GEN. LUCB[N CAPTURED.
One of the Most Energetic and Fe-
rocious of the Samar InSur-
gents Prisoner.
HAS ALWAYS Been AN lRRECONClLABLE.
william DunstOn, an Alleged Dcser-
ter From Company G, Eighth In
fantry, Also Taken, Together
with Arms, Ammunition and
Tools for Making Ammunition.

Washington, Feb. 27.--Gen. Chaffee
has notified the war department that
Lieut.. Stribler, of the Philippine
scouts, captured Gen. Lucban on the
22d inst. The prisoner is confined at
Laguan.
Another important capture is re-
corded in the same dispatch from
Gen. Chaffee, namely, that of William
Dunston, said to be deserter from
Co. c, Eighth infantry, who had in
his possession a lot of arms and am
munition, and all of the tools neces-
sary for the making of ammunition.
He was captured by Second Lieut..
Pratt, of the First infantry, at Gag
hian, on the island of Samar. The
lieutenant also destroyed the Quarter
and the factory, and killed II sol
diers, besides capturing all of Duns-
tons correspondence,
The officials Of the war department
regard the capture Of Lucban as the
most important military event since
Aguinaldo was captured He was run
down on the island of Samar. The
place of his confinement is a tiny
island in a bay on the north coast OF
Samar.
Lucban is one of the most ener-
getic and fcrociouS of rebels. He is
half-brced. a mixture of Chinese
and Filipino stock, and he has been
an irreconcilable from the first. He
had various Businesses in the noun
tains of Samar from which he would
descend upon the coast towns, and
his reign of terror was so complete
that the entire population Of the ISL
and paid tribute to him as the price
of freedom from attack. Ordinary
campaign methods failed in his case,
and his capture now is believed to be
the natural working out of the sys-
TEN of dividing the island into small
squares by military garrisons and
making it impossible for the insur-
gents to obtain food or shelter.

How Coal May he Saved.

When IL is understood that the same
amount OF fuel is consumed In produc-
Ing either gas or heat, ii is readily seen
why one person will use four times as
much coal as another without produc.
ing any more heat. If as much. When
feeding coal after the fire is made. only
Il small quantity should be fed at n
time. and that spread evenly over the
surface Of the fire, for when fresh coal
is added il for Il time lowers the TEN
perature of the fire box Dust as pouring
cold water into pot Of boiling water
stops the boiling by lowering the tenn
peraturel until the added coal is heated
up to the igniting point, when ii first
begins 10 burn and adds its heat TO the
mass. When but little coal is added,
this lowering. Of the temperature will
be hardly noticed. but add a large guam.
tity. and it can be plainly seen.
