THE WASHINGTON LETTER

(From Our Regular CoFrespondent)
wAsHNeToN, d, C.. April /, 1901.
President Mckinley is delighted
with the recent news from the Phil
ippines. including the gallant and
daring capture of Aguinaldo, by
Gen. Fred Funston and the contin
ned surrender of Filipino officers
and men as weil as the rapid prog
ress Of the establishing Of civil gov
ernment in the various provinces by
the Taft commission 1t looks as
though peace and prosperity we're
ahead Of the Philippines, and that
both would come much sooner than
the most sanFuine would have pre-
dicted q few weeks ago. President
Mckinley promptly assured Senator
Burton and Representatives Curtis
and Long, of Kansas. that Gen. Fun
ston's good work should be reward.
cd, and as promptly made him a
Brigadisr General in the regular
army. although that action Of the
President did not meet the approv-
al of some Of the army fossils who
say that Gen. Funston is too young
20 be a Brigadier General in the reg
ular army-he is only s5. The an
swer to that argument is that Fun
ston earned his commission as Brig.
adler General Of Volunteers by his
bravery and gallantry, and that
now he has earned a similar COM
mission as a regular what man IS
old enough to earn, he is old enough
70 have. To properly reward him
was TO encourage future Funstons to
perform gallant deeds when the oc-
casion for them arises.
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1901-04-05

The insinuation that the President
and Secretary Root were not dis
posed TO give Gen, Funston proper
credit for capturing Aguinaldo, is
fully answered by Funston's pro-
motion, and by the following cable
gram sent to Gen. Mac Arthur, by
Adjutant General Corbin: THE
President instructs me to express his
high appreciation of the gallant
conduct of Gen. Funston and of the
officers and men OF the army and
navy engaged with him in the Pal
Hnan expedition. The Secretary OF
War personally joins in this express
sion"

Much clap trap has been sentfrom
Washington about the President and
Cabinet worrying over what shall
be done with Aguinaldo. Nothing
could be- further from the truth.
There has been no worry and no oc.
casion for any. Aguinaldo is pris-
oner Of war and as such is likely tc
receive the same kind treatment
given others from time to time cap
tured. Whether he will be allowed
TO recover his liberty by taking the
oath Of allegiance TO the U. s. OF
will be kept in confinement in the
philippines or elsewhere, will de-
pend largely upon future recon
mendations will doubtless be in
huenced by the attitude of Aguin-
aldo himself toward American rule
on the islands. There is nothing in
the situation TO cause any worry in
Washington, or elsewhere.
