Oommiseionary Department OFFICERS AND CIVILIANS ARRESTED List Includes n Contractor Captain Bar rows and Mauy Others Somme Sup licg Located Bucoo Flour and Other Goods arc Found 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 i 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 cf 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 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 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 tha 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 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 WILL ACCEPT SENAT0RSHIP Dcltrich Stamps as False the Assertion That He Will Resign LINCOLN April 1 Relative to the numerous conflicting reports that have been circulated

Quotation from South Omaha and Kansas City 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 were Choice fed wethers fair to good wethers 435r450 choice light weight yearlings
