FILIPINO PAPERS.
An Interesting ana Important Dis
cOyery Made by General Funston.

Vancouver. B. c., June S.-A copy of
the Manila Times received by the Idzu-
ma Maru tells of an important discovery
of insurgent documents and other articles
which had been hidden by the Filipinos.
1t says:
ION May General Funston was max
ing personal reconnaissance with Is
troopers in the direction of Bongabon and
Pontabagan. up the Rio Grande de Pa
papamnga, when he discovered a perpen-
dicuar ladder leading up cliff crowned
with dense forest. Beside the ladder
hung rope, which, when pulled, rang an
alarm bell in the woods back of the prec-
ipice.
"The general and his men ascended the
ladder and found 80 or 40 large wooden
cases crammed full of state documents,
comprising most of the archives of the
government. There were other things,
saved from the wreck of Malolos-about
1000 Hotchkiss shells, a quantity of dy-
Mantle, Il stock of bombs and much other
ammunition, 200 pounds of black gun
powder, office furniture from the Malolos
audencia, carpets. chairs, tables and a
lot of miscellaneous goods of no special
Importance.
"The documents were the principal
prize. After as good an inspection as
circumstances permitted General Fun
ston set aside several tons of useless rub
bish and burned it on the spot, saving
the state papers. These comprise all the,
correspondence of Aguinado and his chief
official from the time of the earliest deal
ings with Dewey down to the hurried
migration from Malolos. (Archives sub
sequent TO that date We're, it will be re-
mcmbered, taken at Tarlac in the middle
of last year, There are letters to and
from Widman and Dewey. besides sew
cral business firms in Manila. Aguinal-
dos own letter book, giving press copies
of everything he wrote, is also there. 1t
is rumored that the correspondence
shows some firms in Manila to have had
relations with the rebels, heretofore un-
suspected"
