These are the reports we received
by the mail:
MANILA, March 28-It appears
that the confidential agent OF Agui
naldo arrived February 2S.h at Pan
tabangan, in the province Of Nueva
Ecija, Northern Luzon, with letters
dated January 1lth, 18th and 14th.
These letters were from Erilio
Aguinaldo and directed Baldomero
Aguinaldo to take command of the
provinces of Central Luzon, supple
menting General Alejandrino. Emi-
lilo Aguinaldo also ordered that 400
men he sent him as soon as possible
saying that the bearer OF the letters
would guide the men to where
Aguinaldo was.
General Funston secured the cor
respondence of Aguinaldo's agent
and laid bis plans accordingly.
Some months previously he had
captured the camp OF the insurgept
General Lacuna, incidentally cb-
tanning Lacuna's seal Of the papers.
and aquantity of signed correspond
ence. From this M material two let
ters we're constructed, ostensibly
from Lacnna to Aguinaldo. Que Of
these contained information as to
the progress OF the war. The other
asserted that, pursuant to orders re.
ceived from Baldomero Agunaldo,
Lacuna was sending his best COM
pany to PresideIte Emilio Agui-
naldo.
1t wasn't very nice business
evidently if ths following report 10
correct: His plans completed and
approved, General Funston came to
Manila and organized his expedition,
selecting seventy-eight Maccabebes,
all of whom spoke Taealog fuently.
With the Maccabebes were four
ex-insurgent officers, one being a
Spaniard, aud the other three
Tagalos whom General Funston
trusted implicitly.

plthizsrs. Having arrived there,
the ex-insurgeut officers, ostensibly
commanding the party, announced
that they were on the way to join
Aguinaldo between Pautobang aud
Bsler; that they had surprised an
American surveying party and
that they had killed rum
ber, capturing five. They exhibl.ed
General Funston and the other
Americans as their prisoners.
The insurgent Presidente of CAST
guran believed the story. Two OF
the Lacuua letter., previously con-
cocted, we're forwarded to Aguinal-
do at Palanan, province of Isabella.

Have we not right here in Hawaii
set an example as to the feeling of
men who want to preserve the inde-
pendence OF their country? 1t is
true that we coulo not fight, as
Aguinaldo did, because we had been
debauched and effemina ed by the
men who made race OF warriors,
submissive by holding up to them
with gun) the teachir gs of Christ,
but the sympathy for the Philippin I,
leader should 60 forth to him from
every honest man. We regret that
he wasn't shot in open battle or
after court martial decision, We
deplore that his fate is still in abey-
auce aud we suggest that he shall
be sent TO OAhu Jail to e1pia.e his
awful crimes.
