Gen. Funston Says This In the Only
solution of the Problem
in Philippines.

Manila, Sept. 2.-Of the troops about
to return TO the United States the Kan
sas men will leave on board the trans
port Tartar, the Washington regiment
on board the Pennsylvania, and the Ne
vada cavalry on the Ohio. All these de-
partures will occur within the next
week. Eight hundred men of the Kan
sas regiment will return and 200 will
remain at Manila, $50 of them reenlist-
ing. Three officers and 30 men of the
Kansans were killed and 10 officers and
men died from disease during the small
pox epidemic, while 1872 members of the
regiment were wounded.
Gen. Frederick Funston and Mrs.
Funston are with the generals regi-
ment. Gen. Funston in an interview,
speaking of the future, said:
THE only solution OF the problem will
be through whipping the insurgents. i 40
not think they viii surrender. When we
begin active operations against them on
a larger scale In the autumn we will scat
ter them into small bands. and i think
when the soldiers composing these bands
see that they are persistently pursued they
will throw away or hide their arms and
return TO the pursuits of peace. A year
hence small bodies OF armed men will be
able TO go anywhere In LuZon. The island
was always infested with bandits and was
never safe for Europeans TO travel I'm.
Probably after the end of the fighting the
highwaymen will be more numerous be-
cause the members OF Aguinaldo's army,
who have lived for years with guns in
their hands have acquired a taste for bush
life and would rather continue as high
waymen than return TO work"
