PHILADELPHIA, April 2sMatthew
Stanley Quay was yesterday declared
by jury Of his peers not guilty OF the
charge OF conspiring to use for his own
unlawful gain and profit funds OF the
state Of Pennsylvania, deposited in the
Peoples Bank Of Philadelphia.
The charges against Senator Quay
followed the collapse Of the Peoples
bank in March, 1898, and the examin-
alton Of Its books by receiver. The
warrants were issued in the following
October and included, besides Quay
and his son, the names OF Charles s.

wood. On November 81 the grand
jury found true bills against all but
McGee. The suicide Of Cashier Hop
kins Just prior to the banks failure
prevented his coming within the scope
Of criminal action. The indictments
were five in number. These were re-
reduced to four by the death of Mr..
Haywood on February 90 of this year.
One week after true bills had been
found, counsel for Mr. Quay and the
other defendants filed demnrrers to
four of them and moved to qnas'i the
fifth. Judge Finletter on Decem Der
1. 1868, decided against the defend
ants. Counsel then carried the case
to the supreme court, on the plea,
among other contentious, that the
prosecution was actuated by political
motives, which would prevent an inn
partial trial in this county. The
supreme court declined to interfere.
The trial was set for February 20 and
was postponed until the 27th, when it
was again postponed until April 10.

q WASHINGTON, April rs. - During
Sunday afternoon the war depart-
ment received the official dispatch
from General Otis announcing the seri-
Gus result of the scouting party north
east Of Malolos. which resulted in the
killing OF Colonel Stotsenburg and
Lieutenant Sisson of the First Ne
braska, and three enlisted men, be-
sides two or three wounded. 1t is
said that while the loss is SO serious,
the movement was evidently only a
reconnaissance. Quengua. which was
the objective of the party, is an unin-
portant little place of about 5000 in
habitants, halfa dozen miles north
east OF Malolos. 1t is believed the
scout was simply to develop the posi-
ton of Aguinaldo's outposts around
his former capital. The fact that only
four battalions of infantry and four
sections of light artillery were ell.
gagged shows that no general battle
was anticipated. In fact, it is we'll
understood at the department that the
present purpose is merely to keep the
insurgents fairly busted around Malo-
los while all entirely new movement is
being executed. General Lawton,
with about 1000 men, forming fly
ing column, is moving northward
from Novaliches. His purpose is first
to clear the enemy oft Of the jungle
and then, when northwnrd
of Malolos on the flank. The move
ment will either put Aguinaldo be.
tween Macarthur and Lawton, or it
will force Aguinaldo to retreat up the
coast to the northwest. At least it
will cut the communication between
Aguinaldo and the insurgent forces
near the head of the lake. Law
ton is threatening both, and if
retreats from Malolos be-
fore there is chance to onttlank him,
LawtOn will turn SOutheastWard again
and attempt, to run the insurgents Mt

lines along the Pasig.
