Lieutenant Taylor Tells How Funston
Got Tip on Auuinaldo.


New York, April 1O.-A special to
the World from Lake City. Fla, says:
]. D. Taylor, prominent citizen of
this city, has received letter from
his son, Lieutenant James D. Taylor,
Jr., of the Twenty-fourth United States
infantry. which shows that the young
man, with kindness and cigars, won
over seven Filipinos and secured the
information which enabled General
Funston to capture Aguinaldo.
In modest, matter-of-fact way the
lieutenant tells his father about his
clever exploit and of General Fun
ston's full acknowledgement Of his SER
vices. The letter, dated at Bantaban-
gan, Philippine islands, February IS,
1901, is in part as follows:
"On February 2, seven instructors
with one rife and six cartridges, pre-
sented themselves. They were pretty

them cigar each and asked them a
few questions and they answered me
with all kinds of lies.
Il told them they were tired and no
doubt wanted to see their families, so
after signing the oath of allegiance
they could go home and report the next
morning, ready to tell the truth.
The next morning they came IN, a
little more at ease and told different
tale. By questioning found that they
had concealed some letters in the
woods and l went right out and got
them.
after reading their letters l found
that they had not told me the whole
truth and began questioning them
again and found that Aguinaldo was in
the town they came from and all about
him.
"Two days later i got his special
messenger, who had orders from Agui-

after the men had all been taken
there. and Fred Pasnau was released
until this morning. when he was re-
turned to Jail and the money taken up.
1t was feared by the officials that en-
ough money would be raised II the
bonds We're kept at $500 to get some
of the men out of Jail, and then they
would escape. 1t was to prevent this
that the bonds were raised.
Raised to $1,000 Except for Pasnau.
E. A. Jones appeared before Judge
Moon in police court this morning and
objected strenuously to Chas. Pasnau
being released on bail, and objected to
the size of the bail as decided upon by
Judge Moon. He said the men had
better be kept in Jail and sent to the
penltentiary, than to have them
swung from lamp post, which the
citizens of Ottumwa would do if the
matter was not Strengthened out, and
the men given their just deserts. He
said the people of Ottumwa would not
stand that kind of work, and the soon
err the officials understood it the bet
ter. H. A. Smith was also with Mr..
Jones, and he said he understood two
of the Pasnaus were out on bond,
which he did not think was right, and
that the citizens of Ottumwa would
not stand it. He said the people of
this city were tired of the way things
were run at Pasnau's saloon, that it
was hangout for thieves and thugs
Of all kinds. He said some effort
should be made to put an end 10 It,
and if there had not been any COM
plants as yet,there would be plenty of
them before the day was over.
Judge Moon told the gentlemen that
he had decided to raise the bonds of
all the men except Chas. Pasnau from
$500 to $1,000. He said he had no rec
ommendation to do this in Chas. Pas
nau's case, but if he had, he would do
SO.
Excitement This Morning.
AS the morning advanced the excite.
ment increased and several delega-
lions of citizens called on County At
torney Emery to protest against the
action in placing the bond for the men
at such low figure. After consul
tation between Mr.. Emery and Judge
Moon. the bond of all six men were
increased to $4,000 and Chas. Pasnau
was again taken into custody. When
he learned that the bonds had been
raised to $4,000 M.Schwartz, who sign
ed Pasnau's bond last night refused to
further identify himself with the case,
and withdrew from the bond. After
this Chas. Pasnau could not give bond
and about 1920 o'clock this morning
he was placed in the county Jail by
Chief Gray.
Closed His Saloon.
Later a search warrant was sworn
out against Pasnau's saloon and al
legged gambling house, and Chief Gray
closed both of them, placing Officer
Pitts at the door to guard it until dray
wagons could be secured and the cap
tured goods removed.
Liquors Confiscated.
At noon Chief Gray had dray back
up to the rear door of Pasnau's saloon,
and the loading up of all the liquors in
the place commenced. All the barrels
and case goods were taken to the city
Jail, and locked up in the cells there.
The second load contained the gamb-
ling paraphanalia. which was also
taken to the city hall.

DEMING'S PAROLE BILL.

The Deming bill, as amended, and which has
been favorably recommended to the house by the
committee prisons and reformatories, will prob
ably become law.
While the measure does not allow the full re-
demption grant ultimate freedom to the life
prisoner it must be conceded that it is in the
right direction Every reform is effected by degrees
and we have no doubt but that the department of
released under it's conditions will merit and be
leniency, until every of whatever character
is at least given the opportunity of redemption
Under this bili-if it becomes law-the life
prisoner will become eligible for parole after having
served thirty five years of the sentence less good
time allowance, and the parole restrictions will
tinue during the life of the prisoner.
The following excerpt from the bill was pub
ished in the St. Paul Pioneer Press and may be of
concern. We quote as follows:
That no convict who is serving under life SEN
tence shall be paroled until he shall have served
under such sentence thirty (35) years. less the
diminution which he would have been allowed by
law for good conduct had be been sentenced for a
term of thirty-five 1857 years.
That such life convict shall be paroled with
out the consent of the governor in writing, nor
unless it appears to the board of managers that there
is strong and reasonable probability that he will
live and remain at liberty without violating the law,
and that his release is not incompatible with the
welfare of society Geographical parole limits may
be fixed in each such case, wholly within the limits
of this state, which limits may be enlarged or re-
duced according to the conduct of the prisoner so
paroled.

Hsute affair, these attempts TO be expected
When satisfied as to their immunity to punishment
we can but expect impunity in action.
The sheriff at Terre Haute was warned of i'm
pending danger, the government proered assistance
yet he practically took precaution. No prosecu-
ton of the malefactors has been pursued is it
probable that any further action will be taken.
To Gov Durbin is credit due for personally
attending to the emergency and insisting that the
law must take it's course. But for the opportune
presence of the militia mob's savage impulse fol-
blood would have been satiated and another public
crime placed on record.
Although the prisoner identified by the
VICTIM it has since developed that the prisoner
in city IS miles distant at the time of the crime
and further, that the guilty is under
arrest at Daneville.
The possibility of such development, in itself
must show how extremely outrageous mob rule may
be.
Lynch law never effected any good purpose
and is as wrong in spirit in deed leaving the
most upright citizen much in danger of the
passions of a mob as the culprit himself.
The habit of disregarding the law has tendency
to grow in frequency with each recurrence of &C.
casion The arrest and conviction of the ringleaders
to these public ofenses should be certain in every
case and not until the authorities take due action
can we expect decrease of occurrence.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY'S INAUGURAL.

The inaugural address Of President Mckinley
includes much that would suggest itself to any reader
It embraces comprehensive review Of the conditions
that presented themselves and the manner in which
important questions treated. His warning
against extravagant public expenditures were strongly
set forth and the cry of imperialism he shows to be
absurd The recent war with Spain is deplored, and
rejoicing in the victory he assumes the response
bilites for the manner of conduct.
He declares purpose to extend liberty to the
people of Cuba and the Philippines, but will not
consent to this before becomes apparent that their
liberty would probably remain permanent. He
anticipates an early opportunity when by our
direction and encouragement "free Cuba shall be a
reality and not name perfect entirety not hasty
experiment bearing within itself the element of
failure" The Philippines will be given sef-govern-
ment whenever and as conditions warrant
The prosperity of our country is enlarged upon;
the extention Of commerce and industry is taken up,
besides the redundancy and stability of currency
The increase in the employment of labor is pointed
out, and he shows that the increased taxation for
war is in process of reduction.
