plies, and there was no medical care
for the sick and wounded.
About twenty of the unfortunates
died daily druing the months of April
and May, and matters became still
worse when the terrible Siberian sum
mer began. An epidemic of typhoid
and swamp-fever broke out and the
death rate more than doubled.
Tn August conditions became a lit
tie better, but up to October /, when
at last received notice that my ex-
change had been agreed upon and
was started on my way to Jakutsk and
Europe. over 5000 of the prisoners
had died. n
Fifteen hundred others were In
hopeless condition. and / fear that
few OF them are alive today"
"And Shiganska is not the worst
hell in Siberia" DIR. Meyberg says in
conclusion. From prisoners whom I
met on my journey to the Rumanian
frontier / learned that conditions are
still worse in some of the other prison
camps. I repeat that when the war
ends and the exchange of prisoners
begins. II will be found that not 80
per cent of the soldiers and civilians
sent to Siberia are alive"

HOW. FUNSTON CAPTURED
AGU|AALO0 RECALLED
Around the Island In Vain for
Long Time Until Caught

Major-General Frederick Funston.
then Colonel Funston, first focused
the eyes of the country upon him
when he captured. in a daring and
clever manner. the Philippine leader.
Aguinaldo, fifteen years ago.
The Little Corsican" had been
chased about the islands In vain for
a long time until Funston finally net
ted him.
Aguinaido. who at that time was
about thirty-eight years old. came in
to fame In 1896 when he led a revolt
against Spanish rule. He continued
his insurgency when the United States
conquered Spain, and kept the Amer
lean army busy from the time of it's
occupation of the islands until his
capture. Until General Funston went
after him. Aguinaldo escaped all traps
so easily that 1t began to be whispered
he bore a charmed life.
Early in March, 1901. General Fun
ston. with a small force of trusted
men. left Manila to capture Aguinal-
do. who was reported in hiding in the
province OF 1sbeila, Island OF LuZon.
Funston's party landed at Belar. 1t
was arranged that Funston's party
should be captured by band of
natives led by Hiiario. who had been
one of Auginaldo's officers. but who
had turned on him.
After a long journey by water and
through swamp-covered lands, HiIario
and hts prisoners reached Aguin-
aldos hiding place. The insurgent
leader was surrounded by a body
guard of about forty men, but at a
pre-arranged signal Hilario's men
opened fire. dispensing the guard
Hilario himself threw his arms about
Aguinaido and told him he was a
prisoner of the Americans This was
on March %.
Five days later the United States
gunboat vicksburg, with General
Funston and Aguinaldo aboard, ar
rived at Manila. News of the capture
of the insurgent leader was hailed
with delight at Washington. With
Aguinaldo's capture the insurEent
movement In the islands practically
died out.
