RUN-4 WAY ON CHAPEL STREET,
Ran from Derby Avenue to Olive Street
Stopped by Trolley Car.

ANHH hoh DeAUy Avenue TO OI1ve street
Stopped by n Trolley Car.
About o'clock last evening a horse
owned by Frank Foley of Ashmun
street took dash down Chapel street
and ran from Derby avenue to Olive
street, where he was stopped by troll
ley car. The horse was attached to a
buggy and was driven by the owner,
who was taking a friend for a drive.
The horse became frightened or unruly
and started to run at the junction of
Derby avenue and Chapel street He
continued on mad gallop down Chapel
street, the driver being unable to stop
him, and met with no obstruction until
near the corner of Olive and Chapel
streets, where the wagon collided with
a trolley car. Just before the wagon
struck the car the two young men
jumped and escaped injury. Patrolman
Dorman, who stood at the corner of
Olive and Chapel streets, seeing the
runaway coming. stepped out to stop
it and caught the horse by the head
about the time the wagon struck the
car. The wagon was badly wrecked,
and Dorman took the horse to police
headquarters. The owner called there
and took the animal home later in the
evening. Neither of the young men in
the buggy was injured.

IMPORTANT NEWS EXPECTED.
War Department Looking for Report
Announcing Capture ofSnntn Cruz.

| Announcing Capture ofSnnta Cruz.
| Washington, April 9.-The war de-
partment authorities look for important
news from Manila tomorrow, announc-
| ing in all prbabilty the capture of the
city of Santa Cruz, a leading town in a
country as yet untouched by the Ameri-
cans and now in the hands of the Fill
pino forces. No report Of the move
ments of General Lawtons men has
been made to the war department, but
the Associated Press announcement was
no surprise as the move Is looked upon
as one of the natural steps in General
Otis carefully laid plans against the in
surgents. Santa Cruz is a place of con-
siderable Importance in several respects.
1t is the capital of tn province of La
gllna and has a population, according to
the best available informal ton here, of
considerably more than 1900 persons
1t is regarded as likely that General
Lawton already has gained possession
of this little stronghold, for it is but a
short journey over Bay Lagoon, a fresh
water sea which comes almost up to
itocii, IOI OIlS-elSul IllleS away
from Santa Cruz.
The details of the dispatch show that
General Lawton by essaying the forma-
tion Of squads of twelve men each Will
make a thorough reconnaissance Of the
ground before making a definite attack
upon the city and vicinity. 1t is felt
here that there will be only a show of
resistance by the natives and whether
they actually surrender the town or
abandon it to the southwark, the cam
paign against the place will serve as an
object lesson of tn determined policy of
the American forces in the islands. San
ia Cruz is apparently an opening wedge
for the country beyond. From it lead
highways in all directions to Manila, by
going around the shores of Bay Lagoon,
and to the important point of Batangas
and the well advanced province of
Tayabas, whose capital city is located
nnety-one miles from Manila. General
LaWton, however, may not contemplate
any material advance beyond Santa
Cruz at this time as the region to the
south is very broken country covered
with mountains and the rainy season is
coming on so that his purpose may be
merely to gain an advantageous position
for the future

THE SITUdTION IN FRINGE.
Important Speech by Premier Dupuy-
The Dreyfus Case.

Inc DFeylus Sust.
Paris, April 9.-The premier, M.
Charles Alexandra Dupuy, in the course
of an important speech to his constitu-
ents to-day at LePuy, capital Of tile
department of Haute-Loire, said that
the situation both at home and abroad
was eminently satisfactory. ''The
spontaneous election of stalwart and
worthy republican as president of the
republic he continued, proves the
stability and vitality Of the republic,
and has disconnected the factions who
dreamed of chimerical plebiscites and
futile restorations" He referred ap-
provingly to the recent agreements with
Italy and Great Britain, and said that
France was ''now free for Industrial and
commercial development and large
field Of colonizing" Reverting to home
affairs, he said:
'The agitations are only on the sur
face. Beneath are calm industry and
security. The end of the Dreyfus af-
fair appears to be in sight and the
complication will be unraveled by the
court of cessation, whose judgment will
be acknowledged by all. The govern
ment, however, attaches Importance to
reiterating it's determination to press
all polemics which call the national ar
my into question. As soon as the court
of cessation has given judgment the
measure to determine responsibilities,
and will act accordingly, if that should
be necessary, but these acts and the
punishment of individual faults will not
affect the army, which is our hope for
the future and the indispensable guard
ian of the constitution and the law. If
certain people think otherwise let us
leave them to their despicable folly and,
for ourselves, continue to look toward
the army, full of confidence"

for New York, where he should arrive
on Friday During his stay he received
many petitions from municipalities ask

New York, April 9.-Admiral Dewey

of Leslie's Weekly an interview regard

made a candidate for the presidency
next year. AS to his politics the admir-
al says: Il am sailor. A sailor has
no politics. The administration is his

makes no difference. Then, again,
come from Vermont, and you know
what that means. To be anything but

south I would probably be democrat"

The admiral said that neither by vo-

in life to consider such possibility.
His health would not admit it. All hia
life work was in different lines OF effort.
and while the kindness and enthusiasm
of his friends were grateful to him,
and the generous tributes Of the Amer
lean people were dear to him, he could

JUSTICE STEPHEN J. FIELD
THE EMINENT j ISTP4SSES AWAY
IN WASHINGTON.
Appointed to the United States Supreme
Court by President LincoIn-Hc Re
tired on December /, 1897 Born in
Haddam, Conn. Graduated from Will
liams College in 1927.

| liams College In 1897.
Washington, Apil 9-Justice stephen
j. Field, of the United States supreme
court, retired, died at his home in this
city at $50 o'clock this evening of
kidney complaint. About his bedside
was his wife and her sister, Mrs. ].
Condit Smith, Justice David j. Brewer,
his nephew Mrs. Edgerton Of Califor-
MIA, Mr.. Linton, his private secretary,
the Rev. Edward M. Mott, rector of
the Church of the Advent, and the fam
lily servants. He had been unconscious
since Saturday morning and death was
painless. Ever since Justice Fields re-
rirement from the supreme court bench
on December /. 1897, he had had COM
paratively good health and being reliev-
ed from the responsibilities which he
had borne for so many years he became
more cheerful than formerly and SEEM
ed to enjoy the society Of his friends
and acquaintance more than ever be-
fore. All during the winter when the
weather was fair it was his custom to
take daily drives about the city or
through the grounds of the soldiers
home and always returned refreshed.
About two weeks ago, however, he
took a longer ride than usual In an open
carriage and contracted a severe cold,
which rapidly developed the kidney
troubles from which he had suffered,
though but slightly for some time. The
disease readily yielded to treatment and
on Thursday last he sat up for a time
and seemed quite himself again, but on
Saturday morning a change for the
worse took place and at noon he lost
consciousness. From that time he sank
rapidly and expired at $3.50 o'clock. No
arrangements have yet been made for
the funeral nor is itnow known where he
will be buried. 1t is probable that his
remains will be taken to Stockbridge,
Mass. where are buried his father and
mother and his brothers. Cyrus, Dudley
and Jonathan, two sisters and other
members of the Field family. 1t is
possible, however, that Mrs. Field may
decide to take his remains to California,
where considerable part of his life was
passed before President Lincoln APP
pointed him a member of the supreme
bench Justice and Mrs. Field never
had any children and the only surviving
member of his fathers family is the JUS
tice's youngest brother, DR. Henry Field,
the editor of the Evangelist. During
several years prior to his retirement
from the bench the Justices health at
times seemed on the point of breaking
down, but he usually recovered prompt
ly and in few days would again re-
sumo his judicial duties. For the past
year or more those most intimate with
him knew that his mental powers were
becoming somewhat impaired. The re-
suits of his long career of great mental
activity were beginning to show them
selves in failing memory, after his re-
tirement from the bench, though his
physical health seemed to improve a
little.

Stephen Johnson Field was born at
Haddam, Conn, November 4, 1916 He
was the son of David Dudley Field and
one of four brothers who became 50 IA
nous, David Dudley, Cyrus w. and
Henry M Field being the other mem
bers of the great quartette that made
their names known throughout the
world. His early boyhood was spent
at Stockbridge, Mass. At the age of
thirteen Stephen j. Field went to Smyr-
ma, where his sister had married mis-
sionary, the Rev. Josiah Brewer, who
had undertaken an educational mission
to the Greeks, and he there acquired a
knowledge of Oriental languages. Re-
turning to this country after two and a
half years, he later entered Williams
college, from which he was graduated
in 1887 at the head of his class. He
then went to New York, where he en-
tered the law office of his brother, Da-
vid Dudley Field. He was admitted to
the bar and became a partner in the
firm remaining as such for seven years.
In 1S4S he went to Europe and spent
some time there travelling In Novem-
Der, 1S49, he sailed for San Francisco,
the practice of law in the occidental
metropolis. After short time he NOV
ed to Marysville, a small mining camp,
and became one of the founders of what
afterward grew to be thriving town.
When the little city was organized JUS
tice Field was elected the acalde of the
place. This office carried with it the
dignity of mayor and at the same time
imposed all the duties Of the bench.
Here the future jurist dispensed justice
and made his fame wildly known
throughout the length and breadth of
the growing commonwealth. He was
fond of talking of his early days in
California and often said that the hap
by days of his were when he dealt out
justice in Marysville behind a dry goods
box.
He was elected a Judge of the SUI
preme court of California in 1857, sue
ceeding Chief Justice David S. Terry.
In 1863 President Lincoln appointed him
associated justice of the supreme court
of the United States and he held that
position until his retirement on Decem-
ber /, 1897. During the latter years of
his service on the bench he was in fee
Bile health. His term was the
longest in the history of that tribunal.
The great chief justice, John Marshall,
wore the ermine for period extending
over thirty-four years. 1t was the am
bition of the late Justice Field to sur
pass this record, and he succeeded in
doing so by few months. His friends,
fearing that the strain of hard work
would sborfen his 11cafu1 life advicaJ
lim to retire from his arduous duties
But with indefatie able perseverance he
3lung to his task until the latter part
If 1891 when he had the satisfaction of
having fulfilled the ambition of his life.

Washington, Sept, 23.-In an interview with a Post re-
porter here today Senator Mason of Illinois said:

to the war upon the Filipinos, would rather resign my seat
than treat Il dog the way we are treating those people. | am
ashamed of my country. People make d great mistake,' con-
tinucd the senator, "when they say | am against expansion.
am not. But expansion by purchase or other honorable
means is is one thing, and expansion by force is another. | do
not believe that there was any necessity for this war upon the
FilipinoS. believe that if we had adopted a resolution in
congress assuring those people as we did the CubanS that we
had no selfish designs upon tn III We never would have met
any opposition in the Philippines. The fact is, w, have given
the Filipinos every reason to distrust us, and they are fighting
for their own liberty.
'Ta1k about hauling down the flag - continued Senator
Mason, Twill not our flag come down in Cub? Certainly it
will, if we are true to our promises, and the day that it come,
down will be the brightest day in our history, for it will show
that we are a great, unselis1 nation, devoted to the eternal
principles of right and honesty. If the Cubans want to be
annexed, Let them. That is another question. Why can we
not deal with the Filipinos in the same way?'
