that in the last TWO years the total en-
ports of bicycles exceeded in value all
kinds of agricultural implements. and
after iron and steel products came first
on the list of manufactured goods eN

One of the officers of the regiment
was killed, one was wounded ana one
died from disease; twenty-four of the
men were killed. lbs We're wounded
and nine died.
General Frederick Funston and Mrs.
Funston are to go with the regiment.
General Funston has undergone an op-
Grafton necessitated by an injury re
sulting from fall from horse while
serving in the Cuban army under Gen
eral Gomez.
In the course of an Interview General
Funston remarked that he would not
mind staying in LuZon. He dislikes
war, but inasmuch as there is tight
ing he would like to remain and ald
in bringing ii TO Il close. Speaking or
the future, he said:
The only solution of the problem
will be through whipping the insur-
gents. 1 do not think they will sur
render. When we begin active opera
tions against them on a larger scale
in the autumn we will scatter them
into small bodies, and l think that
when the soldiers composing these
bands see that they are persistently
pursued they will throw away or hide
their arms and return to their pursuits
of peace.
Cavalry is greatly needed here The
country. when dry. is superb for cav
airy operations. The insurgents have
none. One of their strong points is
to retreat rapidly. Cavalry could over
take and hopelessly scatter and pun
ish them and could subsist largely on
the country. When cavalry is once
here it should be given n 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 allowed TO
quickly follow up the advantages gain
ed in battle. Small bodies of Ameri-
cans. operating freely and command
ed by officers of dash and energy.
could badly break up the enemy. The
capture of Aguinaldo by cavalry would
be less difficult proposition than the
capture of the Apache criefs in Ari-
Zona."
