Kansas City, Mo-, April "A receiv

Gulf railroad was asked of Judge Gibson
of the circuit court by Charles L. Granni.
and other stockholders ad creditors. The
application was granted and Judge Glib
son appointed the following named Of
ficials of the road as receivers: E. L. Mar.
tin, vice president; Robert Gilman, gen.
eral manager, and j. Med. Trimble, at.
torney, all of this city. Considerable mys-
terry seems to surround the affair Presi.
dent A. Z. Stillwell of the road when tel
ephoned at his home at / o'clock this
Sunday morning denied any knowledge
OF receivership. 1t is believed the re-
ceivership is a friendly one.
The interest due amounted to 1915, 900
and it could not be met. When this fact
became known movement was inaugu-
rated to secure the appointment of a re-
eeiver who would be specially friendly to
the eastern interests OF the road. This
move was checkmated by the preparation
OF the papers for the appointment of local
receivers.

REBEL ARMY IS Scattered
WILL FIGHT IN SMALL BANDS.
Their Army OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Are
Advantageous of the Natives Are
Returning to Their H0mes-AKuinaIdo
Retreats to the Mountains.

Manila, April 1.-The main part Of
General MacArthur's army still rests in
Malolos. Our scouts today penetrated as
far north as Calumpit, and then off to the
eastward without finding trace Of Agui-
naldo's army. We shall probably advance
to Calumpit tomorrow.
Hundreds of native men and women
who fled before the advance of our troops
are returning to their homes. Every
thing shows that Aguinaldo's forces are
scattered in confusion. Our scouts and
skirmishers are searching in vain for the
staggering Tagalos. The rebels can not
retreat much further northward up the
valley without abandoning the Tagalon
country and getting among unfriendly and
hostile tribes in the provinces of Tarlac
and Pangasinan. The only safe line of
retreat now left to Aguinaldo and his fol-
lowers is eastward into the mountains OF
the province of Neuva Ecija. The Filipino
government is at San Fernando, at the
northern end of the railway line. Malolos,
where our troops now are, is about half
way between Manila and San Fernando.
AguinaldO's Army Melts Away.
Chinese residents report that Aguinaldo
has but 400 men left with him there.
Aguinaldo and his staff were the first to
leave Malolos, taking special train on
the railway to carry them to place of
safety. Prisoners say that the insurgents
refused to obey the orders of their gen
erals and make a stand at Malolos, SO a
retreat was of necessity decided upon.
Natives ClamOr for Peace.
A vast multitude of natives who have
been driven northward are anxious to re-
turn home, but are held back by armed
Tagalos. This homeless population has
sent committee to plead with the insur-
gent government to make peace. Our
prisoners declare that before the people
will consent to be driven into the noun
tains by Aguinaldo, they will force him
to surrender or break through the insur-
gent lines. After grinding down the peo-
pie, reducing them to absolute slavery and
telling them stories of victories over the
Americans Aguinaldo is said to be now
claiming that the Americans will offer
terms of peace and compromise.
Four Americans Vanished.
Entering the prison of Malolos today
found the names of four American pris-
oners written in charcoal on the walls
They We're H.. Huber, William Bruce, AL
bert Sonrichsen and E. Honnyman. The
natives say four prisoners We're several
times marched through the streets to be
jeered at and maltreated. There is no
trace of them now.

The smelter will be of sufficient ca

Creek, Col, district for the month Of
