HOW HE WftS FOOLED

General Mc Arthur Planned the Capture of Aguinaldo. flGGEPTS RESPONSIBILITY Tells Senator Patterson that Deception Is LcglMrmtc In War. Washington. April 30. The Senate committee on the Philippines today resumed the examination of witnesses in connection with the investigation of affairs in the Philippine Islands. Gen. Arthur Mac Arthur continued his examination. He explained the the statement in his annual re port of June 30, 1890, that the 'United States had acquired sov ereignity by treaty aid in a way owned the Philippine people," by saying that these conclusions were reached after conversation with an infinite number of peo ple and observation, and that thev represented the bulk of the views of the Nation alist part. He then m response to questions by Senator Patter son, described the different towns embraced within the American lines on the night of February 15, 1899, when the outbreak occurred, and identified what pur ported to be a copy of the order of General Luna for the massa cre of the foreign residents of Manila. Senator Patterson sought to show that it was not dfficult to deceive Aguinaldo by forger' and referred to his cap ture by General Funston through a forced letter signed "Lacuna" General MacArthur, with considerable emphasis, declared that General Funston was not responsiole in any way for any of the methods which obtained in the the capture of Aguinaldo. 'I am responsible in that matter in every way and particular," said General MacArthur. "It is one of the deceptions frequently practiced in war, and whatever responsibility attaches thereto take." With resrard to the order for the Manila massacre, General MacArthur, answering further questions by Senator Patterson, said the order he saw was signed by Sandico and not by Luna. General MacArthur detailed the efforts made by him to ferret out Luna's conneetion with it. The witness could not recall a letter of General Reeves, who was chief of police of Manilla, in which he stated that he did not believe a massacre was intended because it was entirely contrary to the manner in which the Filipinos had waged war in the past. Reverting to the Sandico order Senator Patterson quoted from a report of Dr. E, C. Bourns, a surgeon in the United States army, as to how he came into possession of it through a Filipino who made a copy of the original. The Senator referred to a later statement by Dr. Burns to the effect that the Filipino might have 'stretched things a little." General MacArthur' claimed there had been two orders. "Would you hang a yellow dog on a testimony that is paraded here as to the genuineness of those orders?" asked senator Patterson. The witness said it would depend on what kind of a yellow dog it was. General MacArthur disclaimed any responsibility for the orders of General Jacob H. Smith to make Samar a howling wilderness. Replying to a question by Senator Beve ridge, General MacArthur said that absolute chaos would result should the Filliplnos be given complete independence and the United States entirely withdraw -from the islands but he said he would like ,to explain this statement at another session of the committee He was thereupon excused, the committee going into executive ses sion to further consider the ad visability of summoning witness es asked for by the minority. Much Vork for Congress. Washington, April :19. The first of May comes with nearly all the large questions before Congress still under consideration. It looks now as if the sixth , month of the Senate be given exclusively to the consideration

ofthe nation's policy in the Phil

ippines. Senators do not at temptto predict how long the de bate will run. Just now the republicans are dis posed to let the democrats do the talking. A little later the majority will begin serious consideration of the various provisions of the bill by tho committee on the Philippines. There is not unanimity of opinion even in the Senate, as to the advisability of establishing the freeccinage of silver in the new possessions, and that branch of the subiect will be discussed at length after the democrats are through with their general attack on the administration's policy. TELLER CONDEMNS SMITH Colorado Senator Says the Philippine Order Was Disgraceful. Washington, April 30 A A spirited discussion of the Phil ippine situation occurred in the senate yesterday. It revolved around the order alleged to have been issued by General Jacob A. Smith to make the island of Samar a howling wilderness and to kill all male inhabitants over the age of 10 years, The debate took a wide range, however and many other points were discussed. lien tne fmnppine Dill was laid before the senate no one was prepared to deliver a set speech on it. Mr. Lodge (Mass.) in charge of the measure, said he felt compelled to press it to con sideration. His remarks drew the fire of Mr. Teller (Colo.).who criticised the republicans for not participating in the discussion. This precipitated the debate, and for more than two hours it continued. Mr. Teller declared that General Smith, if he had issued such an order as had been attributed to him, ought to be dismissed from the service, as it was a disgrace to the American army and to the American people. Mr. Lodge said that while he knew little of the circumstances surrounding the alleged order, he, did not approve cruel methods in warfare, and every rightminded person must regret General Smith's order. To him it was revolting. He defended the administration, however, saying as soon s Knowledge oi trie order had .come to Washington the President had directed that General Smith be court martialed. ' Once Rich; Pleads For Work Washington, April 30 An assistant stcretary of a; department, speaking today of the awful pressure for office, particurlarly on the part of the army of dismissed census office clerks, said: "The tales of distress we hear every day would melt hearts of stone. Weepinsr women come in here dragging their children with them and pour tales of star vation into my ears. Men call every day who tell me they have roamed the streets all night for lack of a bed. Just this morning I gave a temporary job to an old man who a few years ago was a millionaire. He attended the Mineapolis convention in his special car. Some, of the setators who had been his guests on that trip came to me with him and begged me to give him something to do. He is earning about $2 a day. The Isthmian Canal. Washington, April 29. The president is showing a good deal of concern over the disposition of the senate to bury the canal bill. He feels that it is essential to republican success next fall that a canal bill be passed, and from now on he will bring pressure to bear on' the . senate. . It remains to be seen whether he is powerful enough to overcome the influence of the hidden forces that are striving to prevent leglation. Eighty Million Capitol. Trenton, April 28. The United Copper Company with an authorized capital of 880,000,000, was incorporated here today. The company is authorized to mine, melt, manufacture copper, gold silver and other metals. The register agent of the company is the Hudson Trust com pany, of Hoboken, N.J., and the incorporators are Horatio Whiteridge Trumbull, New York; Arthur A. Brown lee, Princeton, and John French, New York. .

INDIANA CLERK DISMISSED

He Refused to Testify in Terre Haute Investigation. Washington, April 30, For refusing to testify at an investigation regarding internal revenue affairs in Indiana in violation of civil service rule promulgated on Dec. 11, 1001, C O. Self, clerk of the internal revenue bureau, was this morning dismissed from office. Section 9 of the rule 'says: "For the purpose of enabling the commission to .make the investigation authorized by Section 2 the civil service act, it shall be the duty, of every officer and employe in the public service to give to said commission all proper and competent information and testimony in regard to all matters inquired of, and to sub scribe such testimony and make oath or affirmation to the same before some officer authorized by law to administer oaths." The rule under which Mr. Self was dismissed is as follows: 'Any person in the executive civil service of the United States who shall willfully violate any of the provisions of the civil service act or of these rules shall be dismissed from office." Mr. Self was one of the witnesses summoned in the case of Mr. Henry; having been the deputy under him and having been transferred to Washington later when the change was made. He proved to be a very unwilling witness and when he was asked if he knew whether any money had been paid by federal employes to Mr. Henry he refused point blank to answer. Charges were preferred by the civil service commission against Self, and these were sent to the white house. They were referred to the treasury department, where Self's explanations were received. The civil service com mission was not satisned witn the explanations and he has been dismissed. There is no appeal. The salary was 812,00. EVANS MAY GET POST. Washington, April 30 -Commissioner of Pensions Evans was a caller at the White House yesterday, and while there the President informed him of the death of William McKinley Osborne, Consul General to London, and in an informal manner offered him tho vacant position. No formal tender of the place was made and none will be, as the President wants to pay the proper respect to the memory of the dead consul. Mr. Evans said that he would take the offer under advisement, but no doubt he will accept it when it is made in in a formal manner. The president has been waiting to find a place for Evans that will be regarded as a promotion. The office in former years paid about $60,000 a year in fees, but the official fees now go to the government, and it is worth about 825, 000 a year to the consul general, and the expenses are not large. Mr. Evans will, therefore, get a decided promotion, so far as salary is concerned. - STRIKE AT SINGER PLANT President of American Federation Calls Out All Union Men. South Bend, April 30 Harry L. Burt, president of the American Federation of Labor, last night issued a call to all union men employed by the Singer machine company to walk out. The employes of the foundry department have obeyed the summons, but it remains to be seen if the case factory men will follow. Of 1,750 employes only 800 have been working this week. The men claim that Manager Pine has failed to keep his agreement, discriminating against unionmen. Passing of Old Landmark. New York, April 29.

BACHELORS TO TEND BABIES Dr." Dovvic Announces Nursery Plan for Zion City Pilgrims. Chicago, April 28. John Al exander Dowie announced to his followers yesterday afternoon at his Auditorium meeting that he had ordered a baby house to be built in Zion City where parents might check babies in summer months when they visited the lace industries. He said that there would be a chance for bachelors to become useful in taking the place of fathers, in company with maids, caring for tots checked at the Zion nursery. He added that he had settled witn tne railroad. lor excursions to Zion City at a low rate. Dowie devoted much of his time to shouting vengeance upon those of his audience who inter rupted his sermon by leaving the hall. When the time arrived for collecting the tithes there was a general exodus. 'Stop where you are!" he would shout to those who left their seats. "Don't you think for one moment that you can es cape me. l win ioiiow you wherever you go. Sit down! don't propose to have you leav ing your seats while I am ad dressing you." . Some reluctantly resumed their seats, while others paid no heed to his warning. The healer told his iollowers that the last Sunday in May would be the closing meeting day for the season at the Auditorium. He informed them that unless satisfactory arrangements could be made with the management it would be the last season' there for Zion. The contract had been unsatisfactory, he said..

Chicago, April 25 The largest inroads ever successfully made upon the revenue department of the government, rivaling the counterfeiters on postage stamps of a few years ago, by which the department lost thousands of dollars, have been discovered in Chicago by Postoffice Inspector James E. Stuart. In an unpretentious office in room 10, Hyman building, Clark and South Water streets, Inspector Stewart found plates, presses, paper and machinery, including more than 50,000 bogus postal cards. There, he says, Louis Smith confessed that he had spent most of his time, night and day, grinding out millions of postal cards, which he sent to all parts of the United States. His scheme is said by the authorities to be the most genious ever carried out in counterfeiting. The making of the plates for printing the cards was unique and clever. Each plate was made up of six or seven different pieces. In securing the Jefferson head of the government plate five were taken off a genuine card and arranged in the shape of a maltese cross, one being in the center. Around these, the inspector says, he placed some sort of an advertisement to mislead the engraver. When the plate had been made he sawed out one of the cuts and set it in for the rest of the cut. For the reading matter, the inspector says, he had several schemes. Words containing the letters in exact reproduction, under different arrangement are said to have been used in various sentences, large and small which caused no suspicion to arouse the engraver. In these he separated some of the letters or words and faced up the rest of the cut. He attempted none of the engraving. He had a business in another building and was supposed by all who knew him to be a refined and honorable manT It is not believed that the engravers suspected that he was making postal cards. He seems to have been entirely alone in the business. He had made and sold about 400,000 cards in the past two years. Want Othtrs to Know.

THE AMERICAN NAVY

It Needs Much Improvement to Compete With Germany. Washington, April 29 The naval program for 1903 as presented in the naval appropriation bill, and accompanying report, filed by chairman Foss, of the house naval committee, is one of unusual interest. The report does not take as optimistic a view of our naval prowess as is generally held, and Mr. Foss points out that comparitively few of our ships have any real fighting value. He accompanies this with astatement of the enormous navaJ armament and programs of other countries, particularly Germany. It is shown by the report that the total number of vessels of our navy, built and building, is 138 and the total cost will be $235,082, 209. The report says our naval prowess lies almost entire ly in our eighteen battleships, eight armored cruisers and twenty-one protected cruisers. The rest of our ships would cut but little figure in actual war. Referring to the foreign naval program, the report says: Of all the countries, Germany has been building during the last few years faster than any of the others. Her ship-building program started in 1893, and will be completed in 1903; possibly in 1907. This program will give her in all thirty-eight battleships fourteen large cruisers, thirtyeight smaller cruisers, and nine ty-six torpedo boats. After the completion of this program, the plan contemplates new constructions to replace ships, which, though still serviceable, may have rerched the prescribed age limit." DOG'S BITE PROVED FATAL Farmer Died of Hydrophobia Six Months Alter He Was Bitten. Alton, 111., Arril 24 Stephen Perkinson, a prominent farmer, died at his home, near West Alton from the effects of hydrophabia. Six months ago Perkinson was bitten by a pet dog which belonged to his children. The animal became savage, and Perkinson was preparing to kill it, when he was nipped on the end of the finger of his right hand by the dog's teeth. No attention was given to the wound, and nothing was thought of it after two days. Yesterday Perkinson complained of feeling unwell, and in the evening he fell to the floor in convulsions. A physician was summoned, and at first it was thought he had taken poison with suicidal intent. Symptoms of hydrophobia became apparent, and then his family recalled the circumstances of Perkinson having been bitten bv a dog six months ago. Nothing could be done to saye the' unfortunate man after the discovery was made that he was a victim of the dog's bite, and he died in horrible agony. He was 29 years of age, and leaves a widow and two small children! Will Not Be Pensioned. Washington, April 30 After considering the renewed request that a bill be introduced to pension Mrs. Benjamin Harrison at the rate of $5,000 a year it hr s been decided not to offer the bill. The members of the senate committee to which the bill would be referred were consulted, and they indicated that such a bill would not be reported favorably. Under the circumstances the friends of Mrs. Harrison here deemed it wise not to present the bill. The situation has been fully explained to Mrs. Harrison and her friends at Indianapolis. Q)

PROOF OF A MEAT TRUST

Spatial Counsel W. A. Day Secured Ample Evidence. Chicago, April 28 William A. Day, assistant General Kuox and special counsel to the Interstatecommerce Commission, arrived in Chicago Saturday to confer with District Attorney Berthea relative to taking action against the socalled beef trust. Mr. Day said he did not bring with him the application for injunction which the Attorney General has ordered filed against the firms of Armour, Swift & Co., Nelson Morris & Co., the G. H. Hammond Packing Company, the Cudhady Packing Company and the Schwartzchild and Sulzberger company. Further, he said no bills would be filed by him today. The matter of the investigation, he said, had been placed entirely in the hands of District Attorney Berthea. Attorney Day said : 'I want to correct a misconception of my position in this case. I am here merely as the representative of Attorney General Knox. District Attorney Bethea is to have sole charge of the prosecution. I have no authority to direct his action, but merely to convey to him certain instructions of his superiors as to the outline of the bills. I also have brought ?ome additional evidence which I secured in New York. This will be sifted by him and will be used to supplement his proof of the exis tence of a meat trust. I do not think the bills will be drawn hurriedly for they must stand the severest scrutiny of some of th e best corporation lawyers. For this reason care must betaken to withstand the assaults of a demurrer. I have no authority to say anything concerning the evidence I have secured. It is sufficient to state that the attorney general has approved of the proofs secured by Mr. Bethea and myself and unless he was certain that we had strong evidence to support the applications for injunction under the Sherman anti-trust law he would not have ordered the prosecution started at this time.
