Only q part of the dispatch from
General Macarthur was given out.
The part, withheld related to the fu-
ture disposition Of Aguinaldo, and
made suggestions as to what the late
chief of the insurrection might accom-
plish.
The announcement that Aguinaldo
has sworn allegiance to the United
States is exceedingly gratifying to the
President. 1t encourages his expecta-
tion that the insurgent chieftain will
20 still further and issue an address
or. proclamation advising his former
companions in arms to accept the am
nesty offered by General Macarthur
in June. 1900.
No official statement could be OBJ
tanned as to what finally would be
done with the prisoner. but it was en-
phatically stated that he would be
held for the present, but would be
granted all possible immunity consist.
ent with existing conditions. General
Macarthur has hopes that great deal
may be accomplished through Aguin-
aldo.
Those familiar with the situation
venture the prediction that Aguinaldo
will be more than Jealous in assist
ing General Macarthur and Commits
sioner Taft in the further establish
ment Of peaceful conditions. 1t is
argued that he will do this to obtain
confidence of the American authori-
ties, which may result eventually III
personal recognition for his services.
1t is said that every inducement will
be offered to the insurgents to come
in and obtain the benefits Of the am
nesty which is to be extended until
May l. 1t guarantees to all persons
who have been in insurrection against
the United States in either military or
civil capacity complete immunity for
the past and absolute liberty of action
for the future.

BIG FRAUDS In MANILA
irregularities in the Commissary De-
partment Unearthed.
OFFICERS AND OTHERS ARRESTED

Government Goods Found in tho Pos
session of Persons Not Entitled to
Them-Army Officers, Civilian Clerks
Prominent Contractor and Other Per-
sons Involved-New Discoveries Daily.
Manila.-Interest in the capture and
fate of Aguinaldo Is well-nigh over
shadowed by sensational develop
ments, present and prospective, Of
frauds in the Commissary Depart
ment. How widely these extend has
not yet been ascertained, but enough
Is already known to justify the belief
that they are far-reaching.
Captain Frederick J. Barrows. of the
Thirtieth Volunteer Infantry, Quarter
master of the Department Of Southern
Luzon, together with seven Commis-
sary Sergeants, several civilian CLERKS,
a prominent Government contractor,
the assistant manager Of the Hotel
Oriente, the prcprietors of three of the
largest bakeries in Manila, number
of storekeepers and other persons have
been arrested.
The investigation has scarcely be-
gun, but thousands of sacks Of -four, a
quantity Of bacon. and wagonloads of
other goods, all bearing Government
marks, have been found in the posses
sion of unauthorized persons.
1t Is alleged that the contractor in
question, who has been doing a busi-
ness approXimating $100,O 900 per month.
has spent huge sums in entertaining
officers.
1t is asserted that large quantities of
stores have been lost or stolen in tran
sit, and also that there Is q shortage
in the commissary depot.
New scandals are developed daily.
Illicit transactions have been traced
back to June, 1900, and it is possible
that there are others Of earlier date.
The exorbitant tariff on provisions
makes the surreptitious sale of COM
missary supplies Immensely profitable.
1t Is understood that other United
States officers may be arrested. Lieu
tenant Philip K. Sweet, Of the Forty
sixth Volunteer Infantry, is prosecut-
ing the investigation, under the direc-
tion of Colonel Wilder, Chief of Police.

also feh over the rock, both screaming
In turn as they fell. Nellie Chase be-
came greatly excited as she saw her
friends 60 over, and she, too, fell after
them.
Table Rock is 200 feet above tide
water, and the side of the mountain
under it is very steep. A man named
Mccarthy heard screams and ran up
the hill. He found Nellie Chase in
the branches Of a large tree, where
she had fallen. She was uninjured.
The Patterson girl was found few
feet further down, with broken arm
and cut and bruised body. Mrs.
Patterson was found further down the

She was about forty-ive years old.

SEALED WIFE IN DUNGEON TO DIE.
Bones Found Under Old House Solve Mys'
terry of Murder Of Seventy Years Ago.

Poultney, Vt.-Workmen removing q
cellar wall under a dilapidated build
ing near Carver's~ Falls have un-
earthed evidence which seems to solve
the mystery Of a murder that occurred
seventy years ago. The laborers were
removing some heavy flat stones at the
base Of the wall. when the earth gave
way and they fell into q pit about
eight feet deep.
The pit was found to be about seven
feet square, with solid stone wall
twenty inches thick surrounding it..
In the centre was set an iron post
four feet high and attached to 1T was
a heavy chain, three feet in length,
with a heavy and old-fashioned pair
of handouts attached. Near by was q
heap Of human bones.
1t is supposed that these are the
bones of the wife of Perry Borden, a
French Canadian, who worked here
seventy years ago. He grew jealous
Of his wife. She disappeared in No
vember, 1881. Borden said she had
deserted him. He disappeared at the
end of year.
