Washington, April 11.-An order has

sixty paymasters. With the exceptions
of Generals Otis, Shafter, Lawton and
Macarthur, all the volunteer major
generals will be discharged, including
Generals Wade. Wilson, Lee. Wheeler,
Bates, Young, Chaffee, Anderson, Sum-

PETER ELLIOT SHOT BYHOLD-UP
ONE BULLET TOOK EFFECT, FIVE
FLEW WIDE.
Thug Ran Amuck Early This Morn
'ing-Tried to Rob Three Men-Got
Only Bundle of Laundry.

Three holdups occurred in rapid Sc
quence on the block west of the tenn
pie square early this morning.
All were committed by the same man,
who was knocked down and very
roughly handled by two of his intended
victims. One of these, Peter Elliot, was
shot in the calf of the leg - the hold
up, Who was armed only with a 22-cali-
bre revolver. The wound is not serious.
Roy Forman. an employee of the Salt
Lake theatre, and Edward Callison, a
boiler maker. were the other two. For
man was returning home from work
and near First West on, South Temple,
lone man jumped in front of him
and with a revolver leveled, demanded
all he had. He got only a bundle of
laundry. FOrman was released, and
had walked probably 100 yards when he
saw Callison and the man struggling
on the sidewalk. He ran back to help
Callison, but the latter, thinking he
was another robber, ran away to the
north. He says the fellow was drunk
and a novice at the business.
The hold-up turned up First West
and caught Elliot in front of Dr. Beat
tvs on West Temple. Elliot knocked
him down and ran, but six shots were
fired after him. One of these took eff
feet as above described. He was able
to walk home.
The officers had made no arrests at
4 o'clock this morning. The man
wanted is described as very dark and
heavy set He looks like q mulatto.

EVIDENCE IN GEORGE CASE.
Trial Largely Devoted to Evidence of
Policemen.

Canton, O., April 1.-Today the trial
of Mrs. George was largely devoted to
the evidence of policemen who worked
on the murder case. They detailed the
arrest and described her appearance
and conduct, bus were not permitted 20
testify as to her refusal to answer
questions asked by the officers and
the prosecuting attorney. The defense
objected to this on the ground that it
was an attempt to establish a confess
sion by silence.
The court, sustained the defense in
the position taken, but long argument
and the citation of authorities preceded
the handing down of the opinion.
Jesse Taylor, a street car employee.
testified that he saw Mrs. George get
on a. car about ten minutes before 6
the night of the murder. Samuel How
enstein, another street railway man,
also testified to seeing Mrs George on
the car. The defense sought to show
that the car was too late to reach Lin
coin avenue in time for the tragedy.
Judge Mccarthy testified that about
5:35 on the evening of the tragedy, Mrs
George called on him and wanted per-
mission to cay on Saxton at his block
He told her an injunction against such
call was still in force and advised her
not to go.
Officer Piero, Policeman McCloubohn,
said Mrs. George on being taken to
prison was searched by a woman doc
tor. The thumb and forefinger of her
right hand were discolored and on
smelling it they pronounced the discol-
Grafton due to burnt gunpowder.
They also testified to finding burdooi1
burrs and Spanish needles on her skirt
and to finding similar burr!s and nee

house home.

these burrS and needles were rather

END OF DIVORCE REGIME.
Closing Days In North Dakota Cause
a. Rush.

Fargo, N. D., April 1.-THE final cur
tain is just being rung down on the old
divorce regime of North Dakota. Hun
dreds of divorces are safely behind, and
scores have been shut out.
The closing days of the divorce re-
gime have been characterized by a rush
of divorce emigres across the country
to be in under the ninety-day provi-
sion of the old law, and the divorce
colonies at Fargo, Crank Forks, Man
dan, Bismarck and Jamestown have
received sudden and hurried additions
from east and west, wherever marital
bonds have proved CALLING. Emigres
still come, but theirs is bootless
chase. By July the last suits for
divorce under the old law, which Da-
kota ecclesiastics call stencil in the
nostrils of the people, will have to be
filed.
The colony at Fargo, with additions
from the immigration, is estimated to
number about $50. The DEGREES are be-
ing issued in the courts of the Third
judicial district at the rate of three a
day. The colony at Mandan, across
the river from Bismarck, is nearly as
large, owing to the favorable complex
ion of the courts, and the Divorces
have also flocked to Grand Forks and

Manila, April II, 5:45 p. NAT about
midnight the rebels cut the telegraph
line at several places between here and
Malolos and signal fires were lighted
and rockets sent up all along the foot
hills to the right of the railroad.
Later the enemy attacked the out
posts of the Minnesota regiment be-
tween Bigaa and BocaVe, five miles
south of Malolos, killing two men and
Wounding fourteen.
simultaneously the outpoSts of the
Oregon regiment at Marilao, the next
station on the way to Manila, were at
tackled, with the result that three
Americans were killed and two wound
ed. The loss of the enemy was ten men
killed and six wounded
The Americans also captured two
prisoners. Troops were concentrated
along the railroad as thickly as possd-
BILE and the rebels We're driven back to
the foothills
The roadbed of the railroad was dam
aged, but it was repaired almost imme-
diately, and traffic was soon resumed
through Malolos. y
1t is supposed that many of the rebels
who attacked General MaeArthur's line
of communication and who were re-
pulsed by the troops commanded by
General Wheaton, were natives who
entered the region in the guise of
friendliness. They had seemingly Sc
creted arms in several places and fired
on the Americans from the bushes at so
close a range that they could be heard
talking. One of the Filipinos yelled in
English: I'VE will give you id Amer
leans enough of this before we are
through"
The rebels undermined the railroad
at Marilao and unspiked the rails in an
effort to wreck the train while the rail-
road gang participated in the tight. The
work of the rebels was discovered and
repaired before a train arrived. Gem
eral Wheaton is preparing to punish
the Filipinos.
The military gunboats Napidan and
La Guna de Bay have succeeded in en-
tering the Santa Cruz river, and have
captured a small unarmed Spanish
gunboat and three launches which they
discovered there.
The military gunbuat Oeste has
brought thirty-two rebel wounded, one
Filipino prisoner and six wounded
Americans to the hospital.
1t is known that ninety-three insur-
gents were killed during the capture of
Santa Cruz.

OTIS rs HEARD FROM.
Tells of the Success of the Santa
Cruz Expedition.

Washington, April 1.-THE following
dispatch has been received from Gen
eral Otis:
Manila, April II.
"Adjutant General, Washington:
insurgents attacked MacArthur's
line of railway communication last
night in considerable force. Repulsed
by Wheaton, with heavy loss. Wheat
on's casualties, three killed and twenty
wounded.
''Lawton's success at Santa Cruz
more complete than reported yesterday
Enemy left ninety-three uniformed
dead on field and a number seriously
wounded. Lawton captured city with
out destruction of property. His loss
was ten wounded, slight, except two;
one since died. Lieutenant Alling, the
only officer wounded, slight in hand
Enemy retired eastward. Lawton in
pursuit this morning. OTIS"
The attack of the insurgents upon
the railway north of Manila indicated
to the war department officials that
while General Macarthur was pushing
north, bodies of insurgents took to the
mountains and jungles to the right of
the railway and have been watching an
opportunity to capture the road at some
point and thus cut off the main body
of the army to the northWard, The
repulse of the natives shows that they
had not sufficient force to accomplish
their purpose.
