IN THE BILIBID PRISON.
Three Former United states Army Ofie.Fs.
Convicted of Commissxry Frauds.
in Prison.

Manila, May 24-The gates of Bill
bid prison swung open last night, and
| admitted a mule wagon, bearing three
former United States officers, who re-
luctantly alighted, and began to serve
sentences in expiration of crimes in
connection with the oommissay
, scandals. The sentences, which were
read to the convicted men, yesterday
afternoon, viii be promulgated to-
day. Capt. Frederick J.. Barrows, late
depot quartermaster of the depart
ment of Southern Luzon, is sentenced
to five years imprisonment; Capt.
James C.. Reed, late depot commissary
at Manila, to three years imprison-
ment, and Lieut.. Frederick Boyer,
late depot commisSary at Calamba, to
one years imprisonment.
By order of the provost marshal,
Gen. George w. Davis, a representa-
tive of the press, was accorded an in
terview with the prisoners. Capt.
Reed and Capt. Barrows seemed CON-
~paratively unmoyed by their situation.
Lieut.. Boyer protested his innocence,
and seemed vindictiye toward Capt.
Barrows, who, he alleged, was alone
guilty of Incorporating bacon.
Maj. Hale, commandant of the pris-
on, cleared a store room to be occu-
pied by the trio apart from the Fill
Pine prisoners, but, a IS Lieut.. Boyer
avoids speaking to Capt. Barrows,
other arrangements are probable.
An examination of the effects of
Knud Engelskjon, the Norwegian,
&hrnnrh whom Tho hnhonono1a
chiefs of Mindanaomade overtures Of
peace to Gen. Otis, and who was re-
Gently arrested for embezzlemenr,
discloses the fact that he had been
acting as an agent of the insurgents
since 1898. He carried, as his Gre
dentials, a letter from the Filipino
junta, in Hong Kong, to A~guinaldo,
and on 81 pretense of examining min
ing property in Mindanao, he visited
the insurgents. Accompanying him
was G.. E. st. Clair, an American. The
latter pretended to be an Englishman,
but yesterday he acknowledged hat
he was acting as the agent of Col.
Cotton, assistant collector of customs
in Manila, and S. H. Steel, a Manila
lawyer, in an endeavor to secure pos
session of mining property in Min
danao before the American troops ar
rived. The insurgents suspected ST.
Glars nationality, and twice SEN
fenced him to be shot, but he managed
to escape. st. Clair was taken into
custody yesterday, and paroled pend
ing the investigation.
The question of the transportation
of the 700 American teachers engaged
to come to the Philippines is so seri-
Gus that Judge Taft has cabled Sec
rotary Root, requesting that trans
ports be detailed or hat other special
arrangements be made, as, owing to
the movement of troops, there are no
accommodations on the steamers.
The commission is solving the prob
lem of procuring accommodations for
American teachers in Manila within
their incomes, by authorizing the fit
ting up of the government exposition
building for lodging purposes.

The Most Prohtable Horse.

Probably the most profitable horse
to breed is the sort now most neglect
ed. A well-gaited saddle horse is al
ways in demand and always brings a
good price, and such a horse can al
ways be made a fair harness horse.
For the "fast man." a fast horse is
wanted for the vehicle; but there are
many staid people who prefer TAX
ing things easier, and with greater
safety-who prefer comfort with as
surance to the huzzas of an excited
mob who loll upon the fourth rail
of the race course fence. And then
there T many men to whom a we'll
gated steed is a second self, and a
business necessity. There is money
waiting for the breeder who can pro-
duce and train such horses as the
modern equestrian demands.-Farm

Development Of the Telephone.

The problem OF long-distance and
underthe-sea telephoning has been
solved 10y DIR. Michael Pupin, of New
York. The device consists OF relay
coils at intervals OF two miles, enclosed
in glass insulators, and by it., the
broad claim Is made that the human
voice may he carried an indefinite dis
lance. These coils may be placed
under water, rs we'll a. on dry land,
which presumes that some means is
employed 10 overcome the resistance
of the wire connections under water.
DIR. Pupin sold his invention to the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company (the Bell combination) with
the option of six months trial. A
line was equipped from Bedford sta
ton, on the Harlem railroad, to New
Bedford, Mass. thence to Albany and
on to Pittsburg, running partially un-
ucr water, ana inc ttSL was 80 SdLlS-
factory that the option was at once
closed, and instead OF paying the in
ventor 5000 as was stipulated, it
was increased to 100000, and II
royalty of $4,000 per annum added
during the lifetime of the patent.
This increase was to secure COM
pleted system of ocean telephony
rendered possible by the device. DR..
Pupin says that it will soon be posi-
bic TO telephone from San Francisco
to London, or from New York to San
Francisco, and receive replies as read
lily as to communicate by central
with your next-door neighbor.
If these expectations are realized,
the submarine cables, which we're
thought to be the elimination OF re-
suits in electrical transmission OF
knowledge, will have had their day,
and will be relegated to obscurity by a
better and cheaper means OF commun-
ication.
Verify we live in an age OF wonder
full scientific achievements.
