The following dispatch from Wash
ington is characteristic:
A remarkable feature Of the news
today at the War Department was
that there was no disposition among
the War Department olicials to give
Funston credit for his deed OF dar-
ing. 1t will be recalled that all the
efforts of Funstop's friends recently
failed TO get him Brigadier. Gep-
eralship, and this, it was said, was
largely due to the persistently hos
tile attitude OF the War Department
officials. That attitude was re-empha
sized today before tho eulogy of
General Macarthur had reached the
department. = ,r,
Some OF the officers here today
went so far as to say that Aguinaldo
must have oonniyed at his own cap
ture on the theory that be was i'm
pressed with McArthur's recent pro-.
clamation giving April 1st as the
date when the rebels should lay
down their arms. 1t was suggested
that Aguinaldo, with characteristic
shrewdness, had governed his own
surrender by the imposing fiction Of
Funston capture. I. was diff cult
for some army officers here to under
stand how Funston and a small band
could penetrate to Aguinaldo's
secret camp and carry out a hazard
fous ruse Other officers discussed
whether such was a legitimate act
of warfare. Judge Advocate g en-
eral Lieber who 10 an authority on
the government OF armies in the feld
aud whose father has written a

lar 10 Funst on's action. The exploit
might be classified as the work of q
