Funston Engages in a Most
Daring Undertaking.
Aided by a Filipino Who Plays Aguinaldo False
He Sets Out TO Capture the TsgaI
Chieftain.
(By the Associated Press !

Manila, March 23--General Funston is
now engaged in a daring project which
promises TO be the greatest and most
romantic achievement of his eventful ca
reer.
In January, from his hiding place in
the Province of Isabella, Aguinaldo wrote
letters matchmaking the sub-chie
who had taken the oath of allegiance to
the United States. Later, Agulnaldo or
dered certain insurgent forces in South
ern Luzon to join him at rendezvous in
Isabella province. The rebel entrusted
with these orders secretly negotiated with
the Americans. On securing necessary
information General Funston planned
Aguinaldo's capture and, with General
MacArthurs authorization, proceeded
two weeks ago to make the attempt
General Funston, with Surgeon Major
Harris, Captain Newton, of the Thirty
fourth infantry; Lieutenant Admire, of
the Twenty second infantry; Lieutenant
Mitchell, of the Fortieth infantry; six
veteran scouts, and a company of native
scouts, all picked men, embarked on the
gunboat Vicksburg, and were landed on a
IGlllOlb DGdCH dDOYG. DdI6I. II was ar
ranged that Aguinaldo's emissary with
the native scouts should pass themselves
off as insurgent troops who having cap
tured General Funston and others were
taking them as prisoners to Aguinaldo.
At the right time, when brought be-
fore Agqinaldo General Funston was to
give a signal when the tables were to be
turned and Aguinaldo was to be seized.
Six days march into the interior was
contemplated. Treaehery was considered
possible but every precaution was taken.
The troops in New Viscaya and New Ecija
and the gunboats Vicksburg and Albany
were to cooperate with General Fun
ston's force The Vicksburg is expected
here tomorrow
Colonel Rosario, with ffty-one men and
fifty-six rifles, has surrendered to Colonel
Baldwin, of the Fourth infantry at San
Francisco de Malabon, Cavite Province
Lieutenant Deane, of Troop C, Sixth
cavalry, has engaged force of insurgents

Swells from The vale, and midway leaves
the storm,
Though round it's breast the rolling clouds
are spread,
Eternal sunshine settles on its head.
So amongst the great lawyers and
judges CT the State he rises, Mt. Mitchell
Ike, piercing the sky while many of
his grand companions rise in stately
grandeur around him.
He asked Senators to be careful in
coming to a verdict, and if they con-
demned to condemn only because the law
and the facts justified it.
Beware in pulling down, lest we do
like SamEson-destroy the temple and
annihilate the independence of the Su-
preme Judicial Tribunal of the State and
crush ourselves in the ruins. The life of
the State is stability and the perpetuity
OF our liberties and civilization are insep-
arably connected with. and dependent
upon an Independent Judiciary judic-
larry unawed by the vicsitudes of tenn
porary political power-unmoved by the
eXpedients which often follow political
revolutions-untr by unjust re-
straints and uninfluenced by the passion
for Innovation and instability, so common
in republican governments.
ut is true that all men are fallible-
that al human laws are unprecedented
all courts have erred 1t is only the
law of the Lord that is perfect 1t is
only the judgments of the Lord that
are true and righteous altogether Once
establish a precedent that judges are to
be impeached for mistakes or for expe-
diency or for any cause except for inn
peachable offence recognized nv the
laws, and we will have a judiciary of
truculent towards whose opinions will be
moulded to harmonic with the dominant
political sentiment Of the hour.
Senators, you hold in the balance a
mighty ISSUE If you solve it wisely you
will be the Generators of the Common
wealth. If you make a mistake the evil
will abide with us to plague US and fol-
ow US through many winding way and
lingering year
