Filipinos accused of atrocities and self rule critique
General Funston told Ohio Society listeners in San Francisco that Filipinos abandoned civilized fighting within months, torturing and burying nearly 4,000 natives during 1900 and 1901 to fund insurgent efforts, and that officers ordered internal assassinations to preserve power. He praised Aguinaldo yet claimed Luna was killed for moving too fast, calling Filipinos incapable of self government.
