s.|FSSseSVts i ''''
Manila, March 24.-General Funston
is now engaged in a daring project
which promises to be the greatest and
most romantic achievement of his
eventful career. In January, from his
hiding place in the province of Isa-
bella, Aguinaldo wrote letters ana
thematizing the sub-chiefs who had
taken the oath of allegiance to the
United States. Later Aguinaldo or
dered insurgent forces in Southern
Luzon to join him at a rendezvous in
Isabella province. The rebel officer
entrusted with these orders secretly
negotiated with the Americans. On
securing information General Funston
planned Aguinaldo's capture and with
General MacArthur's authorization
General Funston proceeded two weeks
ago to make the attempt. General
Funston, with Surgeon Major Harris,
Captain Newton of the Thfrty-fourth
infantry, Lieutenant Admire of the
Twenty-second infantry, Lieutenant
Mitchell of the Fortieth infantry, six
veteran scouts and a company of ma
tive scouts, all picked men, embarked
on the gunboat Vicksburg and were
landed on remote beach above Ba-
leo. 1t was arranged that Aguinaldo's
emissaries with the native scouts
should pass themselves off as insur-
gent troops who, having captured Gen
eral Funston and others were taking
them as prisoners to Aguinaldo. At
the right time, when brought before
Aguinaldo, General Funston was to
give signal, when the tables were
to be turned and Aguinaldo was to be
seized. Six days. march into the in
terror were contemplated. Treachery
was considered possible, but every
precaution was taken. The troops in
New Viscaya and New Ecija and the
gunboats Vicksburg and Albany were
to cooperate with General Funston's
force

Johnson expressed eminent satisfac-

This exodus, he added, was being slim

military CONSUMPTION about to be es-
tablished in their native country.
They desire to leave before the new
