Gen. Frederick Funston's pursuit and
capture of Aguinald0 was the most dar-
ing of the many daring exploits to the
credit of the Kansas warrior. So dan
gerous did Funston's project seem that
Gen. Macarthur consented to allow him
to carry it out only after considerable
demur. Gen. Funston penetrated to the
fugitive chieftain's hiding place in the
role of a prisoner He had picked out
a company of trusted natives As Eel
low prisoners" he selected Capt. John
Newton of the Thirty-fourth volunteer
infantry, Lieut.. AdeIite of the Twenty
second infantry, Lieut.. Mitchell of the
Fortieth volunteers and Surgeon Major
Harris. Gen. Funston was warned of
the risk, but replied he could trust the
natives be had picked out He fully
coached them upon the part they were TO
play in carrying him and his army COM
panions TO Aguinaldo, how they were to
pretend the Americans were prisoners,
and how, when Gen. Funston gave the
signal, they were to seize the Filipino
chief and carry him to the coast.
Gen. Funston is direct descendant of
Daniel Boone, and has led an adyentur-
"
walk He has been reporter. editor, bot
anist, explorer, trapper, insurgent and
soldier. He has fought Spaniards I'M
der the torrid zone and battled with death
in the arctic. He has tramped Alaska
in snow shoes in 4 temperature 30 de-
grees below zero, and slept on the bum
ing sands of Death Valley.
Moved by the eutrages upon the Gu
bans. he went to the island in 1895 and
Joined the insurgents. His fighting abb
ity speedily inspired the Spaniards with
fear aud respect for him. Eventually
he was captured and sent TO this country
under parole. When the Spanish-Ameri-
can war broke out he was made colonel
of a Kansas regiment, and was soon in
the thick of the fray.
Perhaps his most spectacular feat pre-
vious 10 his capture Of AguiuaIdo was
performed in the Philippines. where, at
the head of twenty daring volunteers. he
swan the Bagbag river at Malolos under
ire and captured seventy insurgents. He
was the first man 10 enter Ial0los.
His splendid courage ard work in the
Philippines brought speedy recognition
from the United States government. and
he has been promoted until he Is now
bricadier general. As leader Of the fam
