ECHOES OF THE VAR.

American tenderfeet in and around Manila
in the early stages OF the war game placed
much confidence in the professions of the
class of natives called Amigos class of
non-combatants found in towns evacuated
by the insurgents. There are two classes OF
"amigos'-the real non-combatants and the
natives who are unarmed only when closely
pressed by our soldiers. Both profess the
greatest friendship for the Americans, and
these professions are responsible for much OF
the news reports announcing at different
times the dsintegration of the rebellion,
But our officers have learned by experience
to place little faith in professions of native
friendship. In truth every one Of them Is
loyal to the cause of Aguinaldo and serves
that cause whenever opportunity offers. A
correspondent OF the New York Criterion
writes as follows on that point "As to
loyalty, these little brown people surely
show it to their own cause. Looking out
through his Office window across the plaza
of Malolos, General Macarthur pointed to a
group of amigos, as the pacifcos here are
called When l first started in against
these rebels said the general, L believed
that Aguinaldo's troops represented only a
faction. l did not like to believe that the
whole population of Luzon--the native popu-
lation, that is-was opposed to us and our
offers of aid and good government. But
after having come this far, after having
occupied several towns and cities in success
sion, and having been brought much into
contact with both insurrectos and amigos,
have been reluctantly compelled to believe
that the Filipino masses are loyal to
Agunaldo and the government which he
leads.
" 1T is beyond any question that these ami
gos know much about the movements and
plans of the insurgents They could tell
me where the insurgents are to be found in
greatest force; they could tell me where
Aguinaldo gets his food supples they could
tell me the numbers of the enemy at various
points. Do you think they are doing it?
Neither by threats, promises, offers Of re-
ward, nor by assurances of safety can l per-
suade one of these amigos to talk against
the insurgent cause. They tell me that they
are friends of ours; that as far as the in
surgents are concerned they know nothing.
And no art that we are master of will get
any information from them. At first
thought this reticence was due to fear of
Aguinaldos vengeance. 1t cannot be that,
for the most stupid of these natives within
our lines must now realize that Aguinaldo
can never hope to take Manila

GREAT BOILER II

AN IMPERATIVE DEMAND
OF the Pig Iron Furnaces Will be Sup
piled Very Soon.
ENGINES, BOILERS AND CASTINGS
To Be Supplied By Great Firm That
Will Establish Itself Here as
Soon as -Practica-
BILE.
ENGINES, BOILERS AND CASTINGS

The r. d. Cole Manufacturing Company
of Newman, Ca, the largest boiler and en-
CINE makers in the south, will establish
a plant at Birmingham. R. d. Cole, Jr.,
general superintendent, and NJ. F. Cole,
secretary and treasurer of the company,
have been in the city for two or three days,
and have been shown around the district
by w. II. Kettig, pres. dent of the Miner &
Kettig Company, the leading hardware and
engine supply company of the gulf states.
Mr.. Kettig said to an Age-Herald reporter
that he had no doubt that the Cole COM
pany would very soon establish plant
here, and would gradually remove from
Newman to Birmingham their entire plant.
This would require two or three years in
carrying out in its full details. Meantime
a plant would be built here as a nucleus
around which the greater plant should be
gradually gathered. .e
1t would be practically impossible to
transplant so great an industry at once.
The pant the Cole company have in view
is to furnish the iron furnaces with the
necessary castings and other supplies. The
other day the Thomas furnaces needed cer-
tain fixings, which the manager was obliged
to order from Cincinnati and other western
points. The Cole company are assured that
if they will establish a plant here. such
work will be given to them instead of be-
ing sent elsewhere. =
1t is this furnace" bus ness that is actu7
ating the Cole Manufacturing Company. In
a material sense they are obliged to have a
plant at Birmingham in order to meet the
demands of the district. They manufacture
boilers, tanks, engines, and practically all
supplies of that character required in Biz
mingham and the mineral region.
The Cole company are not seeking money ;
they have enough of their own for all their
wants. In the private commercial reports
of the leading agencies they are rated at
from 100000 to $1,OOO,0JO credit, and they
do work unsurpassed in the United States.
Decidedly the building of the initial plant
here is. Of vast Importance to Birmingham
and the district. a.r sl..,q4z

POLICE COURT
NggNSsEENNSslEGNN2ls
The shoplifting Cases

The cases against Jennie Banks, who,
with Leonora Wells was implicated in the
now well-known case of shoplifting from
a number of merchants in this city week
or two since, were taken up in the police
court yesterday, and the result of it was
that before the trial was over, her attorney
waived the examination, to take the cases
direct to the higher courts.
Jennie was found not guilty of stealing
from Caheen's store, and she was also
tried yesterday for stealing from Mays
store. The question on which this case
as well as all the other cases hung, was
a confession which the two women are said
to have made several hours after their
arrest. 1t was shown, however, that just
after their arrest Mr.. Boggan, of Marks
store, who is the principal witness for the
prosecution, told the women that they
could not make bond unless they told
where one of their "chums', was, who, is
was supposed. had some of the goods. This,
the defense commended, was an inducement
held out to the negroes to make a confess
sion, which they did make several hours
later, and that it should not be admitted
as evidence The prosecution claimed
though. that before the confession was
made, that two officers had told the women
that they were entitled to make bond DO
matter whether they told on their chum
or not. Judge Feagin held that under the
circumstances the inducements which had
been offered was entirely removed before
the confession was made, and that such
confession would be admissible as evil
dence. Mr.. Bowman, the defendants at
torney, Immediately afterward announced
that he would waive the preliminary and
take his case to the higher courts
Besides the larceny of goods from the
stores of Caheen and Marx, these two
young negro women will also have to
answer for an alleged shop-lifting of goods
from Lovemand, Joseph & Loeb and from
Kline's store ..+-- -.

TO KEEP Pixies IN ORDER.
Toll Gates Will Probably Be Put in in
;3 Madison County.

Huntsville, March s. Especially = The
county commissioners have under consid-
Grafton the idea of putting toll gates all
pixies in Madison county for the purpose
of raising funds to keep the pixies in re-
pair. The present, annual road fund set
aside for the purpose is inadequate to keep
up the system of pixies and something will
have to be done quickly to raise more
revenue or all the pixies will be hopelessly
ruined. The county. commissioners will not
be quick to act on this matter but will
await expressions from the people.
There are $50 miles of pixies in Madison
county, almost every mile of which is out
of repair. The county has expended over
$4,000 on pixies in the past ten years and
many thousands of dollars each year to
keep them in good condition.
