GEN. FUNSTON NOT TO
BE INVESTIGATED AGAIN
He Has Already Been indicated, Accord
ing to the Secretary of War.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 24.-By di-
rection of the secretary of war, Judge Ad-
vocate General Days today addressed a
letter to Brig. Gen. Funston refusing his
request for court of inquiry to investi
gate his conduct in the Philippines. The
text of the letter is as follows
Il have to acknowledge the receipt of
your communication of the 18th ulti1no IN
which you request that a court of in
quiry be appointed to investigate certain
allegations contained in a letter addressed
to the president by Mr.. Herbert Welsh. of
Philadelphia, in which it is charged that
on or about Feb. 10. 1899, certain orders
in respect to the treatment of prisoners
or war were given by YOU
to the regiment of which you were at that
time the colonel: as a consequence of
which two prisoners of war were put to
death during an engagement with the
enemy at Caloocan, province of LuZon P.
I. by officers or enlisted men of the
Twentieth Kansas volunteers
The secretary of war directs me to eX-
press his satisfaction with your attitude
in respect to the above mentioned allie
cations as expressed in your urgent re-
quest that the incident be made the sub
ject of an exhaustive investigation He is
especially gratitied at the disposition man
ifested by you to waive all technicalities
which stand in the way of a thorough
inquiry and with the statement with
which you letter concludes that If a
court of inquiry finds that l gave any or
ders before the engagement at Cal0ocan
or before any other engagement in which
participated in the Philippine islands
that would justify the giving OF no quar-
ter. will at once resign my commission
in the United States army
The matter has already been made
the subject of official investigation upon
three separate occasions. No testimony
was elected showing or tending to show
that orders directing the killing of pris-
Oners of war had been given by YOU at
any time, or under any circumstances On
the contrary the evidence leaves no rea-
son for doubt that the charge was with
out foundation. The secretary is there
fore of opinion that the public interests
will not be served by further prosecu-
ton of the inquiry and directs that you
be so advised -
