OF Aguinaldo, In the course OF an i'm
terview, says:
1.-THE capture Of Malolos is not as
important Us the Americans are trying
TO make it appear. Tho Filipino gov
ernment had already determined upon
removal TO San Fernando, and a small
detachment OF troops was left with
orders to burn the town aud thus to
draw the Americans inland,

save the Tilipinos their ammunition
and a good deal of trouble, and the
war will not end while single Fill

Of the Spanish prisoners and for pre-
venting tho Filipinos negotiating a

RECEIVERS FOR THE ?. Z c.
G. [. Martin, Robert Gillian and
J, Med. TrlmbIe Appointed,
NEW WORKERS HEADED OFF.

KANsAs Cry, Mo-, April BE. l.,
Martin, first Vice presidents Robert
Gillian, general manager, aud j. Med
Trlmble, general counsel OF the Kan
sas City, Plttsburg g. Gulf Railroad
company, have been appointed re-
ceivers OF the road, The appointments
were made Saturday night at 10
o'clock by Judge James Gibson OF the
jackson county circuit court upon the
application OF G H. Grannls, who is n
director OF the Missouri Kansas and
Texas Trust company, The general
allegation In the petition Is that the
road Is insolvent in that II is unable
TO meet the interest upon It's bonds,
which fell due April 1, and which
amounts to 9575,OOO, and is unable to
clear away certain other debts which
reach total OF between $500, 900 and
100000.
The receivership OF the Plttsburg &
Gulf may be termed friendly one, In
that II leaves the management OF the
road in the hands OF the same men
who have conducted Its affairs since
the day 1t was started The applca-
tlon for a receiver was made In Kan.
sas City because II was learned that
Eastern capitalists who are interested
in the road would apply for receiver.
The April interest on the Plttsburg
& Gulf bonds was due Saturday. Az
the road has outstanding S23, 900, 900
in bonds, which draw per cent In
terest, and as the interest which
should have been paid Saturday
amounted to S575, 900 1t was evident
that something had to be done at
once. President Stilwell has been
in conference with committee
Of the Eastern stockholders
for several days, but no salts
factory solution of the problem
had been found A day or two ago 1t
was learned that the State Trust com
pany OF New York, which holds the
bonds Of the company to the amount
OF S23, ,00O,0 900, was prepared to take
decisive action II the interest pay
ments were not properly met on April
/. AS this is New York concern ii
was plain that II a receiver were APP
pointed on ito application the receiver
would be an Eastern man, who would
take especial pains to look out for the
interests OF the Eastern stockholders

as tho Cross bank, has brought suit in
the federal court here against William
Martindale, vice president aud one OF
the acting managers of that institu-
tion during its existence, to recover
$l66,too The petition gives in great
detail the history of the transactions
which resulted in the failure of the
bank. According to it, most glaring
frauds were perpetrated; tho accounts
were manipulated in an unlawful
manner, and the books were doctored
to make things balance regardless OF
the amount Of the shortage.

These suits are brought under new
antitrust law, which was passed
by the legislature a few days ago. 1t
Is one Of the most sweeping and far
reaching measures OF the kind ever
enacted. According to the attorney

KING OSCAR AS UMPIRE.


| Samoan Question.
WAsHINdToN, April IA joint hlgh
commission TO settle the entire Samoan
trouble has been practically agreed
upon by the United States, British and
German governments. Lord Sails
bury's absence from London alone dc,
lays the formal acceptance by Great
Britain, though, In his absence, Sir
Thomas sanderson and Mr.. Vllliers
who are understood to DO specially
familiar with the Samoan question,
have approved tho plan for commits.
sion' The United States has inform,
ally expressed Its approval, and the
formal acceptance, IL Ia learned from
the highest quarters, will follow
speedily, As the proposition emanatos
from Germany, her approval OF
course, is assured, This high com.
mission, II Is felt, affords a pacific
solution to the whole trouble al the
moment when Samoan affairs began to
look the most threatening.
The new plan has been fully zone
over by Secretary Hay and the British
and German ambassadors here and It's
essential details worked out. Each
nation Is to be represented by ono
member on the commission. II Ia TO
have practically unlimited authority,
without the necessity OF referring It's
decisions back to tho several govern.
ments for approval. II Is felt that by
comforting such complete and flnal
authority on the high commission, tho
danger will be obviated Of any further
deadocks and delays.
Still another important provision
under consideration Is that King os.
car OF Norway and Sweden shall be the
umpire In case the three high commits
sioners should fail to reach determl.
nation. The plan OF inviting King
Oscar to referee disagreement meets
the approval OF the British and Ger.
man authorities, and doubtless will be
approved also by the United States rs
a means Of insurlng flnallty Of decls-
ion, though 1t is not known just how
far this has been considered by the
Washington authorities.
King Oscar was agreed upon be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain as final arbitrator In connec-
tion with the proposed Anglo.Ameri-
can arbitration treaty, as well as in
the Venezuela matter. He is also
mentioned In the treaty OF Berlin as
the one to name chief justice OF Sa.
moa in case the three signatory pow
ers fail to agree on chief justice, It
was this that led to the suggestion OF
his name at the present tirlo to
act as 6nal arbitrator. The expecta-
tion Is that the sttings OF the com.
mission will be In Samoa, where for
the time being, they will have com.
plete authority over the whole range
OF Samoan affairs, so far as the high
commission may think at to net In Or
der to fully restore order and estab-
lish affairs on stable basis II will
require no treaty to bring the COM
mission into existence, as the accept
ances of the United States and Grcat
Britain will complete the agreement.
