THE LATEST
DISPATCHES

WASHINGTON, March 29-The
Kansas Congressional delegation has
decided to urge the President to APP
point General Funston a brigadier gem
eral in the regular army as a reward
for his daring capture of Aguinaldo.
This afternoon Senator Burton and
Representatives Long and Curtis, the
only members of the delegation In the
city, will call upon the President for
that purpose. The members OF the
Kansas delegation do not consider that
a brigadier generalship will be too
great reward for General Funston's
exploit, and point to General MacAr-
thurs recommendation that he be APP
pointed to that grade as a reward for
the great service he has rendered the
government. They are exceedingly
warm in their praise of General Mac
arthur for giving the entire credit of
the expedition to Funston. In view or
his recommendation they do not believe
( that the President will hesitate to be-
stow upon the gallant Kansan the star
he has won.
They would not be surprised, how
ever, if considerable opposition TO
giving Funston brigadler generalship
should develop at the War Depart

but there would naturally be opposi-

grade of brigadier general, and the
Kansas delegation recognize this fact.

THE LATEST DISPATCHES.
PARIS, March 29.-An interview
with Regidor Jubado, who claims to be
the Filipino agent in Europe, is pub
lished here. He says he has received
the following cablegram from New
York:
According to precise information
| the man captured is not President
Aguinaldo, chief of the general staff
and Emilio's cousin"
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The fol-
lowing cablegram was received at the
Navy Department this morning from
Admiral Remey;
"CAVITE, March z9.-Bureau of
Navigation, Washington Macarthur

| WASHINGTON, March 29.-Another
| important dispatch was received at the
| War Department today from General
| Macarthur at Manila, date today. 1t
did not refer to Aguinaldo or Funston,
but in the opinion of the War Depart
ment officials, it went far to support
the prediction made by General Mac
! Arthur in yesterdays dispatch relat-
ing to those two leaders, to the effect
| that the end of the rebellion is near at
| hand. This dispatch chronicles the
surrender of considerable number of
rebels and military arms, and the i'm
portant feature of it is that the sur
render marks the complete stamping
| out of the insurrection in the island of
Mindanao, which is next to Luzon, the
| largest island in the group. The dis
patch is as follows:
MANILA, March 29-Brigadier Gen
eral William A Kobb reports surren-
der Sumulao. Mindanao, 9 officers, $50
men, 1877 rifles, so shotguns, Capis-
trano's command. This ends trouble
