Funston Wants to Stay.

General Frederick Funston and Mrs.,
Funston are with the generals reyi
ment. General Funston has undergone
IN operation necessitated by an injury
resulting from a fall from his horse
while serving in the Cuban army with
General Gomez. In the course of an
interview, General Funston remarked
that he would not mind staying in Lu.

as there is fighting, he would like tc
remain and aid in bringing it to q

said:

end of the fighting the highwaymen

members of Aguinaldo's army who have
wed for years with guns in their
Iands have acquired Il state for BUSH

highwaymen than return to work.
"Cavalrv is greatly ne eded here.
The country, when dry, is superb fol-
cavalry operations. The insurgents
have none. One of their strong points
is their ability to retreat rapidly
Cavalry could overtake and hopelessly
scatter and punish them, and could
subsis. largely on the country. When
cavalry is once here, it should be given
a chance to go ahead and not be kept in
towns for guard duty. Our greatest
successes have been gained when the
regimental commanders have been al.
lowed to follow up quickly the advan-
tages gained in battle. Small bodies
of Americans. operating freely and
commanded by officers of dash and en-
ergy. could badly break up the enemy.
The capture Of Aguinaldo by cavalry
would be- q less difficult proposition
han the capture OF the Apache chiefs
