WASHINGTON, March 29—The British government has protested : against China making a convention . with any power touching territorial or ! fluahclal matters until the present troubles in that country are conclud ed. The fact of the British protest was made known here for the first time today by a dispatch from one of the foreign officers of Europe. It says the protest was made through Sir Ernest Hatow, the British minister at An InUrwtmg Goikcls* <d k*m* from th! Pekin.

The residences of many of the people were decorated with flags- ‘be stars and stripes floating through the town, while thousands of firecrackers were exploded in all directions. it was a beautiful summer morn ing. and wh>-n the sultan had not put in an appearance upon the ar rival of the last laun< h, a cutter was sent with the secretary of the com mission to invite the sultan to visit the ship. They brought back his majesty, clothed in gold and purple, and decorated with jewels. He pre- seated a comi' op^ra aspect as be came on board, followed by his min isters and a acorn of relatives in mot ley court array. They were greeted with a salute of 17 guns. Commis sioner Taft explained to his majesty that there was no disposition on the part of the members of the commis sion to intcrfeie with the administra tion of the sultan’s affairs or the habits, customs and religion of the people. He said that the only mo- tive governing the commission was the prospective prosperity and hap piness of the people of the Sulu Isl ands, and that the people of the United States expected the treaty to be strictly observed. The sultan then thanked Commis sioner Taft and spoke proudly of the cable and other improvements intro duced by the Americans, adding that his bant : m th» military of- fb Into, ami tl. acted to abide by the decision of the commission ers an>l to follow their advice. His majesty then inspected the ship. That afternoon the sultan was re ceived at the American military headquarters and inspected the troops. Native sports followed, which were witnessed by the commis sioners and others. Tin- Philippine commission sailed this morning for Isabel. Island of Basllan. Before leaving the commis sion had a long consultation with Ma jor Sweet, the American commander at Gato. and Dhui Karnein, the strongest chief of the Sulus, who usually opposes the sultan. Any measure of civil government in Sulu appears impossible at pres ent. The customs of vassalage, ser vitude and polygamy prevail. There is no law except the Koran, and that is not always followed. The Morros and Chinese desire a cessation of military rule in Jolo, but the con glomerate character of the popula tion and the uncertainty as to those without the walls render this inadvi sable. Military officers consider the treaty unnecessary and an impedi ment to progress. TMWtO ÄT 1*51 Jefferson, at Richmond, Va. Burned, But No Livss Lost. RICHMOND. Va..

EFFECT OF CAPTURE. Insurgent Leaders on Luzon Are E» pected to Surrender. MANILA. April 1.—Aguinaldo is now detained in a comfortable room in a wing of the Malacanan palace. He is in charge of Captain Benjamin H. Randolph and Lieutenant Gilbert A. Y’oungberg, ot battery G, Third artillery. When Aguinaldo was captured he wore a plain dark blue suit with the coat closelv buttoned up at the throat and a wide whlte helmet with a leather band. He takes his capture philo sophically. He is generally cheerful, but sometimes moody. His health during the past year has been very good. It is uncertain what attitude he will now assume. Certain visitors are permitted to see Aguinaldo. but newspaper interviews with the pris oner are not allowed. Since Aguinaldo has been domiciled at the Malacanan palace, persons not provided with special permits have been denied admission to the grounds. General Trias, the commander of the insurgent forces in Southern Luzon, who recently surrendered to the Amer ican authorities, visited Aguinaldo, and told the latter why he had sur rendered. Trias said that a continu ance of armed opposition to the United States was unjustifiable and ruinous; that the independence of the Philip pines was impossible, and that the Fil ipinos had better accept liberty, pros perity and progress under American rule. The capture of Aguinaldo. follow ing the surrender of General Trias, will probably occasion the surrender of the insurgent leader Malavar In Batangas province. Luzon; Bellarmlno. in Albay province, Luzon, and Luc han. in .the island of Samar within a month. Many people visited the resi dence of General and Mrs. Funston on the Calle Rell. In the suburb of Ermita. The general modestly declined to talk. Mrs. Funston was evidently the hap piest wo*.ian in the Philippine islands. General Funston has been recom mended for the highest practicable re ward. It is believed here that he will receive an appointment of brigadier general in the regular army.
