FUNSTON'S REPORT.
1t Deals with the Operations of the Twen-
tieth Kansas Regiment from Febru-
airy Until February 10.

Washington, May 2G.-Adit. Gen. Cor
bin has given out for publication the
report of Col. Frederick Funston, of
the Twentieth Kansas regiment, which
was an appendix to the report of Maj.
Gen. Macarthur. The report deals with
the operations of the Kansas regiment
from the beginning of the outbreak
February 4 until February 15 Col.
Funston confines himself generally to
rather dry statement of the daily
events of that period. Touching the
fight at Caloocan, he says that his out
posts were fired upon at ten 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
Maj. Whitman was taken i'll and re-
turned to Manila, where he was at the
date of the report. Being distant from
the insurgent trenches and barricades
only about $500 yards, the fire from
them was so calling that an advance
was imperative. Says Col. Funston:
81 ordered charge up the road and
through the gardens and bamboo
thfckets that fanked it. This charge,
which l led in person, was most gal
lantfy made, the men firing as
they advanced. The insurgents stood
until we were within go yards when
they gave way" During the 9th the
bodies of 81 insurgents were found and
buried. Col. Funston briefly describes
other actions in which his regiment
participated up to the 18th and in con-
clusion says: where everybody did so
well it is impossible to make distinc-
tions, but l wish to bring to your
notice the splendid conduct of Maj.
Wilder S. Metcalf who has been at my
right hand during the trying opera
tons of the past ten days"

Alabastine is a permanent coating
for walls and ceilings, designed to take
the place of kalsomines and wall pa
per. Alabastine sets with the wall. 1t,
is practically a stone cement, as hard
and smooth as paint but much less eX.
pensive, and is applied just as easily by
anyone. 1t can be mixed with either
cold or hot water, and applied with a.
kalsomine brush. 1t is clean, healthful,,
and economical. Every one of the
strong points of Alabastine, proved to
be such by the test of twenty years,
is picked up by every new manufac-
turer of ordinarykalsomine and claimed
for his goods. These claims are alb
surd on their face. Alabastine alone
can prove its durability by the test of

MEETING OF DEMOCRATS.
Committee in Session at st. Louis
to Discuss Party Policy.

st. Louis, May 26.-With % members
present in person, the democratic ma
tional committee went into secret SEES
sion at ten o'clock yesterday. EX-
Gov. Stone stated the object of the
meeting as set out in the call. He was
then elected chairman. Mr.. Walsh was
in his place rs secretary. j. NJ. Griffin,
of Pennsylvania, who was present as
proxy for Committeeman Harrity, of
that state, made total representation
of % states One by one the repre-
sentatives of the different states
outlined the conditions existing
at home and the reports were
accepted without recommendations
of any kind. Not one of the speakers
touched upon the trusts, Imperialism
or silver. After the committee had
been in session an hour Mr., Bryan was
introduced and made short address,
urging the members to look closely
after the organizations in their states,
and suggesting that strong efforts be
made to provide campaign fund for
the coming campaign. He made no
specific suggestions, merely talking in
general way regarding the great adj
vantage of organization.
Chairman Jones will be asked to call
a full meeting of the committee in
Chicago July 20. After the committee
adjourned yesterday Mr.. Bryan said it
was too early to discuss what action
will be taken regarding the platform,
but he was sure of one thing, and that
is that silver will not be relegated to
the background. EX-Gov. Altgeld eX-
pressed similar views. Notwithstand-
ing the statements of Mr.. Bryan and
Mr. Altgeld it cannot be gainsaid
that there is strong under current
of feeling among the members of the
national committee that silver should
not be given the exceedingly promi-
nent place that it held in the last cam
paign. 1t may be one of the leading
features of the platform, but they de-
clare openly that they think there are
other things that should be given as
much Importance in the declaration of
the party as silver and one of these
that finds the most favor with them is
"anti-trust.
