AGUINALBO CAPTURED BY AMERICANS IN HIS HOME BEFORE BODY GUARD. Gen. Funston Tells the Story of Capture of Filipino Chief at His Headquarters. Very Daring Enterprise. Four Americans Acted Part of Prissoners to Ninety Native Scouts. Manila, March 28 ?Aguinaldo, who was captured by Gen. Funston and brought to Manila on the United States gunboat Vieksburg, was brought ashore at 3:10 p. m. today and taken before Gen. Mac Arthur at the Malacanang palace. He talked freely, but seemed ignorant concerning recent events. He appeared to be in good health and was very cheerful. He lunched with the officers of Gen. Mac-Arthur's staff and was then escorted to the Anua street jail. Aguinaldo's capture was attended with considerable difficulty, an insurgent ratjor being killed at the time of the event. Twenty rifles and a number of important papers were captured. Gen. Fred Funston, who, March ! 23, csptured Emilio Aguinaldo, when interviewed today by the representative of the Associated Press, made the following statement concerning the capture of the Filipino leader: The confidential ageDt of Aguinaldo arrived February 28, at Pantabaugan, in the prove of Nueva Ec j t, northern Luzon, with letter?, dated January 11, 12 and 14. These letter s were from Emilio Aguinaldo and directed Baldormero Aguinaldo to take command of the provinces of 1 Central Luzon, supplanting Gen. Alt-jandrino. Emilio Aguinaldo also j ordered that four hundred men be j sent him as soon as possible, saying j that the bearer of the letter would lead these men to where Aguinaldo was. Gen. Funston secured the correspondence of AguinalJo's agent and | laid his plari9 accordingly. Some j months previously he had captured I the insurgent Gen. Lacuna, incident- j ally obtaining Lacuna's seal, cffieial ! papers, and a quantity of signed i correspondence. From this material j two letters were constructed, osten- j sibly from Lacuna to Aguinaido. One of these contained information as to the progress of the war. The other asserted that, pursuant to \ orders received from Paldortnero j Aguinaldo, Lacuna was sending his beet company to Presidente Emilio ! Agumuiao. His plans completed and approved, I | Gen. Funston came to Manila and | | organized his expedition, selecting ; | 73 Macabebes, all o? whom spoke | | Tagalo fluently. Twenty wore in- | surgents' uniforms and the others the clothiDg of Filipino laborers. I The Macabeb cnmpaDy, armed with i ! oO Mausers, 18 R-mingtocs and 10 | Krag JorgeDsens, was commande d ; j by Capt. Russell T Hazzard of the ! 18th U. S volunteer cavalry. With | i him was his brother, Lieut. Oiiver ? -- ? , f- 31 liazzarcJ, or toe same regiment. i Capt. Harry W. Newton, 34th infan- I try, was taken because of bis famil- ' BBaBBBBBBBSl^nBSaraBSaZXG k!. i c > f TXT. ^y: 1620 MAIN STJ Jpj Solicits a S U iarity with Casiguran bay, and Lieut Burton J. Mitchell, of the 40:h infantry, went as Gen. Funston's aide. These were the only Americans accompanjing the expedition. With the Macabebes were four exinsurgent c fibers, one being a Spanish and the other three Tagaloe, whom Gen. Funston trusted implicitly. Gen. Funston and the American officers wore plan blue shirts and khaki trousers. Tbey carried each a half blanket but wore no insignia of rank. The Macabebes were carefully instructed to obey the orders of the four ex-insurgent officers. On the night of March 8ih the party embaiked on the United States gunboat Vicksburg. It was originally intended to take cascces from the island of Polillo and to drift to the main land, but a storm arose and three of three cascoes were lost. This plan was abandoned. At 2 a m. March 11 tbe yicksburg put her lights out aDd ran inshore 25 miles south of Casiguran, province of Principe. The party marched to Casiguran. The Americans had never garrisoned this place, and tbe inhabitants are strong insurgent sympathizers. Having arrived there the cx-insurgent officers, ostensibly commanding the party announced that they were on the way to join Aguinaldo between Pautobagan and Biler, that they had surprised an American surveying party and that they had killed a number, capturing five. They exhibited Gen. Fureton aDd the other Americans as the prisoners. The insurgent presidents of Casiguran believed the story. Two of the Lacuna letters, previously concocted, were forwarded to Aguinaldo at PalaDan, province of Isabella. GeD. Funston and the others were kept imprisoned for three dayp, giving orders at night. On the morning of March 17, taking a small quantity of cracked com, th9 party started on a 90 mile march to Palanan. The country is rough and un-. inhabited, and provisions could not be secured. The party ate small shell fish, but were almost starved. Wading swift rivers, climbing precipitous mountains and penetrating dense jungles, they marched seven days and nights and on March 22 had reached a point eight miles from Palanan. They were now so weak that it waB necessary to send to Aguinaldo's camp for food. Aguinaldo dispatched supplies and directed that the American prisoners be kindly treated but not be allowed to enter tho town. On tbe morning of March 23. the advance was resumed. The column was met by the staff officers of Aguinaldo and a detachment of Aguinaldo's body guard, which was ordered tc take charge of tbe Americans. While one of the ex-insurgent officers conversed with Aguinaldo's aide, another was sent as a courier to warn Gen. Funston and the rest who, with 11 Macabebes were about an hour behind. Having received this warning Gen. Funston avoided Aguinaldo's detachment and joined the column avoiding observation. The Tagalogs went ahead to Aguinaldo and the column slowly followed, finally arriving at Palanan. Aguinaldo's party had troops, 50 men in neat uniforms of blue and white and wearing straw hats, lined up to receive the new comers. Gen. Funston's men crossed the river in small boats, formed on the bank and marched to the right and then in front of the insurgent grenadiers. The Tagalos entered the house where Aguinaldo was. Suddenly the Spanish officer, notic ing that Aguinaldo s aide was watching the Americans suspiciously, cx claimed: "Now, Macabebes, go for them." The Macabebes opened fire, but their aim was rather ineffective, and odIj three insurgents were killed The rebels returned the fire. On hearing the firing, Aguinaldc, who evidently thought his men were merely celebrating the arrival of reinforcements, ran to the window and shouted: "Stop that fooli&hness!? quit wasting ammunition." Plilaiio Placido, one of the Tagalo officers and a former insurgent major, who was wounded in the lung by the fire of the Kansas regiment at the battle of Caloocan, threw his Continued on Second Page.
