The last day of the week in the stock
market ended with advances in all parts
of the list and with good net gains for the
entire week. The trend of the market for
the week has been better than in any re-
cent period. Sentiment at the close of to-
days market was decidedly more hopeful
than it has been before recently. The rea-
sons for optimism are many and good.
The money scarcity is growing less every
day and promises to have entirely disap-
peared before the end of the present
month, what with a turn of the tide of
money from the interior and all likelihood
OF gold exports disappeared.

IMPORTANT MOVE UNDER WAY.
GENERAL OTIS SENDS MACARTHUR AND
LAYTON AGAINST THE NEW
INSURGENr CAPITAL.

Washington April "a Information rerefved
u the War Department indicates that General
Otis is about TO execute another important
movement the initial features OF which
shown by to-day's press advices from Manila.
The objective point is the insurgent town Of
Calumpit about eight miles northwest Of Ma
lolos il was here that the insurgents concen-
trated after being driven out OF Malolos, set
ting UP a new capital and making II their base Of
operations In moving on this stronghold Gen
eral Otis proposes TO conduct two distinct opera
tioas The first one. under Major General Mac
Arthur has for it's purpose pushing straight
forward from Maloos along the railroad and
striking at Calumpit from the south. The sec
ond one is under Major-General Lawton, who
with his flying column is moving far around to
the northeast TO the large town OF Norzagaray.
from which point he will turn abruptly west
toward Calumpit This last movement will take
about ten days and military strategists regard
It as another effort 10 flank the insurgents, by
getting behind them at Calumpit similar to the
flank movement which General Macarthur at
tempted to execute at Malabon.
This double operation makes Calumpit the
centre for the next few days. while attention
VIII be divided between MacArthurs column,
advancing from Malolos and Lawton's column
its ten days march by Norzagaray. Mac
Arthur has only short distance TO traverse, so
that his forces may be engaged with the main
force OF the insurgents within the next few
hours. The country is fiat and open. and rather
better for the American troops than that south
OF Maolos. Calumpit is the left bank of
small stream. at Its confluence with the large
river Rio Grande. II is a substantially built
town. with about two thousand houses The ad-
vance OF General Lawton by circuitous route
will be over country Of which little is known
here Norzagaray is a considerable town. and
1t is thought that General Lawton is about there
by this time A road runs all the way from it
to Calumpit- Along it are scattered many small
towns. such as Angat, Bustos and Balinog in
dicating that the advance is through a populous
country. 1t Is an agricultural locality with ex-
tensive rice and fruit plantations. The War
Department map. prepared by the Military In
formation Bureau. shows that this road Joins the
one on which Macarthur is moving I'D from Ma
iolos II is hardly thought, however. that Law
ton Will make junction with Macarthur ba
fore striking Caumpit but rather that he Will

ILOILO CAPTURED By THE NAVY.
CAPTAIN WILDE PROTESTS TOO LATE AGAINST
THE PROMOTION OF GENERAL MILLER.

CAPTAIN WILDE PROTESTS TOO LATE AGAINST
THE PROMOTION OF GENERAL MILLER.
Washington. April 2i-Captain G. F. F. Wilde Of
the cruiser Boston, has protested against the pro-
motion of Colonel Marcus Miller a brgadier-
generaIship as a reward for the capture OF Ioilo
II appears that this capture was effected entirely
by naval forces under the command of Captain
Wilde and that II not until after the capture
had been effected that the place was turned over
10 Colonel Miller who up to that time had nothing
to do with its capture. This action is Endorsed by
Admiral Dewey.
Captain Wilde's protest comes too late 10 be eff
fectve as Colonel Miller promoted TO briga-
ier-general February Is, in recognition Of his
services in the capture OF Iloio. and retired
IN that grade on March q by operation OF law on
account of age. He in command OF the ex-
pedition sent from Manila for the capture OF Ioilo
and the cruisers Boston and Petrol were sent with
him TO render assistance. While the vessels OF the
expedition were lying off the port the natives be;
shots at the Petrol which was anchored nearest
sss sh0 ond receved PERMISSION from CAPTAIN Wde
to respond. At this time, according TO naval ad-
out in the roadstead without communicating with
General Miller. the two warships opened on the
shore batteries and soon silenced them. Lieuten-
ant NibIack OF the Boston. landed with battalion
OF marines and sailors, and took possession or the
Governors house and on the batteries, and turned
the city over TO General Miller on MS arrival an
nOur or so later. Iney kept taPsuieu
however. In spite Of General Millers demand for
them.
This is the naval story OF the capture or lioiio
The official report OF that engagement nrst received
In Washington was made by General Miller 10
the War Department and simply announced the
surrender of that city TO the American forces I'M
der his command without going into particulars
Acting this report and IN view OF the fact that
General Miller had only few weeks more 10 serve
on the active list, the President appointed him to
generals. He is his way home from Manila
and is expected to reach San Francisco in few
days.

GUARDS FOR EASTERN ARMY POSTS.

GENERAL MERRITT CoNFERs WITH WAR DE
PARTMENT OFFICIALS.
Washington April A-Genera Merritt command

sultation with Secretary Alger and Adjutant-Gen-
era Corbin regarding the forts and posts in his de-
partment. The withdrawal OF troops for service in
the Philippines will leave some OF these posts with
out garrsons OF any size 1t has been suggested
that the posts the Northern border might be
abandoned and the decision has been reached not
TO attempt TO keep them up posts. but they will
be placed In charge OF some invaded officers and
small force sufficient TO take care OF them The
forts along the seacoast where modern guns have
been placed must be manned in order TO keep them

COURTS LAST OPEN SESSION

The court held it's last open session to-day.
and is now engaged in the preparation OF its re-
port. 1t has been in session almost ten weeks,
and in addition to daily hearings given in this
city for several weeks sessions have been held
in Chicago. Omaha and Kansas City to afford
the members opportunity personally to in
spect the canning and refrigerating processes OF
the packing houses. Several hundred witnesses
have been examined, most or whom nave been
officers and enlisted men in the Regular or VOL
unteer service. and over 1890 pages OF testimony
have been submitted. This morning the court
decided not to accept a report made by Lieuten-
ant-Colonel Darlington, OF the Inspector Gen
erals Office This had been transmitted TO Cen
eral Miles through Inspector General Breckin-
ridge. The report OF Colonel Darlington covers
haustvely into the reports made by officers and
men without drawing any general conclusion.
The court. in explanation OF its refusal to accept
this report in evidence, made the following
statement:
The report OF the investigation conducted BY Lieu
tenant-Coone Darlington, Inspector General IN
der the orders OF the Major-General comnand!ng.
contains the result OF an inquiry CARED fb on
places as that ntrused to this court by the Presl-
Colonel Garngoh bas submitted "t the names
witnesses. and from time 10 time has suggested
Considered by the court OF The reports which We're
furnished him by officers OF the Army have been
Of these facts and It does not appear that
Colonel Darlington had any other or better means
OF Information than accessible to the Court
at stage OF its Inquiry II Is ordered that the
report be not received in evidence.
At the afternoon session Recorder Davis read
brief reports from Inspector General Breckin-
ridge and two OF his subordinates Major Philip
Reade and Lieutenant Colonel Darlington. as to
the result OF their individual work and OBJ
servations. General Breckenridge condemned
the canned beef ration, and. speaking generally.
said that, while the Army ration fulfilled all the
scientific requirements to food values. it's
component parts should be changed to meet the
conditions OF service. AS the ration was
fixed by law. this was a matter for Congress
to remedy. He also suggested that articles re-
CURED by sick and convalescent soldiers should
be added Major Reade's report was mainly de-
voted to the lack of camp equipments among
certain regiments. and that Of Colonel CARING
ton to the result Of his personal inspection OF
the camps of the country.
The court then decided that II any Of the dep
ositions for which General Miles had called
should be received before the completion OF the
report they should be admitted as evidence
subject TO the courts limitations.
Major Lee then summed up the case. and
when he closed with the statement that the
members Of the court must decide whether
the great fraud and great crime which he be-
lieved had been committed should be carried
before the courts Recorder Davis arose and said
simply II submit the case to the Board with
out argument"

USE OF PRESERVATIvEs

Major Lee dwelt at length on the question as
to whether personalities had been used the
beef and quoted from the testimony bearing
on that point. particularly that Of Or. W. II.
DAILY contending that it was established beyond
all doubt by competent and trustworthy testi-
mony that the beef furnished TO the troops In
Florida had been subjected to some process 10
insure it's keeping the specified contract time
He then said
1t must be clear that, as secret chemical process
was used with meat delivered troops at that
point. similar would no doubt be made OF such
process other points, or for all shipments where
II might be deemed necessary as preservative or
the refrigerated beef.
Referring to the credibility of witnesses Major
Lee said
Returning for a moment TO the subject OF credi-
biity OF witnesses, we deem II proper to say-but
In no offensive sense-that OF all witnesses where
sef-interest stands out conspcuoUsly the hfty-one
Their readiness. zeal and volubity when on the
stand. their eagerness to palate. excuse and deny
meats. must account for much OF the most remarS-
able testimony ever given before court The ON
and soldiers OF our Army may go wrong. the
people may err other interests may be full or de-
fects and Irregularities, but II there is ANYTHING
all these virtues will be found in overwhelming
abundance in the packing houses OF our country;
such testimony Is like much Of the roast beer com
planned of-somewhat overlooked.
In summing up his case Major Lee mace the
following assertions:
1t was perfectly practicable to have had at al, ai
times herds OF fat cattle at every camp IN the
United States meet any and all exgencles OF ser
vice as they might arise.
At no time during the war was there any eHtI-
gency calling for food supplies by other tnan the
