Funston say that he is not by nature

from his capture of AguinaldO and
that when he was shown the cable

nouncing his appointment as a briga-
dieT general he expressed astonish-
ment that his exploit should have led
the president TO accord him such
recognition. At that time. it is said,
he was making arrangements to get
out of the army, his intention then
being TO accept a proposition of
large business concern to represent
it in the Philippines. The promotion
for the time being, of course, divert
ed his attention from such plans.
The offer is said TO have been re-

him a much larger salary than that
