BOWLING GREEN , 0. , iMarch 20. The Biirrondcr this morning of Paul and John Eoltncr , tlio murderers of Lawyer Western- liaven who , for eighteen hours ilctllhil ar- rc t nt their homo at Hoyt's Corners , has Ijccn attended by an almost complete aub- sldenco ot the excitement. After hr.vlng been threatened with being dynamited out of their barricaded house , of being burned out nnd ot being shelled out by a six-pounder cannon , ilho murderers sur rendered to Sheriff Kingsbury this morning on Boeing the military present , fully armed. Lieutenant Bryant with Company II , second Infantry , marched , Wio prisoners across the country to Custnr , wlioro they boarded a train for Bowling Green. They are now In jail. Pcacca.blo methods finally prevailed , although f though It Is doubtful If the capture would liavc been effected except for the fact that the Zultners were nearly out of ammunition and they know surrender was the only method of saving themselves from an Infuriated moT ) . The mllltla had planned to make a stand about daylight and strict picket duty < \\aa maintained liy the Bloomdalo rifles all night , the men 'being ' stationed around the house to prevent the Zcltnors from picking the men pff. Several narrow escapes from bullets happened during the evening , for the Heltners , being German sharpshooters , wore picking out and shooting at every ono venturing within GOO ynrda. Were Hearty for IJOIIK Sleuc. At 5:30 : this morning ex-Sheriff Rlffgs , ac companied by a neighbor named Brown , started toward tlho house. The Zcltnors of fered no resistance to their approach nnd they wcro admitted to tlie house. Mr. Rlgga plainly told them that the militia was ready to make , un attack on the house and that they would too compelled to surrender , and they had better give up peaceably. The .ZoUnora eeomed not disposed at first to glvo up and .stated , that they feared the mob , 200 ot which remained outsldo the xnlUtiavlluo.- /nicf-tripd" to Induce . .Mr. Rlgga to accompany them through the tlm- lior , but ho refused and they were told they would not be 'molested If they gave up their arms and accompanied him to jail. After a Iinlf hour's talk they agreed. The Zellners gavi up their arms. They had two good Mnrlln repeaters and n trace of Smith & Wesson revolvers and ammunition to burn. They might have held the otllcera off for-an Indefinite period. There were suvpnty-flvo rounds of rlllo nm munition and two iboxea of revolver car tridges left In the houso. The men wore taken from the 'houso ' and conveyed to the tinln , nnd under the protection of the mllltlix they were taken to the Bowling Green Jail without molrslatlon. A thousand people mut the train , but there was no demon stration. The prisoners said that they regretted the death nf Clarence Wotten- meyer , who was killed during the nttnck on the house. Tlio older brother , Paul , said : "I am glad I killed him" ( meaning Westen haver ) , 'whllo ' the younger brother , John , re fused to say anything on the subject. Story of IlloodjV.eltner Affair. Developments since the capture today of John and Paul Keltnor Indicate that they not only deliberated over the bloody defiance of law , but also prepared for It , by haying a large stock of ammunition In their "rest- donee , two mile's ' from Hoyt's Corners , 13. II. Westenhaver , ox-solicitor of North Baltimore , had been defending them In nu merous cases and had sued for fees. Wit nesses had been called for the trial yester day In Westenhaver's suit to recover fees. Paul Zoltnor demanded some papers from Westunhaver and attempted to take them from his pocket. The other brother then Joined In demanding the papers nnd im mediately flrcd the fatal shot that killed Wostnnhaver. As thp SColtners had their horses ready for mounting and escape , It Is thought that they hud arranged to get Westenhaver Into a light for the purpose of "doing" him , al- thought they did not give the victim tlmo to make any demonstrations toward them. The Zoltnurs kept up their firing till they amnmted their horses and continued it as hundreds of citizens pursued them for two uillos to their residence. After they reached their house they kept up constant firing the rest of thu day nnd during last night. They not only wont to the trial fully armed , but they had ammunition at homo for continued fusllades , Whllo the feeling Is Intense around North Baltimore on account of the murder of Westenhaver , It Is equally Intense around Hoyt's Corners nnd on account of the killing of their neighbor. Clarence Wcttenmeyi-r , who was with the tihlrlff's posse last night , Whop Wcttonnioyer fell volley after volley van poured Into thu crowd from the upper j story at thu Xeltncr house and the Keltnors know that they were tiring on their neigh bors , as well as on the sheriff and his depu ties. Before tha arrival of troops , during the night , a cannon used In shooting oil tanks when they are on flro and n quantity of nitio-glycerliie had been secured , so ° that tliere. would have been trouble after sun rise If troops bad not arrived. Thu Zeltner brothers and their families wcro no doubt saved by the prompt arrival of His troops under the orders of Governor Bushnell. The troops stopped the firing from the housu and the enraged crowds and not only captured the desperadoes , but also protected them from violence all the way from the southern boundary of this county nnd to the Jail , u distance of o\er twenty miles , with excitement at the highest pilch nil alone the route. The connection with the participation ot the two women and four children In the Zeltner barricaded house , It Is Htpted , as further proof of deliberation that tlfu Zolt- ncra transferred their farms nnd other prop erty ou Friday to Mrs , John Koltner , I'lelelierV Heinulax TiiUeii Home.

It Is not to be denied that general Inter est In finance , as a question , Is falling away. There Ii no such general stiong silver de mand ns there was three years ago. That , no doubt , Is due to n condition ot better gen eral business nnd easier times. For myself , however , 1 say again I do not fear silver. We have had silver coinage before and succeeded , Hist as wo hnvo had a single gold standard now nnd succeed. Wo will not meet wreck It wo have sliver nny more than ruin IB to overtake us under the single gold standard. The truslB form the giant evil. Imminent nnd threatening. In our nffalrs. There Is no time or room for details here. Hut the mon ster combinations of monev called trusts whose methods contemplate the bribery ot congrcBBca nnd legislatures and oven the control ot courts must bo destroyed. To this \\o should have an Income tax and an Inheritance tax. We should have public ! ownership ot all these franchises , which are I' now In the hands of the great railroad , bridge and electrical companies and other combinations of kindred tort. Above all. wo Hhould have the Initiative and referen dum , anil so put It within the actual power of the people at the polls to propose or pass a law , or , 1C needs be , to repeal a law In1 spite of any action by venial or corrupt congresses or legislatures. We should attack government by Injunc tion nnd the national bank system. Wo should be for the election of Hcuators and the United States Judges y the people. Wo should bo to increase the navy and against increase In the nrmy. We should bo for economy and for the cutting down of ex penses. We should be against expansion nnd the seeing of the Philippine Islands beyond , such , harbors or Islands as are necessary for naval stations. If we were to KO In for all these matters and add to them an attack on thu opposi tion for Its rotten record , for Its roguery of embalmed beef , for Its steals of contracts , there would bo no doubt of democratic suc cess.

The Americana ihnvc advanced along the line of Mio ( Dagupan railroad , driving the Filipinos from ' Mallnta nnd Nowcanayan , where there were 3,000 Inhabitants. Last night the brigades of General Harrison risen Gray Otis and General' Hnlc en camped In the enemy's trenches at Ncwcan- aynn , and that of General Wheaton at Mal lnta. General Wlicaton's brigade formed n Junction with the remainder of General Mac- Arthur's division at Mallnta. nnd the latter , leaving General Wheaton there , marched along the railroad to Newcanaynn. This place was fortified nnd for 300 yards from It there wore trenches on each side of the track. Thrse wore taken possession of by the American troops. The movement of the Americans wllj bo pushed In this direc tion. tion.Tho The Filipinos , realizing that the railroad la the crucial line , have constructed row after row of trenches , running diagonally on 'both sides of the track at a distance of a few hundred yards apart. This work was designed most Intelligently nnd has evi dently been done under the direction of ex perts. It represents an enormous amount of labor. Most of the rebel positions are portccted by thick earthworks , n majority of ' them topped with stones and provided with loopholes. Some ha > e sheet Iron roofs. The day's work of the United States troops consisted of storming the successive trenches. The Filipinos occupying them were completely hidden nnd the enemy poured a strong flro from every trench until they were dlstunbed by n flanking volley , when they would disappear Into the woods and jungle , only to make a stand at the next line. line.Tho The American loss -was remarkably small , seven being reported killed nnd twenty-five wounded. It Is known that the Filipinos were so protected that they suffered little. No dead Insurgents were In the trenches. Forty prisoners were taken by the Amer icans nnd it Is estimated that the rebel casualties numbered twenty. The Insurgents broke their guns when they were compelled to abandon them.

A great smoke was caused , but as the. Insurgents are in possession of the town the results of the ehelllng arc not ob tainable. The evacuation of MaTalxm was a plct- urcjfjuo rout , thousands of men , women and children , loaded down with household goods , BOMB wlth.'Jv'lr dearest treasures -JlsMlng cocks uhdeY their arras poured across tlio srvajmpa In the early morning. An exploded caisson at the railroad bridge proved a bar to the Americans. Ten soldiers of the Oregon' regiment , while searching for two. of those killed earlier in the fighting , sneaked into the city in the morning nnd found the place In n condition of chaos. The Inhabitants , seeing them , fled In a panic , thinking the American forces were in possession. The Oregonians shot several nrined natives and then returned to camp. The American forces did not occupy Jlala- bon , but arc concentrating their strength to strike Malolos. Malabon Is a city of dcso- Intian. The American soldiers have been forbidden to enter the place , for fear that the natives may still be lurking there.
