ARREST OF TWO PROMINENT MERCHANTS AND TRADERS AT MANILA. Theodore Carrauia, a Spaniard, and D. 31. Carman, an American, Taken Into Custody. MANILA, Feb. 6. Theodore Carranza, a prominent and wealthy Spanish merchant and hemp and cocoanut buyer, was arrested this afternoon, charged with furnishing supplies to aid the insurgents. Carranza 13 also a partner of D. M. Carman, an American contractor and owner of boats, who had considerable transportation contracts with the government. The provost marshal and secret-service officers have been watching a number of merchants and transportation men for some time past. The police officials have had a long interview with Carranza, and the arrest of several merchants is expected to result. At the close of the interview between the police and Carranza the latter was placed in confinement in the Anda-street police station. Carman was arrested to-night, and after considerable questioning was sent to the same station. The men are charged with the conducting of the business of buying copra (the dried kernel of the cocoanut broken up for export) from insurgent presldentes at Pagsanjan, in the eastern extremity of Laguna de Bay, and also with paying assessments for the insurgent cause. The evidence adduced to-night was to the effect that the prisoners have supplies of the striped clothing used for insurgent uniforms. Both the insurgent presldentes who claim to have dealt with Carranza and Carman are now imprisoned in Manila, One of them, Fabella, fears hanging, because he was captured as an insurgent after having sworn allegiance to the United States. He made strong statements tending to Implicate Carman and Carranza and confirming the statements of Reis, who became presidente of Pagsanjan after Pa tella's arrest. The police have letters and verbal statements from Carman which sought Fabella's release, asserting that ho was a patriotic American subject. Accord ing to papers found both the presldentes are culpable insurgents. Carranza and Carman admit trading with insurgents, but deny contributing to their cause or fur nishing them with supplies. Carman Is one of the best known Ameri cans in Manila. He has a monopoly of carrying goods going through the custom house ashore from the ships, and had made a great deal of money. He possessed the confidence of General Otis. Other Manila merchants are being investigated. The amended provincial government bill has been passed, and the commission will leave here Tuesday to organize govern ments in the provinces of Pampanga, Pangasinan and Tarlac. After the commissioners return from their tour they will or ganize zambaies, liataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecljas and Cagayan.
