Details of the Daring Expedition
Which Took AguinaIdo In.
Manila, March 2S.-GeneraI Frederick
Funston, who on March % captured
General Emilio Aguinaldo, when inter
viewed today by the representative of
the Associated Press made the following
statement concerning the capture of the
Filipino leader:
1.-The confidential agent of AguinaldO
arrived February % at Pantabangan
in the province of Nueva Ecija, northern
LuzOn, with letters dated January IL,
II and IA. These letters were from
Emilio AguinaldO, and directed Baldo-
nero AguinaldO to take command OF
the provinces OF central LuzOn, supple
menting General Alejandrno. Emilio
AguinaldO also ordered that 400 men be
sent him at once, saying that the bearer
OF the letters would guide these men to
where AguinaldO was"
General Funston secured the CORE
spondence OF Aguinaldo's agent and laid
his plans accordingly Some months
previously he had captured the camp of
the insurgent general, Lacuna, inciden-
tally obtaining Lacuna's seal, his papers
and quantity OF signed correspondence
From this material two letters we're con-
structed, Ostensbly from Lacuna to
AguinaldO. One of these contained in
formation as to the progress of the war.
The other asserted that pursuant to
orders received from Baldomero Agui-
naldo, Lacuna was sending his best com
pany to Presidente Emilio Aguinaldo.
The Expedition ORGANIZED.
His plans completed and approved
General Funston came to Manila and
organized his expedition, selecting rs
Maccabebes. all of whom spoke Tagalog
tuently. Twenty wore insurgent uni
forms and the Others tbe dress of Fill
pino laborers. This Maccabebe com
pany, armed with so Mausers, eight
Remingtons and 10 Krag-Jorgensens,
was commanded by Captain Russell T.
Hazard of the Eleventh United States
volunteer cavalry. With him was his
brother, Lieutenant Oliver P. NJ Haz-
zard, OF the same regiment. Captain
Harry W. Newton, Thirty-fourth in,
fantry, because of his familiarity with
Casiguan bay, and Lieutenant Burton J
Mitchell, Fortieth infantry, went as Gen
eral FunstOn's aides These we're the
| only Americans accompanying the
| leader OF the expedition With the
Maccabebes we're four ex-insurgent off
GERS, one being Spaniard and the other
three Tagalos, whom General Funston
trusted implicitly.
General Funston and the officers wore
| plain blue shirts and khaki trousers
| Each carried a half blanket, but wore
no insignia of rank. The Maccabebes
were carefully instructed to obey the
orders OF the four insurgent officers.
Sneaked Up On Them
On the night of March 8 the party EN-
barked on the United States gunboat
Vicksburg. It was originally intended
to take cascoes from the island of Pc
lilo and drift to the mainland, but {
storm arose and three OF the cascoet

of the United States.

VI bhC
Washington, April 2.-General Mac
Arthur cabled the war department that
AgulnaldO had subscribed to the oath OF
allegiance, after Investigating conditions
throughout the archipelago. He relied
almost entirely upon the instructive ad-
vice OF Chief Justice AreIlano. Follow
ing is the oath:
Il hereby renOunce all allegiance tn
any and all sO-called revolutionary gov
ernments in the Philippine islands, and
recognize and accept the supreme
authority OF the United States of Amer
lea therein. | do sOlemnly swear that |
will bear true faith and allegiance to
that government; that will at all times
conduct myself as a faithful and law
abiding citizen of the said islands. and
viii not, either directly or indirectly,
hold correspondence with, or give inteIIi
gence to, an enemy of the United States
nor Will abet, harbOr or protect such
enemy; that | impose upon myself these
voluntary obligations without any men
tai reservations or purpose of evasion,
so help me God"

Notwithstanding the taking of the
oath by Aguinaldo, he still will be held
as prisoner by General Macarthur. 1t
is possible ne may be granted more lib
erty of action, but he will not be afforded
complete freedom for the present. The
action of Aguinaldo in taking the oath
it is believed at the war department will
have far reaching effect in the pacifca-
tiOn of the islands.
