BOMBARDED DAGUPAN.
The Cruiser Charleston Shells PHIL
tppine Cty-Spanish Officers Join
the Rebel ARMY.

Manila, April 6.-The United States
cruiser Charleston, which has been
cruising along the west coast of Luzon
to the north, sent a boat in shore near
Dagupan, last Saturday, to make
soundings. The rebels opened fire,
wounding a United States officer. The
cruiser thereupon bombarded the town,
the insurgents evacuating it.
There are persistent rumors that
Agunaldo, the insurgent leader, has
been supplanted in the control of the
Filipino affairs by Gen. Antonio Luna,
commander-in-chief OF the Filipino
forces. Luna is described as being
4 typical beligerent.
The proclamation of the United
States Philippine commission was post
ed in the streets, printed in English,
Spanish and Tagalo. 1t was also dis
tributed in the outside towns as far
as Malolos. and has been received with
marked attention by the natives gem
orally and has been approved by num-
Der of representative Manilians. Eng
lish bankers here, who have been inter-
viewed on the subject, are optimistic
upon the attitude of the Americans, as
suming that it indicates that the decis-
i've policy will undoubtedly be success
full.
Madrid, April 6.-TheSpanish war
minister has received information that
large number of Spanish officers who
had been prisoners in the hands OF the
Tagalos had entered the service of the
latter. Among the prisoners were
some of the Spanish generals staff
and officers of artillery. In Spanish
military circles this is held to explain
the military organization OF the Tagals
against the Americans, which has hith-
rto been ineNpicable.

SMITHERS' RETORT.
lady at the Private Family

Mr.. Smithers is somewhat fastidious
young man who is looking for a new board
ing place. SmIthers can't abide the regula-
tion boarding house, and always tries to live
with private family He is now convinced
that an "ad." which solicits boarders for q
mice private family" is often snare for
stutfy double fiat, inhabited by one small
family and "a boarders.
,Smithers called one day last week at q
place with glowing description Just on the
flank of Michigan avenues aristocracy

thought Smithers, as he took in the dimen-
slons. A collarless negro servant who
opened the door confirmed his suspicious,
but he had gone too far then to back out.
A ssharp-nosed, snippy landlady came in
with toplofty air.
"Er-ah, | believe I am mistaken" he be-
gan. Il supposed / should find a private

Smithers shifted the air. There was dis

turned up his coat collar and fled down the
steps, "that it smells like boarding house,

DID NOT AGREE.
Wide Difference of opinion Between
Witnesses Before the Reef Court.

Washington, April 6.--The two prln-
cipal Witnesses before the beef inquiry
court yesterday were Prof. Russell II.
Chittenden, of Yale college, and DR..
Samuel \. Currie, who was lieutenant
colonel of the Second New Jersey regi-
ment. which was stationed at Jackson
Vile during the war. Prof. thitten-
den is one of the chemists selected by
the government to analyze the canned
roast beef. lie presented his report
showing that the beef generally was
good. No chemicals had been found
by him in its preparation and it was
generally wholesome. He, however,
expressed doubt as to whether the heat
of the tropical climate would not cause
the fat in the cans to liquify and thus
render the food displeasing to the
sight. Col. Davis stated that most of
the cans from which the samples were
taken for analysis had been exposed
to the heat of tropical countries. some
of the cans being brought from Havana
for the test.
DR. Curre testified that the refrigera-
tor beef supplied at Jacksonville had
on some occasions made the men sick.
He had made chemical analysis of the
beef, which in one case showed the
presence of salycilic acid and in an
other of boracc acid.
Maj. Lee presented more of the cor
respondence between Gen. Miles and
the court and put in a request on be-
half of the general that nine of the
13O witnesses whose names he had
heretofore suggested be called, saying
that they would testify concerning re-
frigerator beef and chemically treated
beef. The court did not indicate
whether the request would be com
nled with.

eral nominally in command is deprived
of actual command, so that there can
be no conference of military plans and
purposes. Gen. Grant. who divorced the
army from the command of the secre-
tary of war, afterwards restored the
conditions which had embarrassed the
army commanders for many years.
Consequently, with all respect to the
memory of that great soldier, it must
truthfully be said that it is by his or
der that the army is so disorganized.
This condition OF affairs will continue
under all generals until the congress
shall take action, and enact law which
will make it impossible for anybody to
come between the commanding general
and his troops.
There are ten bureau chiefs attached
to the office Of the secretary of war, all
Of them brigadier generals, and all of
them independent of the commanding

they should be required to serve. in

ANTITRUST LAW.
Proceedings Are TO be Brought in n
Federal Court Against an Alleged
Illegal Combine OF Coal NeaIcrs.

Washington, April 6.-By direction
Of Solicitor General Richards with the
approval of Attorney General Griggs,
a bill in equity has been prepared by
United States Attorney Bundy, bring
ing action in the United States court
FOR the southern district of Chic
against the Chesapeake d Ohio Fuel
Co., of Cincinnati, and Is other COM
panies or corporations, miners or pro-
ducers and shippers of coal or coke,
for violation of the antitrust act of
July 2, 1890.
1t is alleged in the bill that the de-
PENDANTS on December Is, 1897, entered
into contract and combination in the
form of a trust and conspiracy in re-
straint of trade and commerce in re-
gard to the sale and production Of coal
and coke, and in violation of law.
This agreement, it is said, went into
effect about January /, 1898, ana since
that time they have mOnopoliZed and
controlled the amount of coal ald coke
produced in the Kanawha district and
only permitted such amount of coal
mined and coke made by the several
defendants as could be sold by the
Chesapeake &c Ohio Fuel Co., and that
the defendants were only permitted to
ship their proportionate amount of
coal at a stipulated price, figured upon
the ratio designated in the contract as
fixed by the executive committee. BY
this action it is alleged that competi
tion in the sale of the same has been
wholly destroyed.
The court is petitioned to enjoin the
defendants from selling or shipping
any coal or coke into any state other
than that in which they reside, by vir-
tue of their agreement, which the court
is asked to declare illegal and void.

WOULD PARTITION SAMOA.
Germans Desire an Equal Division OF
the Islands Between the Three P' W.
UnIeresfed.

Washington, April 6.-The Samoan
agreement for commission has pro
gresed to the point where the three
governments are exchanging notes as
to the members of the commission.
This is accepted as an assurance that
Lord Salisbury accepts not only the
principle of the commission but the
commission itself, as the consideration
of the British delegate would hardly
be entered upon unless the commission
was assured. The published report
that three commissioners would be
named from each country is without
foundation, as such plan has never
been considered. There will be one
from each country, of about the same
relative rank. 1t is to insure this
similarity of standing that the three
governments are discussing the names
of commissioners, the question being
whether they will be military men,
consuls generals, or officials in the
foreign service.
The semi-oflicial announcement that
the German government will not ap-
point either Consul General Rosenthal
or Consul General Rose as its represen-
in connection with the declaration of a
purpose to select an official of the rank
of consul general for the place, con-
firms the belief of the officials here
that the intention is to name DR..
Schmidt as the German commissioner.
He is now privy counsellor and di-
rector in the foreign office at Berlin
of matters connected with Asiatic and
Samoan policy. He was consul gen.
eral of Samoa at Apia until four years
ago. when he was withdrawn at the
instance of the United States, owing
TO his attitude toward Mr.. Mulligan
the United States consul general there.
The ultimate German aim is a friend
lv division of the islands. to which pro-
position official Berlin believes America
will not object, if its coaling station is
secured.

in time of war. The ten brigadier gen
erals, known as bureau chiefs, are as
follows:
The adjutant general, who is the
military clerk to the secretary of war,
through whom all orders are issued to
the army He is the chief staff officer,
but can issue no orders on his own re-
sponsibility.
The Judge advocate general is the
legal authority of the war department,
and his duties are seldom increased in
time of war, although every other sta IL
officer, including the adjutant general.
have their duties multiplied.
The inspector general is charged
with inspections of the troops, of their
camps, of their food supplies, their
medical supplies and their surgical at
tendance. He inspects their clothing,
their arms, their ammunition, and
everything connected with their hy
gienic surroundings.
1t is the duty of the quartern aster
general to provide quarters for all
armies, furnish them with clothing and
supplies. furnish transportation, horses

kindred thereto.
The commissary general is charged
with the duty of providing food for the
army, no matter how numerous may be
the soldiers. 1t is expected that the
commissary general will purchase and
send to the troops only the best army
rations obtainable; and that he Will
keep the supplies going forward as
rapidly as the quartermaster general
can handle them.
The surgeon general is expected to
furnish medical supplies hospital sur
geons, hospital stewards, hospital
nurses, and all appliances for the COM
fort and well being of the soldiers,
whether in camp or field, and partic-
ularly when the soldiers are cam
paigning and engaging in battle.
The paymaster generals duties are
implied in the name of the office. The
paymaster general is responsible for
the payment of the soldiers, and upon
him devolves great possibility, par
ticularly in time of war
The chief of engineers has charge of
the fortifcations, river and harbor i'm
