HOW AGUINALDo WAS TAKEN
Gen. Funston Gives New Version Of
the Affair,

Manila dispatches received at the head
quarters OF the department of Colorado
state that Hilary Placido, Filipino who
aided General Funston In the capture of
Aguinaldo, has been sentenced to life i'm
prisonment for murder. Details of the
crime are lacking, but General Funston
and other army officers here who knew the
scout believe that the crime was committed
since they left the island, as 1t does not
seem probable that Placido could have been
called to account for something done dur
ing the time he was engaged as an active
participant in the revolution
said:
He was never my spy, and the on,v
money he ever received from the United
states was for the part he took in the cap
ture of Aguinaldo. He fought against the
Spaniards and then took up arms against
the United States. In 1899 he was severely
wounded, being shot through the lung He
recovered, and again took an active part
IN the war The following year he sur
rendered at the same time that General
Garcia did
He was a prisoner for about three
months and then 1 released him. He took
the oath of allegiance, and oftent:mes OF
MS own volition gave me information regard
ing the enemy. He was not spy in the
sense of the word that he was in the gov
ernment's employ, nor. did he ever go into
their lines for information for our use
WHeH arranged the plan for the cap
ture Of Aguinaldo took Placido along. He
did not know the object of the expedition
until We were well under way. I then ex-
planned my plan to him and he agreed TO
help me. In order to carry out the scheme
he became the nominal commander of the
expedition. as 1t was necessary to make
the natives believe that we Americans were
prisoners. When we reached the camp OF
Aguinaldo, Placido rushed In and threw
his former chief the floor of the hut
and held him there until We made him a
prisoner. For his part in this work he was
paid by the government"

A Prosperous Year.
The year that has just closed has been
prosperous one in the real estate market.
and that, too, without any notable specu-
lative movements or any especially large
transactions involving extensive improve
ments and changes. In fact, the market
has in most of it's features been common
place, and it has been difficult to realize at
times the degree of the activity that has
prevailed. The year will be recognized as
one of unusual interest in the building rec
ord, not merely from the number of new
structures that have been put up and the
money that has been invested, but from the
ease and readiness with which these adj
ditions to the living accommodations of the
city have been absorbed.
There is no question but that the growth
of the population during the past twelve
months has been notable phase of the
material development CT the city. 1t is this
fact which has resulted in so much building
for people found that &he new apartment
houses were occupied soon as erected
without emptying those already in use, and
that the new houses were also In demand,
and so they were encouraged to keep on
adding to the number of apartment houses
and private residences.
