probably six or eight, for conspiracy to de-
fraud through the use Of the mails
The alleged scheme is one which out

Brooklyn, N. Y, in that the creditors have
received no returns whatever The alleged
conspirators used finely engraved and
printed letter heads. ordered goods from
firms all over the country, transferred the
goods received from one party to another,
and never paid for them.
1t appears from the evidence that the
operations of the combine were quite ex-
tensive, the goods ordered and received en-
supplies and grand pianos.
Tyson, 1t IS alleged, was the brains and
chief executive of the affair." Some time
ago he built long distance telephone line
from Atlanta to Swainsboro', connecting
the Intervening towns and the allegation
is that he secured all of the material and
instruments for the line by this system of
fraud and ordering through the malls.

alleged conspiracy live. The scheme ia said

THE PURSUIT OF AGUINALDo.
Mnt. March Close on the Heels of the
Rebel Chief

The following dispatch, dated Cervantes
December >, was received in Manila yes
terday from a correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press with Maj. March's battalion:
Maj. March, with Capts. Jenkinson and
Cunningham. Lieuts. Tompkins. Rucker.
McCleland and Power, and 125 men is
about starting for Bontoc. the principal
| town in the province of that name, to the
northeast. through an absolutely desolate
country and over a mountain ten thousand
feet high. He is pursuing Aguinaldo, whose
escort now reduced to fifty men, is known
to be there.
According to the natives Agulnaldo in
| tends to disguise himself and to take a
circuitous trail toward Bayambong. pro-
vince of Nueva Vizcaya.
Maj. March, with 800 men, arrived at
Cervantes, in the heart of the Tilad noun
tains, on the evening of December 3, about
twenty hours behind Aguinaldo, who had
believed he had found an inaccessible ref
uge.
ION December the American comman-
der had a wonderful fight in cloud-en-
veloped mountain pass. 5000 feet above.
the sea, completely routing Gen. Gregorio
del Pillars force of 200 picked men in a
position almost strong enough to rival
Thermopylae.
Gen. Pillar died at the front of his men,
urging them to make a stand, until the
ball of Il sharpshooter pierced his head His
followers tried to carry away the body
but We're compelled to lay it down.
1.-TWO of the Americans were killed and
were buried by their comrades where they
fell The Others carrying nine wounded
camped for the night on top of the noun
tain, an eminence of 1000 feet, suffering
greatly from the cold blasts.
I'm the morning they moved down the
trail to Dugaqui, where they learned that
Aguinaldo with a few men and three wo-
men, all carried on filters borne by Igor
rotes, had passed along the same trail to
Cervantes, where he was during the fight.
A runner had brought him the news of the
death of his chief of staff. He was great
ly affected and prepared instantly for flight.
"Gen. Conception with six officers, who
had deserted Aguinaldo, surrendered when
Maj March reached Cayan, province of Le-
panto.
''On arriving at Cervantes Maj. Marchs
battalion was without food, except rice, and
had only a small supply of ammunition.
Mai March secured five days rations, made
arrangements for the sick and wounded,
and having chosen twenty-five mounted
and 100 unmounted, resumed the chase at
daybreak"

Democrats for the Bill.

The latest canvass of democratic repre-
sentatives favorable to the pending finan-
cial bill shows eight from New York, Mr.
Fitzgerald being added to the seven already
given two from Pennsylvania, including
Mr.. McNeer, one from Maryland, Mr.
Denny, and one from Massachusetts. Mr.
Thayer. a total of twelve. Besides these
Messrs. May and Muller of New York are
classed as doubtful.
Mr.. McAleer was in the House yesterday
after siege of il ness. He said he had not
yet examined the bill fully he desired
but he thought it very probable that he
would vote for 1t.
Il wish to see the financial question
taken out of politics. said Mr. McAleer
My personal wishes would have been to
contine this bill TO a simple enactment of
the gold standard, but this bill goes into
other questions. Still, if l feel satisfied on
examining the bill that 1t will put
stop to using the financial question as a
party foot ball I will vote for it,
