Washington, April 16.-Secretary Root
today cabled General Macarthur asking
for additional information concerning the
reports Of frauds in Manila. It is ex-
pected that reply will be received to-
morrow. While definite instructions have
not been given General Macarthur here
tofore to make searching and complete
investigation, ii is understood that the
requests for information were of char
acter to imply that the department eX-
pscted such an investigation should be
made. Nothing definite has been received
from General Macarthur about the alleged
frauds although reference has been made
TO the investigation in cablegrams re-
ceived The first dispatch on the subject
from General Macarthur said there had
been exaggeration in the press reports,
but the persistence with which the reports
have been reiterated and the news dis
patch today giving names and specific
amounts have indicated to the depart
ment officials that perhaps General Mac
Arthur was not advised fully when he
made his first report 1t can be stated
that the department intends to have all
the information possible on the subject

to push the trials and make complete
report of any and all wrong doings

questioned and said that he never had
any money from the firm of contractors
mentioned; had not borrowed any and
could not explain why there should have

turn to Manila and if the matter is not

failed to convey the proper impression
on them at the time. The cross exami-
nation was not completed and Ripley
will take the stand again tomorrow.
On direct examination Ripley stated
that he had been talking with the boys
in his neighborhood for several years
about getting up company of cavalry

This was the day on which he had the

that stated by Messrs. Bradley and Yost,
was as follows:

found Governor Taylor looking very badly.

badly. to which he replied in substance:
In these horrible times anybody would
look badly. Some irresponsible fool or
crank is likely to kill me or kill Goebel
and cause a riot around here in which
there will be many lives sacrificed. Then

cur and went on talking to him about
my company, which | was getting equip

you got that company yet?' That was
what was trying to tell Governor Brad

stated it to them as clearly as l intend

Ripley denied that he ever said to Fer
guson and Crawford that Goebel would
be killed.
