OTIS ORDERS THE
HUNGRY TO BE FED
The Country About Bacoor
Practically Without Food,
DEATH OF LUNA DOUBTED
AMERICANS RECONNOITRE IN
DIRECTION OF IMUS.
SPANISH PRSONERS JOIN OUR TROOPS
Belief that Filipino Peace Negotiation Was a
Trick to Gain Time. Luna Compared
Our Struggle for Indepen
dence to Theirs.
Manila.; June 15.-5:50 p. m. —Captain
Cable, of General Wheaton’s staff, with
three companies of the Twenty-first
regiment reeonnoitered in the direction
of ]nnis. The rebels, who were appar
ently expecting an attack retired, leav
ing behind them twenty Spanish prison
ers who joined the Americans.
The rebels have probably gone to the
mountains along the lake.
According to native stories, the rebels
carried 100 dead and 300 wounded
through Bacoor after the recent battle.
The natives are now flooding into
Bacoor. and it is probable there arc
many soldiers in plain clothes among
them. The whole section is practically
without food, and Major General Otis
has ordered the distribution of rice and
beef to the inhabitants.
Many people still refuse to credit the
story of the assassination of General
Luna by the guard at Aguinaldo’s head
quarters, though the reports to that ef
fect arc most circumstantial and from
good sources. Rumors of assassinations
and disasters from the rebel camp are
so frequently printed in the local papers
that they have conn* to In* regarded
with indifference. The latest is that the
Governor of Cebu has been killed by
natives because of his friendship to
Americans.
A prominent commercial man with ex
ceptional means of learning of the Fili
pino’s movements claims to know Gen
eral Luna is still alive, adding that if he
were dead and if his death occurred a
mouth ago people would have expected
a collapse of the revolution to follow.
The failure of the Filipinos to follow
up the peace negotiations strengthens
the impression that their overtures were
merely to gain time and in order to lure
the Americans to show their hands.
The Independence, a revolutionary
organ of May 20th, a copy of which has
just been obtained, prints an interview
with General Luna showing the argu
ments he used to keep up the spirits of
his followers. He represents the Fili
pino cause as prospering, “because the
Americans have gained only a hundredth
part of Luzon by hard fighting,” and
says the women and children tilling the
fields within the American lines give
proceeds of their work to support the
Filipino army. He is said to have furth
er remarked:
“More Americans will be killed l»y
ambuscade, surprises and disease than
in battles.
“1 detest war, but we cannot accept
peace at any price but independence.
The Americans suffered for their own
indejjendenee, and in their own hearts
they appreciate why we resist them.”
THINK ’TWILL SOON BE OVER.
■Washington, June 15. —The War De
partment officials feel greatly encour
aged over the dispatch from General Otis
today and think that the heavy fighting
will soon la* over. Information which
has been received indicating that the
source of supply of ammunition and arms
for the Filipinos has i»ee<n located and
that this supply will now he cut off. it
is said, will result in disaster to the Fil

THREE new regiments.
Hard to organize as the Volunteers Wish
to Return Home.
Washington. June 15.—Pursuing a pol
icy deternwJHMl upon some mouthy ago,
General Otis is organizing three regi
ments in the Philippines composed of
officers and men of the State volunteers
who desire to remain in the service.
The army bill authorized this kind of en
listment in the Philippines. If the full
complement cannot lie made up from
those discharged volunteers in the Phil
ippines .the regiments will be organized
and officered in skeleton form until re
cruits can he sent from the United
States to fill them.
General Otis and volunteer officers in
the Philippines have been consulting to
see how many men will enlist. 'Flu*
number has not been very large os there
seems to be a desire on the part of Rio
volunteers to return to the United States
with their organizations.
These three proposed regiments of
regulars will sail from Sain Francisco
on the twenty-second and twenty-fourth
and those under orders for Manila will
give General Otis 33,000 lighting men.
The field and staff officers and cap
tains of these three regiments will be
selected from the volunteer and regular
officers who have demonstrate! their
special fitness to command and who
have distinguished themselves in action.
It is expected also that the first lieuten
ants will be chosen from second lieu
tenants in the service in the Philippines
who miay Im* esiK*ciaUy commended by
General Otis. The volunteer second
lieutenants will probably go out from
the United States with the recruiting
squads.

prize fights and upheld prize fighting and
the Horton Law. Devery said the re
cent fight complied with the law and
was in all respects a "clean cut con
test.” He fenced a great deal regarding
whether Fitzsimmons was knocked our.
and ended up by saying lie thought the
Cornishman had had enough.
Moss then questioned Devery
as to whether he had made any attempt
to eh*se pool rooms since he was last
on -the stand.
Devery said lie had not. A wrangle
ensued between the two, and unpleasant
personalities were passing when Mazet
ordered Devery to leave tin* room. As

who had attempted to kill herself in a
Bowery music hall. She said the police

All BUCKLE'S MANAGER TALKS.
1 Itiiiks liis People Can Keep up Fight
in Sugar.
Washington. June 15. —The Industrial
Commission held only an afternoon ses
sion and heard hut one witness today.
J. N. .liirvie, of tlu* firm of Arbuekle
A- Brothers, and manager of the firm’s
sugar refining business.
Mr. Jarvie put tlu* necessary margin
between raw and refined sugar at be
tween fifty and sixty pounds to aliow a
profit on tlu* business. He said when
his firm started business in 1898 this
margin was about 90. It had dropped
as low as 52 and was now about 50.
He explained the entrance of tlu* Ar
buekles into tlu* sugar field by saying
that in ’95 they secured a machine r or
weighing and packing sugar and un
dertook to sell package sugar to tin*
wholesale trade. They bought from
tlu* American Refining Company, but
found they could make no profit in that
Wiiy and so started their own refinery.
Mr. Jarvie said there had been many
overtures from the sugar trust to settle
the differences with the Arbuckles hut
they had .all been made “for stock job
bing purposes,” and consequently there
had been nothing in them.
Witness in speaking of the coffee busi
ness in which the American Sugar Re
fining Company had invaded the Ar
buckle’s field, said that while there had
been a decline in prices it would
not he fair to lay it .‘ill to competition
.as there had been a great increase in
coffee production all over the world,
last year’s crop going front 11,000,000
to 15,000.000 hags. *
Asked if lie could suggest any plan
that would lesseni the present destructive
competition in the sugar business, wit
ness said that the tight could only stop
when the one big concern decided to
he content with less than 100 per cent
of all the business in the country.
When asked h»w long tin* rival com
panies could keep on selling sugar at
it ioss, Mr. Jarvie replied cheerfully that
he thought a concern supplying 1H) per
cent of tin* sugar sold in this country
would lose more under those conditions
than the firm supplying the other 10
per cent, and that lie had tlu* 10 per cent
end of the bargain now.

Touny, and asserted that be had taken
lessons in fencing, boxing and kicking,
and that if he had hit anyone the per
son struck would not have been capa

being a Senator or a Deputy his only
chance to speak was in public places
and lu* .wished to prove to President
Loubet that all the world hated him.

charges made against them, saying they
merely cheered for the army and were

rageously and otherwise ill-treated. Wit
nesses then testified that Police Direc
tor Touny was unable to identify his
assailant and that tlu* ]>olice were un
