serting him and the war - PEac-
ficaIIF Endad.

days In quarantine at Angel island,
Maj. Gen E. S. Otis, who arrived
last Wednesday from Manila, was al
lowed to land yesterday When seen
by q reporter Of the Associated press
Gen Otis was asked what would be
the effect of the war If the report Of
AguinaldO's death was true. He said
that the war was practically ended,
that AguinaldO's followers were de
serting him fast and those who now
remain with him are generally Of the
lower class Most Of his officers have
left him, though some still remain
In touch with him Some of those
who have left him are now engaged in
business in Manila and others are
hiding in the mountains. Many of
his closest followers are very friendly
toward the United States and that as
soon as the natives In general gain
confidence in the friendly Offices and
the Americans there would be little
difficulty in bringing them to terms.
Gen. Otis would not state whether
or not he favored the retention Of
the islands by this country. In re-
Spouse to such a query he merely

$4,000 FIRE AT MANHATTAN.
Agricultural College Chemical laboratory
DestrOyed-Many Valuable Mineral
Specimens Ruined.

Manhattan, Kan, June The chem
zeal labratOry at the Agricultural col
lege was destroyed by fire yesterday
morning. Fire broke out in the dark
room at 900. either from a lamp left
there by students developing pictures
or by the explosion of chemicals or
spontaneous combustion. All three
theories are advanced but no positive
knowledge can be gained Poor water
pressure and lack Of sufficient appara-
tus made the saving Of the building
impossible, though through the quick
and able efforts of the students, the
most valuable Of the contents were
preserved
The two Libraries Of the professors
in chemistry, Weida and Willard, were
saved together with valuable station
records.
Much Of the chemical apparatus was
destroyed, either within the building
or from rough handling by the crowd.
The collection Of minerals viii be prac-
tically a total loss, though most Of the
cases were hauled from the building,
but we're, however, so badly damaged
and the specimens broken, lost and in
such chOatic order as to render them
almost useless. Fire departments we're
called from town, but with the poor
water supply and their long distance
run they were not Of the usual service.
The building was constructed under
Prof. W. K Kedzie In 1877, and was
one Of the oldest on the grounds and
together with its equipments was
valued at $4,000
The loss is roughly estimated at
$4,000.

WAS 1T AGUINALDo7
Belief That Maj nIareh's Men KILLED or
Wounded the Famous Filipino 100
Niles Northeast OF VIEan-

Vigan, Luzon, via Manila, June s.
Maj. March, with his detachment Of
the Thirty-third regiment, on May 10
at La Cat, about 100 miles northeast
Of Vigan, killed or wounded an officer,
supposed to be AguinaldO, whose body
was removed by his followers. Maj.
March struck AguinaldO's outpost
about a mile outside Of La Cat, kill
ing four FiIpinOs and capturing two.
From the latter he learned that
AguinaldO had camped there for the
night, although exhausted and half
starved, Maj. March's men entered
La Cat on the run. They saw the in
surgents scattering into the bushes
or over the plateau A thousand
yards beyond the town, on the noun
tain side, the figures Of 25 FiHpinos,
dressed IN white, with their leader on
a grey horse, were siIhouetted against
the sunset. The Americans fired a
vOIley and saw the officer drop from
his horse. His followers fed, carry
ing the body with them. The Amer
leans, on reaching the spot, caught
the horse, which was richly saddled.
Blood from a badly wounded man
was on the animal and on the ground.
The saddlebags contained AguinaldO's
diary and some private papers, in
GLIDING prOClamatiOns.

AMENDED THE COMBINE LAH.
House Passes Without Opposition
an Antitrust Measure.
Republicans Claim thu New Law Goes -
the Limit OF ConstItutionaI Authority
Labor Unions Are Excluded from
Its Provisions

Washington, June 4-Only one
vote was cast in the house Saturday
against the Littlefeld antitrust bill
to amend the Sherman act of 1890 to
make it more effective IN the prose
cutiOn Of trusts and combinations,
their agents, officers or attorneys.
Mr.. Ham, Of illinois (rep.), cast the
negative vote. The bill, according to
the statements Of the republican
leaders, goes to the limit Of the au-
thority Of congress under the consti-
tuition. All the democratic minority
amendments except one were de-
feated. That was an amendment de-
claring that nothing in the act should
be construed to apply to trades
unions or labor organizations. The
bill amends the Sherman antitrust
law 50 as to declare every contract
or combination, in the form Of trust
or conspiracy in restraint Of COM
mere among the states or with for
eign nations Illegal and every party
to such contract or combination
guilty Of a crime punishable by a fine
Of not less than $500 nor more than
$1,000 and by Imprisonment not less
than six months nor more than two
years. Tt provides that any person
injured by a violation Of the PrOvi-
siOns of the law may recover three
fold damages.
Lacked the Necessary TWO-ThirdE-
Washington, June 3.-The house Of
representative Friday after a live
" debate extending over two days
defeated the joint resolution prOpOs-
ing a constitutional amendment en-
POwering congress to regulate trusts.
1t requires a twO-thirds vote under
the constitution to adopt an amend
ment to the constitution. The vote
stood, ayes ia, nays 81. The affirm
ative vote, therefore, was 50 short Of
the requisite two-thirds, 192. Five
democrats, Messrs. Campbell, of Mon
tana; Naphen, of Massachusetts,;
Scudder, of New York; Sibley, Of
Pennsylvania, and Thayer, Of Blassa-
chusetts, and one silverite, Mr.. New
lands, of Nevada, voted with the re-
Publicans for the resolution and two
republicans, Mr.. Loud, OF California,

with the democrats. These were the
only breaks from party lines. The
