LEFT CHINA VOLUNTARILY.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 27. United
States Minister Conger will leave
this evening for Council Bluffs. He
will go via Denver and expect to reach
the Missouri river Wednesday morning1.
Regarding his leave of absence from
China. Minister Conger said that all
the stories to the effect that suggestion
of the leave emanated from the state de
partment were pure fiction. He said:
"I applied for the leave on my ow-n
motion with the expectation of return
ing to China and Joining In the resump
tion of negotiations. No flag was then
held higher than ours in China and the
story that President McKJnley and the
secretary of state were disippolnted
Is pur? Invention. If you say anything
on this topic publish the fact that the
president and secretary of state sent
the United States minister a telegram
of congratulation. I was advised thu
reports might be published that friction
existed between the state department
and the legitlon and was told by the
secretary to nay no heed to such state
ments." "I know." remarked Mr. Conger, "that
stories are floating stating that Presi
dent McKlnley Is not wholly satisfied
with my official conduct In China and in
order to relieve the situation of em
barrassment to myself and the admin
istration has hinted to federal office
holders that my election to the office of
governor of Iowa waa desirable. Noth
ing could be further from the truth.
The president never would countenance
such action. We are friends and served
together in congress. He knows me and
knows that if I suspected that his con
fidence in my Judgment was In the
slightest degree impaired that I would
Instantly resign."

The article con.iu les with the state

for Great Britain to oppose Germany's

LETTER FROM FUNSTON.
Before Capturing Aguinildo He Did
Not Exct Appointment In
Regular Army,
IOLA. Kas.. April 27. Brigadier
General Funston. writing to a fellow
townsman under date of February 26.
a month before the capture of Aguin
aldo, says he did not expect an appoint
ment In the regular army. He says:
"Under the operations of the law I
must be mustered out of service Julv L
as that Is the last day of the volun
teer army and from that time all of
the work will be turned over to regu
lars. I was not disappointed that I
was not given anything In the re-organization
of the regular army, aa I had no
expectations. One so young as myself,
who had never been connected with
the regular army, could scarcely ex
pect a brigadier-generalship In that
body over many gallant old men who
have been In service some of them
forty years."
