GEN. OTIS INTERVIEWED.
Aguinaldo's Followers 8ald to Be Fast De
serting Him and the War Is Prac
. tieally Ended.
San Francisco, June 5. After five
days in quarantine at Angel island.
Maj. Gen. E. .S. Otis, who arrived
last Wednesday from Manila, was al
lowed to . land yesterday. When seen
by a reporter of the Associated press
Gen. Otis was asked what would be
the effect of the. war if the report of
Aguinaldo s death was true. He said
that the war was practically ended.
that Aguinaldo s followers were de
serting him fast and those who now
remain with him are generally of the
lower class. Most of his officers have
left him, though some still remain
in touch with him. Some of those
who have left him are now engaged in
business in Manila and others are
hiding in the mountains. Many of
his closest followers are very friendly
toward the United States and that as
soon as the natives in general gain
confidence in the friendly offices and
the Americans .there would be little
difficulty in bringing them to terms.
Gen. Otis would not state whether
or not he favored' the retention of
the islands by this country. In re
sponse to such a query he merelv
said: '.'We have got them now. What
are we to do about it?"

the Thirty-third regiment, on May 10

starved, Maj. March's men entered
La Gat on the run. They saw the in
surgents scattering into the bushes
or over the plateau. A thousand
yards .beyond the town, on the moun

dressed in white, with their leader on
a grey horse, were silhouetted against

volley and saw the officer drop from

STUDY OF AGRICULTURE.
Elementary Courses to Be Introduced Id
he Public Schools of Illinois to Stem
Migration from Country Districts.
Chicago, June 4. Elementary
courses in agriculture will be intro
duced into the public schools of Illi
nois with the beginning of the next
school year, to rank with other
studies now pursued. With the pri
mary purpose of interesting country
boys in what probably will be their
work in. future, the course will be
adapted especially to the country
schools, but they will be introduced
into town and city classes also in
an elementary way. The greatest
success for the new course is expected
in the country and smaller towns. A
result of, the introduction of agri
culture as a study is expected to be
that the tide of migration of coun
try boys from farms into cities will
be stemmed.
