LUNA DELAYING PEACE PLANS.
Further Filipino Opposition, How.

MANILA, May 1850 =. M.-General
Luna is reported 10 be making desperate
efforts to restrain the educated Filipinos

jurisdiction from communicating with
the Americans, even arresting Encamino
and Herrera two of the most influential
officials. while on their way to Malolos

This and the removal Of the seat of
government TO Tarlac, thirty miles north
Of San Fernando, may lead TO complica-

is generally conceded that further oppo-

and ridiculous. Neither General Luna nor
General Pho del Pillar has sufficient force
to resist or compel submission.

THE c. & o. FREIGHT OFFICES.
Probability OF Their Being Moved to
Cincinnati.

While the current rumor that the gene
raj offices Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
In this city would be removed TO Gin
clnnati Is incorrect. II is believed that the
general freight offices will be located
there.
Chesapeake and Ohio officials in po-
sltion TO know would neither affirm nor
deny the rumor yesterday. Mr. f.. -.
HOtChkiss, general freight agent Of the
company. stated that he could not dis
cuss the rumOr. 1t is generally credited
About a year ago the freight claim
agents office was removed TO Cincinnati.
There is talk OF the freight agent, Mr..
John i. OrnsdOrff. being made general
freight agent. with headquarters in Gin
cnnati. I'm such case. it is expected that
Mr.. Hotchkiss, who is one OF the ablest
officials Of the Chesapeake and Ohio, will
remain at the offices here in another
capacity.
Chesapeake and Ohio people yesterday
were much interested In a party Of 1888
Dunkards. which were being hauled in
special cars attached to Train No. 2, from
Cincinnati to Washington. They are
bound for Union, Md, but so little was
known of the object OF their going thitber
that there seemed to the railroad people
to be an air Of mystery over the train.

Ghoufish stories Regarding Dispo-

NEW YORK. May 1.-the feature OF
to-day's session of the Mazet Investi-
eating Committee was the unearthing of
an alleged system OF corruption In the
disposition of dead bodies from a city
hospital-a ghoulish tale that was well
corroborated and replete with detail by
several witnesses 1t was stated that an
undertaken named Marren illegally Sc
cured the funerals OF all bodies taken 10
Harlem Hospital. and that he was en-
abled to do this by bribing clerks In the
employ of the city TO break the rules.
1t was also shown that apparently an
acquaintanceship existed between Mar
rem and Messrs. Croker and CarrOn.
A large number OF witnesses were call
ed and a multiplicity OF subjects were
touched upon during the examination.
Another effort was made to get the book
maker, James Mahoney, to acknowledge
that he was connected with pool-rooms.
but this witness added nothing but a 1T
tie mirth to the proceedings. though he
refused to deny the many accusations
made against him.
