Of dollars has been unearthed in Ma
Mia, and the disclosures thus far made
indicate that the extent of the frauds
has been more far reaching than any
which have been perpetrated against
the government in recent years. Only
the barest facts concerning the swim
dies have thus far been learned, but
these are sufficient it is claimed to
show that a systematic robbery of the
government has been going on for
some time. A score Of United States
military officers and civilians promi-
nent in the business life Of Manila
and southern LuZon are already under
arrest and there is strong ground for
the belief that many more arrests are
in prospect. Captain frederick J. Bar

and it is charged that he is one OF
the chief cOnspirators in the plot to
loot the government. Barrows enter

three insurgents were killed. The reb-

that foolishness; quit wasting ammu-
nition."
Hilario Placido, one of the Tagalog
officers, and a former insurgent major,
who was wounded in the lung by the
fire of the Kansas regiment at the bat

tanned at last The commanders first
utterance was that the insurrectiOn
would die out as soon as the hostile
natives learned for a certainty that
their leader was a prisoner. He had an
immediate audience with Aguinaldo,
whom he treated with great considera-
ton. General Macarthur, however,
would not divulge anything that
passed during the conversation. The
most rigid precautions were taken to
guard against any attempt at escape
on the part of Aguinaldo or of any Of
his faithful adherents to rescue him.

came on March %. He had just be-
gun to carry out his daring project
when it was Unexpectedly consum-
mated. He was scouting with a small
force in Isabella province. when he
ran into the hiding place of Aguinaldo.
