Replying to further questions from
Senator Patterson, the witness de-
tailed the situation at Manila when he
arrived there in July, 1898. He said that
at that time the natives were besieg-
ing the spaniards in the city in con-
nection with few American troops.
The state of amity between the two
forces, he said, was good and the
Filipinos evidently looked upon the.
Americans in the light of deliverers.
He said, however, that there had not
been voluntary cooperation with the
Filipinos on the part of the Americans
and that no subordinate officer had a
right to commit Gen. Merritt to such
cooperation. ~.

Paw Paw, Mich, April 12.-The ex-
animation of Glenn France, aged IS,
who, with his mother and two sisters,
was arrested at Manton, Mich, Thurs
day, on the charge of having killed
Caleb France, the boys father, was
held here Friday before Justice Row
land. The members Of the family
were arrested on evidence gathered
Nv aprivate detective which tended to
show that Caleb France, who was sup
posed to have committed suicide on
February last was murdered by his
son. The officer exhibited statements
pnrporting to have been signed by
Mrs. Effie B. Forman and Lulu France,
sisters of Glenn, that the boy had shot
HIS father. On the witness stand Fri
day the two sisters swore that Caleb
France had become angry because
Mrs. Forman, his daughter, proposed
going north to join her husband and
that she intended taking her baby
with her. Mrs. France sided with her
daughter and thereupon France
knocked his wife down on the bed
and began to choke her, saying he
would kill her. Glenn then came into
the room and shot his father, who died
almost instantly. The boy afterward
confessed to the court that he did the
shooting. At the time of the tragedy
It was given out by the mainly that

rather hesitate to tell the story, as It
involves number of gentlemen Of
more or less national renown who were
returning from an official mission to
Mexico, and it must be thoroughly UNI
derstood that none Of these persons
is to be named. We arrived at Ell Paso
early in the morning, coming across
the river from Juarez, and were COM
PEELED to wait there for the train that
was to take us north. None of US was
greatly put out at this, because we de-
sired to see something Of the town, and
we did.
II wandered into the smoking-room
Of the hotel; all rooms are smoking
rooms as far as could see, but this
one had sign on the door that pro-
claimed it such. Noticed two OF three
of our most dignified statesmen seated
some distance from the table, which
stood in the center of the room, and
they appeared to be watching some OBJ
ject on the floor.
"'I'll double that bet now, Tom,' said
one of the men as I came in.
"'Go you,' said the other; but they
did not move.
II followed the direction of their
gaze, and saw remarkable sight. On
the floor, about a foot from the table,
was an ordinary roach of enormous
size. The insect was running for all it
was worth. Behind him came O taran-
tula, jumping two feet at a jump. Have
you ever seen tarantula? No. It's
useless to attempt to describe one.
You've heard of them, of course. The
roach would run as fast as he could
for couple of feet, and then the taran-
tula would jump for him. The roach
seemed to know what he was aboat, as
he would stop when his pursuer jumped
and run the. other way, thus allowing
the tarantula to jump over him.
"This sort of thing kept up for half
an hour, and the gentlemen so deeply
interested in watching the pair were
betting on the race between the taran-
tula and the roach. waited and saw
the finish. The roach won. I was told
afterward that this is the favorite
game with the idlers of Ell Paso ard
other border towns, but I'll bet there
was never such distinguished crowd
mixed up in one of the contests before
as that saw in the little hotel in Ell
paso.''

Macarthur esumed his testimony be-
fore the senate committee ON the
Philippines Friday Senator Dubois
asked a number Of questions concern
ing the efficiency Of Philippine labor.
The general said there were about 400
natives employed in q certain corral
in Manila, and for this work they re-
ceived SIS in gold per month while
Americans received $40. The Filipinos
were, he said, quite efficient in this
work, and while this pay was entirely
out Of proportion to that received by
the Americans It was SO much more
than they had been in the habit Of
receiving that they were spurred to
extra effort. He also expressed the
opinion that the natives would be
found equal to the task of cultivating
the agricultural lands of the islands
If sufficiently paid for the services.
Still it was possible that this labor
might not be equal to the demands Of
American and European exploiters.
In this connection he repeated his con-
viction that it is not desirable to un-
duly exploit the islands, and il this
were to be done excessive wages would
be necessary to secure results.
Replying to Senator Patterson Gen.
Macarthur said there were few fac
tories in the islands, but that he be-
lieyed the Fiipinos were capable of
development as artisans. ssThey are
successful" he said, wherever deft-
ness OF touch is necessary. They are
of artistic temperament and will take
high rank as artists. They are full of
