MANILA, June 16.-Captain Cable OF
General Wheaton's staff, with three
companies of the Twenty-frst regi-
ment, reconnoitered in the direction OF
linus. The rebels, who were appar-
emily expecting an attack, retired, leav-
ing behind them 20 Spanish prisoners,
who joined the Americans.
The rebels have probably gone to the
mountains along the lake.
According to native stories the rebels
carried 100 dead and 800 wounded
through Bacoor after the recent battle.
The natives were flooding into Bacoor
and it was probable there was many
many soldiers i'll plain clothes among
them.
The whole section was practically
without food and Major General Otis
ordered the distribution OF rice and
beef to the inha
Many people refused TO credit the
stories of the assassination OF General
Luna BY the guard at AguinaldD's head-
quarters. Though the reports TO that
effect are most circumstantial and from
good sources, rumors of assinations and
disasters from the rebel camps are so
that they have come to be regarded with
Indifference. The latest is that the gov
ernor of Cebu has been killed by natives
because of his friendship TO Americans.
\ prominent commercial lnan with
exceptional means of learning of the
Filipinos' movements iclaims TO know
General Luna is still alive. adding that
if he is dead and if his death occurred a
month ago people would have expected
collapse of the revolution to follow.
The failure of the Fihpinos to follow up
the peace negotiations strengthened the
impression that their overtures We're
merely to gain time and i'll order to lure
the Americans to show their hands.
The Independence, Il revolutionary
organ, of May 20, a copy of which was
obtained, printed an interview with
General Luna showing the arguments
he used TO keep up the spirits of his fol-
lowers. He represented the Filipino
cause as prospering,' because the Amer
icans have gained only a hunGredth part
of Luzon by hard fighting" and said
the women and sehildren tilling the
fields within the American lines give
the proceeds of their work to support
the Filipino army. He was said TO have
further remarked:
More Americans will be killed by
ambuscades, surprised and diseased than
in battles
Il detest war, but we cannot accept
peace at any price but independence.
The Americans suffered for their own
independence and in their. hearts they
appreciate why we resist them

ARBUCKLES IN TO STAY.
Would Continue to Fight
the Trust.

WAsHINGToS, June 16.-The indus
trial commission held only an afternoon
session and heard but one witness, j..
n. Jarvie of the firm of Arbuckle q
Bro, and manager OF the firms sugar
refining business. Mr.. Jarvie's testi-
mony was brief He was easy anu
courteous in his attitude toward his in
Guisitors. refusing to answer only one
question, viz, how much it cost his
company to refine sugar. He SAID he
did not wish to give informatinn of that
sort to his business competitors.
His firm, he said, had never cut the
price of sugar except to meet the rates
of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, commonly known as the sugar
trust. When asked If the Arbuckles
would continue to meet their rlyais
figures ne replied decisively that his
firm was i'll the sugar business to stay.
Beyond that he did not wish to go.
He explained the entrance of the Ar
buckles INTO the sugar field by saying
that in 1898 they secured a machine for
weighing and packing sugar and under
took to sell package sugar to the whole
sale trade. They bought from the
American Refining company, but found
they could make no profit in that way,
and so started their own refinery. He
said the tariff differential of one-eighth
of cent pound on refined sugar dId
not figure IN the business just now.
Domestic competition was so sharp as
to keep out all foreign sugar.
Mr.. Jarvie said there had been many
overtures from the sugar trust to settle
the differences with the Arbuckles, but
they had all been made for .'stock job
bing purposes and consequently there
had been nothing i'll them.
Witness, in speaking of the coffee
business, i'll which the American Sugar
Refinery had invaded the Arbuckles'
field, said that while there had been Il
decline in prices that it would not be
fair to lay it all to competition, as there
had been Il great increase in coffee pro-
duction all over the world, last year S
crop going from IL 100000 to 10000. 900
bags.
Asked if he could suggest any plan
that would lessen the present destruc-
tive competition in the sugar business,
witness said that the fight could stop
only when the one big concern decided
to be content with less than 100 per
cent of all the business in the country.
When asked how long the rival COM
panies could keep on selling sugar at Il
loss, Mr.. jarvie replied cheerfully that
he thought a concern supplying so pei
cent OF the sugar sold i'll this country
would lose more under these conditions
than the firm supplying the other 10 pei
cent, aud that he had the 10 per cent
end of the bargain.

Were Hundreds Who Witnessed the
Most Marvellous Healing Ever
Effected In Akron.
The Boy Phenomenon Greeted With
Thunders of Applause as He
Made the Blind See, the
Deaf Hear and the
Lame Walk.
Akron Is Wild With Excitement and the
Boy Phenomenon and His wonder
full Magnetic Power Is
the Cause.

Again, last night, was the Grand
Opera house crowded to its utmost
with our best citizens. News of the
wonderful cures performed by the
Boy Phenomenon at his previous
and long before the time of opening
a surging mass of humabity was con-
gregated in front of the house.
While it was the second public
demonstration, the excitement was
greater and more interest was mani
tested than on the previous occasion.
Many hundreds We're turned away,
unable to even obtain standing room.
The wonderful exhibition of restOr-
ing to health a score or more of de-
formed and afflicted persons by the
Boy Phenomenon was a sight never
to be forgotten. Truly, indeed, were
the lame given the use of their limbs,
the deaf made to hear, the blind to
see and other chronic diseases sue
cumbed to his wonderful power.
One of the most notable cases
treated was that of James Groark of
405 Forge ST., well known citizen
who has been afflicted with paralysis
of the left side for u years. He was
dSslsbcu ~ litt Sbd5O ny ONO lICh anu
the healer began his magic manipu-
lations, which consisted merely of "a
succession of gentle rubbings and
light, dextrous tappings of the af-
fected parts. But the results were
magical and startling. At every
touch of his magnetic hands the eff
feet was visible on the countenance
of the patient. The rubbing occupied
less than three minutes, but in that
short time he was able to rise and
walk across the stage and back to
his seat greatly benefited and going
through other actions which he
stated he could not have done five
minutes previous for all the money
in the world.
For over an hour such scenes We're
repeated, during which time nearly a
score of cases were treated, of as
many different diseases, each case
seemingly worse than the proceeding
one, and the results obtained were
more gratifying and successful. 1t
was the most marvellous demonstra-
tion of magnetic healing ever accom-
plished in this section of the country.
There was day when magnetism
as curative agent was doubted, but
that day has passed. The Boy Phen-
omenon has effected too many re-
markable cures of well known citi-
zens that cannot be disputed. They
have been witnessed by thousands of
people, who are now compelled to
admit that vital magnetism does
cure the afflicted.
The Boy Phenomenon will remain
in Akron at the Buchtel Hotel some
weeks where those who desire pri-
vate consultation or treatment may
obtain same by calling any day ex-
cept Sunday from 10 am. to pm.
Entrance to offices is via the Main
street door.
