From this material two letteis were ronslructed ostensibly freiu Ln eunn to Ak'iiini.ldn. "One uf tiiese contained information as to the progress of the wur. The other asserted that, pi.rsnant to orders received from Iliililermero Aguinalilo, Lacuna was sending his best coinpuny to President Emillo Auuimildii. His plans rcnipleted and approved General l-'uuston came to Manila nnd or-gnnir.i-d his expedition, selecting 7S Mac abebes, nil of rtlinm sioke Tugaleg flu ently. Twenty wore insurgent uniforms, nnd the others the dress of Filipino la borers. This Macuhclie company, armed with .M) Mnusvis, 18 Remingtons nnd 10 Kriig-Jnrgcusetis, was commanded by by Cnptnin RufscII T. Ilar.r.ard. With liim was his brother Lleiitennnt Oliver P. M.

With the Miicnbelwn were four ex insurgeiit otlicers, one Is-iug a Spaniard ml the other three Tngnlogs, whom Ueu pnil Fiiiistnn trustid itnplicitly. (euernl Funstoii and the American nttircrs wore phiin blue shirts and khaki trnusers. They carried each a half bin nket, but wore no insignia of rank. The Macnb. I. is were carefully instruct ed to oliiy the orders of the four ex-ln-inrsi'lit nllireis. On the iiL-lit of March 8 the party em barked on the Unitisl States guubuat AGUINALDO Vickshtirs. It was uriginnlly intended to take euscis'S from the island of Polillo mid to drift to the mainland, but 1 storm arose am! three of the cascoea were lost. This plan was nhauilnticd. At 2 n. in., March 14, the Vickslmrs put her lights rut and ran inshore '-'i miles jouth of Cnsiguran, province of Prin cipe. The party lamled and marched to L'nslgurnii. The American hail never Enrri.-'iiiied this place nnd the inhabi tants nre strong insurgent sympathizers. Having arrived there the ex-insurgent Milcers, ostensibly conimniiiling the party, announced that they were on the way to inin Aguinalilo In tween Pantabangan nnd Itnler, that they had surprised an Amur ican scouting prrty and that they had killed a number, capturing five. They ?hibited (.cucrnl Fuuston nnd the other Americans as their prisoners. The insurgent presidente of Casiguruii tH-lieved the story. Two of the Lacuna letters, previoiihly roncoetisl, were for wiiriled to Aguinalilo at l'tiliinnn, prov ince of I-alicln. (.euernl Fuuston-and the others were kept imprisoned for three dnys. surrf ptitiously giving orders it night. On the innriiing of March li. Inking n small quantity of rooked rorn, the party startid on a 90-niile march to Pnlannn. The rocntry is rough and un llihnbited and provisions rould not be secured. The prrty nte sinnll shell fish, but wns nluios: sturveil. Wading swift rivers, rlinibing precipitous mmintnins and penetrating dense jungleii, they marched seven days and nights nnd on March had reached n point eight miles from Pulnnaii. Theywere now so weak Hint it was nerri-snry to send to Aguiu aldo's ciliiip fr food. Aguinalilo dis patched supplies and directed that the American prisoners be kindly treated, but not to be allowed to enter the town. On the morninj! et Mnrch Z the advance wns resumed. The column wns met by the stud otlleers of Auginnldo nnd a de tachment of Agiiinaldo's bodyguard, which wns ordered to take charge of the Americans. While one of the ex-insurgent officers conversed with Aguinnldos mile, an other, n Spaniard, sent a courier to warn Cencrul Fiinsiuii uud the rest who with 11 Mucalicbis were about an hour be hind. Having received this warning. General Fuuston avoided Aguinnldo's de tachment and joined the column, avoid V ft ) im ing observation. The Tagnlnga went ahead to gr-et Aguinuldo, nnd the col umn slowly followed, finally arriving at l'nlnunn. Aguinnldo's household troops, DO men iu neut uniforms of blue nud white mid wenring straw huts, lined up to receive the newroaiers. General Funstuu'l men crossed the river iu small boats, formed on the bank and marched to the right und then iu front uf the iumirgent grenadiers. The Tagalogs entered the lioui'e where Aguinalilo wns. Suddenly the Spunisli olllcer, noticing Hint Aguinuldo's aide was watching the Americans suspiciously, excluimed: "Now, .Macabebcs, go Ur them." The Macubebes opened tire, but their aim wai nnioAinnit cenep.at, funston. rather ineffective, and only three insur gents were killed. The rels'ls returned the lire. On hearing the tiring Aguinal do, who evidently thought his men were merely celebrating the arrival of rein forcements, run to the window and shouted: "Stop that foolishness. Quit wasting ammunition." 1 1 1 la ri ii Pliicido, one of the Tagulog of ficers and a former insurgent major, who was wounded iu the lung by the lire of the Knusns regiment nt the bnttle of Cnloocau. threw liifc arms around Aguin alilo, exclnimlug "You are a prisoner of the Americans. Colonel Simeon Villin, AguinaMo'l chief of staff. Major Alnuibra and others attacked the men who were holding Aguiunldn. I'lcci.lc shot Vlllia in the shoulder. Alainhrn jumped out of the window nnd ntti mpted to cross the river. It is supposed tlint li wns drowned. Five other insurgent otlleers fought for a few minutes und then tied, making their escape. When the tiring began General Funston assumed cominaml and directed the nt tuck on the hotisi, personally assisting in the capture of Aguinalilo. The Insurg ent bodyguard fled, leaving 20 rifles. Santiago llnici tiiim, the insurgent treas urer, surrendered without resistance. When ruptured Aguinaldo was tre mendously excited, but he calmed dowr under (ieneriil Funston's assurance that he would be well treated. General Fun ston secured all uf Aguiualdo's corres pondence, showing thut he had kept Iu close touch with the sub-chiefs of the Insurrection in all parts of the archipel ago. It wns also discovered that Aguinalilo, Jun. -S. had proclaimed himself dictator. He bad been living at Pullman for seven months, uiiiliMtnibed except when a de tachment of the Sixteenth infantry visit ed the town. ( n tlint occasion the entire population took to the mountains and remained there until the troops retired. Aguinaldo admitted that he had come near to being captured before, but he asserted that he hud never lieen wound ed, adding: "I sluulil never have been tuken except by n strntegeni. I yens roinpletely deceived by Lacuna's signa ture." He feured he might be sent to Guam, nnd be wns quite glad to come to Manila. Palnnnn wns guarded by numerous out posts and signal stations. During the fight none of the Macubebes wns wound ed. The expedition rested Mnrch 21 and then inn n he! Hi miles n day lo l'nlnunn bay, where General Funston found the ickidiurg, w hich brought him to Miiniiu. (Yimiiniidcr Hurry of the Vlcksburg rendered General. Funston splendid assistance. Aguinaldo, who tnlked freely of past events, said he si.pposed General Trias would proclaim himself dictator, evident ly not knowing that Trias had surrend ered. He behaved courteously nnd gave no trouble. (euernl Funston says Aguiunldn is above the average in intelligence and has prepossessing manners. AgtiliiAtdo Called Trailer. MADRID, April, 2. The rapture of Aguinnldo has caused much interest here. The pciws is divided on the subject. Some of the newspapers are delighted with his capture and describe him ns a Mack trailer to Spnin. Others consider him a traitor to his own nice nnd de clare he was bought with American dol lars. Interviews are published with the direc tor of the Filipino organ here and also with the president of the so-called Fil ipino junta. They nre both quoted as tmphnticnlly declaring that the capture of Aguinnldo will have no permanent cr fcit on the war. that he will be replaced and Hint the Filipinos, aided hy the cli mate, will never be subdued.
