tiers Encmy'x Country to Attempt
Capture of AEuinnldO

Manila, March 25.-Gen. Funston
Is now engaged in Il daring project
which promises to be the greatest
and most romantic achievement of
his cventful career. In January, from
his hiding place in the province of
isabella, Aguinaldo wrote letters
matchmaking the subchicfs who
had taken the oath of allegiance to
The United States. Later, Aguinaldo
ordered insurgent forces in southern
Lnzon to join him at rendezvous in
Isabella province. The rebel officer
intrusted with these orders secretly
negotiated with the Americans. On
securing necessary information Gen.
Funston planned Agunaldo's capture
and. with Gen. MacArthur's authors
>a,ion, Gen. Funston proceeded two
weeks ago to make the attempt.
Gen. Funston, with Surgeon Major
harris; Capt. Newton. of the Thirty
ourth infantry; Lieut.. Admire, Of
he Twcnty-second infantry; Lieut..
Mitchell, of the Fortieth infantry;
SIX veteran scouts and a company of
native scouts, all picked men, EN-.
barkcd on the gunboat Vicksburg
aud were landed on q remote beach
ahovc Haler.
1t was arranged that Aguinaldo's
'missary, with the native scouts,
-houd pass themselves off as insur-
'cnt troops who, having captured
'"n Funston and others, were taking
chem as prisoners to Aguinaldo.
At the right time, when brought be-
fore Aguinaldo, Gen. Funston was to
rive a signal, when the tables were to
y" turned and Aguinaldo was to be
seized. Six days march into the
Interior We're contemplated. Trcach-
cry was considered possible, but
very prccaution was taken. The
roops in New Vizcaya and New
l'ciia and the gunbcats Vicksburg
md Albany were to cooperate with
len. Funston's force. The Vicksburg
is expected here.
