AGUINALDO - TAKES THE OATH RENOUNCING11o PH11.1LIPPIvE OVERN HIM s: ACeriNo UNIrED sTATEs As Supro-me Authority, and Piedgig g Him 110if Not to tiod Cominmonleatin With Or Aid Ent mies or this Country. [The State.] Washington, April 2.-The war department today received informa tion frotn Gen. MacArthur that Agui naldo has taken the oath of allegi ance to the United States under the terms of aminiesty offered by Gen. MacArthur by direction of the pres ident. The news came to the department in the following cablegram: Manila. Adjutant General, Washington. Since arriving at Manila, Agui naldo has been at .Aalacanan inves. tigating conditions in the archipel. ago. He has relied almost entirely upon the instructive advice of Chisf Justice Arellano. As a result, today he subscribed and swore to the dec laration on page 11 of my annual report. MacArt bur. Th.' oath referred to is as follows: "I hereby renounce all .il legiance to auy and all so-called rev ,luti -nary governments in the Phil. ippine islands and recognze and tc capt the supreme authority of the United States of America therein; I do solemnly swear that I will bear tru" faith and allegiance to the gov ernment; that I will at all times con duct myself as a faithfil and law abiding citizen of said islands and will not, either directly or indirectly 4old correspondence with or giVe in. telligence to an enemy of the United States, nor will I abet, harLor or protect such enemy; That I impose upon myself these voluntary obliga. tions without any mental reserva tions or purpose of evasion, so help me God." Gen. MacArthur's dispatch con tainea much more than was given to the public. The portion withheld relates to the future disposition of Aguinaldo and made suggestions as to what the late chief of the insurrec tion might accomplish. No official statement could be obtained as to what flually would be done with the prisoner, but it was emphatically stated that he would be held for the present but would be granted all pos sible immunity consistent with exist ing conditions. Gen. MacArthur has hopes that a great deal may bo accomplished through Agninieo, During the time he has been prisoner he has made quite a favorable im pression upon Gen. MacArthur. It has been suggested that udder the terms of the notice of amnesty the prisoner should be set at libert3 at once, but there is a provision in the amnesty proclamation which say s that those who have violated the law of war are excepted from its terms Whether or not Gen. MacArthnr has satisfied himself that Aguinaldo hait not violated the laws of war canno' be stated as the prisoner would be parmit.ted to take the oath pending an investigation of his past coidnet. Aguinaldo having been the head of the insurrection, undoubtedly can he held until further investigation is made, or until the circumnstances which surround the situation in t b. Philippines make it advisable to re l-ase him outright or otherwise di.. pise of him. These conditions and the general situation and Agninaldo'i relation to them were the suhject of Gen hiacArthur's dispatch and a,. being considered by the authorit ies who will have the final disposition of the matter. The news (if Aguinaldo's action was received with evident satisfac tion by the war department and the Opinion was expressed that good re * Its would follow among those wb. nave been still holding out against the United States. "Aguiinaldo's taking the oath of allegiance," said one member of th cabinet today, "emphasiz'.s the in. portance of his capture. It make more clear that the insurrection ha' ibt reached- its end and fore athe early complete genera I acaept ioe of United States sover. ignty and authority. Only a com paratively small number of Filipinos are still in arms and the effoot of Aguinaldo's action on thon is obvi o08. From now on we will preps forward, organizing the bost govern M -nt we can suited to the nevd4 of the Philippines. Aguinaldo's sub mission will have a considerable bear ing in his favor, in the determina. tion of the matter of what to do with I him. That will not be decided for some time, and en. McArthur and the Philippine commission meantimni I will deliberate carefully over the question before reaching any conclu- I sinns." Should the capture and subnjis sion of the Filipino chieftain mark the beginning of the end in the Phil ippineH, as is expected, the effect upon the American naval represon tation in Asiatic waters will be a very considerablo reduction of our naval force in the east. There are at present about 57 of our naval vos sols on the Asiatic station. A good many of them now will be sent home i to form nuclei for new squadrons. It. is possible that the European stit tion. with headquarters in the Med. iteralioan, will be revived, and also that the recreation of the old South t Pacific station will follow.

Then for 25 N ears it was forced to labor int a way little calcu lated to give it love for work I believe that in slavery the solution of the problem was really laid, and I believe that if we could have taken it up just where it -%as left off when slavery ended it would have been bet ter for our people. "They felt that to hold office was the highest thing they could attain, and they put more emphasis on the political than the industrial side of life. They thought the object of ed ucation was to put them in a position where they would not hMie to work. Eighty per cent of the poople in the South depend on agriculture for a living and we began with that as a basis.
