FILIPINOS USE LESS OPIUM. Habit Chocked, Consumption Reduced, Says Government Report. Washington.-Consumption of opium among the Filipinos has been compite ly checked, if not entirely eradicated. says a report to Brigadier General Niv Intyre, chief of the bureau of iu.ui h:r affairs, from the collector of intern IH revenue in the Philippines. le that as a result of laws on the sub "the use of opium is now confined to comparatively small number of e firmed users of the drug, practcall% ' of whom are Chinese. who cannot N up the vice and who wiil go tc, :m length to obtain it." While there are in many parts of C C islands scatiering Instances where FE pinos still indulge in the use of opium it is reported that less than 5 per e' of the former Filipino users, who i numbered 40,000 in 190, were still viV tims of the vice in 1911 and that si-t then conditions in Manila have great!' G improved. Conditions in the provinr at are said to be fairly satisfactory. ci "It is perhaps too much," the rer:o says. "t suspecf that the opium evi! al will ever be absolutely suppressed in hi the Pbiippine Islands. It- may be s,i.l. however, that almost without exce h tion Chinese users of opium in any of its forms are today using a much smoll- ni er amount ih that used by the ::n oersons a fev years ago This i shown by the conpa:rative ease which Chinese users sent to the ho-j cc tal todav a-e cured.

Within fifteen (Lys w eighteen lions were baiged. includiu1 rn the largest specimen ever seen in this fr region. The hunt is going on by per- hi mission of the government. w The largest lion was jumped at a point near Gardiner and led the hunt ers and dogs a chase of forty-five miles before it was killed near the starting point. The method pursued in hunting the lions is to trail a beast to a tree or tsome spot where he seeks safety after 'esperately trying to outwit the pack of dogs chasing him.

The rhllowing is is recorc: Fighting Fred Funston is senior brigadier-general of the American army. although he is now oni foriy-nine . year. old and did not enter the regular armv until 1901. He came into the regular establishment w'h the rank he now holds, his coi mission having been given by President McKinley in appr:ecia tion of his remarkable feat in capturing. almiost single-handed.

Before he engyaged in the enterprise he had been for about vears a soldier in the Cuban army of liberation. and so big a factor was he in the warfare that "Butcher" Weyler. the Spanish generalissim, set a prize upon his head. Funston is a product of the Uni;:ersity of Kansas. After his student days he became a news paper mar. then entered the service of the United States de partment of agriculture and was sent to Alaska to study the flora. He showed the stuff of which he is made in floating down the Yukon alone in a canoe in '93. He was wounded ten times in battle. During his Cuban ex perience he took part in twenty one engagements and he kept that pace after entering the American volunteers. Once he was arrested in Cuba by Span iards as he was try;ng to reach thiesea coast. He represented himself as a deserter irom the patriot army having swallowed his passport. wocih indicated his rank. He was conden.ned to death. but eventually was liber ated and got back to this coun try. His Kansas regiment was as signed to Philippine duty and on his way he met and married his pr-esent wife, in San Francisco. He joined Gen. Merritt before Manila. which he aided in re-. ducing. Leading the pursuit of Aguir3aldo in April, 1899, he came to the Murilac river, on 1 the other side of which was a considerable force of the enemy. ~ The bridge had been destroyed. but Funston, with twenty of the rnany men who volunteered,( swamn the river, drove the hos-" tiles back and took eighty pris oners. A few days later he crossed the Rio Grande at Caumpit on a raft and drove the enemy. 2.500 strong. from an entrenched position. This feat won his brigadiership of volunteers. It was in 1901 that he made his big mark' From his hiding~ place in the Province of Isabella, Aguinaldo had called the insur gents to rendezvous near his headquarters. F unston captur-: ed the messenger who carried this command' He and several comrades made their way through the thick of a hostile country with eighty Cacabebes, who passed as insurgent Taga logs who had captured the Amer icans. Word was sent to Aguin aldo and orders were given for the prisoners to be brought to him. Before the strategy was sus pected Funston had entered the. rebel's house and3 taken him prisoner. That act broke the* neck of the insurrection and* peace neigotia-tions were at once begun. Funstcn is a little man. with a limp, a memento of several wounds. He possesses a bub bling sernse of humor.
