?
Washington, Mar 1ft.? Oscar La w
ler. assistant attorney general for the
Interior department was recalled to
Ow stand for cross-examlnatloa by
Attorney Brandols this morning when
the Balltnger-Plnchot investigating
, commission resumed Its heartag.
U? ler was much more subdued
and calmer today than wh?n he be
gan' testifying on Tuesday. _
If Mr. Lawler had been sitting on
tbV mourners bench at a furicija'. he
could no' haro looked more glum
and serious than he did this morning.
His answers were curt, but they were
not so ^Isrespectfol as when he first
took the stand.
He kept his eyos fastened />n the
table before him and never cast so
much as a glance at Attorney Bran
dels while being questioned.
Letters which passed between Bal
VJnger and George W-. Perkins of Iho
Arm of J. Plerpont Morgan ft Com
pany and which were asked for by
Mr. Brandels and transmitted to the
committee' were not placed In the
secord as they did hot refer to the
subject of the committee's Inquiry.'
Mr. Brandels pouted out that letters
' mentioned In the correspondence al
ready read had not been produced.
Taking up the cross-examination of
Lawler, Mr. Brandels ?night to as
certain whether Mr. 2,awler In writ
ing his Uetter **ls If he were ihe
president" had approached the mat
ter In a judicial frame of lAlnd. Mr.
.Lawler thought the had.
"Didn't you hare any prejudice one
Way or the other?" r
"Only the prejudice which one hon
est man has In favor of another bon
iest man sqd against a dishonest one."
replied the witness.
Mr. Lawler aald that after an ex
amination of the records, he had
"reached the decialon that Mr. Bait
lager In- whom he had always had the
greatest confident* had told the truth
and that Claris had not."
"You know that Claris had no
knowledge of the chargea. you were
making sgalnst him?"
"I made no chargea agalifst him,
except Insubordination.*'
"Didn't you charge him with un
truthful n# gleet of duty aad delay in
the preparation of the Cunningham
_ case?"
"1 only stated the facta."
Mr. Brandels pointed oat that In
writing his letter "as If he was presi
dent," he had omitted refereace to
certain material documents Including
.two reports on the Cunningham
claims made by Claris.

and a number of interested parties
the bids for the $8,410,000 refund
ing State bonds to be issued July 1
under the act of the last Leglftlature
providing for the taking care of
bonds outstanding, that mature in
1910.
There were thirty-nine bids which
ranged from par, which is the min
imum at which the State Is allowed
under the constitution to sell Its
bonds, to 104H*' A great number of
the bids were fet par, especially those
coming from large financial Institu

highest bids were by citizens Individ
ually bidding tot blocks O* bonds
from $5,000 to $50,000, the aggre
gate of bids being $1,765,000. After
the bids were opened, the Council of
State decjded that pending actual

to the press the bids tn detail.
The greater part of the afternoon

five large paper balloons, eome of |

cotton tied on. These balloons went
some three hundred upward and
then floated eastward over that part
of town inhabited by the colored peo

up from that part of town and the
effect of these balloons wis far great

A large crowd of colored people
gathered at the church early In the

ceived here state that the number of
dead wlll. be greater than was first
supposed, totaling fully 125 and that
more than 200 are seriously Injured.
More troops were rushed to the
scene today by special trains, under
General Monteagada. A close watch
is being kept about the ruins. Though
many 'physicians and nurses have
been despatched from Havana, morfl

Injured are described as terrible.
Although the government is close
ly investigating the report that the
explosion was the first manifestation
of the negro uprising threatened to
start yesterday, the belief is general
here that this theory ;? wrong. The
fact that tile Rurales were transfer

accident is regarded as sufficient ex

Nevertheless the leaders of the
campaign against the negro leaders
are' pyepalng to make the most of the

a similar attempt to the late Senator

revolution by murdering sleeping

RECITAL ,
Commencement Recital Lnat Night
? Was n Great Sucre**.
The commencement recital at the
school auditorium last evening by
Mlas Lillian Bonner's class was listen
ed to with pleasure and profit by a
i large audience. The different selec
tions and the manner in which they
were rendered certainly demonstrated
excellent training and Instruction on
the part of the teacher In thlB depart
ment of the public schools. It was
really a revelation to see how the 1U
tle lots rendered their parts. On ac
count of the length of the program
we cannot publish all the numbers,
suffice it to say every one taking part
acquitted themselves creditably, not
only to themselves bu* to their teach
ers and the school. Some of the mus
jical selections readered would have'
done credit to much older students.
The largo audience showed their ap
preciation by continually applauding
the pupils. Miss Myrtle Ecklin was
awarded the prize for memorizing
the most music during the year ahd
Miss Margaret Williams the prize for
being the best studont. Altogether
the occasion was a most enjoyable
one and reflected credit upon Miss
Bonner as a teacher.

Left Unguarded For ? Moment and
IMiapprarrd.
Oil City. Pa., May 1?.? Thirty-two
thousand dollars was stolen from the
OH City office of the Adams Express
Company early today. The theft is
one of the most mysterious crimes of
the kind committed In Pennsylvania
in years. Not a clew was left by the
robbers. The money belonged to the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
It *vns tak"u from the office in the
absence of Night Manager Truby. He
left the pffice unguarded for a few
minutes, about 4 a. m. When he re
turned- there was no trace of I he
money.
The ^ theft had evidently been
planned carefully by practiced crim
inals. It is believed they had kept a
careful watch on llie office for days,
possibly for weeks, till the opportune
moment arrived.
More tnan 200 detectives -took up
the case within a short time after fhe
robbecy_was discovered. The Penn
sylvania Railroad, the Express Com
pany and the local authorities de
tailed their best men. ^
A close investigation of theiielgh
horhood of the office brought tf^ight
no clew that would aid the searchers*
How the robbers escaped could not
be determined with any degree of
certainty. While some of the detec
tives are inclined to believe that they
got away disguised as common ho
boes on a frc!ght train, the search In
the main is being conducted with the
idea that a resident or residents of
the town are guilty.
A report received here this morn
ing sent the detectlven working on
the possibility of the robbers having
escaped by automoblle.vSA speeding
car was declared to have been seen
speeding out of town not long after
the robbery.
A dragnet was today thrown over
Pennsylvania from one end to the
other, and the large cities notified of
the robbery.
j~ The money In three*bags. The
exact total was <32,024.24. It had
been turned over to the day agent
yesterday by S. Montellus. of Phila
delphia, cashier of the pay car of the
Pennsylvania road, when he had fin
ished paying on the Buffalo & Alle
ghany division, and later turned over
to Truby. It was consigned to the
treasury at Philadelphia.

tended to alarm the crowds.
The court removed today from
Buckingham Palace to Windsor,
where the final funeral services will

This afternoon the vanguard of the
30.000 troops that will participate In

centers.
In the squares, parks and streets,
bivouacs were established, and by
midnight tonight London will resem
