Manila, June 1.-Details regarding

boats and went sailing along the shore
on the south, opposite the insurgent
lines.
The boat became becalmed near the
shore, and some native canoes with Fill
pinos on board put out and captured the
two men, who were unarmed, and also
took possession of the boat.
The United States turret ship Monad-
mock quickly sent Il boat with II landing
party ashore under cover Of her guns
and shelled the shore briskly.
The natives. however, rushed the pris-
oncrs into the woods before the Monnd-
nock's boat reached land. Persons on
board several other ships saw the affair
through glasses. but were unable to pre-
vent the capture of Mcssrs. lleppy and

A Reign of Terror.
Friendly natives arriving here from
the country around san ISidro and San
Miguel report that reign Of terrorism
has prevailed since the American troops
were withdrawn from these parts Of the
islands.
The insurgents who are returning
there deal vengeance upon their coun-
trymen who have shown amy friendship
toward the Americans during the latter $
occupation of the territory.
The friendhcS declare unuifcnding pco-
pie are being murdered daily and that
their houses are being burned and their
property contlScatcd.
Plenty of sympathzers with the inSur-
rection remained during the Americans
stay and they have been reporting these
instances of friendlincss toward our
troops.
The refugees add that the inhabitants
were bndly oppressed 10y the native sol
dicrs before the American occupation. but
that their condition is worse now. Doubt
less there is much truth in these reports,
though such stories from Filipino sources
are always magnltod.

WILL REDUCE THE COST
OF LIQUEFIED AIR

NEW YORK, June 29.-For the first
time in this country a plant has been
established and practically operated for
the production of liquefied air or liquid
air, as it is called commercially. This
plant has been devised and constructed
under the direction of Oscar p Oster-
gren and Moriz Burger, and is located
a t 81 West Thirty-third street. 1t is
capable, with 100 horsepower developed
by steam. of manufacturing about 1900
gallons of liquefied air in twenty-four
hours, or about one gallon a minute
Its practical success is demonstrated
by two facts. 1t can produce liquefed
air, comparing equal expenditure of
power, three times as rapidly as the
best apparatus devised by Professor
Linde of Munich and at about one
third the cost. The cost of liquefying
air by the Ostergren process is about
one-third that of the process used by
Charles f. Tripler of this city. Oster-
gren and Burger expect to reduce
further the cost of manufacturing lique-
fed air from TO 8 cents per gallon, as
at present, to about cents.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, June 29.-AbOut two
months ago a woman arrived in town
calling herself the Princes Won. Ben
theim. Her full name and title was
given as the Princess Louise Charlotte
Moriana Johanna Won Bentheim, and
after the expiration of two months
several people have learned to their
sorrow, it is alleged. that the Princess
has a record as long as her name.
Rev. Father Lagan is the latest person
to suffer at the hands of the so-called
adventures and he has proved such a
tartar that it is likely the titled lady
will soon seek a change of climate.
When the Princess first reached here
she went to the Cypress Villa Hotel for
board and lodgings. There she related
fairy tale to the proprietor, W. F.
Warburton, and so enlisted his sympa-
thies that she managed to get accom-
modations valued at $50 for nothing.
Two weeks ago Princess Louise told
WarburtOn that her husband and seven
children had died at Piedmont four
years ago At her residence there she
claimed to have costly lamp and a
pair of vases, both of which were rep
resented as gifts of the Car of Russia
These, she asserted. she intended to
present WarburtOn for his many acts of
kindness
On the same day the hotel-keeper was
astonished to discover that the woman
had ordered a lamp and pair of vases
for him from a local dealer, but had.
failed to pay for them. The Princess
left the house after this expose and
did the town" to a brown turn so far
q 10 in haI
a considerable sum by her operations.
A few days ago Father Lagan dis
covered that the Princess had taken
advantage of the fact that an enter
tainment is to be held at Larkspur for
the benefit of the Catholic church on
July 3 and had issued circulars for an
entertainment at the same place on the
evening of July l.
Across the bottom of these circulars
was a statement that the event billed
for July 1 was for the benefit of the
Catholic church. These delusive words
proved a snare to the thOughtless and
a source of revenue to Princess Won
Bentheim until Father Lagan heard of
her venture and last evening verbally
chastised her on the street as a titled
fraud and an fmpostOr. The woman
quickly walked away and had not a
word to say in reply. -.
A peculiar thing is that the woman is
really remarkable musician and had
been secured to furnish music at
Father Lagan's entertainment In dis
cussing the affair this evening Mr..
Warburton said:
Upon investigation I find that this
womans career is not limited to San
Rafael. She has sWindled people in
Sacramento, San Luis Obfspo and Mo-
desto. She claims that she has a
second husband. living in Knoxville.
Tenn. I forced her to leave here. and
have since heard of numerous persons
imposed upon by her. She is a
dangerous woman and should be at -
tended to by the authorities"

BONDHOLDERS SUE
THE RAILROADS
FOreCloSe Central Paci-
fic Mortgages.
Special Dispatch TO The Call.

SACRAMENTO, June 29.-Suit was
brought in the Superior Court of this
county this afternoon by D. O. Mills
and ogden Mills, trustees for holders
of bonds upon the railroad properties
of the Central Railroad Company. as
plaintiffs. VS.. the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company. the United States of
America the Metropolitan Trust Com
pany of New York, and the Southern
Pacific, as defendants.
The attorneys of record for the plain
tiffs are Paterson, Brown & Slack of
San Francisco.
Judge Paterson. when asked to-day
for an explanation of the suit, said:
This action was brought to foreclose
the lien of series A of the first mort
gage bonds of the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company, issued July %. 1865, to
D. O. Mills and William E. Barron, as
trustees. The face value of all the
bonds secured by the mortgage is So,
5000. The mortgage covers the
properties of the Central Pacific Rail
road Company from Sacramento to the
eastern boundary of California. The
bonds matured July l, 1895, but on
April q, 1895, the trustees, with the
consent of the bondhOlders, extended
the time for payment until January l,
1898 On August 5. 1897, a further ex-
tension of time was granted until the
list day of December 1898. The COM
pany, having failed to make payment
within the time stipulated, on June 81,
1899. the holders of more than fifty
bonds requested the trustees to COM
mence foreclosure proceedings.
LAS the bonds matured on July /,
1895, the statute of limitations would
run against the bonds within four
years, thereafter, or on July 1, 1899. 1t
was necessary. therefore, in the pro-
lection of their rights, as against sub
sequent lienholders, that the bondhOld-
ers should file this suit to prevent the
running of the statute against their
claims, and the suit is brought for that
purpose alone, as l understand it. At
least, we are not instructed to do any
thing more than to file complaint.
The action is necessarily brought in
one of the four counties through which
the road covered by the mortgage ex-
tends, namely, Sacramento. Placer. Ne
vada and Sierra. We do not expect a
judgment against the United States.
which cannot be sued. The Govern
ment however, can be notified of a pro-
ceeding against property in which it
claims an interest, and in that way
we think its equity of redemption may
be determined"
