one-third to his wife and two-thirds to
Mrs. Della L. B. Conover, of Chicago,
daughter by a former wife. Mrs. Board
man applied to the district court,
Judge Burnham presiding. for re-
ceiver. Judge Burnham appointed John
p. Woodbury. and required Boardman
to deliver all the property. Boardman
at once applied to the supreme court
for a writ of certiorari.
Judge Burnham filed lengthy argu-
ment setting forth that he had been
informed that Trustee Boardman had
embezzled $4,000 from the estate before
the elder Boardman's death Judge
Burnham stated that he had no per-
sonal knowledge of this charge, but
was so informed by Mrs. Boardman's
counsel Trustee Boardman filed an
affidavit denying this. The supreme

ceedings be certified up for review.

Colonel Funston's Report Made Public b.
Adjutant General Corbin.

AdJutant General COrDtn.
Washington, May 2s.-Adjutant Gen.
eral Corbin has given out for publica-
ton the report Of Colonel Frederick
Funston of the Twentieth Kansas regi-
ment. The report deals with the d.
erations of the Kansas regiment from
the beginning of the outbreak, Feb. 4,
until Feb. 10. Touching the fight at
Caloocan. he says that his outposts
were fired upon at 10 O'Clock at night
by insurgent patrols. This had followed
other attacks. so the general alarm was
given and the Kansas men advanced,
assisted by part Of the Utah battery.
During the day Major Whitman was
taken i'll and returned to Manila. where
he was at the date Of the report. Be-
ing distant from theinsursent trenches
and barricades only about $500 yards,
the fire from them was so calling that
an advance was imperative. Says
Colonel Funston:
II ordered a charge UP the road and
through the gardens and bamboo
thickets that fianked 1t. This charge.
which I led In person. was most gall
lantly made. the men firing as they ad-
vanced. The insurgents stood until We
were within sixty yards when they
gave way"

heDeis Attack Generai Ovensniue1s Lino
South of Manila.
Manila. May 25.-Major Bell Of the
Fourth cavalry made a reconnaissance
at Santa Rita, west of Bacolor. He
encountered considerable resistance
from the enemy and had several men
wounded. There was also a brush with
the enemy at Mariquina and later at
Pasay, where a line of insurgent skirm-
ishers, who were shielding a force Of
trench diggers. attacked General Oven
shines lines. The rebels were repulsed
by battalion Of the First Idaho in
fantry and two companies of the Twen-
tieth infantry. The Americans had two
men killed and two wounded.
A raft, which was being used to
transport the Twelfth infantry across
the Pasig river. was overloaded and
sank in midstream. Five OF the SOL
diers were drowned.
A typhoon is raging and the rainy
season has begun. The recent events
and negotiations for peace have not
brought about any change in the Amer
lean military policy. So long as rebels
appear in arms they will, be attacked
and dispersed. These attacks upon the
American forces. while Aguinaldo's
commissioners are in Manila negotiat-
ing for peace, are held to show the lack
of control Of the rebel chief over his
followers and the utility Of negotia-
lions while armed rebels still keep the
field.
