The army has been doing as much good as it copld under the circum stances."When Manila was surrendered to Dewey and Merritt, some thousand# of Spaniards were In the city. In the eyes of the world these people looked to us for protecUon, and to have turned them over to the uncon­trollable mob known as Aguinaldo’s army would have been the blackest page of American history and that a thousand years of repentance and res- UtuUon would not have satisfied.” Beginning of the War.General Funston then told in min­ute detail of the instances which led to the warfare between the American army and the Insurgents, and during the narrative told of the shooting of several sentries by Filipino scouts who had passed the Unes. He said that in the opening of the battle be­tween the army and the insurgents.

He declar­ed that there had never been a war In the world’s history where the sol­diers had shown such humanity as had the American troops in the PhlUp- pipe islands: Be then told of 24American soldtera who had Joined the FlUulnos and who were afterwards captured and executed as traitors, and then said:'There are many mmi in the United States who did more with their mouths and minds to aid the insurgents than Jorgensen rifles. I would rather see these men hanged for treason than to see one of our. soldiers dead on the field of battle.
The gweral then declared thp Filipinos could not be classed with the Cubans, and he said that if the United States troops should now leave the Philippine islands there would be half a doxen different kinds of civil war there, and the world would hold the United States re­sponsible for them.The general saliT he talked with
