FIRED" FUNSTON DIES
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

Funston had dropped dead In the lobby
Of the St Anthony Hotel, Col. Barnum
could hardly believe the report and Capt.
Lee was obliged to repeat the message
three times.
Col. Barnum then wired the Adjutant
General at Washington that Gen. Fun
ston had dropped dead shortly after
dinner held at a local hotel tonight He
also wired Maj. Gen. Pershing and other
army officers of the death OF Gen. Fun
stOn.
There are two theories regarding the
death of Gen. Funston. one is that death
was caused by heart failure and the other
and most probable theory is that acute
indigestion was the cause. Gen. Funston
had been suffering from acute indigestion
for the past few weeks and had been un-
able to see newspaper men on several oC-
Casions on account of this Illness, but as
the general would he absent one day on
account Of his illness and then appear the
next day, in good spirits, and apparently
good health. it was assumed his condf-
tiOn was not serious.
Gen Funston was very popular with
the army as well as the citizens of San
Antonio. Shortly after his death the
lobby of the hotel was crowded with
officers and citizens alike. Men stood
about in the lobby discussing his death
with tears in their eyes.

FRENCH SHIP SINKS
GERMAN SUBMARINE

New York. Feb. 19-Dcstruction of a
German submarine was reported by the
French steamer Guyane on her arrival
here today.
The Guyane left Bordeaux on January
q, and the next day German submarine
endeavored to Gloss her bow. but Capt.
Roussellot brought a gun to bear on the
submersible. The submarine in the mean
time fired three shots, all of which fell
short.
Two shots from the -millimeter gun
on the Guyane's stern struck the subma-
rine squarely, and she was seen to slowly
settle, and entirely disappeared within
thirty minutes.
A resolution was introduced in the
French Chamber of Deputies last week
providing that 100000 francs (about $780,
OCO) shall be paid the captain of any
allied or neutral merchant vessel who
succeeds in sinking a German submarine.
