FRAUD IS EVIDENT Thievery Is Charged inCommis sary Department of Army. A HEW SENSATION AT CITY OF MANILA I'lot Farreachlng and Many Arrest Mad rroinlnnil Oflli e rs A cused of Lead ing Scandalous mid Immoral IJtes Oilier Important rwi, Interest In the capture and fate of , Agulnaldo Is well nigh overshadowed at Manila by sensational developments, present and prospective, of frauds In the commissary department. How widely these extend has not yet been ascertained, but enough Is'alieady known to justify the belief that they are far-reaching. Captain Ficdorlok .1 Huriowsnf the Thirtieth volunteers, (uartermaster of the department of southern Luzon, together with seven commissary ser geants, several civilian oleiks.ii proml- T nent government contractor, the as sistant manager of the Hotel Orientc, the proprietors of three of the largest bakeries, a number of stockholders and other persons have been nriested. The Investigation hasscarccly bejrun, but thousands of sucks of Hour, a quan tity of bacon and wagon loads of other goods, all bearing government marks, have been found in the possession of unauthorised persons. It is alleged that the contractor In question, who 1ms been doing a business approximat ing $100,000 per month, has spent huge sums in entertaining oil leers. A prominent commissary otHcer is ac- cubed of leading a scandalous and im moral life. It is asset ted that a lingo quantity of .stoics hao been lost or stolen in transit and also that there Is u shortage in the eommlssary depot. New scandals are developed daily. Illicit transactions have been traced back to June, 1000, and It Is possible that there are otheis of earlier date. The exorbitant tariff on piovlsions makes the sale of commissary supplies immensely prolitable. It Is understood that other oflieors may be arrested. Lieut. !' K. Sweet of the Forty-sixth volunteers Is prose cuting the investigation, under the direction of Colonel Wilder. Agulnaldo continues to express him Bolf as pleased with and impressed by the courteous treatment accorded him by General MucArthur. "I am a prls oner," said he, "but 1 am tieut cdllku a guest."
