In fact, it is not so much a question of what shall be done with General Aguinaldo as what shall be done for General Funston. Major General MacArthur's recommenda- - tion that the Kansan be made a brigadier general, backed up by the sentiment of the country that a reward should be giv- en to him commensurate with the import- ance of his act and gallantry that atténd- ed 1t5 performance, will undoubtedly re- sult in his appointment to this rank in |'the regular establishment.
