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
<o open the side doors of the car. but
without avail. A son of P. S. McGuire,
fought his way through the flames to
end of the door and escaped, seriously
injured. He gave the alarm and the
car was cut out of the train.
Efforts of the train crew to extin
guish the flames were unavailing. Gre:«t
difficulty was experienced in opening
the car doors and when the bodies were
ilnally taken out they were burned al
most beyond recognition.
The dead are:
P. S. McGuire and E. M. Vanhorsem.
The bodies and the injured boy were
brought to this city.

Chicago, March 2S.—August Auer
bach, who sued’ the American Baseball
league for $26,000 damages for injuries
received by being hit by a batted ball,

Chicago teams were practicing, previ
ous to the game. Wyatt Lee, of the
Washington team, batted a long tly,
which hit Auerbach in the head.
Auerbach claims he has been a phys

tended that Auerbach should have been

BLAMES THE WOMAN.
Prominent Lawyer Claims That Wives
Cause Fully 80 Per Cent, of
the Separations.
Philadelphia. Pa.. March 28.—Divorce
its evils and its effects, were consid
ered by the social science section
of the New Century club. As an au
thority on divorce by virtue of ills hav
ing boon chairman of the recent na
tional congress in Washington, Walter
George Smith, the lawyer, was invited
to instruct tlje women of the club on
this subject, and did so.
He startled them by asserting that
80 per cent, of the 60,000 divorces
granted last year in the United States
were initiated by women.
"The divorce evil does not so much
need remedial legislation as good, pure,
sensible women, who will realize that
In marriage the guiding star should b«
duty and not selfishness," he said.
Air. Smith began his address by quot
ing from an English author, who said:
“Surely the divorce laws of the
United States would not bo as lax as
they are how if the influence of wom
en were against them. It is a melan
choly reflection that divorce has grown
as women have been given the indi
vidual rights of property and of legal
recognition that seem their natural
heritage."
Emancipation Is Dangerous.
Mr. Smith continued: "If modern
social evolution, in giving to woman
the right of property and a recognition
of her individual dignity, is to result
in the destruction of the family and
the lowering of the moral tone of so
ciety to the plane of the Roman em
pire, we shall be paying dearly for her
emancipation, and she shall have lost
far more than she will have gained.
"All the legislative expedients that
may be adopted will serve only as a
check upon this growing evil until the
women themselves seek to abolish it.
"There are 3,000 tribunals in the
United States where the complaints of
mismated husbands and wives may be
heard. The divorce rate has increased
in a year three times as fast as the |
population.
"It does not seem Utopian to believe
that a uniform statute will be agreed
upon eventually by all the states,” he
concluded. "There will likely be a fall
ing off in the number of divorces when
it becomes operative. It will bring fair
trials, elimination of migratory di
vorces, prevention of hasty marriages,
and will do away with fraud. The evil
itself, however, will never be eradicated
until the hearts of the people are
turned back to a higher conception of
the meaning of matrimony."
WRECK KILLS NINE.
I Caboose Full of Men in a Washout Is
Crushed by a Big Steel
Machine.
Casper, Wyo., March 28.—An accom
modation train on the Chicago and
Northwestern railway's new branch
ran into a washout on the prairie
twenty-six miles west of here this
morning.
Nine persons were killed and thir
teen injured.
Most of the killed were in the ca
boose, which was at the rear of the
train. Back of the caboose was a pon
derous steel water tank car. The ca
boose sank deep into the mud and the
tank plunged into the caboose and
crushed it like an egg shell, catching
the people in a trap.
At about the same time this accident
occurred the middle span of the big
railroad bridge across the Platte river
near this city went out, as the result
of the floods and it became impossible
to send trains to the scene. Superin
tendent Cantillion and three physicians
crossed the river by the wagon bridge
and secured a handcar and started for
the scene.
A severe snowstorm came up after
they had gone six miles and the hand
car was blocked. The physicians then
drove to the wreck.
Most of the persons killed and in
jured were workmen on the way to the
grading camps.
STILL TRUE TO GIRL WIFE
Father Gapon Answers His Detractors
and Will Sue Them for
Damages.
St. Petersburg, March 26.—Father Ga
pon In a frank open letter today re
plies to the attacks on his public and
private life, and announces he has in
structed his lawyers to bring an action
'for defamation of character against his
detractors. He denies the charge of be
traying and abandoning a girl while
he was a prison chaplain.
Gapon explains that, refusing to fol
low the rule of the orthodox church
prohibiting the remarriage of priests
which he declares drives the clergy to
secret Immorality, he took to his bosom
as his wife a girl whom he loved and
that she is still living with him.
KILEY SKIDOOS WITH
HIS LEGAL WIFE
Millionaire Bigamist Gets Away from
Law Which Interferes With His
“Private Affairs ”
New York, March 27.—Thomas W. Kiley,
the missing millionaire banker and self
confessed bigamist of Brooklyn, will live
abroad with his legal wife, who Is the wid
ow of his late brother. He has effected a
complete reconciliation with the distinct
understanding that he forever abandon
Mrs. Brown-Tousey-Colt-Kiley, the much
married woman to whom he was wedded
three years ago at Hammond, Ind.
Mr. Kiley Is now believed by the police
to have already sailed for Europe and
to have taken with him drafts for over
$100,000. His legal wife is to meet him
abroad and they will there spend the re
mainder of their lives in ease and afflu
ence.
Coincident with the disappearance of
Kiley Is the absence of Mrs. Colt-Klley
from her handsome residence on Brooklyn
avenue. It was impossible to secure an
entrance into her home yesterday and
neighbors stated that Mrs. Colt-Kiley had
left the city for a secluded retreat until
the scandal with the revelations regarding
Kiley’s marital troubles had blown over.
The flight of Kiley and the apparent in
disposition of the Indiana authorities to
proceed against, the millionaire bigamist
now makes it certain that no criminal pro
ceedings will be instituted against him.
DEATH WELCOMED.
Awful Cruelties Russian Girl Was Sub
jected To Told by Her.
Moscow, March 2S.—M. Teslinskd,
counsel for Mile. Spirldonovo, the 17
year-old girl who shot M. Luzhenoffsky,
chief of the secret police at Tamboff.
has returned here from Tamboff, where
his client was found guilty of the
charge brought against her. He de
clares that the tortures of the Spanish
inquisition were tame when compared
with the cruelty Mile. Spirldonovo has
been subjected to. He gives a thrilling
account of her proud and spirited
speech to the judges who condemned
her, telling them that the victory of
the oppressors of the people would be
short lived and saying: “You can kill
■ me, but death will be welcomed after
I what I have suffered.”

Whipped Into Submission, the
Great Trust Lets Hadley
Dictate Terms.

A FAR REACHING VICTORY
! Rogers and Counsel Make Admissions
Which Would Permit State of Mis
souri to Confiscate Stand
ard’s Property There.
,
New York, March 28.—John T>.
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. The bodies of his three com
rades were recovered after the fire was
over, crushed under the wreckage of
floors and walls that followed thg ex
plosion.
The dead:
FOREMAN JOHN WALSH.
FIREMAN GEORGE C. 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.

So It Became Necessary for United

Obstreperous Moros.
Washington, March 26.—Culber
son m resolution in the senate calling
upon the war department for fur
ther information relative to the
Mount Dajo battle was adopted
without discussion.
Washington, March 27.—Major H. L.
Scott, military governor of the Sulu is
lands of the Philippines group has
talked to the president about the situa
tion in the Philippines. Referring to
tiu recent fight ut Mount Dajo Scott
said:
“The chief of the band which prac
tically was wiped out in Mount. Dajo
fight is entirely friendly to the United
States, tie has endeavored to prevent
this particular band from continuing
Its warfare against our government, but
1 his efforts were of no avail. 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. It be
came necessary finally to hunt him and
i his band down and give them battle.
"This fanatical leader of a fanatl
cal band—Danglimehassam by name—
was killed In the battle of Mount Dajo. I
doubt not that the situation in the is
lands will be Improved greatly by the
result of that fight, regrettable on many
| accounts as It may be.

OPEN PUBLICITY THE BEST
GUHRXNTY OF MERIT.
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.
Dr. Pierce's Favorlto Prescription forth®
cure of the weaknesses, periodical pains
and functional derangements of the or
gans distinctly feminino, is tho only modi*
cine put up for sale through druggists for
woman’s special use, the maker of which
Is not afraid to take his patients into
his full confidence by such open and
honest publicity.
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. It is the only medicine for
women’s pecular diseases, sold by drug
gists, that docs not contain a largo per
centage of alcohol, which is in the long
run so harmful to woraan’s delicate, nerv
ous system. Now, glycerine Is perfectly
harmless, and serves a valuable purposo
by possessing intrinsic value all its own,
and besides ft enhances the curativG
effect of the other Ingredients entering
Into the "Favorlto Prescription.”
Some of the ablest medical writers and
teachers endorse these viows and praise
all tho several Ingredients of which "Fa
vorite Prescription” Is composod — rec
ommending them for the cure of tho
vory same diseases for which this world
famed medicine is advised. No other
medicine for women has any such pro
fessional endorsement—worth more than
any numbor of ordinary testimonials. If
interested, send name and address to Dr.
R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., for his little
book of extracts from the works of
eminent medical writers and teachers,
endorsing the several Ingredients and
telling just what Dr. Pierce’s medicines
are made of. It’s free for the asking.
