ena and the army gunboats have
shelled Malabon and the country be-
yond, while the Monadnock focused all
its batteries upon Paranaque for two
hours. for the purpose of destroying the
military stores there. A great smoke
was caused, but as the insurgents are
in possession of the town the results OF
the shelling are not obtainable.
The evacuation of Malabon was a
picturesque route, thousands OF men,
women and children, loaded down with
household goods, some with their dear
est reasures-fighting cocks-under
their arms, poured across the swamp5

An exploded caisson at the railroad
bridge proved a bar TO the Americans.
Ten soldiers of the Oregon regiment,
while searching for two of those killed
earlier in the fighting, sneaked into the
city in the morning and found the place
i'm a condition of chaos. The inhabi-

possession. The Oregonians shot several

VIII Meet lgOnClIlo.

London, March 21--Losada. the Fill
pino delegate, has gone to Paris to meet
Agoncillo, Aguinaldo's agent, who is ex-
pected i'm London shortly.
The Filipino. who was chief OF the
European junta during Agoneiiiois alb
sence in America suddenly started on
Saturday for Spain, by way of Paris.
Unofficial Filipinos here assert that he
is going TO Seville on private business
and that he will return on April 16.
They admit, however that he will con-
fer at Paris with Agoncillo, who is said
to have been in communication with
Aguinaldo in order To get the letter
TO appoint a delegate 10 go 10 Madrid
on a mission connected with the Span
ish prisoners in the hands of the Fill
pinos. 1t is therefore thought probable
that Agoncillo has instructed the dele
gate TO proceed TO Madrid.
The Filipinos here assert that peace
was in sight before the recent fighting.
but that Major-Gen. Otis will not now
treat for peace until Malolos is taken.

The Hearing.

The hearing on the bill asking FOR
the repeal of the charter of the Ameri-
can Investors company was resumed
in the Senate chamber before the judi
ciary committee of the Senate, Chair
man Freeman presiding. at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. @. Percival Stewart, vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the COM
pany, was present with his counsel. Mr..
Lafetra of New York, but Mr.. Hazle-
ton. the manager of the local office.
was not present.
Mr.. Stewart read a statement, in
which he reviewed the history of the
organization of the company. and took
occasion at the outset to state that he
emphatically denied that anything had
been done by the company that was not
strictly upon business principles. He
said the assets OF the company were
$3.50, 900, and that since its organization
no sum of money had been drawn from
the capital for dividends or profits. No
employe OF the company had received
more than sl5 a week. except himself
as manager, and he had received from
800 TO 1925 a month.

The Cumpany's System.

Mr.. Stewart continued by saying that
the investors in the company had re-
ceived on an average more than three
times the amount paid in and the to-
tai expenses OF the company since its
organization, including rent, salaries
and, In fact, all expenses, did not ex-
ceed $50 900. He then described the sys-
tenn upon which the company made
loans. He further stated that the COM
pany had negotiated loans of S71,66S on
property estimated at $l4S 150. and $13,
600 had been Invested by the company.
He spoke OF the negotiations carried on
with the signers of the petition asking
for the repeal OF the charter, and
claimed that IL was due TO their own
actions that the loans solicited by them
had not been made.
lie admitted that he was tho organ
izer of the Granite State Provident as
ISOLATION, but claimed he did not con-
slider that his connection with that as
sociation had anything TO do with the
case now under consideration. He
closed by saying that the complainants
had utterly failed 10 show any reason
for such n demand as the repeal of the
charter Of the company.
Mr. Stewart then took up the cases
OF the several local compliments. and
commenced with the case Of Elizabeth
Barbour who was the first witness be-
fore the committee. He claimed that
when the property was appraised Il was
discovered that loan OF $500 could
not be advanced upon u. as IL was val
ued at $500. He went into this case In
detail, and produced letters. reports
and telegrams bearing upon the matter.

day.and Judge Sweetland fined him and
otherwise fixed him so that there are
hopes entertained by the police that
he will keep quiet at least for the next

Muldowney is employed as a dresser

Muldowney preferred that his step
daughters should be less in evidence

Numerous domestic brolls occurred,
and on the 5th instant the household
fire place sent out such dense clouds Of
discomfort that Muldowney seized a
big carving knife and. 1t is alleged, pro-
ceeded to do execution with it. He
grasped his wife by the hair, jerked
back her head and drew the knife
blade across her throat: but he placed
the back of the knife. instead of the
edge, against her flesh.
Various acts, all of terrorizlng
character, followed this bluff. and they
became so frequent that Mrs. Null

he came home told him that she would

Mudowney was then placed under 500

fine and costs and this bond ii may be
that Muldowney will be separated from
his wife and stepchildren for many

MUST STAND TRIAL.
Appellate Court Decides That Indictment Against
James A. Foster Is Not Detective.

The Appellate Court today handed
down the following decision in the case
of stTrte VS.. J1rfrcz n etrr-
ram. our opinion is that the indict-
ment sufficiently states an offence
against Gen. Laws Il. l., cap. 326. The
defendants contention is that the
words, being then and there an timer

that the defendant was an itiuerant

be in positive terms that the defendant

dor. The particular form is, however.

Just as soon as the hearing on the
can Investors company was concluded
at l o'clock today, quite a little sensa-
tion was created i'm the Senate chamber
