ACCUSED OF HAVING

Nurses Tale of Masked Men and
Robbers Laughed At by the
polioo

SACRAMENTO. June 16.--Chief of Po-
lice Dwyer tonight caused the imprison-
ment of a professional nurse named Rob

his patient James McGregor, an old man
ana d paralytiC, while the latter was

abled timepiece. To round off the story
nicely Mills said he heard the clatter of
horses hoOfs as the robbers sped away in
the darkness.
Mills story was deemed to be lacking
in the element of realism when the police
after prolonged scrutiny failed to find
any fresh tracks of men or horses, and
the doubts which the tale provoked were
not diSsipated when Mrs. McGregOr and
a young woman who were asleep overhead
declared that they had not been awak-
ened by the alleged visit of the burglars
downstairs.
Mills was once trained nurse at the
Railroad Hospital in this city, He was
dismissed by the superintendent, DR.. T.

attempted TO bury some properly on the
grounds The suspicion against him in
fact that when Mrs. McGregor placed the
$500 in the drawer she confided the fact
to him. so that in case of fire, as she told
him, he would be able to save the money.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS ONLY
CAUSE MORE FIGHTING

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Aguinaldo
and his advisers seem to have been en-
couraged by the negotiations instituted
by the Philippine Commissioners to
believe that the Americans are weak
.ening and are anxious for peace. This
lis the conclusion which is drawn in
some quarters from the recent aggres-
sive attitude Of the insurgents to the
south Of Manila and from the attack
made upon General Macarthur to-day
TO the north Of the city
The general Philippine situation was
discussed at the Cabinet meeting to-
day, but as far as can be learned there
is no disposition on the part of the
. President to call for volunteers or to
send General Otis a larger force than
the $4,000 men which he Will have when
the present plans are carried out.
1t has been suggested that the recent
aggressive attitude of the insurgents
may have been brought about by an
idea that the American troops could
not fight during the rainy season. If
this is true Aguinaldo has been given
some object LESSONS which may make
MIN more cCreful in the future. for
both to the south of Manila and in to-
days fight at San Fernando his men
have been driven back with a much
more sever loss than they have been
able to intiict on the Americans.
II is hoped here that General Otis is
correct in his belief that to-day's at
tack vas under the personal direction
of AguinalGO. as in that event his
prestige would probably suffer from
his defeat.

Imp, the Western mare IS by no means
without friends, particularly on her last
race, when she took up d great deal more

very handily.
That sterling handicap horse, Ben Ho1-
liday, is well liked, but there is general
impression that at a longer distance and
later in the year he would do better than
tomorrow.
The California mare, Briar Sweet. has
done some line exercise work and has
been especially prepared for this rae.
and it would not be at all surprising to
see her second choice to BanaStar. The
others are Bannockburn, George Keene
and Filigrane, the Morris three-year-old,
favorite in the Brooklyn and winner of
the Metropolitan. He would have more
friends tomorrow had he not been
worked so hard this week and sent the
Suburban distance, followed two days
later by a mile and half at top speed.
Most of the trainers and horsemen think
that such hard work so short a time be
fore the race IS too much and he will
not have one-tenth the number Of friends
he had in the Brooklyn handicap.
There are a number of others whose
chances are considered small. The rain
of last night has put the track into the
best possible condition and the prospects
for tomorrow could not be better. There
could DE excuse for losers beyond the
lack of speed and staying power, and the
attendance should be a record breaker.
Every horse is absolutely fit and all want
to prevent BanaStar breaking a record

A fitting climax was given at this
point, when Sir Edward Chichester,

the room and was greeted with three
cheers.
