LETTER FROM col. FUNSTON.
The FiiipinOs Have Got to BE Mnde
Good InjunSv-Ethics for Uneasy


Good Injunsv-Ethics for Uneasy
souls.
The Topeka Capital prints this letter.
dated March H. from Col Funston of the
Twentieth Kansas Volunteers:
I'VE are now anxiously awaiting the
arrival of papers from home, published
since the outbreak, in order that we may
see what news our folks have been fur
nished with.
The regiment fought splendidly and
effectively and in each one of the three
attacks it has made carried everything be-
fore il. II has undoubtedly acquired the
best reputation of any regiment here for
lighting. The boys go for the enemy as
If they were chasing jack-rabbits 1t is
a nasty sort of war-one of ambushes and
surprises, So far two officers, Capt. Elliott
and Lieut.. Afford, have been killed and
with them ten enlisted men, while two
officers and thirty-four enlisted men have
been wounded; but the worst OF Il is that
the end is not yet and many and many
Kansas home will be darkened before we
see the end of this sorry business. That
is the sad, distressing part OF 1t.
This is different business from seeing
Cubans killed. But how gloriously these
countrymen of ours fighti When l tell
them to charge, which have three times,
the trouble has been not to get them to
come on. but to keep from getting run
over by them, We are at present occupy
ing the trenches at Caloocan. three miles
north of Manila, the extreme left of the
Gordon of trenches fifteen miles long that
protect the land side of Manila.
The insurgents are close in on our
front, quite well intrenched, and there Is
some bloody business ahead when we ad-
vance. But that will happen long before
this reaches you; in fact we are expect
ing it in few days.
1T would take a great prophet to even
guess. how long this thing will last. 1t
may be that the leaders. discouraged by
their recent severe defeats, win give up,
or 1t may be that they will for years
maintain guerilla warfare
Il am afraid that some people at home
will die awake nights worrying about the
ethics of this war, thinking that our en-
envy is fighting for the right of self-gov-

which these people roll over their tongue
so gibly, is TO them a word and not much
more.

They are, as a rule, illiterate, SEMI

against tyranny, but against Anglo-Sax-

duct during the several months preced-
ing the outbreak was one of insufferable
arrogance and egotism They are swollen

ACoNEIpENCE SCHEME.

Samuel Stern, president of the john
W. Daniel Club, and q leader in Rich
mond politics, has been enticed from
his home in that city to Baltimore, ard
an effort made by men OF Baltimore to
entrap him into q scheme to manufao-
ture gold. A few days ago he receiv-
ed a letter urging him to come at once
to Baltimore. He went, he was taken
into small room by three men, and q
plan unfolded to make 22-carat gold and
sell it in Europe. MIR. Graf, inventor
of the process, told Mr. Stern that in
the manufacture of this gold he used
petroleum and several other kinds OF
oils. together with certain acids mixed
carefully in mathematical proportions.
Certain amounts of real gold and silver
were used. All OF these should be put
into warm sand and buried. A certain
steam pressure would be turned on and
the ingredients subjected to this for 30
many days, hours, minutes aud seconds
by actual time measurement.
Graf had book which he claimed
to be many hundred years OF age, and
which he declared came down from
generation to generation through re-
pular succession of magicians and wise
men from the time of King Solomon.
Graft declined to allow anyone to see
the inside of this volume, which con-
tanned wonderfully valuable secrets on
the manufacture of gold hitherto un
known.
Mr.. Stern, in reply to questions, was
told that to make twenty-five pounds
OF genuine 22-c4rat gold two pounds OF
the sgenuine stuff, costing about SI5o'
would be required. For the same
amount of gold in short time fourteen
pounds of silver and nearly two pounds
of the yellow metal would be required.
These, with the acids, oils, aid other
materials and facilities, would cost
about 500 for the first twenty i've
pounds of gold, which would be made
as sample and tested to the satisiac-
ton of any reputable assayer. MIR.
Stern took under advisement the prop
osition to put up collateral to make 8
| test.

LADIES ANXIOUS TO GO.

Hundreds of army officers wives
have been thrown into deep distress by
the War Departments order refusing
them transportation on the government
vessels to Manila, and fearful remon.
strances are being received daily against
what they term an infringement on
their freedom. The government can
not prevent the ladies from i)ining
their husbands, if they pay their own
transportation, but few can afford the
cost of journey, which is even more
expensive DOW than usually, owing to
the reduced number of ships plying
between this country and Chinese and
East Indian waters.
Nearly every suitable vessel former
ly engaged in the trade with the Orient
has been chartered or purchased by he
War Department to transport troops,
80 that the few now in operation have
monopoly on the carrying trade and
have put up the rates to an exorbitant
extent. The War Department does
not wish women to be with the troops
at Manila, and, acting under sugges.
lion from General Otis last summer,
refused transr ortation to the fam
lilies of all officers soon after the ue.
par,ure of the first consignment of
troops. With those troops, however,
were a number of officers who took
with them their wives and children at
government expense.
All the earlier ships proceeding BY
the Suez canal, from New York, car
ried, in addition 10 the soldiers, from
so to 1C0 women who were either
wives Of officers on board or were go.
ing to join their husbands i6 Manila.
Then came Gen. Otis's protest. He
found that 1t was often necessary to re
ain large detachments ottroops around
Manila 10 afford protection to the NO
men and children, and on one occ sion,
when there was fling near the city, it
was necessary to put all the women
and children on transports to insure
their safety. Secretary Roots order
was issued because of the lack of quar-
iers on ships to transport all the fami
lies wishing to go, as well as for mill
tary reasons, and the difficulty in Sc
curing quarters and comforts for them
in the Philippines.
The women seem to be willing to un-
dergo all hardships if the War Depart
ment will permit them to take passage
on the transports.
