CAPTURED BY LADRONES.


Town I'm Albay Province Taken and
Constabulary Made Prisoners.
MANILA, March 3.-Ladrones captured
the town of Gus, in the province of Albay.
yesterday. They at first disarmed the mu-
nicipal police and then surprised the con-
stabulary garrison. A few of the constabu-
larry obtained rifles and resisted stoutly
but they were finally overcome. Two of the
constabulary were killed and fifteen were
captured.
At the request of General Allen, General
Davis will furnish two companies of scouts
to assist the constabulary in suppressing
the disorder in Albay province. Colonel
Scott has been sent to Albay to command
the joint forces.
General Allen has also requested that
two companies of scouts be sent to Batan-
gas and two to Neuva Ecija. There is no
trouble in those provinces, but it is the
generals intention to use the scouts as
police. Fourteen companies of scouts,
numbering 1900 men. are now assisting
the constabuary. The territory around
Manila is quiet, except in the vicinity Of
Cavite, where small disorders have oc-

in Rial province, but it is unable to locate
the ladrones, who are apparently scatter

House bill No. 35S, making II felony to
obtain money by check or draft on a bank
or person where the drawer of the same
has no right to draw 1t, was indefinitely
postponed in the Senate yesterday. The
form of fraud at which this bill is aimed
ought to be regarded as a felony. and it Is
said that the action of the Senate resulted
from a misunderstanding of just what the
bill was intended TO reach. A motion to
reconsider the vote by which it was post
poned will likely be offered. in which case
IL Is to be hoped that the bill will pass.

For several reasons there is less romance

young men have grown more anxious con-

were. more so!ieitous to have an income
that will warrant their marrying and be-
ginning home life, and more doubtful to
make a wife happy on small means than
men used to be. Many young men are so
agreeably established in pleasant bachelor
quarters, where they have home comfort
in addition to independence, that they do
not know the forlorn estate of the men
who are encamped in the dreary waste Of
a boarding house.

DISMISSED THE CASE
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Wer,
Dismissed in the Transient
Merchant Case.

Monday morning at 10 O'Clock Judge
Smith heard the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings in the case OF E. G.. Gard and

without a license and the latter for
acting as an auctioneer without TAX

Meigs for the defendants.
Judge Smith dismissed the case of
the habeas corpus proceedings on the
ground that neither of the defendants
were deprived of their liberty. When
they were fined, the amount of the
fines was placed in the hands of an
other party and they were given their
liberty. So, under the circumstances
the defendants were free to come and

proceedings would have had little
avail in their cases.
The fine assessed against Mr.. Gard
was paid that morning. but Mr..
Marks declined to pay his amount.
Under the circumstances he was TAX
