Attorney Bntterfield and l.. /. Will
liams, local real estare agent, and
was at once taken into custody by
Sheriff Law, who has been looking
for the man for the past two or three
days.
The charge against Falk is of Sc
rious character and was brought about
to legal mind, the instigator to the
young man, S crime being his mother.
Fallk was indebted to his mother in
the sum OF $1,000, which indebtedness
was protected by the fact that the son
owned 1870, acres of land. Last Friday
Mrs. Falk, ST., learned that her son
had conveyed his property to Mrs.
Grace Williams, of this city, and she
Immediately instituted proceedings to
protect her claim against her son. An
attachment was sued out by her attor-
neys. Burns & Stewart, but the young
man could not be found by Constable
Munger, who was deputized by Sheriff
Law TO make service on him.
In the meantime, notes aggregating
about $780, turned up. which purported

MERELY A RUsE.
Otis Cables His Opinion Of lnsurscnt
Request for Conference.

Washington, Oct. D. (By Associated
Press 1.-The following is the dispatch
OF Otis received yesterday: Three in
surgent officers were permitted to en-
ter our lines at Angeles, with twelve
of our soldiers and two citizens, whom
they wished to present as released pris-
oners, yesterday. In conference they
endeavored to present communica-
ton from the insurgent government,
which was declined. Then they pre-
scented paper signd by ten OF the
soldiers, in which the soldiers gave
parole. This was received and held in
allegiance. The insurgent otncers then
said that Aguinaldo desired to end the
war and send civil commission for
conferene. They were informed it
would not be received. They will be
sent beyond the lines tomorrow. The
whole affair is believed to be ruse to
obtain some acknowledgement by the
United States authorities. All the sol
6iers returned were stragglers from
within our lines, captured by robbers.
They say they We're obliged to sign
paroles to procure their release, though
two refused to sign. The whole affair
is of no significance. 1t is viewed as an
|attempt at masquerading.'
Washington, Sept. 29.-(By Associat-
ea Press. Gen. Otis cables the follow
ing report of the capture of Porac:
Lawton's troops at Calumpit and San
Fernando, where the concentrating

ordered to clear the country west and
the Vicinity around Porac, which he
did yesterday, advancing on Porac ear

Thirty-sixth volunteers, capturing Po'
rae and driving the enemy north
Wheaton, at Angeles, kept back by the
enemy on his north, moved westward

The result is the clearing of the coun-
try preparatory to the future opera

five wounded. Wheaton does not re

could detect in his tone and manner a
consciousness of the sentiment prevail
ing in the minds of a majority of the
people this year, which i have found
to be largely against him, and the new
national issue which he put out in the
fusion state platform last August. I
have been in towns where Bryan spoke
in the afternoon, and after he left l

all agreed that Bryan's theories are not

call its highly colored and grossly eN-

that the number of auditors was in
variably overstated by the Bryanite
press agent, the audiences being much
smaller than -in former years.
There is undoubtedly division in all
parties respecting expansion. but the
return of the First Nebraska regiment
from the Philippines has given rise to
a growing sentiment that the insurrec-

can define Il policy respecting. the is
