FUNSTON THE HERO.
He Penetrates the Interior of the Phil
 ippines and Captures AguinaIdo.

A Washington dispatch dated March 2S, says: Press reports of the capture of AgIinaldo by General Funston are confirmed by General McArthur in the following cablegram to the war department: "Gen. Funs- ton has just returned from an expedi- to Palanan, province of Isabella, where he captured Aguinaldo who is now in our possession at Malacanan.' Malacanan is General McArthur's headquarters and his residence is Manila.
 Washington. March 2S. The presi- dent and army officials were very much gratifed at the capture of Aguinaldo. Secretary Long is of the opinion that it will terminate the war. It is a remarkable tribute to the dar- ing and resourcefulness of General Funston, that long before he made the attempt, he was selected by the authorities at Washington as an officer who might accomplish it. It was Funston's intention some time ago to return to the United States, but by direction of the war department, he was detained in the Philippines in the hope that just this contingency might afford the opportunity to test his powers. It is expected that Funston will be rewarded with a commission in the regular army.

Flags are flying every where and the citizens are giving un- restrained vent to their enthusiasm over the Kansas soldiers achievement. A local paper says: "There is nobody like Fred Funston.

IMPORTANT TO LITIGANTS.
They May Hereafter Select the News paper for the Publication of all
 Legal Notices.

The law governing the publication of summons and sherif's sales has heretofore been construed to give the sheriff the authority of designating the paper in which such publication should be made and personal requests for their publication in certain papers have been ignored in spite of the fact that the litigant paid for the publica' tion. The recent legislature passed a law which provides that parties who pay for such notices may have them published ill the paper of their choice It reads as follows:
 "All county and other officers re- quired by law to give notice of any matter pertaining to or pending in their respective offices shall publish all such notices in some newspaper published in their respective counties, provided, that wheE the cost of such publication shall not be county charge the party at whose cost the said publication is made may desig- nate the newspaper in which said pub lication shall be made, and may con tract with the paper so designated for the payment of the cost of the said publication"

Will Build to Oil Fields.

The preliminary arrangements have been completed and President Beal of the Sunset Railroad company is authority for the statement that work on the new line is to commence at once on the branch road to the oil fields. There are few, if any, to doubt that the road would eventually be built, but it is all the more gratify- ing to learn that dust will soon be moving and that before many months pass by the road will be in operation and the product of its great wells moving to market. The development work already performed proves that the district is extensive and the fact that it is to be provided with rail transportation signifies that there will be some lively work in those parts. It will mean the rapid development of considerable portion of the terri tory and big increase in the out put of oil from Kern county.
 The company has considerable ma terial at Gosford for the new road and will have the balance on hand by the time it is required.-Bakersfield Echo.

Judge Andrews a Candidate.

Judge H. T. Andrews has yielded to the pressure brought to bear upon him by the business men and tax payers of Prescott and has decided to make the race for school trustee. The announcement that he had declined to become a candidate was premature.
 His decision in this matter will be hailed with satisfaction by a great many people, who do not desire to see a change in the board at the present time, while the erection of a school building is in progress. The plans
 and specifications for the building have been gotten up for and adopted
 by the present board and the mem bers are thoroughly familiar with all the details of it. In addition to this the schools have been very success fully managed by the present board.

GEN. FUNTcN's ACT OF HERolsM.

The details of the expedition, plannedand carnedout by Gen. Funs- ton. which resulted iu the capture of Aguinaldo, reads more like fiction than real facts. It shows the daring and intrepid character of the man, as the chances were largely in favor of failure It took them six days to march fromthe coast to the hiding place of the willy Filipino, and on their arrival there they were confronted by a larger force than that accompanying General Funston. In addition to this there was also the possibility of treach- cry on the part of some of those under General Funston's command. The detection of a single one could have leopardized the lives of the entire force, which at best only amounted to between twenty and thirty men, while Aguinaldo's body guard, alone, con sisted of forty men. The brave officers and Filipino scouts who accompanied Funston are worthy of the highest praise for their fidelity and bravery, and should receive fitting recognition from the government. Never since the day that Dewey destroyed the Spanish feet at Manila has such a dar- ingg and successful coup been planned in connection with the Filipino out break as this one of the big, little man from Kansas.
 It is stated that when he was col onel of the twentieth Kansas regiment he planned the capture of Aguinaldo, but on account of the scarcity of men General McArthur could not sanction il. It was just after the battle of Caloocan, when the Filipinos were routed, and when Aguinaldo and others retreated to town on a penin- sula jutting out to the sea, and which was reached by stone bridge. Colonel Funston went to General McArthur and ask d for 100 men saying that with that number he could rush across this bridge before the Filippinoes could recover from the confusion caused by their defeat at Csloocan, capture the town and secure Aguinaldo. Gen. McArthur replied: q know you can if any body could, but I cannot spare the men,"
 Politics make strange bedfellows," it is said, and it may now be added that the e1igencies of war also do. Among the officers selected by Gen. Funston to accompany him was a former officer of the Filipino army, and who had been shot through the lung by Funston's Kansas men in the battle of Caloocan. Another of them was an ex-Spanish officer, who had re- sisted the Americans in the capture of the Philippine islands. It was the former who entered the house where Aguinaldo was and who threw his arms about him effecting his capture and in doing so was compelled to shoot member of Aguinaldo's staff, and it was the Spaniard who gave the command to the Maccabebe scouts. to open fire on Aguinaldo's men.

In New Quarters.

The Prescott Title company moved into their new and elegant quarters in the new Bank of Arizona building, Saturday, being the first of the occu- pants of the new building to do so. This firm was the very last to leave the old building, leaving only as the wor&men were tearing it down.
 The room to be occupied by this firm is the northwest corner of the basement, facing on Cortez and Cur ley.street, the entrance being from the street at the corner of the build ing, the room having been arranged especially for their purposes and and needs, with a large fire and bur glar proof vault 13Ix6I, furnishing an ideal place for keeping the many i'm portant books and papers of the com pany. This vault is lighted by elec- tricity and protected by the very latest and best steel doors. The in terior of the room will be we'll ar ranged in every particular for con venience and to allow of the work to be done on shortest notice, a feature this company brides themselves on.
 The manager, z. O. Brown, has se- cured the little frame building in the lot near the Congress House, formerly occupied by Willard 6S Son, architects, fer their office, and will fix it up for a blue print room, to be used ex- clusively for that purpose.
 J. J. Fisher, the surveyor, will also have his office in the room occupied by the Prescott Title company.
 It is safe to say that there is not an abstract office in the territory better or fitted out either for work or quarters than the Prescott Tritle

OUR INCORPORATION LAWS.

The Los Angeles Times, in recent editorial, attacks the Arizona incor. poration law passed by the recent legislature. It was no doubt inspired Tn Its action by misleading telegram recently sent from Phenix, in refer to the law. The Times says:
 "The Arizona law, easy as it was has been supplanted by one which lets down the bars still farther. A dispatch from Phenix announces that the governor has affixed his signature to a bill concerning corporations des. tined to become more famous than the New Jersey corporation law. In cooperating hereafter may be done cheaper under the laws of Arizona than in any other state or territory in the country. The incorporators, di- rectors and stockholders may be non- residents, but resident agent is re- qulred to accept service of summons. Private property, under the new law. IS exempt from corporation debts and stock may be non-assessable."
 If the editor of the Times will take the trouble to read the old law on i'm corporations, which has been in force Tn this territory since 1887, and then compare it with the new law enacted by the recent legislature, he will dis cover that the two acts are practically the same. There has been very little change made in the law and none of material character. Simmered down to logical conclusion the only point made by the Times article is that 1t is cheaper to incorporate ln this territory than elsewhere. while the law also offers better protection to the masses of the stockholders. No attempt is made to show that the stockholders are not fully protected as far as 1t Is possible to do so. in the Arizona law, and this is its strong fea- ture in addition to the minimum cost at which interpretations can be effect ed. These features of the Arizona law have induced many companies operating in California to incorporate
 
 under the laws of this territory. The feature of the law which provides for a resident agent in the territory has been in force prior to the last legisla- ture. While any company incorpor- ated under the laws of Arizona may transact its business outside of the territory, it must have an agent in this territory, upon whom any legal process may be served.

Political Double Shume.

Our contemporary fires broadside at the double shuffie politician in its issue this morning. It is not known at what particular one it was aimed, but it fits some alleged republican would be grafters that we are ac- quainted with, and is as follows:
 "A man who expects to be a party leader must be true to his party. He can't work one side of the political fence in the 'iay time and the other side after dark. He can't keep on working one side in public and the other side in private office. This double shuffie in politics may win once in a while, but it is not d steady win ner. When the fooled people all find out that they have been fooled, they get mad. and they never get over it. They never forget it, and they are right about it."

The Oil Excitement.

The oil excitement is spreading and the whole country is being covered with placer locations covering sup posed oil land. The first locations were made in Mineral Point district, east of Jerome Junction. Locations now extend down Lonesome valley as far as the Agua Fria and up and into Yaeger canyon.
 Prospectors have now crossed the mountains and are at work in the Verde valley. It is claimed that oil indications have been discovered near D. J. Marr's place, and the story of the discovery as told by the Jerome News is as follows:
 "A gentleman who had for years worked in the oil fields of Pennsylva- mia, successfully, came into the valley for his health, and while driving along the roads discovered what he called Pennsylvania oil rock To show his confidence in the indications, he at once located a number of claims, and his discovery being communicated to a Prescott lawyer who is interested in oil, that gentleman proceeded to the valley, and thought so much of the ground that he located a number of claims. For years, old timers tell us, there has been talk of oil in that neighborhood; that there are places along the Verde river where the oil seeps from its banks. They say that the ground will be thoroughly tested during the coming summer"

OFFICIALS BELIEVE WOOD
WAS MISQUOTED.
ACTION OF CONGRESS FINAL
Governments Attitude Toward
the Cubans Will Not Be
Amended.

Washington, March 5-No credence
is given here in official circles to the
report from Havana that General
Wood has informed the. members Of
the Cuban constitutional convention
that the declaration of congress as
contained in the Platt amendment to
the army appropriation bill is merely
a basis for further negotiations as to
the relations between the United
States and Cuba, and that the rejec-
tion of the amendment by the conven-
tion would be followed by the econ
vening of the American congress in
special session.
There is authority for the statement
that the remarks attributed to General
Wood are contrary to the view OF the
matter held by the principle officers
of the administration. Briefly stated,
the expectation lin Washington is that
the Cuban convention will accept the
conditions laid down by the Ameri-
can congress eventually, if not in the
immediate future. And that the
Cuban delegates will be given to
understand that the action of congress
was final, having been taken after
thorough consideration of the subject
and that that action is not likely to be
modified, or amended by that body,
even if called together again express
~ for that purpose, except in the
event of the development of a radi-
cal and unlocked for change in the
situation.
AS one official expressed it, the &C
ton Of congress on the Cuban question
was taken with the view to obviating
an extra session of congress, as we'll
as to acquaint the Cuban convention
with what was expected of it. He
said that the declaration of congress
will stand until the convention is
ready to act in accordance Herewith,
otherwise the existing military govern
ment will continue in power at least
until December next, when congress
reassembles in regular session, and the
Cuban question can be again teken up
for such legislation as may seem to be
necessary.
