Refused To Release Prisoners Requested
BY Gen. Otis.

Manila, Philippine Islands, November
16.-Gen. Otis, the commander of the
American forces, recently proposed to
Aguinaldo that he release the friars and
civilians held in captivity throughout
the provinces. The insurgent leader de-
MED the maI-treatment and refused to
release the prisoners, claiming that the
civilians had enlisted as volunteers and
therefore were legitimate prisoners Of war.
Aguinaldo also denied that women and
children were detained, but said that some
women and children had voluntarily
accompanied their husbands or fathers in
to captivity.
they were prohibited by the Pope from
accepting parochial appointments; that
they were only permitted to follow a
monastic life and. that the parishes were
entrusted to ministers of the indepen-
dent rnonastic orders. But the Philip
pine clerical had deliberately and sys-
tematically deceived the Pope. pretending
that the country was barbarous, unfit
for the regular ministry and that it was
necessary that the monastic orders
should administer to parishes. There
fore Acuinaldo considered 1T necessary TO
detain the friars until the Pope should
be undeceived. The Spanish papers here
assert that sanguinary ,nutiny has TAX

ardino and that the native crew massacred
their Spanish officers. These papers also
appeal to the United States to control the
natives.
Advices from IloiIo say the natives OF
that vicinity distrust Aguinaldo and
want American domination.

TWO MAINE GIRLS IN PROVI-
DENCE.

Providence, November 16. AT the
Rescue Mission IN this city is a girl aged
II, who says she is Lillian Wilbur of
Lewiston, Maine. She was taken into
custody last night by Officer Andrew
Montin of Central Police squad. The
officers attention was attracted to the
girl as she WAS entering a cheap lodging
house on North Main street. At the time
she was accompanied by another girl
about her own age, whom Lillian says is
Mollie Nc Farland, also of Lewiston.
When the officer went into the house and
searched for the girls be failed to find
Miss Mcfarland. At the Rescue Mission
Miss Wilbur told the officer that she and
her companion left Lewiston with two
Hebrew peddlars. The men had plenty of
money and were SO liberal with 1t that
the girls decided to run away with them
and get married They all stopped in
Providence. For two days the quartette
had bean about town, but finally the girls
were abandoned at lodging house and
left without a cent. The police are
making careful search for the Mcfarland
girl and also for the men.
mo such girls are known in Lewiston
ami it is believed that they may be the
young women who disappeared from Saco
this week. On the day they were missed,
1t was noted that two peddlers who had
been seen about town with them, were
also gone)

THE MAN WHO DID.
The Reason why 1t is Pretty Certain Hell
Sorry for Doing It.

This story did not come from the man
interested: it came from the lady who
was with the lady who was interested.
Perhaps that fact will relieve the mind
of the man .swho did.
The two ladies. were crossing from Ho-
boken the other day, and in the ferryboat
sat next to fashily dressed man, who
wore many imitation diamonds and much
jewelry. When the ladies left the boat
one felt for her purse and didn't find it.
sThese wasn't much in it, " she ex-
planned philosophically to her friend. II
wasn't going to buy anything. you know ;
I was only going shopping. But it served
me right for putting the purse In my
pocket"
The friend agreed consolingly, and they
walked on for moment, when the lady
whose pocket had been picked pulled out
a small hard lump of glass from her
pocket.
"The poor thief she said; here's
one Of his diamonds!" They laughed and
went ON uptown. In the course of time
they were in Union square, and for the
fun of the thing decided to go into
Tiffany s and soc what the thief's "dia
mond" might be worth. So they went tt
the diamond shaper and askedsif thu
glass was really worth anything.
ssIt's not glass, = said the expert; s'it's
diamond and very good one" Their

was worth about $500.
For some reason the man who lost tina
diamond HASN'T advertised it yet. 1hi

RESULT OF DRUNKEN ROW.
A Kineo Guide on Trial For Murder at
Dover.

Dover November 16s-The trial of John
Peters for the murder OF John Smart, .
Kineo guide. was begun in the Supreme
court today before Judge Folger. A
greater part of the. forenoon was taken UT
with the impanelling of the jury.
County Attorney Hayes and Attorney
General Haines will conduct the prosecu-
ton, while j. B. Peaks of Dover. and
Henry Hudson Of Guilford, have been ap-
pointed to defend Peters.
1t is expected that the prisoner will
take the ground OF self defence as it had
been claimed that Smart, the murdered
man, had been drinking heavily on the
day of the shooting and had made several
attempts to draw Peters into row.
Smart was killed in the wash room of q
boarding house. Smart took hold Of
Peters and Peters drew a revolver and
shot him.
This afternoon County Attorney Hayes
made the opening argument for the prose.
cution. The government, he said, would
attempt to prove the killing malicious
and of such natu re as would admit Of
no legal excuse. The examination of wit.
nssses then commenced. and Thomas
Bridge, an uncle of the victim, who was
in the room when the shooting was done,
and two other men, gave their evidence
tending to show Smart's intoxication
and malice on the part of Peters.

Chickamauga and who served on the
Montauk. that had the opportunity been
theirs they would have done their duty
as nobly and as well as did those who
took part in the active service at the
'front.'
MIR. Scully's speech was very witty
and happy effort and at the conclusion of
his remarks he was applauded again and
again.
Lieutenant B. A. Chaplain, who was
with the First Maine at Chickamauga, in
brief speech thanked the club for its
handsome token, and in behalf of the
club members who were with him in this
regiment expressed their appreciation oil
the honor which had been done them by
the wheel club.
Sergeant Martin 81. WEIGH who wac
with the Maine Signal corps at Santiago
was called upon for speech and said
tnat ne Ielt highly honored by what had
bean SAID OF him and his comrades, but
he thought that their services we're some.
what exaggerated and that any other
fellows would have done their duty as
we'll as they tried to do it at Santiago.
The company then adjourned to the
dance hall above, and enjoyed well ar
ranged programme of dances to late
hour. One of the pleasantest features q
the occasion was the signing of Mr..
James r. Coombs, who Is possessed q
magnificent bass voices, aud who de-
lighted the company by his rendition Of
two solos. Mr.. Coombs, who has appeared
in public many times in this city, is a
most accomplished singer, and one who
is sure to take a high place among the
bass soloists of the country. He is great
favorite among the wheel club boys who
always make him an honored guest al
their meetings and banquets.

of eight lectures on ''The Western Move

an audience of 1900 people in Huntington

leader of the Rough Riders, and it was
some minutes before he was able to pro-
coed with his lecture, which was of a
purely historical nature.
