Most FeroCiouS and Cruel of
Insurgent Leaders.
WAS AN IMPORTANT EVENT
Reports of Officers Show That He Es-
tablished Ammunition Factories
Wherever He Went, and Was Assisted
ty Best Filipino Labor.

General Lucban one of the most fero-
cious and cruel of insurgent leaders in
the Philippines. has been captured. This
information was received al the War De-
partment yesterday. morning, in a cable
gram from General Chaffee. at Manila.
The officials at the War Department con-
slider his capture an important event,
leaving as it does, but one of the really
influential insurgent leaders al large. This
is General Malvar, who has been directing
the campaign in Samar.
General Chaffee gives details of Luc-
bans capture except to say that it was
effected by Lieutenant STROLLER of the
Philippine scouts, on February %, and
that Lucban is now confined at Laguan.
The despatch then tells of capture by
Second Lieutenant Pratt, of the First In
fantry.
Cablegram Thought to Be in Error.
This part of the cablegram is not clear,
and is undoubtedly in error in some par
ticulars. 1t says: Second Lieutenant
Pratt First Infantry, captured at Gag
bayan. Samar, William Dunston. said TO
be a deserter from Company c, Eighth
Infantry. had lot of arms, ammunition.
and all tools for making ammunition. De-
etroyed Quartet, factory. killed eleven
soldiers. and captured all his correspon-
dence"
The army officers believe that the two
captures were at different places, and
while not certain. they are of the opinion
that the correspondence referred to is
Dunston's. and not Lucban's. search
of the rolls of the army. made yesterday
afternoon. failed to show any soldier by
Ihe name of Dunston having enlisted in
the army in the last ten years. Company
c, of the Eighth Infantry. was in Cuba.
but has never been in the Philippines.
1t is thought that the man captured by
Lieutenant Pratt has given false name
TO prevent Identification. There is no
doubt that the ammunition factory was
under the direction of General Lucban.
Established Ammunition Factories.
All the reports of officers who have
taken pert in chasing him through the
Island of Samar show that wherever he
went Re established ammunition factories,
and was always assisted by the hest Fill
Pine labor IN producing ammunition for
the insurgents. He was always well sup
piled with money. and for over two years
has managed TO elude the military forces
sent to CAPTURE him. He barely escaped
capture several times when pursued by
Colonel Allen in Samar
He is man of some education. physi-
clan by profession, and comes of a prom
inent family in the Province of Tayabas.
He was prominent in the KatiDunan Sc
cret Society, and a member of the Ma
lolos Congress. He was sent into the
southern islands by Aguinaldo at the out
break of the instruction, and has remained
there ever since He is of a brutal dis
position. and is believed to have planned
ihe massacres at Palargiga and Gandara

The Man from Mexico" will be present
cd by the Chase Musical Comedy Com
pany at Chase's next week for their first
appearance here this season. II. A. Du
Souchet, who wrote the brilliant Theo-
sophical satire My Friend from India"
is the author of the present work, and it
has been credited with being superior in
every way to his earlier play. 1t is
especially adapted to vaudeville presenta-
ton in its construction; like the Hoyt
plays, it permits of the Interpolation of
specialities without interrupting the
dramatic interest 1t satirizcs the men
dacious marital methods of some married
men and also reveals in the mirror of
ridicule the weakness of some women for
lavishing flowers and sympathy upon IA

Lafayette-"The Masaueraders."

At the Lafayette Square next week the
Bellows stock company will revive Henry
Arthur Jones play. The Masqueraders,'
which was used as the vehicle for intro
ducing the present stock company to the
Washington public last year. 1t is one of
the strongest in the long list of Jones
contributions to modern stage literature.
and like most of his other efforts, depicts
some particular phase of human nature.
In the present instance The Masquerade
ers" are those who seek to hide their real
sentiments under the society mask of
conventiOnality.
1t will be recalled that when the play
was produced by the stock company last
year the three principal characters were
played By Blanche Bates, Eugene Or
monde. and John T. Sullivan. AS Sir
Brice Skene Mr.. Sullivan made tremen-
deus hit. the tinesse of his characterize
ton making it truly notable. Naturally
he has been cast for the role in the pres
ent revival, and his admirers are looking
forward to his playing of the part with
the most peasurable anticipations. Miss
Lawrence will be the Dulcie Larondie and
Mr.. Whttlesey the David Remon.

The Academy-"Shore Acres"

There is something splendidly encour-
aging to the lovers of refined stage art in
the longlived success of James A.
Hernes pastoral comedy drama, Shore
Acres" which comes to the Academy of
Music next week.
This simple play of American home life,
that touches nature so closely, seems TO
have lost none of its charm. 1t makes no
difference how many times one sees it;
one always finds soSthing new, per-
ceives some delicate touch, some subtle
impression, which has escaped one before.
New England life has been SO often car
featured by both the novelist and the
dramatist that we are surprised when
someone looks beneath the surface, finds
the New England heart, and depicts the
serious realities of the New England
character Mr.. Herne has done this in
his play. He has taken a bit of typical
New England life and tenderly and sympa-
thetically made it into a play.

Nothing gains more favor with the thea
tregoing public than a good up-to-date
burlesque and vaudeville show, perform
ance that is far above and entirely diff
ferent from all others. This is what the

promised for next week, when the Crack
er Jacks" open for a weeks engagement.
The favorable impression this company
made here earlier in the season is remem-
bered. and their only aim on this visit is
to add new laurels-not to mention max
ing a little money. To this end have been
engaged some well-known players of
comedy, vaudeville, and burlesque, who

A Fenimore Cooper Letter.

An autograph collector of Philade-
phia has in his possession the following
letter written by James Fenimore
Cooper to his publishers in 1881:
Il hope you will be wrong in antici-
pating a bad reception for The Bravo
| cannot tell you much of its reception
in Europe, though Gosselin says it is
very decidedly successful in France.
America is, of all countries, one of the
least favorable to works of the imag-
ination. In Europe or rather. in Eng
land, where there has existed q neceS-
sity of accounting for some success in
the very teeth Of their prejudices and
wishes. it has been the fashion to say
that no writer ever enjoyed so favOra-
bic an opportunity aS | because | am
an American and sailor. AS to the
sailor part of the business, it is gross
ly absurd, for what advantage has an
American sailor over any other? They
know the falsehOod of what they say
in this respect, for | can get $4,000 fol
nautical tale that shall celebrate Eng
lish skill tomorrow. For myself | can
write two European stories easier than
can write one American. Why, Eu-
rope itself is romance, while all
America is matter of fact, humdrum,
common sense region from Quaddy to
Cape Florida"

Things He Didn't Undersfand

At the table on an Incoming liner on
q recent trip one of the first cabin pas
sengers found in an oyster one of the
tiny seed pearls which look almost
exactly like bird shot. Apparently the
formation of pearls was mystery to
him. for he examined the thing curious
ly. picked it up gingerly and laid it on
the tableclOth for further investga-
ton.
Now, it is a habit of cooks at sea to
carry tiShhOOks in their pockets. and
on this trip, by curious coincidence
part of small hook got caught in a
piece of beefSteak that was served to
this particular passenger. As soon as
his knife encountered the bard object
he started, picked 1t out carefully and
laid it beside his other find on the
cloth.
Then he beckoned to the waiter and
confidentiaily whispered in his ear.
II don't want to be impertinent." he
said, but would you mind telling me
where you shoot your oysters and why
you catch your steaks with a hook and

German Students and Beer.

To speak Of the pleasures of the Ger
man student and make no mention of
beer would be like the play of Ham
let with the part Of the melancholy
Dane left out As the student strollS
about the country or the city. in the
music halls and theaters at his social
gatherings of all kinds, at dinner or at
supper, he steadily drinks his beer
The code of health drinking and the
etiquette Of the drinking bout are COM
pGcated and most punctually observed.
All university functions include a
great drinking bout - jubilees of re-
nowned professors, club anniversaries,
ceremonies in honor of a retiring pro
fessor. Any and every ceremony is in
complete without the formal kneipe
with toasts. He has attempted to throw
a poetical glamour around beer, to in
vest it with the charm of tradition and
TO hallow it with old associations of
college days.
In Europe the American prefers to
drink water, and this is a great nys-
terry to the Germans, who cannot pos
sibly understand how they can prefer
this to beer.-Detroit Free Press.
