FUNSTON REWARDED
Kansan Who Captured AguinaldO
Gets a Much-Coveted Star.
Brigadier General In the Regular Army Is
the Reward President Mckinley Be-
slows for the Daring PrOject-PIans
Regarding AguinaIdO.

Washington, April Funston has
come into his own. The president, at
ten o'clock Saturday night, after a
conference with Secretary Root and
Adjt. Gen. Corbin, decided to pro-
mote the Kansan at once. These ap-
pointments were announced: To be
major general, United States army,
Brig. Gen. Lloyd Wheaton, vice Miles,
promoted lieutenant general; to be
brigadier generals in the United
States army, Col. Jacob II. Smith,
Seventeenth United States infantry,
brigadier general volunteers, vice
Daggett, retired; Brig. Gen. Frederick
Funston United States volunteers,
promoted. Gen. Macarthur was no.
titled of these appointments in a
cablegram.
Gen. Wheaton was lieutenant col
oneI of the Twentieth infantry, with
station at Fort Leavenworth, when
the Spanish war broke out. Gen.
Funston served in his division for
months during the Philippine cam
paign. Funston proposed his plan of
capture of Aguinaldo to Wheaton, his
immediate commander, and the two
proposition.
Gen. Funston's remarkable exploit
in. capturing Aguinaldo has taken a
stronger hold upon the popular i'm
agination than any other marked
event of the Philippine war, only eX-
cepting Admiral Dewey's stroke in
Manila harbor. Hobson's bold at
tempt to seal Santiago harbor is held
in all quarters to be wholly overshad-
owed by Funston's long, swift and Sc
cret march over mountains and
through jungles into the heart of the
enemy's country, boldly planned and
admirably conducted in all its vicis-
STUDIES and crowned with complete
success, whereas Hobson's scheme
was failure through nisapprehen-
sion of certain facts or the inadequacy
of the means chosen to accomplish his
purpose. No detail necessary to Fun
ston's success was overlooked.
The Plans Regarding AguinaldO.
Washington, April If Emilio
Aguinaldo has violated any of the
laws of war, and declines to take the
oath of allegiance to the United
States, he will be tried by military
commission, to be appointed by Maj
Gen. Macarthur. This is the impor-
tant feature of instructions sent by
Secretary Root to Gen. Macarthur re-
garding the disposition to be made OF
the prisoner. Gen. Macarthur will
make no bargain with Aguinaldo, Civ
ing him freedom in return for aid in
establishing recognition of American
sovereignty.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1901-04-02

andN their willingness to go into the
hearAof Aguinaldo's stronghold indi-
Gated that in their own minds they
felt that there was no longer any
real danger to be unprecedented from
AguinaIdo's strength. That such a
sentiment had obtained hold among
the Filipinos, was in the judgment of
Secretary Long, significant evidence
that the instruction had lost it's vi
tally among the people themselves.
Secretary Long was asked what
would be done with Aguinaldo. cit
is little early to say" responded
the secretary, and then after a pause
he added, smilingIy: 81 should say
that he should be spanked with a
shingle." This idea as to the treat
ment to be accorded Aguinaldo seems
to be the one most generally accepted
among officials, and while the sugges-
ton of spanking is used in a figura-
tive sense, there is no suggestion in
any quarter that he will meet with
that vigorous punishment at times adj

AGUINALDO A PRISONER.

They exhibited Gen. Funston and the
other Americans as their prisoners.
The insurgent preHidente of Casiguran
believed the story. Two of the Lacuna
letters, previously concocted, were for
pwarded to Aguinaldo at Palanan, prov
lnce or Isabella. Gen. Funston and the
others were kept imprisoned for three
days, surreptitiousiy giving orders at
night. On the morning of March II, TAXI
ing small quantity of cracked corn, the
party started on a 90-mile march to Pal
anan. They marched seven days and
nights and on March % had reached a
point eight miles from Palanan. On the
morning of March % the advance was
resumed. The column was met by the
staff officers of Aguinaldo and a detach-
ment of Aguinaido's body guard, which
VSas ordered to take charge of the Ameri-
cans.
While one of the ex-insurgent officers
conversed with Aguinaldo's aide, another,
a Spaniard, sent a courier to warn Gen.
Funson and the rest who, with IL Maca-
bebes, were about an hour behind. Hav-
ing received this warning, Gen. Funston
avoided Aguinaldo's detachment and

Sensational Developments Likely

Commissary Omcer Charged with
Leading Immoral Life.

Manila, April Interest in the
capture and fate of Aguinaldo is well
nigh overshadowed in Manila by SEN
sational developments, present and
prospective. of frauds in the commits
sary department. How widely these
extend has not yet been ascertained,
but enough is already known to JUS
tify the belief that they are far-reach-
ing.
Capt. Frederick J.. Barrows, of the
Thirteenth volunteer infantry, quar-
termaster of the department of south
ern Luzon, together with seven COM
missary sergeants, several civilian
clerks, a prominent government con-
tractor, the assistant manager of the
Hotel Oriente, the proprietors of
three of the largest bakeries in Ma
Mia, number of storel1eepers and
other persons, have been arrested.
The investigation has scarcely begun,
but thousands of sacks of flour, a
quantity of bacon and wagon loads of
other goods, all bearing government
marks, have been found in the pos
session of unauthorized persons.
It is alleged that the contractor in
question, who has been doing a bust
ness approximating 100000 per
month, has-spent huge sums in enter
tanning officers.
A prominent commissary officer is
accused of leading a scandalously i'm
moral life 1t is asserted that large
quantities of stores have been lost or
stolen in transit and also that there
is shortage in the commissary depot.
New scandals are developed daily.
Illicit transactions have been traced
back to June, 1900, and it is possible
that there are others of earlier date.

1ected by the authorities here as the
officer who might accept If. It was
the intention of Gen. Funston some
time ago to return to the United
States, but by direction of the war de-
partment he was detained in the Phil
ippines in the hope that just such e
contingency as did arise should give
him the opportunity to test his
prowess. Both the president and war
department were fully informed of
the trap laid to capture the insurgent
chief and the result of the expedition
has been anxious1y awaited for sew
eral days.
In cabinet circles Gen. Funston's
exploit was referred to in laudatory
terms and the probable effect it will
have on the termination of hostilities
in the Philippines is being generally
discussed. Secretary Long expressed
the prevailing sentiment. He nat
ura1ly was much gratified at the Off
cia1 confirmation of Aguinaldo's cap
ture and of the assistance that the
navy had been able to render Gen.
Funston in facilitating his exploits.
The capture itself was of much i'm
portance, he said, but he suggested
that the moral effect probably would
count quite as much as the bri1liancy
of the exploit. He considered it one
of the most significant features of the
affair that the natives themselves had
been instrumental in bringing about
the capture. They had made up
considerable part of Funston's force
