Philippines May 5, last
year, which has just been published In
volume VII Of Lleutenant-General Miles'
annual report, presents some interesting
telegraphic correspondence. The first of
these messages is as1 follows!
"United States Military Telegraph, Bay
ambang, November 23, 1S99, 9:15 A. M. To
General Schwart, Chief of Staff, Manila:
The so-called Filipino Republic is de
stroyed. The Congress has dissolved.
The President of ihJ so-called republic
is a fugitive, as are also all of his cabi
net officers, except one in our hands.
The executive department Is therefore
entirely broken up. The Generals are
separated, without any power of confer
ence or concentrated action. The au
thority under which anarmy was kept
in the field no longer exists. The army
ltseir as an organization has disappeared.
As a consequence of all these facts,
which are How of historic record, the men
"Who profess to lead small bodies for the
purpose of guerrilla warfare mUst act
without even the shadow of authority
from a de facto government, and their
operations from this time on will be the
result of Individual whims. In other
words, men Who now try to Continue the
strife by Individual action become simply
leaders of banditti. In this view, how
would It do to issue a proclamation at an
early date offering complete amnesty to
H.U who surrender within a stated time,
with a payment of 30 pesos to every sol
dier who gives up d. rifle, and declaring
with emphasis that after the date fixed
the killing of American soldiers will be
regarded as murder, and that all persons
concerned therein would be regarded as
murderers and treated accbrdlngly? Such
a proclamation would have the effect of
forcing the Generals to consider the ex
pediency of continuing a hopeless strug
gle which would commit them Irrevoca
bly to death or to lifelong expatriation,
and, I think, would have a powerful In
fluence at a time when It is apparent
that most, if not all, of the leaders are
more or less doubtful of what course to
pursue. This Is a suggestion for your per
sonal consideration to be presented to
the Department Csmmander at your dis
cretion. MacARTHUR."
To this General Otis ordered the follow
ing reply sent:
"United States Military Telegraph,
palace, Manila, P. $., December 9, 1899,
11:35 A. M.-to General MacArthur:
Your telegram annoUnplng your policy
received. Your recommendations concern
ing proclamation cannot be carried .out;
legal difficulties of an international char
acter, apparently not understood by you,
forbid. No further advice on this sub
ject desired by the commandlnff General.
"SCHWAN, Chief of Staff."
June 21, 1900, General MacArthur, who
had succeeded -General Otis by direction
of President McKlnlcy, issued his
amnesty proclamation to the Filipinos.
Another Instance of an interesting cor
respondence between the two Generals is
shown in a telegram from General Mac
Arthur reporting the capture of a part
of the Dagupan railway. It was done so
quickly that the Filipinos did not have
time to destroy the property, and General
MacArthur said that this was due to the
action of Captains Harry A. Hegeman
and Carl L. Stone, of the Thirty-sixth
Regiment of Infantry, who took two loco
motives and acted as engineers. He rec
ommended the two officers for brevet pro
motion. General Otis, In replying, called
General MacArthur's attention to the law
to the effect that In order to be entitled
to a brevet the officers' act must have
been "in the presence of the enemy," or,
as the War Department interpreted it,
"within the range of the enemy's guns."
General MacArthur in reply said:
"I would remark that the position of the
War Department amounts to a declara
tion that the more decisive the victory
the less chance of recognition of merito
rious service. The action was not only in
the presence of the enemy, but by all
methods of fair Construction was Within
the range of the enemy's guns. Rather
than have these highly meritorious offi
cers humiliated by the publication of this
correspondence, I respectfully request that
the application be withdrawn."
Without making any comment, General
Otis compiled with General MacArthur's
request and ordered that the application
be withdrawn
Otis Says There Was No Friction.
CHICAGO, July 12. When asked con
cerning the alleged friction between him
self and General MacArthur, General Otis
said today:
"There was no friction between General
MacArthur and myself when I was in
command in the Philippines. General
MacArthur was a subordinate officer, and
how could there be any friction between
h. subordinate officer and his superior t
"General MacArthur once recommended
that I Issue a proclamation of amnesty
to all who surrendered and a declaration
that any one who should kill an Amer
ican soldier thereafter would be consid
ered a. murderer. I declined to act en
that recommendation, but do hot now re
member my exact words. I might have
told him that nb further advice- on this
subject was deelred by the commanding
General. That Is a thing that is frequent
ly necessary for ja commanding officer to
do. The time WaB hot ripe for the Issuing
of such a proclamation. The facts Which
General MacArthur advanced In support
of his recommendation had already be
come mattera of consideration with me.
At that time we Controlled only a dmall
part of the islands and had no adequate
means of making euch a proclamation
known to the natives except those uhder
our immediate contrdl."

BEFORE f HE EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION YJQSTERBAY ON THE
RECENT GROWTH OF HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES.
t
$
to order in Light Guard Armory by
President Green, the smallest audi
ence of the week WaB pres
ent. "Higher Education" Was the topic
of the. morning. President Charles F.
Thwing, of Western Reserve University,
Cleveland, dl&cussea "The Functions of a
University in' a "Popular Democracy," H
said: '
"There is one special respect in which
the University proves to be of great advan
tage to organized religion. The university
helps to show to the world the relative
worth of the church and the relative lack
of the worth of churches. The churdh
Is founded upon the primary belief of the
existence of a personal God, and upon
the derived belief that the will bf this
Being is made known to the will of man,
and also upon the derived belief that the
will of this Supreme Being Is to be obeyed
by men. Churches are fdUnded upon some
adaptation of application or corrollary of
this fundamental conception.
"In the promotion of social efllclehcy
the university adjusts Iteelf In best ways
to the growth of that ever-growing force,
the Bense of humanltv; It is significant
that the growth of the sense of humanity
has been specially vigorous in the 40 years
that have elapsed since the publication
of the 'Origin of the Speclest' As it has
become evident that man has arisen out
Of the lower forms of life, the worth of
humanity, the highest form, has been
more appreciated, and the sense of the
oneness of this present highest form been
the more clearly harmonized. This prob
lem of recognition and appreciation the
university is set to promote. Through
the Interpretation of human movements
and through a sense of love for all men
and a desire to serve all meh, the Univer
sity most directly ministers to the noblest
growth of the noblest humanity.
"The University also performs an Im
portant function toward that element of
society known as public opinion. Public
opinion is the special product of democ
racy. ' It arises from the freedom of the
body democratic to express Its thoughts
and It' reacts on the people and helps
to create and maintain a democracy. The
University Is the voice of the people. It is
at times the voice of God; nnd 1 has
sometimes In free democracy an authority
greater than that of God. Public opinion
in a democracy Is usually tyranhlcal, and
those over whom it rules are commonly
Its willing subjects. It Is the tyranny of
the majority, and It Is hard to find a
tyranny more tvrannlcal than the tyran
nS of the majority It Is the power of a
tyrant raised to the ninth degree. To
public opinion the university owes three
duties: First, it should give enllghten
mfiht In order that public opinion may be
rightly formed: second, it should teach
the r.ght of dissent, and third. It should
teach and give an example of fairness and
moderation
"In point of intellectual condition, the
higher classes In a prosperous democracy
are subject to the temptation of material
ism and sensualism; the middle classes to
the temptation of medlocracy and cOm
monpiaceness; and the lower classes td
the temptation of brutailsm and Of con
tempt of all knowledge. IH point of man
nefs and social condition, the higher class
es aire open to the temptation of arro
gance: the middle classes are open to the
temptation oi pettiness, and the lower
classes to thb temptation of btstlallty. To
each of these classes the university owes
a special duty. To the higher It owes the
duty of teaching Spirituality; to the mid
dle the duty of teaching xne relativity
of the facts of knowledge arid of the
truths bf persdhality and of things; and
to the lower the duty of teaching gentle
ness and humility. American scholarship,
through Us ministry In "the university;
through Its teaching and its teachers, Is
to remove evil, Instruct tHe Ignorant, hu
manize the bfutal, uplift the sensual,
broaden the narrow, enrich the pdor.'ele
Vate the low, and make the unnatural nat
ural and the human dlvirte."
F. B. Fultoh, president of the Univer
sity of Mississippi, read a paper bh "Fetl
eral and State Interest lh Higher Edu
cation." National Commissioner of Education W.
T. Harris read the last paper of the
morning on recent growth of public high
schools In the United State? affecting the
attendance of colleges. The papers were
discussed by William H. Smiley, of Den
ver, and James Russell Parsons, Jr., of
Albany.
The committee appointed to consider the
details and organization of an educational
exhibit at the SL Louis Exposition de-
i elded to recommend to the board of man-
agers the construction of a separate build
ing for the educational exhibit, and that
this building haVe 25 per cent more floor
space than the educational building at
Columbia Exposition. H. J. Rogers, of
Albany, was indorsed by the committee
for director -.of the educational exhibit at
the exposition.
The last sessions of the National Coun
cil of Education, Departments, of Ele
mentary Education, Higher Education,
Normal Schools, Business Education,
Science Instruction, Library and Deaf,
Dumb and Feeble-Minded Instruction
were held this dfternoon.
Before the Department of Science ln
etructlon, Joseph Carter, of Champaign,
111,, read the following paper on "Agri
culture as a Science for the Elementary
Schools."
"Science does not seem likely to take
a permanent place In the elementary
schools under the name of nature study,
as the term Is now understood. Yet na
ture study is so very valuable and its re
suite of such high educational and eco
nomic worth, that It should be continued.
How can this be done? Any science can
best be taken up on the side nearest the
experience of the pupil. No other subject
is so near the experience of so many
children as agriculture. Agriculture has
at its foundations many of the sciences.
It deals with nature living nature. It is
T. HARRIS.
-
a subject about which all lines of nature
study are easily correlated.
"The teacher might begin with a win
dow garden ahd teach the germination of
seeds, the development of plants, the ef
fect of the" sunlight upon them, and many
other thin era. Probablv 80 ner cent of oUf
pupils are In- schools Where it is possible.
to have a garden out of doors where not
only vegetables, but the larger fruits
apples, plums, pears and the like Could
be raised. Here could be studied many
things that pertain to the growth of
plants the Insects that visit them, and
what insects are beneficial and what In
jurious, and aiso how to destroy the in
jurious ones.
"The life history of these Insects can
be studied. This garden can be made a
laboratory in which most delightful ex
periments can be made, and where Knowl
edge can be gained at first hand. Here
the soil can be studied. Its origin and
nature can be discovered its evolution
from a fiery rock to the fertile food for
plants. The birds wlil visit this garden
and they too can be studied.
"Agriculture is a science whose study
takes people out of doors. There is
a growing tendency In our schools to
adopt the sedentary life of the literary
man, Too much we are leading the chil
dren to think that wisdom Is found only
at the desk of the literary felloW- Too
many children "there are whose school
training is mainly an effort to give them
the ability to apprehend What was in the
mind of the author of the so-called liter
ary masterpiece."
"How Shall Children Be Led to LoVe
Good Books?" was the topic of a paper
read by Miss Isabel Lawrence, of St,
Cloud, Mlnm, before the Library Depart
ment. She spoke In part as follows:
"The child is greater than the book, and
the book must wait upon his needs. The"
Instinctive interests which predominate at
any given period of child life determine
largely what he can appropriate from lit
erature. "The child before 8 Is interested In vivid
images, but not in relations. He caes for
action, for color and sense, for the mar-;
velous and the Impossible; hence he revj
els lh myth and fdlry tale. This Child
knows only the family; loves stories of
children, delights in the Indian, but had
no more comprehension of his own coun.
try than a ZulU savage. RTiythm attracts
him -to song and poem. Even his prose
stories should 'run In the ears like the
noise of breakers.1
"From 8 to 14 the boy reads Invention
and travel greedily, to find out how things
are done. He loves the moving tale fla
vored with bloodshed and wonder. Give
him this sort of incident In good litera
ture, w'hefe It embodies truth and thought
afrd hg will soon reject Worthless stuff
of his own accord. L6t, the girl read her
brother's bobk until her demand for the
love story cannot be ignored; then give
her the best class of novels.
"From 14 to 18, in early adolescence,
there is a craze for reading. It matters
not how many books are read, so they
be wholesome. Let the yoUng mind catch
fire at many points, so the spark be di
vine. A foundation of wide reading must
be laid now for the close, logical study
of one book later.
"There should be friore stdry-telllng and
oral reading In home, school and library.
It IS not wicked to begin In the middle of
a book, If that be its attractive point. It
Is as absurd t6 make a boy tbdy the
life of the author to interest him In
Ichabod Crane, as It would bfe to make a
young irian study the family records as a
preliminary to falling iri ldVe with thd
daughter of the house.
"Finally, any child Will love good lit
erature Who Is surrounded by. Its lovers.
Before we legislate that every teacher"
must sing and draw, let us Insist that no
teacher who knows not literature and
loves It not. be appointed to take charge
of children of any age.1'
The most hotable of the department
meetlhcra this evenintr was that of the
department of higher education in the
high schodl, befdre which ta. paper was
read by President Faunce, of Browh Uhl
Verslty, on "The Moral Element In Edu
cation," advocating properly conducted
athletic contests in colleges and schools.
The National Council of Education, at a
very slimly attended session, adopted a
resolution Indorsing the centralization of
rural schools and the transportation of
pupils to them.

STILL NO AGREEMENT
SECOND DAY OF PITTSBURG COX
FERENCE WITHOUT RESULTS.
The Indications Are That Today a
Settlement or a General Strike
Will Be Decided Upon.
PITTSBURG, July 12. The second day
of the conference between the Amalgam
ated Association' of Iron, Steel &JTln.
Workers and the steel manufacturers
came to a close tonight without an agree
ment havlnK been reached. Another ses
sion will be held tomorrow, and, from In
dications late tonight, a settlement or a
general strike will be decided upon. When
the conference adjourned all of tho con
ferees were appealed to for Information as
to the status of affairs, but nothing- defi
nite could be learned. Late tonight, how
ever. President Shaffer, of the Amalgam
ated Association, consented to be quoted
in the following statement:
"Nothing actually was accomplished to
day. No proposition was eubmltted by
either side to the controversy. No time
limit has been set on the conference, but
it must come to an end. Tomorrow must
settle It one way or another. If no agree
ment Is reached, the general strike, which
was set for last Monday, will proceed. I
am still hoping for a settlement."
When asked if. in the event of a strike,
it would involve all the plants of the
United States Steel Corporation, Mr.
Shaffer replied that every union man in
every plant In any way connected with
the steel corporation would be called out.
A general strike, If ordered, would In
clude the union workers In the Federal
Steel Company, the National Steel Com
pany, the American Tinplate Company,
the American Sheet Steel Company, the
National Tube Company and the Ameri
can Steel Hoop Company, and all union
members in non-union or open mills, ag
gregating about 60,000 men, who would be
affected.
It la believed by conservative steel men
that comprbmlse will be reached tomor
row and a strike averted. President Shaf
fer himself, while not stating that he Is
prepared to Initiate a compromise. Inti
mates that should orie come from the
6ther side he would gladly meet it half
way and concede anything not compro
mising his people.
Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the steel
Combine executive committee, was In the
city all day practically Incognito. He did
hot take part in the conference dtrectly,
nor did he take part In the meeting, but it
is learned dn high authority tonight that
he was not far away from the meeting,
and was cognizant of everything that
transpired. Withbut making public in any
way tho purpose of his visit here, he left
for Chicago tonight on tho Pennsylvania
Limited.
Previous to the opening of the joint con
ference, the executive committee of the
Amalgamated Association met and dis
cussed the course to be pursued at today's
meeting.
The conference was resumed at 10:25 A.
M. with the sam representatives In at
tendance as yesterday. The conference
adjourned for lunch at noon. The morn
ing session, It is said, was taken up en
tirely by the arguments of the manu
facturers. Among other matters consid
ered is what is called the "non-lnterrup-tive"
clause In the new scale. The clause
was accepted by the Republic Iron &
Steel Company and the American Tinplate
