Otis summarizes the situation in Lu-
zon in a dispatch to the war depart
ment today in which he says that the
insurgent government can no longer
claim to exist, it's troops and officials
are scattered and Againaldo is IN
hiding.
The dispatch follows:
Mantle, November "a.
Claim to government can be made
no longer under any factione; its treas
urer, secretary of interior and presi-
dent of congress are in our hands;
it's president and remaining cabinet
officers are in hiding evidently in diff
ferent central province; it's generals
and troops in small bands are scat
tered throughout these provinces act
ing as banditti or. dispersed playing
the role of 'amigo" with arms con.
cealed. Indications are that Aguin-
aldo did not escape through lines OF
Lswton or Wheaton but fed west<
ward from Baysmbang railway sta
tion. Telegraphic communication to
Dagupan established, probably to
San Fabin today; by relaying nine
miles of tract with material at hand
railway communication to that point
re established; labor of troops; must
attend maintenance.
Fuller details of the sharp engage
ment between Carpenters command
and the insurgents at Iloilo reached
the war department today in the fol-
lowing dispatch from Gen. Otis,
dated Manila today:
"In Panay, 2lst, when Dickman
drove the enemy in the vicinity of
Jaro, Carpenter with two battalions
OF the Eighteenth infantry and
Bridgeman's battery had severe en-
gagement at Pa7ia, north of I!oilo.
His casualties were FIVE killed and
20 wounded, now in I!oilo hospital,
others are slightly wounded with the
command. The enemy is driven
north with reported very heavy loss;
particulars not received. Carpenter
passed on the insurgents position at
Santa Barbara, which he captured on
the 22i instant, without loss. Moth
ing has been received from the col
umn under the command of Hughes,
which is moving rapidly and operat-
ing north and west of Santa Barbara.
Apparently the Visayans are friendly
but are not taking an active part.
The enemy consists Of 1000 Tagalos."
A later dispatch from Gen. Otis
gives the results of the fighting at
Iloilo as follows:
Hughes, Iloilo reports the enemy
driven back into the mountains. The
insurgents capital, Cobatuap, has
been captured. TIE only serious &C.
tio1 was that of Carpenter at Pavis;
the total casualties are five killed or
since dead of wounds; 27 wounded;
captured 10 prisoners, 1s cannon, 6
rifles, quantities of ammunition. The
enemy's casualties are not stated"

ARRESTED IN MILFORD.

James M Brown of Harland Out on $30C
 Bonds.
 Winsted, June 3.-Humane Agent John F. Simmons returned home last even- ing, after two days of exciting business for the Connecticut Humane society. Mir. Simmons was deputized to locate and arrest James M. Brown for cruelty, abuse and abandonment of a horse in a stable in West Hartland. The horse was Killed this week by President Thrall, as already noted in these col umns
 MT. Simmons went to New Haven Thursday and by a little strategy To- cated Brown on farm in Milford His employer, thinking MT Simmons was an agent for the West Hartland pond syn dicate.
 MT Simmons found Brown in the fields and when he was placed under ar rest Brown refused to budge. MT. Sim mons pulled off his coat and told Brown they would fight it out then and there, but Brown did not like the look in Johns eye and decided to go with him. Brown was locked up in the Hartford jail that night and Friday was brought before Justice Edward A. Collins of Hartland and bound over for trial to Monday, June 26, under $500 bonds. George Isbel qualified as bondsman
 The people of Hartland are very much aroused over the cruel manner in which Brown treated his horse. It is one of the worst cases known to the Humane society. The horse was so weak he had to be held up by ropes and as final score Brown abandoned the poor beast to starve. It is said that Brown Is a violent character.

HEN THIEVES IN MAITLAND.

Are some of the members of the noto- rious gang of hen thieves, who raided a dozen towns or more in this part of the state in 1893 and 1894, on the war path again?
 At that time good share of the hens stolen were taken to a little house oppo- site the old Barnard hotel North Gram by. Here, after the man and woman had removed back to Simsbury, were found more than twenty heaps of feath- CTS buried in a little garden plot Also the barn yard manure was full of bush els of feathers. They escaped detection in stealing calves and hens, but Sims bury officials, with Sheriff Soules of New Bedford Mass, finally landed them in jail, one in Hartford and one in Springfield On their release from jail they went to York state, where they were both killed, getting run into by the cars,
 Now there is lots of trouble ahead of poultry folks again, One man above Riverton heard commotion in his hen roost Tuesday evening last. He saw a team moving off and waited on his porch with Winchester rifle an hour and half expecting more trouble
 Down in Rlverton Wednesday night, last week, D. F. Ransom lost from eighty to ninety chickens, all he had in one hen house.-Winsted Citizen.

which would carry him back to Spain.
Further information would be given
upon receipt of the money and directions
regarding the guardianship of the
daughter.
With this letter was also enclosed
certificate from the governor of the VAL
encia prison; of this, the following is
supposed to be translation
"Mr. Narciso de Saballanga, COM
mander-in chief and governor over the
military prisons at Valencia, certifes
that Santiago de Ochoa, ex.captain Of
the horse, son of Manuel and Dolores,
native Of Mantanzas, province the same,
widower and SO years Of age at present
finds himself in these military prisons OF
nv chietdom owing to the lawsuit COM
menced against him for abstracting the
sum OF 400, 900 pesetas contained in the
cash box of his regiment and conhded to
his custody and administration, and for
deserving the corps he belonged to, for
which crimes he was sentenced to the
penalty of l S years imprisonment, to be
accomplished at a stronghold at the
Island Of Cuba. And as a proof hereof
and according to the wish of the party
interested, I deliver this certificate which
sign and seal at Valencia, ETC."
The cable sent in response to the first
letter was delayed in delivery, and Mr..
Ryan was notified by the Valencia cable
office that Bruno Jardana was not to be
found. A third letter under date Of April
10, 1898, explained that Jardana was
an obscure man and was instructed to
call for the dispatch at the cable office,
and this he did.
In reply to Mr.. Ryan's suggestion,
that Don Ochoa refer him to some one
with whom he was acquainted at or
near st. Johnsbury and also that the
daughter and Jardana come directly to
St. Johnsbury instead OF being met at

week recalled this correspondence to
mind, and while the names. places and
details are different the similarity of the
schemes is suggestive.
Following is the article published in
the Globe, April 10:
A romantic story ola hidden Spanish
treasure in the neighborhood OF Quebec
by defaulting cavalry officer from Cuba,
now serving term OF imprisonment in
the military penitentiary at Barcelona,
Spain, casts peculiar side light upon
the recent Spanish-American war, and
illustrates one of the methods by which
the rank and file Of the Spanish soldiery
were deprived of the pesetas that should
have been theirs.
Chevalier Martineau of this city is an
exemplary Catholic, upon whom the
papal court conferred some time ago the
title Of Roman knight. He has just
received remarkable letter from Capt.
Diego Leon, conveying an interesting
secret, which the writer tells him he dare
not intrust to one OF his own Spanish
fellow countrymen for fear of betrayal.
With the letter is an extract, cut from
a newspaper, relating to the sentencing
OF Don Diego Leon by a council of war
to 10 years in the military penitentiary.
The letter to Chevalier Martineau de-
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1899-04-19

New York, he said that no other persons
must know anything of the treasure, not
even Jardana. He also enclosed his
photograph. Mr.. Ryan recognized the
features of a man whom he had seen
around St. Johnsbury the preceding
summer and had frequently called at his
office, pretending to have an invention
in the way Of wagon wheel, which he
wished Mr.. Ryan to manufacture and
handle. He never had model OF the
wheel to exhibit, however. The stranger
talked OF buying house and offered
$4,000 for one in Summerville. After
time he disappeared. This third letter
suggested that it would be necessary to
send $25 or $50 more than the $3.50
mentioned previously asanother months
expenses at the boarding school had to
be paid in order 10 get the trunk contain
ing the desired papers. He further said
that on account OF the war in Cuba his
transportation was to be delayed al
least four months Mr.. Ryan might
meet the daughter at the Aston House in
New York. Upon receipt of the money,
his picture would be sent. All commune.
cations were to be addressed to Jardana.
Mr.. Ryan's sympathies were aroused by
the correspondence, yet there was so
much risk OF deception that no money
was sent and nothing further was heard
of the Spanish prisoner.
An article in the Boston Globe last
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1899-04-19

scribes the anxiety experienced in his
prison cell by the writer, on account OF
his 18-year old daughter. the sole sur
viving member of his family, whom he
says is still in the boarding school at
Vioaluero. The prisoner appeals to the
chevalier to aid him in recovering the
money.
This is the story that he tells Of the
hidden treasure: "As captain and treas
urer of regiment of the garrison of Ha-
vana elsie Of Cuba), the governor-gener-
al commissioned me to take 100000
francs for the cost of portion OF the
war, to Santiago de Cuba. Finding
that was followed by both Americans
and insurgents, in order to avoid falling
into their hands fled with the money,
contriving to embark for St. Thomas,
and thence for Canada. In your coun-
try, after short stay, received the ter
rible news of my daughters serious i'll
ness, and resolved to risk the return to
Spain. But dared not take the money
with me. and so after placing it in a
small box l dug a trench halt meter
deep and buried it in safe place in your
neighborhood. making very exact and
unmistakable topogra phical plan of the
locality. This plan, with an explana-
tory sheet is concealed in the false bot
tom OF my travelling bag. had in
tended returning to Canada with my
daughter to recover the treasure and to
await the return of happier days, but
was discovered here, arrested, tried and
sentenced to 10 years military imprson-
ment."
The object of the letter is to induce
Mr.. Martineau to go to Spain at his
own cost, or to send some trustworthy
person, for the purpose of securing the
bag containing the plan showing the
locality of the concealed money, and also
to bring the daughter to Canada and
protect her during her fathers imprison-
ment. For these services he offers one
third of the treasure.

The Calendar of the War-A Record
Without Precedent.

The war with Spain began only one
year ago. On April 10. 1898, congress
passed resolutions directing the pres
dent to put an end to Spanish authority
in Cuba. On April 81, Minister Wood
ford received his passports from the
Spanish government. On April % the
president issued a proclamation to the
neutral powers announcing state OF
war, and on the same day the blockade
of the Cuban ports began. On April "a
a formal declaration OF war was made
by Spain. On May 1 Admiral Dewey
destroyed the Spanish fleet at Manila.
On May 10 Admiral Cerveras fleet ar
rived at Santiago, and on May 80 Ad-
miral SIMPSONS fleet arrived off that
port. On June 20 Gen. Skaters army
landed at Baiquiri On July Admiral
Cervera's fleet, in attempting to escape
from Santiago, was destroyed bv Ad-
miral SIMPSONS ships. On July II San
tiago surrendered to Gen. Skaters army.
On July IS Porto Rico was succ, ssIully
invaded. On July 26 the Spanish gov
eminent asked for terms OF peace through
the French ambassador at Washing on.
On Aug. 9 Spain accepted the terms. On
Aug. IL the peace protocol was signed
at Washington and an armistice pro-
claimed. Hostilties with Spain were
over after little more than three months
Of actual war.
During the contest we had lost no ship,
not gun, not a color, not prisoner.
we had suffered no defeat, reverse or set
back, and our loss of life in battle and by
disease was small beyond precedent in
the history of war.
