nection with the charges that General
Funston had been guilty OF cruelty to
Filipinos. General Funston, in denying the
charges, said that II a court Of inquiry
found that he issued orders which would
justify the giving Of mo quarter to the
Filipinos, he would resign from the army.
The letter to the general says:
The matter has already been made the
subject of official investigation on three
separate occasions. In one of these. which
occupied sixteen days, an officer authorized
to administer oaths to witnesses and exer-
cising his authority wherever necessary ex-
amined over 200 witnesses. Neither in that
nor in any other investigation was there
any testimony showing or tending to show
that orders directing the killing of pris-
oners of war had been given. by you at any
time. On the contrary, the evidence leaves
without foundation. The secretary is there

not be served by a further prosecution of
the inquiry and directs that you be so ad-
Discuss island catholics.
Secretary Root and Rev. Edward J. Watt
mann, chaplain of the Twenty-ninth in
fantry, had an important conference today
concerning affairs in the Philippines.
While both parties to the conference
were reticent as to details, 1t is known that
1t related to the frlar question and to the
attitude Of the Catholic church toward the
"Americanizing'' of the islands.
More than q year ago, with the knowl-
edge and consent Of this government, Chap
lain Vattmann was directed by the author
titles of the Catholic church in the United
States to make a thorough investigation OF
church questions In the Philippines and to
report the result of his findings to the
Catholic hierarchy. This report was sub
mitted to the archbishops at their annual
meeting yesterday, but was not made public
and may not be for some time.
1t is known, however, that 1t covers ex-
haustively all phases OF Catholic church
questions in the Philippines, including the
fr:ar questions and the result Of what IL
popularity known as the "Aglipay move
ment." Aglipay is an insurgent priest whC
practically r%enounees the authority Of Rome
and has organized what he terms the phil
/ ippine Catholic church." Mr.. Vattmann re.
ports that while he does not incite oper
rebellion, Aglipay and his followers are no
only opposing the authority of the Roman
church in the islands, but also the estab'
lishment OF American rule,
A wide divergence of opinion developed
in the discussion by the a~rchbishops. B!
some It was urged that the Aglipay move
ment and all other controverted churcl
questions could be met best by placing
Catholic seminaries in the Philippines
under the control of American priests 81
that the native students would be inspired
by the highest ideals Of Americanism. B!
others 1t was maintained that 1t would b.
wiser to bring, bright, capable and zealou
native students to the United States, plac,
them in American seminaries and then re
turn them to the Philippines to direct tn
church education of other natives. NJ
conclusion ives reached. Executive actioi
concerning the matter will originate, neces
