GENERAL FUNSTON'S
DARING ENTERPRISE

Manila, March 25.-General Funston
Is now engaged in a daring project
which promises to be the greatest ana
most romantic achievement of his
eventful career. In January, from his
hiding place in the province of Isabella,
Aguinaldo wrote letters anathematiz-
ing the sub-chiefs who had taken the
oath of allegiance to the United states.
Later Agrinaldo ordered insurgent
forces in southern Luzon to join him
ut II rendezvous in Isabella province.
The rebel officer intrusted with these
orders secretly negotiated with the
Americans. On securing necessary in
formation, General Funston planned
AguinaldO's capture, and, with General
MacArthur's authorization. General
Funston proceeded two weeks ago to
make the attempt. With Surgeon Ma
jor Harris. Captain Newton of the
Thirty-fourth infantry. Lieutenant Ad-
mire of the Twenty-second infantry,
Lieutenant Mitchell of the FOrtieth in
fantry, six veteran scouts and com
pany of native scouts. all picked men,
he embarked on the gunboat Vicksburg
and was landed on n remote beach
above Baler.
It was arranged that AGuinaldo's
emissary and the native scouts should
pass themselves Off as insurgent troops,

and others, We're taking them as pris-
oners to Aguinaldo. At the right time.

about the market for hog products for
several days was diverted from pork
and fastened on the big deal In ribs
which Armour & Co. are credited with
having under way.
The Armour purchases OF May ribs
during the day amounted to over
100000 pounds, which comes near
the limit for the supply in the city

tracts. Under their active buying and
covering by shorts the price advanced

of an increase in the stock supply.

OIL EXCITEMENT AT
EVANSTON WYOMING

Cheyenne, wyo.. March 23.-(Denver
Republican special.j-Colonel +. NJ.
Foote of Evanston to-day stated thar
the oil excitement near Evanston is at
fever heat. over GIL square miles of
oil land has been taken up during the
past few days, since the Union Pacific
struck n flow of oil while drilling for
water.
The larger tracts of land are held by
Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake parties,
although residents of Evanston and
the vicinity have not been slow to sec
the advantage of securing oil land and
have filed on small tracts.
Colonel Foote states that the oil
from the well being driven by the rail-
road company is high-grade lubricat-
ing article and is valued at about s.
per barrel. The flow Is continuous and
with little more boring, 1t is be-
lieved,. the well will be gusher.
Experienced oil men are coming in
from all parts OF the country, but
more especially from the California
and Pennsylvania fields. All pro-
nounce the oil near Evanston of won
derful richness and all say the indi-
cations are that southwestern Wyom-
ing will soon have one of the largest
and richest oil sections In the coun-

WONDERFUL INCREASE in
NATIONAL BANK ASSETS

New York, March 23.-A special
from Washington to the Herald says:
The controller of the currency will
soon publish complete statement
from all national banks in the United
States As this is made in answer to
the first call for 1901, the results are
being awaited with much interest. The
time between December 18th and Feb
ruary 9th, the date of the call. Is said
in industrial circles to be n dull sea-
son. But figures already obtained
FROM abstracts reflect surprisingly
large gains ms compared with the pre-
vlous statement, which was n record
breaker.
The aggregate resources of the 3S5
banks in New York state are S20J, 49,
556, which is S226,6O1 less than the
amount recorded December 18th, but is
substantially greater than the figures
of the first statement In 1900, which
did not reach the $500, 100000 mark.
The new statement show the amount
of Individual deposits of the Empire
state national banks, which Is consld-
cred the bankers barometer, to be
S123 1865, ,773. n gain of S9,694 ,4S6. The
fourty-four national banks In New
York City have total resources and in
dividual deposits of S1.255, ,Si7 ,ST7, and
1858, 150,65I respectively, which exceed
the preceding official figures by the
enormous sums of S4S4, 4,267,197 and
SS2,G49, 1913 respectively. The total re-
sources of the national banks in the
state are 81 .5O6. .63S, ,S55, while individ-
ual deposits amount to S7O2. .7O5, ,OO4. 1t
is estimated that the savings bank re-

The booty secured at Elbert is the
largest obtained in n safe robbery in

n comparatively easy task for the rob-
bers. They used dynamite. and dem
