TO EXTERMINATE TnE j VICIOUS PiJLAMES Governor Curry Was Not Cap tured In the Recent Out break In Samoa. REPORTS THE TREACHERY Under Flag cf Truce Fugitives Opened Fire—When Federal Troops Arrive Expedition Against Outlaws ^ Will Begin. Manila, March 28.—Governor Curry Is safe and well, but particulars of his rescue are not available at this hour. General Buchanan, commanding the •department of Vlscayas, has left for Catbalogan, capital of the islund of Samar to lend the aid of the federal government to the insular authorities if desirable. Small detachments of fed eral troops are now assisting constabul ary in pursuit of the fugitive Pula janes. The insular government has not yet requested federal aid. Major General Wood has loaned tlie constabulary 500 Krag-Jorgenson rifles to supplant the single shot Sprlngflelds they have been using. Tried to Capture Him. Governor Curry in a report to the government on the recent engagement with the Pulajanes says: ‘Had a hard tight in which Captain Jones of the constabulary lost half of his command, gaining a magnificent victory in the face of overwhelming odds. "The Pulajanes, under a flag of truce and while promising to surrender, im mediately opened fire, charging the con stabulary. The leader of the Pulajanes ordered his men first to wipe out the constabulary and then to capture my self and other Americans. "I have requested a company of fed eral troops immediately, and later on when joined by this additional force I avill prepare to wage a war of extermi nation against tne fugitives, which is the only alternative. Praises Constabulary. 'The constabulary did splendidly though their inferior firearms which were minus bayonets, placed them at a disadvantage. With the assistance of federal troops we will be able to ex terminate the fugitives who are now in the mountains and will destroy crops. "Natives of Samar with the exception of the Pulajanes are in sympathy with and assisting us. Every town is en deavoring to assist in the extermina tion of the fugitives. “Several prominent Filipinos were present and witnessed the treacherous action of the Pulajanes. "Judge Bollinger and all other Ameri cans are safe.” About Fifty Killed. Washington, D. G., March 28.—The of ficial account of the fight with the Pulajanes on the island of Samar, was received at the war dejiartment today from Governor General Ide, as follows: “On the morning of March 24, Govern or Curry had arranged to receive the surrender of the remaining Pulajanes and leaders at Magtaon, island of Sa mar. The leaders and 100 Pulajanes with fourteen guns, presented them selves. Immediately, before the sur render was to occur, the Pulajanes' leader signaled and all made a bold rush. Judge Bobinger and the district school inspector escaped in one direc tion, and Curry in another, swimming the river and escaping in the brush. Other Americans are safe. “The constabulary lost sixteen killed and wounded. Some guns were lost. Thirty Pulajanes were buried. The Pulajanes were pursued. Curry was lost thirty-six hours, but was presently found in a road to the camp. He withdraws his application for leave of absence and proposes to finish the pacification. Re reports that the natives in the province are actively as sisting him. Each town is zealous to exterminate the Pulajanes." TWO IOWA MEN ARE ROASTED ALIVE Appalling Death Comes to Them When Exploding Lantern in Closed Car Sets Hay on Fire. Fargo, N. D„ March 28.—Two men, eight horses and a cow were roasted to death in a freight car near Gardner station, twenty miles north of here yes terday. The men were en route from their homes in Ayrshire, la., to Wil liams county, N. D., where one of the party, P. S. McGuire, had bought a farm, last fall. Owing to the inclement weather, the doors of the car had been kept closed, and light was obtained from a lantern suspended from the ceiling of the car. In some manner the lantern became un fastened and falling to the floor .ex ploded. Instantly the hay on the floor of the car caught fire, and the car was transformed into a roaring fur nace, and the two men made an effort . Archbold, vice president of the Standard Oil company, testifying at the healing in the ouster pro ceedings brought against the Stand- . ard Oil company by the state of Missouri, said: "John D. Rockefeller has no de sire to evade any questions.” “He dislikes very much notoriety and cartooning," said Archbold. “If Hadley wants to go to Lakewood to question him 1 am sure lie will find him willing to answer any ques tions." “There’s only one way to exam ine witnesses here,” the attorney general Interrupted, "only one way." New York, March 28.—It was last Saturday in a plain, bare office at "74 Broadway,” with no spectacular sel lings and only forty unofficial spec tators, who were of no importance at all, that Standard Oil in all its power surrendered unconditionally to the young fellow from Missouri, w hose name was unknown in New York a year ago. Because the surrender was um?onditional there were certain terms of capiulation asked for almost humbly and granted with readiness, but they were mere formulas. So far as the state of Missouri is concerned the Standard Oil monopoly has passed Into history. That is ad mitted. Not one of the many able law yers of the trust would deny that now. One of them a rugged and honest man —Standard Oil has made honest men its servants, too, sometimes—is tired and hearbrolten with the whole busi ness. Months ago he commenced to fight for a surrender and today when it did come he held a limp hand out to a companion and muttered: "I’m glad it’s over." Standard Oil Was Beaten. It took some time, though, to under stand that it had happened even. It was as sudden and unexpected as a calamity. To conceive it meant an In tellectual readjustment that no head there could compass. Standard Oil was beaten. Not checkmated or delayed or confused, but beaten. Its attorney had said so. A plain man, standing by a cheap table in an almost bare room, the attorney laid spoken in a clear, strained voice the words that meant capitula tion. Herbert Hadley was standing up, loo, his face white and drawn, his body bent forward, his hand gripping the back of a chair. Henry H. Rogers sat In his chair blinking like an owl in (lie sunlight. “We admit that the majority of the stock of the Standard Oil company of Indiana is held by the Standard Oil company of New Jersey and that all the stock on the books of the Wuters-Pierce Oil company of Missouri in the name of N. N. Vail Buren is held by him in trust for the Standard Oil company of New Jersey also.” li_ii_~ ~ Hadley Dictated Terms. John D. Johnson of St. Louis inter jected "for the purpose of this litiga tion only.” Hadley straightened up and his voice was dry and hard as he rasped the sharp retort. “No, no, not that. I want no more ambiguity, gentlemen." They wrangled then in public around that table as they have without the least doubt been wrangling in private for the last three months: wrangled about the mere words. And at every new submission Hadley rasped out, "No, no. If this is to be an admission, I want it to be complete.” His voice had grown hoarse. His hand was thumping the table impatiently. He was more angry in this moment of great victory than he had ever been before. The bickering was so preposterous and trifling. He had them beaten. Down to the very terms of the penalty that the supreme court of Missouri may ex act, fine and absolute confiscation, he i lias them beaten. And they know it. They knew it a week ago. And yet they wrangled about mere words. But mere words have served them well for twenty years. The Great Rogers Blinks. "Can’t we go in?" said Rogers, plain tively blinking at Hadley. Hadley barely replied to him. The attorney stood up again. He submitted another set of phrases. Almost fiercely Had ley refused them and in the end the attorney general of Missouri dictated the terms of the surrender and each of the five attorneys for Standard Oil and its instruments repeated his own name In assent. "And we acknowledge this admis sion,” said Hadley, facing them with his white, st'.atned face, “as attorneys for the Standard Oil company of New Jersey; the Standard Oil company of Indiana; the Waters-Pierce Oil com pany of Missouri, and the Republic Oil company of New York.” And then they repeated their names: “John D. John son," “Alfred L. Eddy,” "H. S. Priest," "Prank Hugernjan,” "William Rowe.” Then Hadley turned to Rogers again. But the interest had left the case. To go further was like trying to get mu sic from a broken drum. Rogers blinked punctuations to the next questions and smiled in a senile way. William (J. Rockefeller followed him. lisping fool ishly. and the inquiry adjourned. Victory Overshadowed Individuals. “Awfully good of you to let me down thu eathily,” the nephew of John D. Rockefeller tittered to the attorney general as he left the room. Nobody noticed his going. Nobody paid any attention to Rogers even. He stood blinking in a corner for a few minutes and then slipped out the back way to cheat the crowd in Wall street of a look at him. Hadley looked white and weary. Rush Lake, his assistant, who ha:-, worked with almost persistent genius to prepare all the evidence for the attorney general, was just as tired. The fight was over. They wanted to go home. But Monday and Tuesday will be spent in New York completing the testimony as to many technical de tails unless Standard Oil again sur renders and admits everything that the attorneys know Hadiey can prove. li. Clay Pierce of St. Louis will come next and he, too, ptobably will admit everything. He cannot well help him self. After that Commissioner Robert 1 . Anthony will submit his report to the supreme court of Missouri. There Standard Oil will make Its last stand; not on the question of guilt, but on the question of penalty. For it has come to that at last. The facts that foi twenty years have baffled America have been laid bare, “Tim men who hold the stock of Stand ard Oil are known. How much stock each of them holds Is known and what merit that holding has In the actual or ganization of the company. It is now only a question of penalty. In this case at least there seems no clear reason why Justice should be tempered with mercy. And the epitaph of the dyiny monster was pronounced In this way last night by1* a certain honest and rugged gentleman who had strayed Into bad company: "Hadley has won this case for Mis souri all right. But the only things that in the end can control and regulate such concerns us Standard Oil are pub licity and national legislation.” Aggregation of “Experts.” New York, March 26.—In the hear ing being conducted by Attorney Gen eral Hadley, of Missouri, here today. Vice President Archbold, of the Stand ard Oil company of New Jersey, was called. Archbold said be was vice president of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey and owns stock in both that company and the Standard OH com pany of Indiana. "John D. Rockefeller is president of the Standard Oil company, but has ta ken no active interest In the business affairs in some years owing to ill health." "Who is the active head of the Standard Oil company?" asked Hadley. "There is no master mind in Stand ard Oil. It is made up of an aggrega tion or Individuals, the Duslness being controlled by men who are experts in their respective departments, and the term committee ns applied to various boards is a misnomer.” H. H. Tolford, Archbold thought, is tlie principal Individual In the domes tic trades board and has been con nected with the Standard Oil company since 1875. Asked concerning the stock of the Waters-Pierce company, now In the name of Mr. Van liuren, Archbold said It was 2,750 shares formerly held in the name of Standard Oil trustees. The dally production of crude oil In the United States is about 350,000 gallons and Standard OH produces about one seventh. The Standard probably sells on the markets about 70 per cent, of the refined product. Wherever there la a Standard refinery in the United States there is a competition refinery in that section. Witness told of the Standard's inter ests in the new fields of Kansas, but said the Standard did not control the oil situation there. -—---■ FOUR MEET DEATH IN NEW YORK FIRE Buried Under Falling Walls—Hundreds of Factory Girls Were Rescued. New York, March 28.—Four firemen perished and about a score of firemen and citizens were injured in a lire fol lowed By a series of explosions that demolished a six-story factory build ing at Bedford and Downing streets, In the Greenwich village district, on tho lower west side of the city. That the damage, which is estimated at from 8300.000 to $400,000, if not far greater, was declared by Chief Croker to be due to the explosion which shatter'd the building and crushed the blaze between tons of debris at the moment when tho liames were completely beyond control j and threatening to sweep the entire 1 block. One fireman was taken out of the building alive, but died almost in stantly.

CHRIST MAN. FIREMAN THOMAS L. HALFIN. FIREMAN J. HEALEY, all of en gine company No. 14. Fireman Juc»b Cohen and Lewis F. Call, also of engine No. 14, were also burned and bruised and removed to the hospital. The other persons injured were for the most part employes of the factory, dwellers in adjacent tenements and per sons passing in the street who were struck by falling bricks or fragments of glass. None of these were seriously hurt. Three hundred men and women were in the factory during the lunch hour when a slight explosion occurred on ne of the upper floors, and almost instantly the whole structure was en veloped in flames. Some had time to ; reach the street by the stairs, but the greater number were compelled to take refuge on the fire escapes, where they remained huddled together and implor ing assistance until the fire engines arrived. Hardly had the flames enveloped the building, which occurred within a few minutes after the outbreak, than a ter rific explosion occurred, followed in rapid succession by four more, the last | of such violence as to shake the build | tngs for blocks around. With the last 1 detonation what remained of the walls ! yell inward, smothering the flames 1 which a' moment before were shooting | 100 feet into the air. In forty-minutes ! after the blaze showed itself all that ! .emained of the huge building was a /lowing heap of shattered floors, walls I and meams. beneath which were buried i the bodies of the four firemen.

C., March 27.—The house interstate commerce committee considered the bill to extend from 28 to 36 hours the time live stock may be kept in transit without food water or unloading for rest. While no action was taken the committee has about reached a compromise. This will leave the law's limit at 28 hours but there will be added a proviso that the In terstate Commerce commission or per- i haps the secretary of agriculture shall have power in his discretion and on a proper showing of necessity to sus pend the law and grant a 36-hour limit for particular schedules.

Members of the band preferred death to sur render. “See this hand?" inquired Scott, ' holding out his right hand, from which two fingers were missing. “Well, I tried to induce the leader of that band, which gave me that wound, to yield to us—tried at least fifty times, but he would listen to no reason. I gave him , every possible assurance of fair, just ' treatment even as I lay in the hospi tal wounded. He returned only de fiant and insulting messages.

When the maker of a medicine, sold through druggists for family use, takes his patients fully into his confidone.o by frankly and fearlessly publishing broadi cist as well as on Its bottle wrappers, a full list of all Its ingredients in plain English, this action on his part Is the best possible evidence that ho t3 not afraid to have the search light of invest tlgatlon turned full upon nis formula and that It will bear the fullest scrutiny and the most thorough investigation.

A glance at the published ingredients on each bottle wrapper, will show that it Is made wholly from native, American, medicinal roots, that it contains no poi sonous or habit-forming drugs, no nar cotics and no alcohol—pure, triple-refined glycerine, of proper strength being used Instead of the commonly employed alco hol, both for extracting and preserving the active medicinal properties found in the roots of the American forest plants employed.
