WHAT FUNSTON FOUND.
Graphic Story of How the &c neral and His
Men Scaled "A Mountain Cuff and
Their Discovery.

Vancouver, B. c., June "a copy
of the Manila Times received by the
Idzuna Maru tells of an important dis
covery of insurgent documents and
other articles which had been hidden
by the Filipinos. 1t says:
On May 2, Gen. Funston was making a
personal reconnaissance with IS troopers
in the direction of Bongabon and Ponta-
when he discovered a perpendicular lad
dense forest. Beside the ladder hung a
rope which, when pulled, rang an alarm
bell in the woods back of the precipice.
The general and his men assembled the
ladder and found 80 or 40 large wooden
cases crammed full of state documents,
comprising mostly archives of the rebel
government There were other things
saved from the wreck of MaloIos, about
1000 Hotchkiss shells, a quantity of dy-
Mantle, a 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 whole cache was fngeniously hid
den among the trees in the ravine and
rooted over heavily with nipa to an I'M
usual thickness. The structure made
quite a big warehouse, with not an inch
of space vacant. It was found, later,
that there were other approaches to the
cache just like the one discovered, with
alarm bells everywhere.

IT'S A THRILLING STORY.
Capt. Day Tells How Thirty Oae Ameri-
cans at CAtubiG Held 500 FIIipinos
at Bay for Four DAYS.

Washington, June 10.-Perhaps the
most thrilling and picturesque Incl
dent of the entire Philippine war oc-
CURED at Catubig, on the island of
Samar, where, on April Is, last, a
party of 81 enlisted men of company
K, Forty-third infantry, volunteers,
held at bay force of some GOO in
surgents during four days of fierce
fighting, reinforcements arriving just
in the nick of time. The war depart
ment has received reports from Capt
III. NJ. Day, of the Forty-third volun-
teer infantry, and First Lieut.. J. T.
Sweeney, of that regiment, who com
manded the rescue party, giving all
the details of the attack, the siege and
the relief. The story follows:
The attack on the garrison began with
out warning on Sunday morning, April Is.
From the hills all sides, from every
point of vantage in the town and from
deserted church, directly adjoining, came
a rifle and cannon fire of terrible inten-
sity. On Tuesday morning handfuls of
burning hemp We're thrown into the bar
racks by the insurgents in the church ami
soon the soldiers refuge was on fire. All
efforts to subdue the fire failed, and, fl
nally, the little band made a dash for the
river bank. Some were killed before the
bank was reached, others fell dead in
boat in which it was intended to make the
opposite shore, and, when a trench was
finally dug with bayonets, only 16 of the
81 were left to man it. Here for two
more days Corporal Carson, handling his
men with the judgment of a veteran, held
out under a terrible fire until Lieut..
Sweeney's command, which had been or
dered to supplement the garrison at Cat
ubig, and which was on its way up the
river on the steamer Lao-Aug, arrived.
Not until within a quarter of a mile of
Catubig did they hear the noise of the
enga cement. Then he realized that he
and his men were sorely needed and he
ordered the captain of the steamer to run
his boat at top speed. The Lao-Aug
steamed up to Catubig under a rain of
Mauser bullets from both shores. The
small boats were lowered, a landing eff
fected and the rescuers fought their way
through the open to their besieged COM
rades in the trenches, buried the dead
within reach, brought back to the boat
the besieged party, numbering now only
ID men, and then steamed down the river

A SECRET ORGANIZATION.
Filipino Junta at Manila Has Formed a
Society Which Amounts Almost to
a Government.

Manila, May 13.-[Correspondence
CT the Associated Press. eff we were
fighting an army the work would be
comparatively easy" said Gen. Mac
Arthur, in speaking of the situation
which confronted him when he as
sumed the office of governor general.
The report had come from Gen.
Young that Tinio and Aguinaldo were
gathering a force in the Benguet
mountains where they had been
hunted and scattered five months be-
fore. The military were hoping that
Tinio would form another army, be-
cause an army can be located and fol-
lowed, and if it will try to make
stand can be defeated, but such good
fortune is improbable. What Gen.
Macarthur has to fight is a secret or
ganiZatiOn which amounts almost to
government, which exercises power to
some extent and enforces it's DEGREES
over all of Luzon and most of the
other islands, which collects taxes
here in Manila and even gives re-
ceipts for duties paid on the cargo
and of native boats passing up the
rivers in the suburbs.
