CURFEW ORDINANCE.
The Mayor Instructs the Police to Rigidiy
Enforce 1t.

Mayor Mccarthy yesterday issued
mandatory orders to the police to en-
force the curfew ordinance, and arrest
every boy found on the streets after
10 o'clock. So far as requiring parents
to keep their boys at home, when II
will accomplish 1t, Mayor Mccarthy
proposes to put a stop to the thievin ;
operations of boys, which have become
so fragrant of late. 1t was for this pur-
pose that his order to the police was
issued yesterday, and he proposes, he
stated, to see it is carried out. Accord
ingly, people who do not wish their boys
to spend the night in Jail will have to
see to 1t in the future that they are in
before 10 o'clock, the time that the cur
few bell of the city hall strikes.
As a starter to enforcing the ordin-
ance, the police last night arrested four
boys, who spent the night in the city
Jail. They We're Dan Harris, Harry
Murphy and Johnny and Albert Foote

Is not the money which you have
received from Mr.. Heinze for the pur-
chase of this interest conditional on
whether he prevails in this litigation?"
There are no conditions. Whether
Heinze succeeds or fails in this suit is
matter of Indifference to me-"
P. A. Mahoney, the Waterman at the
mine, was the next witness. He said
he was at the mine at the time the
men came down and wanted possession
of the Minnie Healey He stated that
the reason he carried a pistol at rne
time was because he had been held up
only short time before, and not that
he had any notice of intention of any
one endeavoring to take forcible pos
session of the hoist.
Il asked them by what authority
they wanted to put me out, and they
said by Finlen's authority, and l re-
piled that l was working for Heinze
and would stay there until he ordered

Edward l.. Mahoney, foreman at the
Minnie Healey, testified as to the con-
dition of the mine at the time he took
charge of the property.
THE mine had the appearance of not
having been worked for long time.
There was no ore in sight and we did
not begin to hoist pay ore for five
weeks after beginning operations. Dur
ing the time 1 was in charge of the
mine Mr.. Wishon came there only four
times and was down in the workings
only twice. He gave no orders to any
person."
John Hoy, the eminent politician,
he had talked with Finien about the
Minnie Healey, on one occasion at the
Helena hotel: the last time was dur
ing last January At that time Mr..
Finlen stated to him that he was turn
ing the lease and bond over to Heinze
on condition that he took up the bond
and paid all expenses incurred. Hoy
was asked on cross examination wheth-
err Mr.. Finlen made a confidant of him
and told him of his affairs. The wit
ness replied that he did on that occa-
sion.
Did Mr.. Heinze ask you what you
knew about this matter?'
mo, sir"
Then you volunteered this informa-
tion?'
Yes, sir. / am getting no witness
fees and expect no compensation
You are doing all this as a good
citizen, are you, in the interest of
right and justice?"
Yes"
There is nothing in working, you
say?" asked Mr.. Dixon.
Nothing in working for $3.50 day
if you can do better" replied Hoy
During his testimony Hoy made the
frank admission that he did not work,
as there was nothing in it.

of the arrest and imprisonment at Manila OF the
insurgent leader General Pho del Pillar. While TINS
appears in a Manila newspaper yet nothing OF an
official character to this effect has ever been re-
ceived here and the statement is in direct conflict
with cable dispatches OF the last day or two say
ing that General Pho del Pillar Is in front OF Cen

that he is at Manila one OF the peace commits

The same newspaper. under date OF Sunday
April 49, contains OF an attempt TO assassi-
nate General Wheaton. which seems to have either
escaped the attention OF the American newspaper
correspondents at Manila or to have attracted the
blue pencil OF the censor. This item reads:
Last Friday evening Brigadier- General Wheaton
while away from headquarters, was attacked by
one Of his native servants. who made an attempt
upon his life. After attacking him, stones ana
other missiles were thrown at him The General
was brought to the city last night for medical at
