MORE FILIPINos SET FREE.
Second Amnesty Order for 1000 Prisoners
Is the Result of the Surrender
of Gen. Tinio.

Manila, May s.-The liberation of
another 1000 prisoners to celebrate
Gen. Tinio's surrender will begin this
week and the liberation and transport
tation to their homes of the 1000 Fill
iPinos who were set free by Gen. Mac
Arthur, to signalize the issuance of
Aguinaldo's proclamation, is nearly
completed.
Several of the Filipino officers who
have surrendered have sent petition
to the authorities asking that mixed
American and Filipino command be
organized to proceed against the la
drones and volunteering their services
against these thieves and outlaws. It
is probable that some of the former
rebel leaders will be employed for this
purpose, as they are familiar with the
customs of the outlaws and know their
hiding places.

he drove over beds of roses, beneath
a triumphal arch of flowers and fruit
to the Casa Iona hotel, on the bal
cOny of which the exercises took
place. A drive through the orange
groves and parks followed. All along
the route of the drive ladies showered
the president and Mrs. Mckinley with
flowers, and through the streets they
bombarded him from the windows
with confetti until the air was per-
feet maze of color. From Redlands
down to Los Angeles it was one con-
tinuous ovation. Every station was
crowded with children with wreaths
of flowers in their hands, and with
cheering men and women. Minute

din which could be heard for miles.
Steam whistles screamed, cannon

through the Chinese quarter of the
city long strings of fire crackers hung
from awnings exploded like the con-
tinuous rattle of musketry. The city
had been beautifully decorated in
honor of the presidents coming. The
fiesta is in progress here and the
town was dressed like a queen to re-
ceive the coming of her lord. The
colors of the carnival, red, yellow and
green, representing the wine, orange
and olive, predominated. The streets
We're avenues of masts festooned with
yellow bunting and crowned with
palm leaves and with wreaths of
laurel.
Late in the afternoon some OF the

A TEST CASE.
Policy Holders in Defunct Minnesota
ms. Co. TO Fight Payment of
Assessment.

Atty. Jones Of Minneapolis came to
Lancaster Monday and incidentally
instituted action sgainst a score Of
policy holders in the defuncl Min
neapolis Fire and Marine insurance
company.
The company commenced doing
business IN Wisconsin in 1898 and T.
NJ. Young was given the agency for
it here in 1899. 4 number of risks
have been carried by the organization
in this locality through Mr.. Young
The company purported to be man
aged on the old line plan with no
assessments-you simply paid your
premium and received your policy
good for protection for stated time.
In January last the company levied
an assessment on all policy holders in
the state. 4 few paid but majority
refused on the grounds that they were
paving for old line insurance and
should be exempt from all assess
ments. In March the organization
was declared insolvent and receiver
was named.
Now this receiver is endeavoring TO
force these policy holders to pay, and
legal proceedings are being instituted
all over the state. Among the policy
holders here are j. G. Harshberger.
c. j. Hyde & Son. j. p. Smith and
others-nearly twenty in all. 4 ha.
been agreed by both parties in the
litigation to make a trial of one case
and abide by its decision to settle al
the others. j. &. Harshberger is &c
be this one defendant.
Attorneys W. j. Brennan and Geo.
B. Clementson have been retained by
the defendant and Ed Nj. Lowry is to
assist Atty. Jones in the interests Of
the plaintiff. The case will probably
be tried ct the October term Of cir.
cult court here. Defendants attor-
news have filed demurrer.
