MANILA April 1 Interest in the
capture and fate of Aguinaldo is well
nigh overshadowed in Manila by sen
sational developments present and
prospective of frauds in the

extend has not yet been ascertained
but enough is known to justify the
belief that they are far reaching

Luzon together with seven commis

a prominent governor contractor the
assistant manager of the Hotel Ori
ente the proprietors of three of the

of storekeepers and a number of other
persons have been arrested The in
vestigation has scarcely begun but
thousands of sacks of flour a quanti
ty of bacon and wagonloads of other
goods all bearing government marks
have been found in the possession of
unauthorized persons
It is alleged that the contractor in
question who has been doing a -business
approximating 100000 per
month has spent hugs sums in enter
taining officers A prominent com
missary officer is accused of leading
a scandalously immoral life It is as
serted that large quantities of stores
have been lost or stolen in transit and
also that there is a shortage in the
commissary depot
New scandals are developed daily
Illicit transactions have been traced

said at both the White House and

ly nothing had been received by the
government regarding the alleged un
earthing of crooked work on the part
of any quartermasters and others in
Luzon and the arrest of a number of
persons in and out of the army for
stealing property of the government
or receiving stolen government prop
erty General Corbln said further
more that the government had no in
timation of any sort that such devel
opments might be expected He was
inclined for this reason to think the
frauds against the government could
hardly be so serious as reported
though admitting this opinion was
based wholly on tne lack of advices
from the government Captain Bar
rows he said was not the regular
quartermaster for southern Luzon and
must have been acting quartermaster
there at the time of the arrests

Latest Quotation from South Omaha

SOUTH OMAHA
Union Stock Yards Cattle There was a
good liberal supply of cattle which nat
urally had a tendency to mako buyers a
little bearish as there lias been a good
run of cattlo here all this week The de
mand however was In fairly good shapo
and- there- were no radical changes in
prices Receipts included about 45 cars of
beef steers and the better grades sold
in Just about yesterdays notches Good
heavy cattle for export or good hand
weight cattle were In the best demand
and no change was noticeable In the
prices paid for them There was not as
much life to the cow market as has been
the case the greater part of tho week
Buyers were inclined to pound prices a
little and in some cases they succeeded
and In others they did not Bulls did not
show much change in the prices but sell
ers found the market a little dull Veal
calves brought steady prices There were
quite a few feeders here and although
speculators have a good many on hand
they bought up what was offered at about
steady prices This has been a dull week
in stock cattle as the demand from the
country has been very Hht
Hogs There was another light run of
hogs and the market opened about a
nickel higher The hogs began selling
mostly at 390 and 592 and the heavier
grades sold at 393 and as high as 5973
was paid At those prices the market was
fairly active but it was a noticeable
feature that packers all wanted the bet
ter grades and the common stuff was
neglected and left until the last
Sheep There was a fairly liberal sup
ply of sheep and as packers are pretty
well filled up for this week they did not
seem to caro particularly whether they
got anything today or not Quotations

J H Millard appeared before
the legislature and made acknowledg
ment of the honours conferred upon
nlm He and his party first stopped
at the governors office and when in

introduced by Lieutenant Governor
Savage and spoke as follows
Gentlemen I am not here with the
expectation of making any speech I
should have come here and paid my
respects to you yesterday afternoon
but I was detained at home -by rea
son of matters that I could not very
well leave I do not want you to un
derstand that it was intended as a
discourtesy to you in any way as 1
certainly would have foregone any
thing I had at home should I nave
known in advance that you expected
me here but a gentleman here told me
by telephone the session would last
until tonight that you had been here
a long time end would rather rest
last night and see me this morning
On the strength of that I cone uded
to defer my visit and come here today
as very many of you are strangers
to me and let you have a look at the
man you were kind enough to vote for
yesterday
I think it is fair to say that I
have not been -an active candidate for
this office I have a number of friends
here who have been such for years
and fcr whom I have the highest re
gards and most friendly feeling It
is a very great honor and I appre
ciate it most heartily and while I
am not experienced in political affairs
I certainly -will do my best to serve
you and serve the state I think it
unnecessary to detain you you have
been here a long time and I think I
will make ud further rsmarks except
to thank you for your kindness
