Vickeburg sailed from Manilla an r
tha night ot March 8tb with (Jleo.
Fun at on, accompanied bv his par t
ty of scout 8, and a nativa com pa c
ny of soldiers on board. i
On March 13lb, at 9 o'elock in t
i
the norning, tha Vicksburg, with i
her lights covered. ran in shnra *
25 miles south of Casiguran ia tha I
province of Principe. A landing (
was affected aad tha party march- j
ad overland to Sasiguran. It was t
explained to tha natives of this *
town that tha Americans had baan <
surprised and captured and as
prisoners of tha maurrection were <
being carried to Aguinaldo. By 1
this treachery all ?i spicion was t
. destroyed.
The further details of Aguiual- I
do's capture was planned at this i
place Letters ware sent to the (
rebel chieftain explaining that
Geneial Funston and other promi- <
nent Americans were prisocers, {
arid would be brought by hasty i
marches te his headquarters at
Palanan. For thraa days, at
Caeiguran, General Funston and
his companions wars kept in
prison closely guarded, in order
to deceive the natives.
On the morning of March 17th
the Americans, under an apparent
strong guard, were taken from
their temporary prison and the
natives set off with them in the
direction of Palanan, 90 miles.
The route lay through flooding
rivers and dangerous mountains.
The party suflered great hardships
en route and after seven days
hard marehing, camp was struck
within eight mi.'es of Palanan.
Because of the impoverished condition
of the men it was necessary
to send to Aguinaldo's camp for
food.
The men subsisted for the whole
week upon a limited quantity of
crushed corn, shell fish and herbs.
Aguinaldo received the couriers
hospitably, dispatched supplies .
I
and directed that the American ,
prisoners be treated with every j
consideration due their rank. %
On the morning of March 23, |
Funston, surrounded by his native j
troeps, ' began to march toward (
Palanan. A short distance from
the town the column was met by
the staff officet s of Aguinaldo and ,
the detachment of his body guard |
which was ordered to take charge
of the Americans.
Aguinaldo's household troops,
50 men in neat uniforms of blue
and white, and wearing straw hats,
lined up to receive the newcomers.
General Funston's men crossed the 1
river in small boats, formed on I
the banks and marched to the '
right and then in front of the in. (
surgent grenadiers The Tags- 1
logs sntered the house where Ag 1
uinsldo was.
Suddenly, the Spanish officer,
noticing that Aguinalda's aid was
i watching the Americans suspii
ciously, exclaimed : "Now, Mac
cabees, go for them !"
The Maccabees opened fire, but
their aim was rather ineffective
and only three insurgents were
killed. The rebels returned the
i tire. On hearing the tiring, Aguinaldo,
who evidently thought
his men were merely celebrating
the arrival of reinforcements, ran
to the window and ahoutsd :
"tttop that foolishness ! Quit
wasting ammunition !"
Hilario Placido, one of the Tag^
alog officers, and a former insurgent
major, who was weunded in
the lung by the tire of the Kansan
regiment in the batile of Caloncan,
threw his arms around Ag.
uinaldo, exclaiming :
"iouare a prisoner of the
Americans."
When the firing began General
uaaton assumed command and
irectad *ha attack on the houae,
eraoaally assisting in the capture
f AguinaUlo. Tha insurgent
?ody guard fled, leanng 30 riflaa.
Santiago Barcelona, the insurgent
reasurer, surrendered without
osistance.
Whin captured Aguiualdo wai
remendousl* excited, hut he
:almed down under General Fun
iton's assurance!) that he would
)e well treated. General'Funston
tecured all of Aguinaldo's correipondence,
showing that he had
tept in close touch with the suh~
hiefs of the iasurrection in all
>artu of the archipelago. It was
ilso dis?ovired that Aguioaldo,
Jaauary 28, had declared hinswelf
iictator.
Aguinaldo admitted that he had
;ome near to be>ug captured he
cor?, hut he asserted that he had
lever been wounded, adding :
"1 should never hate been ta?tn
except by a stratagem. 1
was completely deceived by La:uaa's
forged signature."

ihayings and oil aBd fired on the
legro inmates as they fled. Baker
was killed first. The wife, who
followed, carried a baby in her
irm, and a bullet which snapped
ier arm, ploughed into the infant's
head and killed it. Four chil
Iren were wounded.
The department of justice at
Washington ordered the arrest

Junior Seest-or Will Land a Charleston
Ex bi bit?Practical
Politica.
A special dispatch to the Naws
and Courier from R M Lamar, its
Washington correspondent, says :
There is a possibility that the
government will b? represented at
the Charleston exposition, notwithstanding
the failure of C?e?
gross to pass the Tillman hill providing
for an appropriation of
$250,000. Sanator VIcLaurin has
bit upon a practical schema to
have the g vernment exhibit,
which is now being prepared for
the Buffalo exposition, also die
played at Charleston. Senator
McCaurin has been at work on this
project fer some time past and today
called at the White House,
accompanied by Senator Hanna!
and Senator Pritehard of North
t
Carolina and presented the case to
the President in an attractive
form The position ts that aU
: though ao special appropriation
; has been made for the Charleston
exposition it may be feasible,
under existing circumstances,to
I assure by executive order, or
Otherwise, authority to have the
government exhibits now being
prepared bv the agricultural department,
for the Buffalo en*
terprise, transferred to Charles,
ton at the conclusion of that exposition.
Senator McLaurin urg%
ed that the Buffalo exposition will
hay# ended before the Charleston
exposition opens. Instead of ha v.
ing the government exhibits returned
immediately to Washington
they may be shipped to Char
leston and displayed there whila
the latter exposition continuaa.?
The proposition appeared to irru
praaa the Praaidant favorably, and
Senator McLaurm'a statements
were reinforced by Senators Hanna
and Pritcbard At the conclusion
of the interview the Praaidant
expressed a friendly disposition
towards the Charleston enterprise
and stated that , he would take
pleasure in having the subject
thoroughly investigated, so that
if it is possible to find in the law,
rules, regulations or practice anything
to justify er permit transferring
the exhibit to Charleston
it will be cheerfully done. The
president added that he w uld
1 take particular pains to bring the
1 matter to the attention of Secretaries
Wilson and Hitchcock at tomorrow's
cabinet meeting, and
1 expressed the hope that the way
1 may be opened to grant Senator
McLaurin's appeal. It is well
known that Secretary W ilson
earnestly desired to here an imposing
government exhibit at the
Charleston exposition, and he exerted
himself in behalf of the Til I,
man bill while the subject was under
consideration in congress. If
there is any way by which the expense
of the transfer and care of
I it while in Charleston can be pro,
vided for under existing law it is
safe to assume that Secretary Wnsoi
can be relied upon to lend his
| valuable aid. Senator McLaurin
| is conscious of having made an
i effort at any rate, and it was to
give an additional force to bis re
! quest that he invited Ibenators
' Hanna and Pritchard to accorapa.
' ny him to the White house.

Columbia, April 3.?The Stats
board of pension commissionere
has been hard at work for several
days. The applications are being
much more thoroughly examined
than heretofore and every case,
especially in Class A and Class B,
is being carefully scrutinized.
The board consists of Messrs

class from wounds or paralysis
have been changed, as the facts
set forth oid not seem to warrant
the classification made.
The pension board has now
been at work for twe days and it
will probably take a day or two
longer to go carefully over the
entire work.
The .returns as far as made up
show that there are about a thonsand
less pensioners this year than
there were last year. This is due
to the necessity of having new
applications and the strictness of
the rules under the recent Act of
the General Assembly, and tkn
requirements that there must be
witnesses wno knew of their own
knowledge that the applicants or
their husbands served in the (Jonfederate
array.
Just as soon as the State board
weeds the applicants down for
final acceptance and turns them
over to the clerk of the depart
ment, the papers will be classified
and checks sent out for the entire
pension fund.
