were forwarded to Aguinaldo at
Palanan, Province of Isabela. Gen
eral Funston and the others were
kept inprisoned for three days, sur
reptitiously giving orders at night.
The morning of March 17, taking
a small qnantity of cracked corn,
the party started on a 90 mile march
to Palanan, The country is rough
and uninhabited, and provisions
could not be secured. The party
ate small shell-fish, but were al
most starved. Wading swift rivers
climbing precipitous mountains
and penetrating thick jungles, they
marched seven days and nights,and
March 22 had reached a point
eight miles from Palanan. They
were now »o weak that it was nec
essary to send to Aguinaldo's camp
for food. Aguinaldo dispatched
suppliee, and directed that the
American soldiers be kindly treat
ed, but not be allowed to enter the
town.
The mornir.g of March 23 the
advance was resumed. The column
was tnet by the staff’ officers of
Aguinaldo and a detachment of
Aguinaido’s body guard, which was
expected to take charge of the
Americans.
While one of the ex-insurgent
officers conversed with Aguinaido’s
aid, another, a Spanird, sent a
courier to warn General Funston
and the rest, who, with 11 Maca-
hebee, were about an hour behind.
Having received this warning Gen
eral Funston avoided Aguinaido’s
detachment and joined the column)
avoiding observation. The Tagal s
went ahead to greet Aguinaldo, and
the column slowly followed, arriv.
ing finally at Palanan.
Aguinaido’s household troops 50
men, in neat uniforms of blue and
white,and wearing straw hats, lined
up to receive the newcomers. Gen
eral Funston’s men crossed the
river in small boats, formed on the
bank and marched to the right and
theti it. front of the insurgent gren
adiers. The Tagals entered the
house where Aguinaldo was.
Suddenly the Spanish officer,
noticing that Aguinaldo's aid was
watching the Americans suspicious
ly exclamed: "Now, Macabebes, go
for them!”
A recent disDatch from Manila
gives the following account of the
capture of Aguinaldo:
