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.

XKW YORK , Mnrth 2C. The Hernld
prliila n letter from Olhcr II. P. Belmont
In which do calls on the democrats to liar-
monlzo tliclr differences and close up the
lonks for the battle of 1900. Ho says :
Speaking for myself , I nm n rjold man , but
I will unhc'Ftltatlngly support free silver. 16
to 1 , Hlinitld It be made the platform senti
ment of the party In IJiOO. I will give my full
support to nnv candidate whom the con
vention pclocts.
IHowcvi-r. I do not resard the oucstlon of
tice of primary Importance at nnv time.
ill grow steadily less Important between
w and the next election. Koine suKg.s-
TTon of the truth rt thlH can l > o found bv
comparing last fall'H election figures , stnto
by stale , with those of lt > % .
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.

MANILA , Mnrch 27 , 7:10 : n. m. 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.

The Jlelena and the army gunboats

\vhllo the 'Monadnock focussed all Its bat
teries upon Faranaque for two bourn for the
purpose of destroying the military stores
there. 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 ,

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.

native Spanish troops , concentrated there. This northern nrmy will bo
pressed south of city. Three thousand Insurgent troops from southern I i-

Twenty-second and Twenty-third Infantry ,
stretched out along the railroad from Ca

less to prevent the withdrawal , owing to' '
the natural obttack's and to the strong
opposition , A column of smoke at daybreak
was the 11 rut Intimation of tha enemy's
Intentions , but others followed at various J
points , all noon blending In a den no balloon-
shaped cloud. The flumes of tha burning ]
rice mills nnd largo buildings could bo

strong sunlight.
By 11 o'clock In the morning the only
building of Importance not destroyed in
the center of the town was n large stone
church , but even at noon fresh fires were
started among the native huts In the out-
BlUrtH of Malabon , although the general ex-
odufl took place much earllur.

In the meantime General Wbcaton's brigade -
ado held the river to the railroad , but wa
unable either to icpalr the bridge , which
had been destroyed by the enemy , or to
advance , owing to the opposition nnd tha
hills on the other side ,
