AGUINALDO TRAPPED
General Fnnston’s Perilous Ex>
pedition Proves Successful.
FILIPINO IS CAUGHT NAPPING
Scheme For Capture Was Bold
Piece of Work and Was Bril
liantly Executed.
A Manila special says: General
Frederick Funston’s daring project
for the capture of Aguinaldo in his
hiding plaoe in the province of Isa
bela, north of Luzon, has proved com
pletely successful.
Aguiualdo was captured there March
23d.
The United States gunboat Vicks
bnrg, Commander E. B. Barry, with
General Funston and Aguinaldo on
board, arrived at Manila Wednesday
morning. where the
The provinoe of Isabella,
capture of Aguinaldo occurred, is on
the island of Luzon, about 200 miles
northeast of Manila and about seven
ty-five miles aorth of Baler, on the
eastern coast, which place was made
memorable by the capture of Lieuten
ant Gilmore and his party from the
gunboat Yorktown in April, 1899.
Isabella province is wild and moun
tainous, especially along the coast,
where the high range, known as the
Grand Cordellians Oriente, extends for
a hundred miles or more from north to
eouth, tho highest point of the range
being but a few miles from the shore.
Rugged trails in some places but a
foot or two in width lead across the
ing streams, aud where these overflow
their banks the trails are waist deep
in mud. It was to this uninviting
district that General Funston and his
email band went a short time ago. It
was a part of the island that had never
been visited by American troops.
Geueral Fnnston’s plans as outlined
in a dispatch from Manila to the
Associated Press a few days ago, were
to make the trip over the Isabella
mountains to Aguinaldo’s hiding place
accompanied by Surgeon Harris, Cap
tain Newton, of the Thirty-fourth in
fantry; Lieutenant Mitchell, of the
Fortieth infantry; six veteran scouts
and a company of native scouts, all
picked men. They were to be landed
by the gunboat Vicksburg on a remoto
bench north of Baler and wore to pro
ceed overland guided by a former
offieer of Aguinaldo who had betrayed
to Funston the Filipino leader’s abode.
To deceive the enemy it was ar
ranged that Aguinaldo’s represents
tive, who had given the information
to the Americans, should lead the na
tive scouts and assume the charac
ter of insurgents still loyal to the
rebel cause.
They were to make it appear that
they had captured General Funston
and other American officers of high
rank and was bringing them into the
camp of the insnrgent chief to be de
livered as prisoners of war. Then
was to come the daring part of the
plan. to
Tho pretended prisoners were
throw aside their assumed character
and metamoiphose themselves from
prisoners to captors, seize Aguinaldo,
beat down any opposition that might
show itself and hold their prisoner.
To carry ont tho program required a
long march into the interior, and nev
er ceasing caution to guard against
treachery. The troops in New Y’izeaya
and Baija and the gunboats Yricksburg
and Albany were ordered to co-operato
with the capturing party. in
The news of Aguinaldo’s capture
dicate clearly that tho plans of Gen
eral Funston wore successfully carried
ont.

BRITAIN BLOCKS GAME.
The English Government Enters
Protest Against Russia’s
Seizure of Manchuria.
The British government has pro
tested against China’s making a con
vention with any power touching ter
ritorial or financial affairs until the
present troubles in that country are
concluded. The fact of the British
protest was made known in Washing
ton for the first time Wednesday by a
dispatch from one of the offices of
Europe.
It states that the protest was made
through Sir Ernest Satow, the British
minister at Pekin. It does not state
when the representations were made,
but from the fact that the dispatch was
received in Washington Wednesday, it
is taken that the protest has been made
in the last few days. Although the
Russian agreement is not specifically
referred to, it is said to be clear that
the British action is directed against
the Russian agreement. The language
appears to be similar to that used by
Secretary Hay in the American pro
test. The effect of the British action
is to place the United States, Japan
and Great Britain in formal opposition
to the signing of a convention with
any power pending the settlement of
the Chinese troubles.
The concurrence of these protests
probably explained why the Mancbu
rian agreement has not been signed.
There was no definite information re
ceived Wednesday, at the state depart
ment or any of the foreign embassies,
as to whether the agreement had been
signed or rejected. of stir
There was something a in
diplomatic quarters over the report
coming from official sources that the
United States was considering the ad
visability of addressing Russia direct
ly on the subject. Heretofore the
American objections to the Manchur
ian agreement have been addressed to
Gopi........ though the
Russian authorities, pro
test in form has been to China and
not to Russia. Several of the foreign
representatives advised their govern
ments that this step was contemplated
by the United States, but there is no
oflLial information available as to how
fnr the consideration of the move has
proceeded.

Brilliant Flower Parade to Be a
Feature of the Confederate
Reunion at Memphis.
Now that the fiuanco committee has
practically completed its task of se
curing the necessary funds with which
to promote the Confederate Riunion
to be held in Memphis next M ly, the
entertainment, amusement, decora
tion and illumination and parade com
mittees are determined to do their
part in making the gathering of the
veterans the most successful ever held
in the south, and for that matter in the
whole United States.
With plenly of money at their dis
posal everything will be gotten up on
a grand scale, and already the prepa
rations show that the wole affair will
be a solid week of rare exciting pleas'
ure and bewildering magniticouce.
A careful and conservative estimate
has been made which promises that
the Bluff City will be visited by 100,
000 visitors during the week of the
reunion, and for all those of this im
mense gathering there will not be an
idle moment provided for in the way
of entertainment and amusement.
Prominent among the greater spec
tacles will be the largest and most
beautiful Flower Parade ever held in
this country, and a realistic naval bat
tle on the river, which will be illum
inated with all the grand color scenery
of the war and the spectacular para
phernalia of striking realism.
The flower parade of a year ago in
honor of Admiral Dewey was a gor
geously brilliant affair. The one next
May will be greater, more elaborate,
more beautiful, in every way infinite
ly more interesting and magnificent.
There will be prizes given to the most
beautiful and most nniqne vehicles,
and these prizes will be fittingly ex
pensive and valuable, besides being
lasting souvenirs of the occasion.
As a companion piece to this feature
of the reunion the naval battle or fire
woyka display op the ppy Mill be
correspondingly elaborate. Later, this
feature will be gone into at length,and
as far ns possible a description will be
given together with incidents in the
war of ’61-65, which it will recall or
suggest to the thousands of veterans
who will witness the

Seven Highwaymen Held Citizens at Bay
While Securing Booty.
At Somerset, Perry County, Ohio,
early Tuesday morning seven bandits
partially wrecked the state bank of
Somerset by exploding a heavy charge
of nitro-glyerine in the vault doors,
secured $5,000, appropriated two live
ry rigs, held a posse of oitizens at bay
and escaped in the face of a heavy fire.
Bonds and securities to the amount of
$30,000 and $5,000 in gold coin were
overlooked by the bandits. The bank
was fully insured and its business will
not be interrupted.
A heavy explosion in the bank build
ing shortly before 2 o’cl'ock a. m.
aroused citizens living in tho vicinity
of the Bank of Somerset. John Hayes,
whose home is opposite the bank
building, raised a window aud observ
ed four men stationed in front of the
bank.
3e saw that the whole front of the
two-story building in which the insti
tution was located had been shattered,
and, believing he could frighten away
the men, who, it was evident, were
much alarmed by the strength of the
eiplosion, hastily donned his clothes
and sallied forth. When he reached
the sidewalk he was challenged and,
under the influence of four rifles point
ed at his head, again mounted the
stairs and secured arms.
Meanwhile many other persons be
gan to appear in the darkened streets
of the village. William Lovett open
ed fire on the bandits with a rifle, but
his aim was not of the best and his
shots only served to draw the fire of
the robbers. The shooting soon be
came general as citizens crept toward
the bank from all directions, and the
robbers evidently began to think of
escape.
At a signal from the four on guard,
three others emerged from the bank,
bearing several sacks into which they
had hurriedly plaoed their loot.
The robbers were under good discip
line and their leader gave his orders
like a military leader:
“All ready, forward march!”
Single fils, they marched under the
shadows ef tbs trees which lined the
sidewalks, and turned a corner, climb
ed into two rigs and drove in a north
westerly direction.
Citizens took up the chase and at
4 o'clock found the rigs, deserted,
along the roadside. The sheriff of
Perry county had been notified by
telephone and arrived at daylight with
a pack of blood bounds, which were
used in the chase. The robbers were
successfully traced around town by
the hounds. It was found they had
broken open a blacksmith shop to se
cure tools and then had taken the rigs
in which they escaped from a livery
stable near the bank.
