To Determine china's Resources.

A committee of commissioners has
been appointed to discover China's re-
sources and report on her ability to pay
the indemnity to be demanded by the
powers. Many ministers are strongly
opposed to China's having to pay to
keep an army of from 10000 to $4,000
men there for the next two years,
thinking this entirely unnecessary.
Even those ministers who were in Pc
kin during the siege are tired of seeing
Pekin a military camp. They hope
China will be put upon her feet as soon
as possible.

General Funston on - Daring and Romantic
Expedition.
General Funston is now engaged in
daring project, which promises to be
the greatest and most romantic achieve
ment of his eventful career.
In January, from his hiding place in
the province of Isabella, Aguinaldo
wrote letters anathematizng the sub.
chiefs who had taken the oath of ale
glance to the United States.
Later, Aguinaldo ordered insurgent
forces in southern Luzon to join him at
rendezvous in Isabella province. The
rebel officer intrusted with these orders
secretly negotiated with the Ameri-
cans.
On securing necessary information,
General Funston planned Aguinaldo's
capture, and with General MacArthur's
authorization, General Funston pro-
ceeded two weeks ago to make the at
tempt.
General Funston, with Surgeon-Ma-
jor Harris, Captain Newton of the
Thirty-fourth infantry, Lieutenant
Adaire of the Twenty y-second infantry,
Lieutenant Mitchell of the Forteth in
fantry, six veteran scouts and COM
pany of native scouts, all picked men,
embarked on the gunboat Vicksburg
and were landed on remote beach
above Baler.
1t was arranged that Aguinaldo's
emissary, with the native scouts, should
pass themselves off as insurgent troops.
who, having captured General Funston
and others, were taking them as pris-
oners to Aguinaldo.
At the right time, when brought be-
fore Aguinaldo, General Funston was
to give a signal, when the tables were
to be turned and Aguinaldo was to be
seized. Six days march into the inter-
ior were contemplated. Treachery
was considered possible, but every pre-
caution was taken.
