city.
Mr. Mott had been playing billiards with
some friends at the City Club, and about
IL o'clock he started for home. He had
gone about two blocks up Stevens Avenue,

mis- hands, emphasizing their threat by
showing the muZZles of two rayolyers into
his face Then one of the masked men
proceeded 10 go through Mr.. Mott's pock-
cts. while his companion kept him covered
with a revolver AS soon as his pockets
were rified of $500 and the watch and
chain one of his assailants struck him
over the head with the butt of his revolv-
er. while the other tripped him up. throw

We're Anxious to Retain Pos
session of Their Arms.
Afraid Americans W0uld Treat
Them As SpaniardS Did.
Surrendered Under Protest, DecIar-
ing That They Only Yielded
to Superior Force.

Manila, March IA letter from Cebu
States gunboat Petrol arrived there on the
21st Captain Bormer, of the British gun
boat Pigmy, and the British Vice Consul
boarded the Petrol Immediately and then
returned to the shore to confer with the
insurgents.
Eight leaders of the native forces board
ed the Petrol in the afternoon and confer
red with Commander Cornweil They were
afraid the Americans would treat them as
the Spanish formerly did-confiscate their
property and shoot them. Therefore they
desired 10 retain their arms.
Commander Cornwell assured them that
the present native government would rule
under his supervision. He gave them until
s o'clock on the following morning TO sur
render.
There was great fear among the foreign
ers that the hill men would come in and
sack the town during the night, SO Land
ing parties were kept in readiness on the
Petrol.
Punctually at o'clock the insursent
leaders arrived with 4 formal written sur
render which stated that they yielded to
superior force, and must await the action
of Aguinaldo, adding that they protested
against the manner in which the Ameri-
cans waged war at this end of the en-
lighteued nineteenth century.
4 company of men landed at half past 3
o'clock and hoisted the flag over the fort
Al four minutes of 10, firing national sa-
Lutte.
The natives turned over the government
during the day. Lieutenant Plunkett was
made captain of the port and Parker col
lector of customs The other departments
of the island administration will be con-
Quoted by natives.
Word was sent to Iloilo when the letter
was written that fears were entertained
that a mob would sack and burn the town.
Landing parties were being held in readi-
ness. This explains the hasty departure OF
the Twenty-third Infantry

THE TOLLS ABOUT MoLINEUx
His counsel Chagrined at the Turn
AEmirs EnNt YnLcn

New York, March 1.-The proceedings in
the Adams poisoning case have resolved
themselves into fierce struggle between
the counsel of Roland b. Molineux. who
was arrested and charged with the murder,
ana District Attorney Gardiner. 10 compel
the prosecution 10 show its hand and pro-
duce all the evidence at its command. This
has been partially forestalied by the dis
trict attorneys motion TO indict. thereby
doing away with any further hearing be-
fore the coroner
An effort was made yesterday TO have
Recorder Goff order a rehearing before the
coroner on the ground that Molineux was
not represented at the inquest by counsel
and was not allowed TO testify or cross
examine witnesses in his own behalf The
district attorney opposed the proceeding
and the recorder decided that the grand
jury could not be prevented from taking
up the case.
Once indicted and committed without
bail MolineuX viii face long term of inn
prisonment before trial. as there are twen-
ty-one murder cases on the docket ahead of
him. Talk of securing his release on a
writ of habeas corpus is not sanctioned BY
his counsel
District Attorney Gardiner says that only
shdll poFtioh OF the evidence against
MollneuX has been presented and that the
strength OF the prosecution may not be re-
vealed before the grand jury, as that body
VIII be satisfied with skeleton outline OF
the case from the prosecution
That the prisoners attorneys are cha
grined at the steady turn affairs have TAX
eh against Molineux is evident.
They deny that the latter was entrapped
by the district attorney, and say that
MolineuX testified freely as an innocent
man. While every effort in behalf of the
prisoner has failed thus far, his counsel
are employing every eXpedient to delay the
proceedings that will take the case to trial.
All the witnesses who testified before
the coroner were notified last night to ap-
pear before the grand jury at IL O'Clock
this morning

A MINUTES SOCIAL CHAT.

Secretary Long fulfilled his social obli-
cation to the President and his official
family last night by giving what one
might almost call an excursion dinner, as
the banquet was served on board the dis
patch boat Dolphin, which was abloom
with flowers and adorned with flags. The
floral decorations of the table were pink
roses and aZaleas, and the main cabin, in
which the feast was served, was forest
like with palms. In additional to the dis
play of national bunting, there foated in
the cabin the special standards of the
President, the Secretary of War, and tie
Secretary of the Navy. Pink tinted can
dies reflected their dainty radiance over
the superb appointments of the table, AMI
the entire boat was illuminated with cleo
tric lights that cleaned pcturesquely
across the water. Secretary Long, with
Miss Long and the officers of the Do phin,
received the President, but no salute was
given, as no guns are fired after sun
down.
The distinguished company consisted of
the President and Mrs. Mckinley, the Sec
retary OF State and Mrs. Hay, the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury and Mrs. Gage, the
Secretary of War and Mrs. Ager, the Sec
retary of the Navy, Mrs. and Miss Long,
the Attorney General and Mrs. GTiggs,
the Secretary of the Interior, the Post
master General and Mrs. Smith, the Secre-
tary of the Secretary of the Navy and
Mrs. Allen Captain Lyon, of the Dol
phin, and wife. and Mir. Hemenway, OF

THIRTY SMALLPOX CASES.
Steam Laundry That Collects
Clothes From Alexandria.


Another case was discovered yesterday
at 307 G Street southwest The victim was
Jerome Ferguson, colored, ten years old.
The house was one of the infected places
under the surveillance of guards Eva and
Howard Ferguson were removed from the
same house to the hospital last week
There are now thirty cases at the smallpox
hospital.
Or. Woodward has learned that there is
at least one steam laundry in the city
which continues to collect clothes from
Alexandria to be washed. Sometimes a
wagon is sent to Alexandria and some
times the wash is sent up on the ferry
beats. DR.. Woodward thinks this source
Of great danger. Clothes once infected and
washed with the clothing of other people
easily spread the contagion, and in view of
the fact that nothing can be done to pre-
vent the laundries bringing clothes here
as long as it cannot be proved that the
clothing is infected he advises all persons
dealing with laundries TO ascertain whether
their washing is mixed with that of people
living in Alexandria.
