ROUMANiAN PEASANTS UNABLE
TO WITHSTAND THE FIRE
OF THE ARTILLERY.
MANY LEADERS BEHIND The BARS
GOVERNMENT HOPES UNDISCIP
LINED BANDS WILL SOON
GIVE UP FIGHT.

Bucharest, Roumania, April l.
Field guns loaded with grape shot, &C
cording to the official reports, are win
ming against the revolutionary peas
antry, whose arms are mostly hayforks
and scythe blades. The insurgents
were able to hold their own against
the troops at close quarters and even
withstood cavalry charges, doing ter
rible execution with long prongei
forks and scythe blades strapped to
long poles, but the slaughter since the
troops used artillery appears to be
terrifying them into submission.
In the district of Vlashica, where
the outbreak was particularly serious
large numbers of insurgents have sur
rendered and have denounced their
leaders to the authorities, with the
result that many Of the latter have
been arrested. The government hopes
that with the leaders in Jail the un.
disciplined bands will soon abandon
the field.
The. self-styled generals" usually
turn out to be country schoolmasters
and village priests. Many women are
fighting in the insurgent ranks and
some of them have been found among
the killed, side by side with their hus
bands, sons and brothers.
A number of conflicts between
troops and marauders continue to be
reported.
Although the disorders are dying
down in some districts the agitation
is spreading in the provinces adjacent
to the Carpathian mountains, which
hitherto have been quiet. Much plum
dering and incendiarism has taken
place among the farms and in isolated
hamlets. Troops are in active pur
suit of the marauders.

through rI9htIng.
Washington, April 1. At least
sixty days will be required for the
election of a president by the pro
visional government in Honduras and
the establishment of the new admin
istration on such a basis that it can
command the general recognition OF
the world powers.
This delay necessarily will make
conditions in Central America even
more uncertain, according to Latin
American diplomats, VINO have ad
vices that President Bonilla has nc
thought Of giving up the fight, but is
busily reorganizing his army in the
hope of reversing his former defeats
Telegraphic correspondence has
been in progress between the Wash
ington officials and the diplomatic
Representatives in Central America
and Mexico for the past forty eight
hours relative to the Central Amer
lean imbroglio.
Because decisive results have not
yet been reached and the information
necessary to make a clear statement
of the situation remains to be sup
piled, no statement revealing the de
tails of the negotiations could be OBJ
tanned for publication.

MI. Wilson.
"No longer can there be anything
like universal crop failure" said the
secretary. There is no reason to an.
ticipate anything unusual one way or
the other this year Our people now
understand more about the growing
of crops, how to prepare the soil, how
to SOW seed and how to cultivate
plants and harvest grain.
1.-THE tlurries that are occurring in
Wall street are not affecting the farm
population at all. Many of the farm
ers do not know anything about them
and II they do they think there is sim
ply a manipulation of stocks with
which they are not concerned. You
cannot get the farmer to touch any
thing of that kind now because he
does not know what the consequences
may be- A sad reflection on our rail-
road stocks at this time is the fact
that Northwestern farmers, who have
made and still are making money,
know so little about railroad securi-
ties and have so little confidence in
them that they won't touch them. In
stead they are sending hundreds of
millions of dollars across the border
into Canada to buy land, which they
know won't run away" ..~
The secretary deprecated the failure
Of railroads to furnish transportation
for crops, pointing out that many bins
were full of grain as a result of lack
Of transportation In consequence
money that would have been paid for
these crops is not in circulation.

San Francisco, April Librarian?
Ruef has made it plain that his de
Tense on the charges against him
made as the result of the confessions
of the supervisors will be that in each
case the testimony Of the confessing
supervisor stands without corrobora

provision that the testimony of an

for conviction.
This came out in the course of an
Interview in which Ruef was asked
what course he intended to pursue
with regard to the story told to the
grand jury by Supervisor Gallagher
that he had received all the bride
money from Ruef and had acted as
his go-between in disbursing the sums
to the supervisors.
II can't say anything at this time,
said Ruef, "but, of course, you under

uncorroborated; he has no one tc

Roads File Notice With Interstat,
Commerce Commission.

Washington, April lin accord
ance with their intention expressed
some time ago the railroads constitut-
ing the Western trunk lines, the Gen.
trail Traffic association and the East
ern trunk lines have filed with the
interstate commerce commission tar
ifs increasing their rates on eastbound
grain and grain products to become
effective at once. This action of the
carriers was taken, it is understood,
because Of the enactment by legisla-
lures of some of the Western states of
laws regarded as inimical to their in
terests. The particular law to which
the railroads took exception was the
2-cent fare act Of the legislature of
Nebraska. Seen after the passage of
that act officials of the railroads in
terested held a meeting in Chicago at
which it was decided not only that
they should test the constitutionality
Of the measure but that it would be
necessary for them to increase their
freight rates on eastbound grain.

DR.. Hamilton's examination was
taken up by District Attorney Jerome,

lection was based on the ground that
Dr.. Hamilton had been physician In
the employ of Thaw and was there
fore barred from testifying.
DR.. Jackson r. Campbell, a former
Tombs physician, was then called. He
said he had seen Thaw many times
since his incarceration but declared
he had seen nothing unusual in his
actions.
Thaw's Guard on the Stand.
Following DR.. Campbell the commits
sion called the prison guard, George
r. Spelman, to the stand. Spelman
has had personal custody Of Thaw for
the past six or seven weeks. He has
accompanied Thaw to and from the
courtroom during the trial. Cues
toned by Chairman Mcclure he said
he had never noticed anything unusual
in Thaw's conduct and nothing in the
expression of the prisoners face had
ever attracted his attention.
Spelman was excused and John
Jones, a prison keeper in the Tombs,
was called He said he had seen Thaw
or an average Of four times day;
had often talked with him on topics
OF the day and never noticed anything
peculiar about him.
Jones said Thaw always talked in a
normal way. ThaW often commented
on the quality of the food and various
topics about prison life, etc.
Thaw's attorneys declared that their
client had not suffered in the least at
the hands of District Attorney Jerome

Thomas G. Jones Of the United States

back to the railroad rate and regula-

the application Of any or all Of them
which will tend to decrease the COM
