Philippines and started an insurrec-
ton against the new rulers of the
islands.
There was constant fighting
throughout 1899 and 1900 but always
Aguinaldo, the leader of the insur-
rectos, eluded capture. During 1900
he apparently gave up the struggle,
but in January, 1901, he ordered
the insurgent forces in southern Luz
ION to join him at his rendezvous
In the province of Isabella.
However, the messenger to whom
he entrusted this order, surrendered
to the Americans in February and,
upon securing the information as to
Aguinaldo's whereabouts, Funston
determined upon a daring plan to
capture the Filipino leader.

ed on a beach south of Casiguran in
the province Of Principe on March
Is, 1901. Aguinaldo's messenger also
went with the expedition and he and
the Macabebe scouts were to pass
themselves off as a detachment of
insurgent Tagalogs who had cap
tured the five Americans and were
taking them as prisoners to Agui-
naldo. After marching seven days
and nights, the party reached a point
eight miles from Palanan, Aguinal-
dos hiding place.
A message, stamped with the seal
Of General Lacuna, was sent for
ward to Aguinaldo and prompt re-
spouse was received, welcoming the
party. The Americans and their fake
Tagalogs FASTENED forward.
Funston entrusted the actual cap
ture to a Spaniard, Iazaro Segovia,
and detachment of the scouts. The
story, as Funston told it later, fol-
lows:
Running up the bank toward the
house, we were met by Segovia, who
came running out, his face aglow
with eXultation and his clothes spat-
tered with the blood of the men he
had wounded. He called out in Span

I'VE FASTENED into the house and

telling him that we were officers Of
the American army, that the men
with us we're our troops, and not
his, and that he was a prisoner Of
war. He was given assurance that
he need fear no bad treatment.
He said, in a dazed sort of way:
Is this not some joker I assured
him that it was not, though, as a
matter Of fact, it was a pretty bad
one on him"
In after years Aguinaldo was loud
in his praise of Funston for the au-
dacity and skill of his plan, saying
that only by the stratagem used
could he have been captured. The
former leader of the Filipino insur-
rectos later took the oath of ale
glance to the United States and be-

STRANGE GOINGS-ON

Way back in the year 1900, the
he-men of the day could tote along
a sack of fine-cut tobacco in their
pocket without causing so much
comment from the women of the
house. It was mans choice and
a package of "eatin' tobacco" on
the hip, was acceptable and to be
freely enjoyed. It was consumed in
such quantity to figure over two
pounds a head a day. That was in
1900 when the fellow who used
cigarettes was digging his own
grave, for the chap who used those
"coffin-nails" wasn't the hardy in
dividual the chewer was. But who
could hit bulls eye with mouth
full of cigarette? 1900 was a great
day for the chaw in the jaw. Only
about two ounces of tobacco per per-
son went into cigarettes that year.
But then began the decline of "eatin'
tobacco" and today cigarettes have
climbed to amount to four pounds
person and that is lot of smok-
ing in any league. But here is a
fact for you old-time chewers-
America consumes forty million
pounds of snuff a year and this is
80 times more than in 1870. Shades
Of our departed ancestors!
