when a native In one of the broiltns

because this is q task that requires
more energy than any male Nicara-

jar Is made Of baked clay, and, not be-

becomes moist on the outside. Two
leather straps are firmly attached to
the neck, and, seiaing these In her

Sends Only firsi-cIass Mail Which Court
Alone Can Order Opened.

Washington, June 10.-The proceed
ings now in progress at indianapolis,
with view to having produced and
opened in court package and letter
addressed to C. F. w. Nicely are said
by the law officers of the post office de-
partment to be unusual, such cases oc-
curing at very infrequent intervals.
AS a rule matter sent through the
mails under seal and bearing postage
at frst-class rates cannot be opened
and inspected under any circumstances,
the exception being when an order for
inspection is issued by court. 1t has
been decided by the supreme court that
such packages or letters cannot be
opened by post office employees. but
that Il court has the same right to os-
der such an investigation as if the ar
ticles were actually in the possession
of the addreSscc.
In order to obtain such an order dep
osition must BE- made that the package
or letter in question is supposed TO
contain matter which should be made
public and the package must be speci-
tically described. 1t is presumed that
the article addressed to Nicely of ncccs-
sity must be under seal. as postmas-
ter has the right to inspect all matter
prepaid at third or fourth-class rates.
The fact that a package is sent at
first class rates under seal is regarded
as suspicious circumstance. indicat-
ing desire to keep the contents sec
ret and it is believed that this fact
may have had weight in directing the
action Of the post office inspector in
the present case.

turing cities, the local combination

which has charge Of the disposition of

Of the local mills. is considering the
advisability Of asking for an enlarge
ment Its powers at the next meeting
of the association.
The committee believes that it could
better control prices by having the
power to Curt0il production when nee
cssary and Keeping the prices up by
preventing reproduction.
1t is now about three months since
any material transfer of production has
taken place in this city, and expiring
contracts give rise to talk that it may
be necessary to curtail the product
somewhat on a gradual scale if an i'm
provcment in the demand for gray
goods does not soon come.
The members of the selling commit
tee believe that by giving them this
power of reducing the output would OK
ercise q beneficial effect on the market
without making actual curtalment
necessary. as buyers would realize that
they must pay a fair price for goods
at all times.
One of the probabilities Of the future
is the establishment Of branch agencies
OF the committee in New York and
Philadelphia. where the Fall River
product is principally disposed of.

Reports Not ENCOURAGE

Washington, June 10.-AdmiraI Remey
informs the navy department that the
gunboat Nashville, with a force of ma
rines aboard, left Cavite. Friday, for

She is ight-draft gunboat Of the
same type as the Helena. and it is pre-
Sumed that she is sent in place of the
latter. The Monocacy. at Shanghai, also
has been ordered to join Admiral kampff
at Taku.
1t is understood at the navy depart
mant that the Nashville was dispatched
to Taku by Admiral Rcmey in place of
the Helena. which was originally selected
for that purpose. but was probably I'M
available or absent from Manila. The
Nashville is in some respects less suitable
than the Helena for the service. as she
draws nearly two more feet of water
than the latter.
The Nashville has one advantage. how
ever. being a knot faster than the Hele-
ma. rating at 1870 knots Having sailed

Pho DEL PILLARS CAPTURE.
Found Lurking Near San Pedro Macati-Cap-
lure Regarded as important.

Washington, June 10.-Gen. MaCAr-
thur has cablcd the following report of
the capture of Gen. Pillar:
Manila, June 9.-Native police cap
tured insurgent Gen. Pho del Pillar, this
morning. He was found lurking in
neighborhood of San Pedro Macati.
(Signed) MacARTHTR."
Gen. Schwan's estimate of the inn
this statement:
1.-The capture of Gen. Pho del Pillar.
cablcd by Gen. Macarthur. this morn
ing. is a most important one. Pillar
was regarded as one of the most active
and uncompromising of the rebel chi f.
tains.
After the disruption of the insur-
gent government and the dispersion Of
nearly all the insurgent organizations
north Of Manila, Pillar managed to con-
centratc a considerable force at San
Miguel de Mayuno, in the province of
Buacan, and although he was unable
to hold the place for any great length
of time. he succeeded in withdrawing
his troops to the mountains and in
Guiding the several columns that were
sent out to destroy him.
1T was difficult to keep track of his
movements and he frequently was re-
ported as being at a number of places
at the same time.
THAT his capture has been effected
by the native police at Manila, body
numbering some 400, evidences afrest
the loyalty of these men to the Amer
lean cause. so often impugned both by
Americans and Filipinos."
