 Guthrie. o. T.. March Ex-Governor " F.. Stanley of Kansas, who was the guest of honor al a banquet here last night. was awakened early this morn ing in his rooms at the Royal hotel and told that General Funston had cap tured Aguinaldo. He said:
 'I am very glad, l am sure, to hear the news. 1 am more than glad to know that kanSan was the lnStru- ment in securing this man. It was q great deed. Kansas has had many un- kind remarks at her expense recently and 1 hope that those who have made them will now have words of praise for onr state on account of Funston'S exploit. His adventure was watched with interest and much anticipation, and the successful termnatiO of the enterprise will cause rejoicing not only in Kansas but over our entire nItlOn.

General Trias. who sur rendered q few days ago, was more Important to my mind than any of the other fellows. The F'ilIpinos have come to appreciate that hero who hides out in the bushes and keeps away from the front as much as pos sible. is not much of q hero, and AS ;:inaldo has lost his old time prestige
 NOW I hope to hear of the capture CT surrender of General Cailles. He has more Influence and following than Asninaldo. Whether he is captured or snrrenders, the insurrection is near an cnd."
 The expedition to capture the irsur- gent chief was planned some time ago. Last January. from his hiding place tn Isabella province, AguinaldO wrote letters anathematiZing the sub-chiefs who had taken the oath of allegiance to the United States. Aguinaldo after ward ordered certain insurgent forces in Southern LuZon to join him at his -rendeZvous.f
 The rebel officer intrusted with these orders secretly negotiated with the Americans. On securing necessary in- formation, General Funston planned Aguinaldo'S capture, and with General MacArthur's authorization, he pro- ceeded two weeks ago to make the attempt
