Manila, May 16. = The Filipino
forces are much demoralized and are
practically without leader. Aguin-
aldo seems to have lost his nerve and
thinks only of peronal safety. Gen.
eral Pillar, who has been command
ing the Filipino forces opposed to
General Lawton, said he believed he
had been deserted by Aguinaldo and
he is anxious to surrender to the
Americans, if he can secure what he
considers favorable terms. And of
course il his notions of what is due
the vanquished are not beyond rea-
son, he will be given terms which he
can accept. He has now been forced
to the north until he is at the foot
hills and but a few miles from the
mountains. In the mountains he
could not maintain an army. He
would be compelled to break up his
army into small bands so they could
subsist.
Aguinaldo keeps in the background.
Two weeks ago he passed through
San Isidro in a carriage with bis stat
and proceeded north. Nothing has
been heard of him since he passed
north and out of communication even
with his own people.
The Spanish prisoners have been
taken still farther north and scat

OIL COr1PANY CAN SELL.
No Injunction Against Waters-PIerce Co.
Other Case Under Amusement.

No Injunction Against Waters-PIerce Co.
Other Case Under AdvIsement.
In court chambers last night Judge
Burwell heard the other Injunction
case in which Amos Ewing, terrific
rial inspector o oils, sought to pre-
vent the Waters-Pierce Oil company
from selling their oil until after they
had been tested by the inspector,
was brought before the court after
citing different authorities and con-
sulting the statutes carefully the
plaintiff in the case decided to with
draw his petition and allow the Judge
to make the records show that the
case of the inspector against the oil
company was dismissed without pre-
jpdice. This was done on the ground
that the territory was not a party to
the suit and that the inspector hav-
ing put up no indemnifying bond the
injunction could not lie.
The injunction was really never in
force and the company has been SELL
ing oil all the time.
In the case of the oil company
against the inspector, seeking to re-
strain him from inspecting the COM
pany's oils, which case was argued
yesterday, The judge took the mat
ter under advisement and will decide
it later-Oklahoma TImes-Journal.

Crisis in Cuba.

Havana, May 16.-A crisis has
been precipitated by the Cubans
over the question Of sUrrendering
their arms, and there are grave
fears of an outbreak against the
Americans at any time. The most
conservative element appreciates
the danger, and it is realized that
the utmost diplomacy will have to
be exercised if the now thoroughly
exasperated Cubans are to be
Modified. The bitterness against
Gen. Brooke and the American
policy in the island is unbounded.
If the Cubans are allowed to sur
render their arms to Cuban mayors,
and not to Americans, the friction
may be averted.

Field As a Business Man.


The late Justice Field used to tell
with good deal of JUNCTION how he got
even with the world soon after he ar
rived at Marysville, Cal. where he
started his career as a public man as
alealde. When he got there he bought
a town lot. When he came to look at
it he found it covered with water 1t
was in the middle of swamp. But he
soon made up the money he lost on
his town lot venture.
Among his effects were several
chamois hides for which he had paid
few dollars. He happened to mention
the fact to some gold miners One of
them weighed out about So worth of
gold dust and told him he would give
him that much for enough of the
chamois skin to make a small pouch.
Field was glad to make the change.
Well, the upshot- of it was that he
sold the skins for about $3.50. Just as
quick as possible he got several more
skins from the east. In a few months
every miner in those diggings was
carrying his gold dust in pouches made
by Stephen j. Field.
Mr.. Field learned the Turkish and
modern Greek Languages while he was
in Smyrna with las aunt. Mrs. Brewer.
who was missionary. and the mother
of Associate Justice Brewer. He kept
up his acquaintance with these Ian
guages to the last, speaking them
whenever he had the opportunity. He
made friends with every Turkish min
ister and all the Greeks in the city
knew him because he was the only
American who knew their language
well.
The justice was one of a coterie of
public men who devoted themselves 70
the study of languages. Senator Hoar

well as Turkish and the modern

was a king and a queen, and they had
one son called Jack Now, this Jack
when he grew up, was a fine, strong,

fond of fishing. There was one river in
particular, alive with trout and fishes
of all descriptions, that Jack would
never be tired fishing in, but at length
the trouts and other fishes in this river
began to get so old-fashioned for him
that when they'd find him fishing on
one side of the river they would all
swim to the other side, and then, when
my poor Jack would take a boat and
cross over to the other side after them,
back they'd all swim, and be back to
the other side again by the time he'd
