MEXICAN MANUFACTURERS

A I if teen Million Trust Corporation
Delinquents in Texas.
Austin, Tex., June 28. Leopold
Schwarzm'ann, a cigarette manufactur
er of the City of Mexico, was here to
day en route to Montreal. He an
nounced that all the principal cigarette
factories of Mexico had' formed a trust
for the purpose of controlling the cig
arette business of that country. The
trust has a capital of fifteen million
dollars.
An opinion has been rendered by the
attorney general of Texas, wherein he
holds, that when a foreign corporation
doing business in the state becomes de
linquent in the payment of its annual
franchise and does not pay in six
months the right to do business cannot
be revived by granting a new permit
as has heretofore been the practice.
Many foreign corporations who neglect
ed to pay the franchise tax under this
opinion, are forever debarred from bus
iness in Texas.

Conjectures as to the Mean

ries. OtitHatJiaised Blockade oa SeverajD
Portg Owing to Distress Caused
by Lack of'Pood. ,-0'
Manila, Wednesday Evening. June 2.
A prominent BMHiTJua Jr. TtrffiTMn
ceived a verbal message from Aeuin-
aldo this morning, who is in Tarlac, Instructing-him
to make a complete re
pent regarding both military and bolit-
Ical situations. As-uinaldo wants tn
know the strength of the Anyarlcan
army, the condition of the -troops'and
General Otis' imtenitions regarding his
operations during- the wet season. The
Filipino to whom the request wat sent
is friendly to the Americans, and ha.
repeatedly refused to join Aguinaldo. -Agninaldo's
request is capable of a
double interpretation . It is nossible
that he wants to know what his chance
would be in the event of surrender, or
it is possible he wants information as to
the ports opened by Generaljtis' or
der, by which he might obtain provi-
sions. The request sets at 'rest, the re
port of the assassination of Aguinaldo.
Under General Otife instructions the
blockading -gunboats wtl allow vessels
with regular clearance papers to passH
the blockade. The issuance of this
order was delayed owing to the fact
that open ports would enablethe insur
gents, where they were in jpontrol, to
collect duty on articles bflmports.
General Otis was -influenced in -the
opinion that at several1 ports distress
was 'prevailing as a result othe lack
of food. The order simply permits the
landing of food.
A severe typhoon is delaying the
sailing of vessels which want to take
advantage of the Opening of the Torts.
The situation is quiet south and east of
Manila. Rebel scouters today met a
patrol of the Wyoming regiment and
they fell into the hands of the infanry v
in their effbrts to escape. Two insur
gents were captured with arms. In
creased insurgent activity Is reported
In San Fernando.-. They are apparently
anxious to renew hostilities. It is re
ported that General del Pilar, with two
thousand men, has joined the irtain
body of the insurgents" there.
"SHOVERS OF THE QUEER"
Come to Asheville With Chattanooga
Excursion
Among the excursionists who came
to Asheville last Monday, from Chatta
nooga and Knoxville were thrde or four.
well dressed colored men who conduct
ed themselves in so suspicious a man
ner that they, were "shadowed" by
government officers. It was soon learn
ed that the business of the men was to
circulate counterfeit money.. They
succeeded' to an extent which they
must have considered very encourag
ing, as the half dollars which they cir
culated! were good imitations. A con
siderable quantity of aluminum had
been used in their coinage and they
had the genuine ring.
Sufficient evidence .could . not be ob
tained to Justify an arrest and It Is
believed "the meiv have left the city.
