Washington, April 2.—General
Mac Arthur cables from Manila to
the war department that General
Emilio Aguinaldo, the former in
surgent chief, has taken the oath
of allegiance to the United States.

fellow citizens who, in their retro

again confirmed our confidence in
the overwhelming prevalence
among our. citizens of disinterested
devotion to American honor; and
last, but not least, it has taught
us where to look m the ranks of
our country for the best patriot
ism.
