STATEMENT BY ARCHBISHOP
Apostolic Delegate to Cuba, Porto
Rico ana Philippines Answers
General Funston.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Archbshop
Chapelle of New Orleans, apostolic dele
gate to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, today gave out the following state
ment to the Associated Press:
I'm answer to General Funstons state
ment, made in an address to the students
Of Stanford university, that IF congress
would drive out the friars and confiscate
every inch of church property in Luzon
tho bottom would drop out of the insurrec-
tion within one week, the inhabitants Of
Luzon are completely under the church, I
deem 1t proper TO make the following public
statement:
Knowing what do from the most reli-
able authority Of General Funston g
broadness and sense OF fairness, l do not
believe that he has been quoted correctly.
He may have stated that the insurgents
demand this as condition Of peace; but
that he gave them as his own sentiments
cannot credit. From my own experience
know how easily 1t is to be misquotei.
All l can say is, II General Funston did
make this statement he manifested a dense
ignorance of the work done by the religious
orders in the archipelago"

FUNSTON ACCEPTS THE SWORD
Report that He Did Not Utter Words
Inscribed on Blade Is Denied
by Kansas Colonel.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. ga Star special
from San Francisco says: General Funston
today in speaking of the Topeka report that
he would not accept the $1,000 sword which
the people of Kansas propose to give him
because Of the inscription. Until my regi-
ment is mustered out" on the blade, said:
II certainly do not intend to do any such
thing. | greatly appreciate the proposed pres
entation OF a sword from the people of my
state and the inscription is one Of which !
shall always be proud, / can see no other
reason why anyone should imagine that I
would not accept the sword with this in
scrlption other than that had not said the
words thus attributed to me. But did say
them and while / attached no great impor-
tance at the time to the expression, do not
want malicious liars to discredt me without
any opportunity to set myself right"
1t was the morning following the battle
of Caloocan, when the line was so attenu-
ated that General Macarthur was alarmed
for fear OF an attack. He sent to Colonel
Funston and asked him II he could hold the
lines in the event OF an attack. Until my
regiment is mustered out" replied Colonel
Funston.

PREPARING TO MEET RUSSIA
Some SideliEhts ON the Great War
Preparations Made by
England.

NEW YORK, Oct 23.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: Everybody Is
asking why an immense body of reinforce
ments Is going out when every bulletin Of
victory from Natal proves that a more mod
crate force would suffice That is mystery
as dense as London's black fog. There Is
glimmer Of light from Paris, where it is
rumored that the Russian troops will
occupy Herat prematurely with the ameer's
consent. Well informed men were asserting
last night that these vast preparations were
not meant as a grand parade, but were q
wise precaution, rendered necessary by the
possibility that Russia would take advantage
of the occasion and make another advance
on western Afgbanistan, where full control
could be secured over Persia. With a Brit
ish army corps on the ground of South
Africa, and in readiness for service in India
or Afghanistan, these witnesses were ready
to testify that Russia would not advance on
Herat. The magnitude of the British arma-
ments for campaign against the burghers
of the two petty republics is evidently Great
ing in Europe what Carlyle described as an
atmosphere electric with suspicion.
Those who are behind the scenes in Eu-
ropean diplomacy at the present moment and
well aware Of the intriguing now taking
place between France and Russia and the
intention, If possible to take advantage OF
Englands difficulties, very much doubt IL
the intrigues are checked by British sue.
cesses in Natal and on the western border OF
the Transvaal and the Free State. The
British government is perfectly informed of
what is passing and has not hesitated to
make very swift preparations, naval and
otherwise.
''The French Mediterranean fleet of six
battleships and several cruisers left for the
Levant, where it has not shown itself for
two years. This may or may not be
connected with the schemes above
noted. Nothing would be easier than
for the Russian Black sea fleet to
join it, passing through the Dardanelles.
The British channel squadron is moving to
Gibraltar and an ample convoy is being sent
with the British transports.
"The authorities at the various English
naval ports have been warned to be in read-
ness to send a strong squadron to sea, and
several cruisers are now only waiting an
order to mobilize. With the militia reserve
called out and the militia embodied never
was the British nation more ready"

POLITICIANS TIRE FUNSTON
He Grows Weary of Absurd Claims
Made by Political Leaders of
Sun1ower State.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 23.-A Star spe-
cial from San Francisco says:
General Frederick Funston in an interview
today said:
Il am getting tired Of the absurd claims
that are being made by certain politicians
of Kansas. Letters have been written me
by certain alleged political leaders claiming
credit for some order that has been of ad-
vantage to the regiment or to myself. They
claim credit for the order to go to Manila
and further assert that / owe my promotion
to brigadier general to their influence. it
is claimed that the regiment got it's orders
to como home through the influence of GER
tain politicians and now comes the absurd
report that if these same politicians had
not exerted mighty influence l would not
have been returned to Manila
"The fact of the matter is that the Kan
sas regiment would have rotted in the sand
lots at Camp Merritt, would never have
gone to Manila, would be in the Philippines
yet. / would still be a colonel and would
soon be private citizen, If it had depended
on the exertions or influence of these poll
ticians. The Kansas regiment was about
the last regiment to leave San Francisco and
was the last but two to leave Manila. A
whole acre Of political influence would
not have affected the order OF coming or 60
