have been there for some time and the
officers believe that murder has been
committed by some person or persons,
though it is doubtful if it will ever be
discovered who did it.

About Fresno.

FRESNO, April 19.-Word comes
from vineyardists in and about Fresno,
and particularly east of this city, that
vine hoppers are doing considerable
damage to the vines. Cut worms are
also much in evidence, and threaten to
cause the vineyardists no little amount
of trouble. Heretofore these pests
have not appeared on the vines until
much later in the season.
The hoppers came in swarms. and,
lighting on the under side of the leaves
and tender shoots soon cause them to
dry up, thereby exposing the grapes to
the hot sun.
Up to the present time no satisfac-
tory remedy has been found to exter-
inmate these insects, although some
vineyardists have tried the scheme of
trapping them, with more or less sue
cess.
Last year the vineyards were practi-
cally free from any of these pests, and
some vineyardists We're inclined to
think that the lack of moisture in the
ground kept them away. This year the
ground is in good condition, and the ir-

and every one present had a buttonhole
bouquet of primroses.
A. ]. Balfour, the Government leader
in the House of Commons, was the
chief speaker. He reviewed the posi-
tion of the Conservative party in an op-
timistic spirit. During the course OF
his remarks he said the House of Lords
and the union of England and Ireland
had been attacked, but neither would
be seriously imperiled. The opposition
he added was half hearted, and had not
even decided upon it's leaders.
Continuing, Balfour defended the
budget proposition of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, to reduce the sinking fund, and
said any attempt to destroy the fund
would be a national disaster But he
deprecated driving the system to the
opposite extreme The financial posi-
ton of the United Kingdom, he said,
was sound, and the expenditures for
the maintenance of the empire was well
within its resources, and he further ar
gued that in moments of stress or
strain the expenditures could be aug

sust aimed the objection of the defense,
and said that the Photographic repro

made expert photography a study for
the last ten years, and had been an
expert witness in about eighty cases.

the jurors for inspection. He also

jurors note the way in which almost
each line of the signature of the note
coincided with the corresponding line
in the signature of the deed.
The court adjourned to $50 O'Clock

Mrs Freeman, mother of Frank Free
man. one of the attorneys for the plain
tiff, was held this afternoon.

manding the Manila district" direct
from Manila, on Friday, declaring that
General Lawton, whose object was to
proceed to Baler and effect q junction
with the Yorktown was inveigled by
the Filipino tactics into perilously ex-
tending his. line, with the result that a
column consisting of 140 officers and
men, on reaching place called Binan-
gonam was ambushed by a large Fill
pino force, communication with the
main force was severed and the entire
force was captured
The Filipino advices further assert
that General Lawton, who was at La
guna de- Bay, on hearing tho news, re
tired to Manila. stating that he had
been recalled by Major General Otis On
the ground that a native rising in Ma
Mia was imminent
The foregoing is said to be a separate
affair from the disappearance of the
boats crew of the Yorktown in the
vicinity of Baler.
The Filipinos also claim that they
have occupied the town of Zaaboanga,
in the southern part of the island Of
Mindinao, which was recently aevacuat-
ed by the Spaniards, only few of the
latter remaining to hand over the place
to the Americans
The Filipinos are said to have cap
tured 1000 Mauser rifles, all the ammu-
milton and several Spanish gunboats
which the rebels say they have navi-
gated up the Rio Grande and out of
reach of the Americans.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-The War
Department does not credit the Fill
pino assertions contained in the dis
PATCH because it is believed General
Otis would have cabled, any such dis
aster. 1t is stated that Lawton could
not possibly have had in mind a june
ton with the Yorktown, as there is an
impossible range of mountains be-
tween the points he traversed and the
