glass manufacturer said to-day that the
demand of the glassworkers will be re-
fused at the meeting which is to be held

confidence is expressed in his ability
to handle the situation, and no attempt
will be made to influence him from
Washington.
1t is believed that Gen. Otis desires
to ascertain now just where the forces
of the insurgents ere located and in
what number. 1t is thought very pro-
bable that in the advance that has been
made from Manila to Malolos the in
surgents have not all retreated along
the railroad track, but some have gone
off into the rough country to the right
of the railroad, and may now be lying
in wait to set upon small bodies of AM
erican troops, or perhaps again destroy
some of the bridges on the railroad,
and for a time cut off communication
between the advance of the American
army from Manila. Gen. Otis will take
measures to prevent anything OF the
kind, and no doubt will ascertain the
location and number of the insurgents.

suit of Aguinaldo and his fleeing army.
1t is thought that while Gen. Otis re-
ports everything call quiet" that he

accommodating the country along the
line of railroad, by which he has been
advancing.
A cable message was received from
Admiral Dewey to-day announcing the

Manila, April 1.-7:30 p. m.-The
American forces commanded by Gen.
Macarthur are resting at Malolos to-
day. The men are in good condition,
considering the fatigues of the cam
paign.
The plans of the rebels, if they have
any, are conjectural.
Considerable rebel forces have been
collected along the routes of Gen Law
ton and Gen. Hall, who are holding the
line from the water works to Lalonia.
There is shooting nightly along this
line, apparently for the purpose of
breaking the Americans sleep. Con-
sequently Gen. Lawton has detailed five
sharpshooters from each company to
attend to the rebels and the Americans
are picking off numbers of them.
1t is reported that 5000 rebels I'M

and Taytay.
Gen. King, this morning, sent out
accommodating party of two compan-
les of the North Dakota regiment and
brisk engagement followed during
which seven Filipinos were killed. On
the American side lieutenant and two
privates were wounded.

THE SIDE OF THE SHEEP
A Comparison of inc Wool an, CaftIe Industries of This Region.

A. Vandervort, who is by far thf
 largest buyer of the local output ot
 wool, mentioned yesterday some inter- esting facts regarding the sheep indus try. He said:
 'FThe cattle men make a practice Ot censuring sheep men and they would like to force the sheep out of existence No doubt sheep form large obstacle to the progress of cattle, and one car hardly blame the cattle men for their actions; but they forget the useless ness of their congratulations. From time immemorial and from the advent of David, sheep have followed cattle and been with them until now and cat tie and sheep will remain inseparable on grazing lands. The kicks Of cattle men will not be avaiiing
 Despite the bad impression which prevails against sheep, the little ami mals are a source of more benefit than is commonly supposed. The city of Phoenix surrounded by the immense fields of alfalfa and innumerable cattle derives less income from cattle than from sheep. That statement may seem absurd or even rash, but few mo- ments study of the matter will at least persuade one to feel more lenient to- ward the sheep industry. While the cattle industry is so extensive it 1s nevertheless scattered, and it is well to remember that it SurnlioS revenue for numDer Of small towns asld places without the city. Whereas the sheep man furnishes a large demand for wOrkmen within the city who re- turn to it after completing their work, with considerable money in their pOck cts and spend it with the residents. Sheep men buy supplies and equip ments direct from the city, and l have no doubt that each one of any note has spent in Phoenix from $1,000 tC $1 300 this year. The total amount ex- pended has reached something like $15O,OOO and that is not a sum to bt ignored. The sheep industry this yea has been about twice as extensive as the proceeding year. Ask your leading merchants if they have not noted ths remarkable difference this year, anu ask them again to compare, with re gard to the welfare of their business the sheep industry with that of cattle
 .''Why the magnitude of this industry is something not generally known In the last two days 1 have shipped eight carloads of wool and three carloads o1 belts I have advanced already $15,- 900 on consignments of local wool for Boston. and the actual value will reach about sS5,000. The total amount of money which has been similiarily advanced on wool alone has been 1T the neighborhood of $125,000 and the sheen which produced that wool repre- sent probably $500, 900. So you see the magnitude of the industry for the sea son just closing, and unless something extraordinary occurs I expect to see il increase proportionally as it has done

Colonel of the First Illinois Volunteers Infantry Arrives in Phoenix
 Talks About Beef.

The colonel of the First Illinois vol
 unteer infantry, Colonel George V.
 Lauman, arrived from Chicago last
 night and took quarters at the Hotel Adams. Colonel Lauman's regiment ] was in the second expedition to Cuba and it laid in the trenches before San tiagO for six days prior to the armiStice The men were under fire during that time and were making preparations to engage with the remainder of General Shafter's corps in the capture of the city when they were notified that the demands for it's surrender had been agreed to.
 The cClCnel was asked as to the eff ciency of General Shafter in conduct ing the campaign. but he refused to make any statement on the subject.
 T feel at liberty, however, to talk to some extent on the much agitated question of embalmed beef" he said,
 although our regiment did not en- counter any of it. There was beyond doubt a lot of the sO-called em- balmed beef prepared by the Armour company, but it was all sent, 1 think, to Porto Rico. The lot was prepared as a sort of experiment and assigned to the government. but the packers were unsuccessful in inducing the gov 0fEm6nt to Slgn a contract for further supplies and 1 believe that the amount sent was incOnsiderable. The packing company refrained from disclosing the fluid used in embalming, stating at the time that they would not do so until the contract was signed and f5r that reason the true nature of it was never discovered, but it must certain y have been very strong as shown by the manner in which it preserved the meats
 '"The climate had a bad enecr On but ter and canned goods, and a slight opening in a can would, in very short time, render the contents unfit for use; and I might say that the complications now arising from the embalmed beef are further involved by the mistaken idea that all meats spoiled in the man ner mentioned were embalmed.

That is, he had been a coal miner at Pana, H.. and had been thrown out of employment by. the famous strike He came west in search of employment. first landing at Bisbee He then started to Jerome, where, he says, he has a brother work ing in the mine. Smiths manner was hat of a liar and the story of going to Jerome to see brother is one told by half the hcbos brought into police court. Smith also spoke of his wife and two children remaining at Pana and as he did so his eyes were filled with tears. So in this he was probably telling the truth.
 Smith was arrested on a charge of begging It is the custom of many hobos to hang about a gambling table.

Smith got fifteen days.

 Williams is inclined now to believe that he made a mistake. He says he thinks he is gone now and he had 8 9remOnitiCn when he started to PhOe- nix that he was taking Q fatal step.
