England Ready lo Evacuate China Not Pre pared lo Quarrel With Russia Want Indemnity In a Lump Sum. In the House of Lord Lord I.nnx downe, the Foreign Hoerotnry, an nounced that no further military opera tions by tin Itrltlsli trjiops lu China wore ciintcmplntod for tho present. When Field Marshal Count von Will deisce ordered prcpu rat ions for tho re cent expedition Hie British tloveru incut Instructed Ociicral Onsoloo to ooniinnnlcalo with the homo (Jovern lnent before participating therein. The compliance of China with the demands of the Powers Ix hardly of such u chnrnctcr nx to Justify tho with drawal of the allied forces, but the British (loverniiient Imped to bo able, bcrore long, to withdraw or reduce Its forces lu China. Negotiation were necessarily slow with a refugee tlov ernment. On Hie broad quest Ions, however, there was a practical titui liltnlly mninig the Power. The nlllcs had agreed they wore not ut war with China and desired to derive uo terri torial advantage from the present evontx.

Agulnaldo Taken lo Manila aa Prisoner ay Gen. Funslon After Long Chase. How Capture Waa Planned. Gen. Frederick FunMnn's daring pro jert for the enpttire of ARiiinaldJ in hli hiding place in the province of Isabella, Island of Luzon, tins proved completely successful. The United Stales gunboat Vlcksburg, Commander K, B. linrry, with Gen. Funston and Aguinnldo on board, arriv ed nt Manila Thursday morning. In January, from his biding place ,lr) the province of Isabella, Aguinaldv wrote letters anathematizing the sub ihiefs who had taken the oath of alle pinnce to the United States. Later Aguinnldo ordered certain insurgent forces in Southern Luzon to join him tit a rendezvous in Isabella prqvince. The rebel officer entrusted with those orders secretly negotiated with the Americans. On securing the necessary information Gen. Funston planned Aguinaldo's cap ture, and, with Gen. MacArtlnir's au thorization. Funston proceeded nearly three weeks ago to make the attempt, lie. with Surgeon Major Harris, Capt. Newton, of the Thirty-fourth infantry; Lieut. Admire, of the Twenty-second in fantry ; Lieut. Mitchell, of the Fortieth infantry; six veteran scouts and a com pany of native scouts, all picked men, embarked orf the gunboat Vicksburg and were landed on a remote beach above Baler. It was arranged that Aguinaldo's emis sary, with the native scouts, should pans themselves off as insurgent troops, who, having captured Funston and oth ers, were taking them as prisoners to Aauinnldo. At the right time, when brought be fore Aguinnldo, Gen. Funston gave the signal, when the tables were turned and Aguinaldo wns seized. NO STRIKE, SAYS MORGAN.
