GOVERNMENT NOT ADVISED.
Washington, March 3l.-It is said at
hoth the White House and war de-
partment tonight that absolutely noun
Ina had been received by the govern
ment regarding the alleged unearthing
OF crooked work on the part OF tne
army quartermasters and others IN Luz
ron and the arrest Of number or per-
sons, In and out Of the army, for steal
ing property Of the government or re-
cevlng stolen government property
Gen. Corbn said, furthermore, that the
government had no intimatlon OF any
sort that such developments might be
expected. He was inclined, for this
reason, to think the frauds against the
government could hardly be 30 serious
as reported, though admitting that this
opinion was based wholly upon the lack
OF advices from the government. Capt
Barrows, he said, was not the regular
quartermaster for southern Luzon, and
must have been acting quartermaster
there at the time Of the arrests.
