Manila Bay, May 9.-General Pante.
Ion Garcia, the highest insurgent Off
GER, except Aguinaldo, was captured
yesterday by Lieutenant E. p. Smith,
Of General Funston's staff, in the town
Of Jaen, three miles northeast of San
Isidro, province of New Ecija.
Garcia personally conducted the
guerilla operations, and General Fun
ston had spent weeks in trying to cap
ture him, several companies beating
the whole country at night. Often the
Americans caught messengers bearing
Garcia's orders. The people protected
him and burned signal lights whenever
the American soldiers appeared.
Recently General Funston surprised
him and his staff while dining at Ara
yat at dusk. The Filipinos leaped
through the windows and escaped,
leaving their papers and everything ex-
cept the clothing they wore. The strain
of being hunted finally exhausted their
endurance.
General Funston, who came to Ma
Mia to bid farewell to General Otis,
will return and endeavor to persuade
Garcia to secure the surrender of his
forces which number several thousand.
Most of them live in the mountains.
Jaen is the largest ungarrisoned
town in the province. Spies@ reported
that Garcia was sick and had been
compelled to hide there, and lieuten-
ant Smith with Lieutenant Day and
40 cavalry, surrounded the town. The
spies led them directly to the house
where Garcia was disguised as q peas
ant, only major and two servants be-
ing with him. They also were cap
tured.

wREcKAoE OF A LINER.

Passed In id-Atlantic-Causes Anxiety
in Marine Circles.
Chicago, May "a special to the
Record from Philadelphia says: .
Captain Campbell, of the British
steamer Tenby, which arrived at Phila-
delphia today from Port Said, brings an
account OF wreckage passed at sea,
which is causing great anxiety among
shipping men. The captain believes
maritime disaster has occurred, in
volving the loss of an Atlantic liner.
The Tenby fell In with the wreckage
mentioned at q point west of the mid
Atlantic and the lookouts observed q
bark flying distress signals, but it was
to far of and the sea too rough for the
steamer to render any assistance.
Toward sunset on April 80, when the
Tenby was steaming slowly westward
against heavy seas the lookout reported
that her path was obstructed by float
ing timbers and spars for considera-
BILE distance head. Captain Campbell
himself saw portions of a deckhouse,
pieces of planking, seemingly from a
vessels hull, and many minor objects,
oil of which seemed to have been in
he water only . short time. There
were steamer chairs and other fine
furniture not generally carried by
freight steamers. Night closed in as
the Tenby resumed her voyage. The
locality of the wreckage is given on her
logbook at latitude 81 north. and be-
tween longitude 53 and 65 west.
The next day. May l, the bark was
seen apparently in distress. She was
a large, four-masted vessel, painted a
slate color, and had several signals out.
Soon after she was sighted she disap-
peared in the fog.
Captain Campbell said today that if
the vessel was in need of assistance she
was in a favorable position to receive
it. Her situat ON was directly in the
track of shipp NJ between New York
and the equator.
He did not connect the wreckage
passed With the bark in question. but
many who heard the story are inclined
to the opinion that the bark collided
with and sunk another craft, of which
only the wreckage remains. The bark
is south of the path of Atlantic liners,
and il the vessel which is supposed to
have been lost is really an ocean grey
hound. she must have been far out of
her course when the collision occurred.
On the other hand, the wreckage is
directly in the line of the craft which
ply between the northern ports and
those of South America.

THE CASE OF CLARK.
Sonate VIII Take IL Up Next Thurs
day.


Washington, May 5.-The senate TO-
day adopted the motion of Hoar to take
up the resolution of the committee or
elections declaring that Clark, of Mon
tana, was not duly elected to the sem
ate, and then postponed consideration
of the question for a week. The army
appropriation bill, after a rather spirit.
ed debate, was passed without division.
The day closed with the passage of q
number of private pension bills, includ.
ing bills to pension Mrs. Julia Henry,
widow of the late General Guy V.
Henry; General James Longstreet. Mrs.
Margaret M. Badger, widow of the late
Commodore Badger, and Mrs. Harriet
Gridley, widow of the late Captain
Gridley, of the navy.
The house today, without division,
passed the free homes bill. which has
been pending before congress for q
number of years. The bill provides
that the government shall issue pat
ents to actual bona fide settlers on
agricultural lands of Indian reserva-
t1ons opened to settlement. These
lands were taken up by settlers, who
contracted to pay for. them $1.25 to
$3.75 per acre. By the terms of the
bill, the government assumes the pay
ment of the purchase price to the In
dians and changes the existing law rel
ative to agricultural colleges SO as to
insure the payments of the endowments
which heretofore have come out of the
sale of public lands in case of deficien-
cy. These payments involve $780,
900 annually. OF the 29, 200, 900 acres
in Indian reservations opened to settle
ment, for which the government is to
pay or has paid $35, 100000, about
5000, 900 acres have been taken and
100000 are supposed to be still avail
able for agricultural purposes. A re-
markable thing in connection with the
passage of the bill today was a speech
in its favor by Galusha A. Grow, the
venerable ex-speaker of the house, who
4S years ago, fathered and passed the
original homestead bill. He was then
the youngest and is now the Oldest
member of the house. The remainder
of the day was devoted to the sundry
civil appropriation bill, the last but
one of the great supply bills.

AGUINALDO IS ALIVE
Young Reports That He Has
Joined Tino's Band.
FIGHTING IN SOUTHERN LUzON
Recent Engagements With Rebels IN
the Visayas Resulted In the KILL
ing of 2SO of Them.

| Manila, May 9.-Telegrams received
here from General Young report that
Aguinaldo has rejoined the rebel Gem
eral Tino, in the north and that they
have reassembled a considerable force
In the mountains. General Young de-
sires to strike them before it rains, and
asks for reinforcements. The tenor of
the dispatch leads to the belief that
General Young is confident Aguinaldo
is with Tino, and it is presumed they
are preparing to fight.
A detachment of the Forty seventh
regiment met and routed band of the
enemy between Legaspi and Riago,
province of Albay, April Is. Two
Americans were killed and five wound
ed. including two officers. The Fill
pinos lost heavily. The conditions
around Legaspi and Sorsogon are re-
ported as considerably disturbed.
The rebel attacks on the American
garrison in Visayan islands recently
have resulted in the killing of $50 of
the enemy and the wounding of two
Americans. At aybreak, May l, 400
rebels, 100 of them armed with rifles,
attacked Chairman. in Northern Samar,
in the vicinity of Catubig. Company
F, of the Forty-third regiment, was
garrisoned at the place. The enemy
built trenches on the outside of the
town during the night and fired volleys
persistently from them, until the
Americans charged them, scattering
them, and killed 155 of the Filipinos.
Two Americans were wounded. This
attack was precipitated by the enemy's
recent successful fight at Catubig. The
garrison ofCatarman has been removed
to the seaport of Laguan.
A force of Filipinos, estimated to
number 200, armed with rifles and
bolos, and operating four muzzle-load-
ing cannon, attacked Jaro, on Leyte
island, April Is, which place was gar
risoned by men of company B, Forty
third regiment, Lieutenant Estes COM
mading. Estes left 15 men to protect
the town, and with the remaining 10
men he advanced on the enemy in two
squads, sheltered by ridges south of the
town, whence they stood off the Fill
pinos for three hous. Then 20 armed
members of the local police force sailed
out to help the Americans. The latter,
with the police, charged the enemy and
together they dispersed the Filipinos,
and, after the fighting was over, buried
125 of them. There were no Americans
killed.

GOEBEL MURDER CASE.
Culton Described the Conference Held
in Lexington.

CultOn Described the Conference Held
in Lexington.
Frankfort, KY, May 5.-W. H. Cul.
ton resumed his testimony in the
Goebel murder investigation today.
He stated that Governor Taylor author.
lied the witness to give Youtsey any
amount of money desired if he would
leave Kentucky. At conference in
Lexington. the Sunday before Goebel
was shot, it was decided that Repre-
sentative Henry Berry, who had been
unseated few days before, should 60
to the house of representatives next
morning and take his seat and refuse
to give it up. Vanmeter, his opponent.
was to be in some way prevented from
going to the hall that morning. Caleb
Powers, who was at the conference,
telephoned to Governor Taylor at
Frankfort two or three times in regard
to the conference. On cross-examina.
tion, Culton said he did not know si
any list of state senators or representa-.
titves who were to be put out of the
way. -
On redirect examination, Culton
said that Sergeant-at-Arms Haley
signed the subpoenas for witnesses for
Governor Taylor to testify before the
gubernatorial contest committee, and
authorized Culton to secure good men
in the various counties to serve them.
Culton said he did not know where
Powers or Youtsey were when the shot
was fired. The last talk he had with
Youtsey, the latter said the plan to kill
Goebel had been abandoned. Culton
had been asked by Taylor to ascertain
what the witnesses in the contest knew,
because he was a lawyer. To the pros
ecution he said he had told more now
on the stand than to any person except
his father. Here his testimony ended.
Circuit Court Clerk Moore, of jack
son county, denied that Culton had
told him anything about the plan to
bring on riot and kill Goebel and
other members of the legislature.
The afternoon session of the court
was taken up with testimony by the
surgeons, who conducted the autopsy
on the body of Goebel, and q civil
engineer who had made measurement
of the state house yard. The prosecu-
tion sought to show, from the nature
of the wounds and from the course of
the bullet. which is supposed to have
passed through Goebel's body and was
dug out of q tree near where he fell,
that the shot WAS fred from . window

| The poultry show given in the Wesener
store Oh North Washington street this
weeF, and closing today, has been success
inasmuch as it has demonstrated that bet
ter grade of poultry Is being raised than
before, although in the number Of entries
and exhibits there has been falling off.
The falling off in the entries, however,
would seem to come more from a lack OF
getting the word around to all of the out
side rsisers of poultry than to falling
part. The local bird faDclers were we'll
represented, V. e. JUS nhars, VIM. Saver,
w. s. Beebe, and j. A. Armstrong alone
furnishing the greater part of the exhibit
which included some two hundred fifteen
birds owned by twenty different exhibitors.
On entering the show the White Wyan-
d0tte's of w. S. Beebe and o. G. Campbell
attracted their share of attention and incl
dentally of premiums, and further on the
Silver Wyandottes Of j. G. Reynolds cap.
tured the most of the prizes in their class.

geese were also close to perfection with
their snowy white plumage. Further on, at
the other side, were Buff Wyandottes, Black
Breasted Red Games and then the fine ex-
hibit of Indian Games and Light Brahmas
owned by VIM. Saver, Jr. Near them
were pens of Buff Cochins and some rare
little beauties, White Cochin Bantams, both
owned Ivy V. K. Josenhans. Davidson &
Son also showed some Single Comb Brown
Leghorns which were fine birds. On the
whole, while the exhibit as noted above Is
much smaller than that of last year, the
birds are finer, and no small amount of
credit Is due 10 the owners who were on
hand with their birds.
