These were the only Amer icans accompanying the leader of the expedition. With the Macabebes were four in surgent officers, one being a Spaniard and the other three Tagalos, whom Funston trusted implicitly. On the night of .March s the party embarked on the gunboat Vicksburg. At 2 a. in., March 14. the Vicksburg ran in shore 25 miles south of Casi guran, province of Principe. The party landed and marched to Casigu ran. Having arrived there the ex-insur gent otlicers, ostensibly commanding the party, announced that they were on the way to join Aguinaldo, that they had surprised an American sur veying party, and that they had killed a number, capturing five. They ex hibited Funston and the Americans as their prisoners. On the morning of March 17, taking a small quantity of cracked corn, the party started on a 90-mile march. The country is rough and uninhabit ed and provisions could not be se cured. The party ate small shell fish, but were almost starved. Wad ing 1 swift rivers, climbing precipitous mountains and penetrating dense jungles, they marched seven days and nights and on March 22 reached a point eight miles fn*n l'alanan. They were now so weak that it was neces sary to send to Aguinaldo's camp for food. Aguinaldo sent supplies and directed that the American prisoners he kindly treated. The Tagalos went ahead to greet Aguinaldo and the column slowly fol lowed, finally arriving at l'alanan. Aguinaldo's household troops, 50 men. lined up to receive the new comers. Funston's men crossed the river in boats, formed on the bank and marched in front of the insur gent grenadiers. The Tagalos en tered the house where Aguinaldo was. Suddenly the Spanish officer, notic ing that Aguinaldo's aide was watch ing the Americans suspiciously, ex claimed: "Sow, Macabebes, go for them." The Macabebes opened fire, but their aim was ineffective, and only three insurgents were killed. The rebels returned the fire. Hilario Placido, one of the Tagalo officers, and a former- ' istirgent ma jor, who was wounded by the Kan sas regiment at. the battle of Caloo ean, threw his arms around Aguinal do, exclaiming, "You are a prisoner of the.Americans." Col. Villia, Ag-uinaklo's chief of staff. Maj. Alainlbra and others at tacked the men who were holding Aguinaldo. Placidio shot Villia in the shoulder. Alambra jumped out of t® e window and attemped to cross the river. It is supposed that he was drowned. Five other insurgent officers fought for a few minutes and then fled. When the firing began, Funston as sumed command and directed the at tack on the house, personally assist ing- in the capture of Aguinaldo. The insurgent body fled, leaving 20 rifles. Funston secured all of Aguinaldo's correspondence, showing that lie had kept in close touch with the sub chiefs of the insurrection. It was also discovered that Aguinaldo, Janu ary 28, had proclaimed himself dicta tor. THREE AGAINST ONE.
