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

Success of Hunt Conducted In the Yel
lowstone Park.
Gardiner. Mont.-One of the most p
unique hunts in h1story and one that is th
being conducted on a large scale is the to
mountain lion drive in the Yellowstone ta
National park. 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 lion then is

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

Twentieth lKansas among the
same kind of men foring the
the backbone of the Rough Rid
ers. 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. He is
now commanding the Second
divison of the army. with head
quarters at Texas City. Tex.. in
