'Government 'Unearths Immense Shortage in Luzon Gommissionary Department , OFFICERS AND CIVILIANS ARRESTED List Includes a Contractor , Captain nar rows and Blutiy Others Sornmo Sup- lies Located Uacon , Flour , and Other Goods arc' Found. MANILA , April I. 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 commis sary department. How widely these extend has not yet been ascertained , but enough is known to justify the belief that they are far-reaching. Captain Fredeick J. Barrows of the Thirtieth Volunteer infantry , quarter master of the Department of Southern Luzon , together with seven commis sary sergeants , several civilian clerks , a prominent governor contractor , . the assistant manager of the Hotel Ori- ente , the proprietors of three of the largest bakeries in Manila , a number 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 iness approximating $100,000 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 asserted - , 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 back to June , 1900 , and it is possible that there are others of earlier date. The exorbitant tariff on provisions makes the surreptitious removal of supplies immensely profitable. It is understood that other United States officers may be arrested. Lieutenant Philip K. Sweet of the Forty-sixth Volunteer infantry is prosecuting the investigation under tbo direction of Colonel Wilder , chief of police. WASHINGTON , April 1. It was said at both the White House and War department tonight that aboslute- 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 Corbin 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.

Union Stock Yards Cattle Thcro was a jjood. liberal supply ot cattle , which nat urally had a tendency to make buyers a little bearish , as there has been a good run or cattlehurc all this week. The de mand , however , was In fairly good shape and therewere no radical chanpcs in prices. Receipts Included about 43 cars o bet-f steers and the better grades sold1 In just about yesterday's 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 the 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 li"ht. Hogs There was another light run of hogs and the market opened about a nickel higher. The hogs began selling mostly at $3.90 and $5.92'/i. and the heavier grades sold at $ ,19.1 and as high as So.D1- 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 care particularly whether they got anything todav or not. Quotations were : Choice fed wethers. $1.30 < ? z > J.SO ; fair to good wethers. $4. 5fi ( > 1.50 ; choice light weight yearlings , $4.SV5M.95 : fair to > rood yearlings , $ ! .lo@-i.30 ; fair to good ewes , $3.9 < Kc-U3 : choice Iambs. $3.15(55.30 ( ; fair to good lambs. $4.90 3.15 ; feeders ewes. $3.25@ 3.50 : feeder wethers , $3.7501.00 ; feeder lambs , W.SO@-I.CO.
