The rails and ties held together. and
there was nothing to indicate the in

struck the washout and was derailed
in the ditch beside the track, ant be-

was found that there was no possibil-

The Christian SCIENTISTS Trial.

Buffalo, May 3O.-The preliminary
trial Of Mr.. and Mrs. Kinter and Mr..
and Mrs. James c. Saunders, Christian
scientists, charged with being respon-
sible for the death of young Rolfe
Saunders, was resumed yesterday. AS
little or no evidence against the wo-
men has been brought out they were
discharged. The answering Of hypo-
thetical questions by number Of regu-
lar practitioners took up most of the
time. The answers to these questions
tended to show that had medical as
sistance been summoned young Saun-
ders would have stood an excellent
chance of recovering from the attack
Of pneumonia which resulted in his
death.

could be paid The balance must wait
until Paymaster Randall returns from

Thy HOHDe For Victories During INC
Rainy Season.
ianila. May 29.-The approach OF
III wet season finds the insurrection
SEEMINGLY taking a new lease Of life.
Al alongthe American lines the rebels
ar. showing more aggressive activity.
intheir guerilla style, than at any time
before since the fall Of Maiolos. They
kosp the United States troops In the
trenches, sleeping in their clothing
and constantly on the alert against
dashes upon our outposts, and they
make life warm for the American
garrisons in the towns.
The bands Of General Luna and Gen
eral Maszardo, which retreated toward
Tarlac when they feared they would
be caught between General Macarthur
and General Lawton, have returned In
force to their old trenches around San
Fernando, where there are daily colli-
Mons.
Opposite our lines on the south, pro-
tecting Manila, all the way around to
San Pedro Macati, the Filipinos have
three rows Of trenches most OF the
distance.
Reports from prisoners indicate that
the insurgents construe the peace enego-
tiations to mean that the Americans
have had enough Of fighting. The
Filipinos are also encouraged by the
belief that the Americans are prepar-
ing for an interval of inactivity dur
ing the wet season.
This period is sure to be followed
by much suffering. Thousands Of
Acres that were under cultivation last
Year have not been plowed this year,
and the government will probably be
obliged to feed thousands. just as 1t
fed the Cubans.

70 ENF0RCB CIVIL LAWS
General Otis Re-Establishes tho
Courts in the Philippines.
TIE SPANISH SYSTEM REVIVED.

Local British and American Interests
Endeavored TO Have the English
Code and Language Adopted-Cap.
tain T1liey q Victim OF Treachery.
Mantle, May S0.-An order has been
issued re-establlshing the Philippine
courts. which have been closed since
The American occupation. It revives
NIL the Spanish system not conflicting
with the sovereignty OF the United
States.
The chief Justice Is Cayetano Arre-
lano. The associates Of the civil
branch are Manuel Araulla. Col. Crow
der and Gregorio Aranita. The JUS
tices of the criminal branch are Ray
mundo Mell!iza. Ambrosia Rianzares,
julio Lorento. Major Young and Cap
tain Birkhimer. The attorney general,
is Florentio Torres. This corresponds
with the American supreme court.
The Filipino members are all
prominent lawyers. Arrellano is the
leader Of his profession in the islands.
In the early stages OF the Filipino
cipal adviser. Aranita was a member
OF Aguinaldo's first cabinet. Melliza
was president Of the insurgent govern
ment at Iloilo. Torres Ia the leader Of
the local committee working with the
commission to conciliate the insurrcc-
tionists.
Spanish will be the Official language
of the courts. There has been agita-
tion among the local British and
American business men and American
lawyers who came to the Philippines
to make fortunes to have the English
code and language adopted, but Major
General Otis concluded that 1t would
be unwise. even II practicable. to upset
long usage.
The Spanish salaries proved stum-
bling block to obtaining good men, the
highest being only $500. the Spanish
judges receiving fees, which are abol-
ished.
Two correspondents Of New York
paper have been disbarred for fabri-
eating an interview with General
I.awton, dated Manila. May %, and for
evading the censorship.
II new appears that the attack on
the men of the signal corps at Escana-
late, on the island of Negros, was the
result OF vilest treachery. Captain
fTilley AMI his party landed to pick
up and repair the cable. The natives
had a nShite flag floating over the
cable hTlse when the party landed.
The Latter, however, were no sooner
on shore han they were fired upon by
the NATIVES. They at once took to the
water. Anumber of them were picked
up by a )oat, but Captain Tilley and
two native men of the party are miss
ing.
General Otis says that the campaign
