THE EBLLS DRVEN FAOM ST CRL Continued from First Page. from the church in the town. A halt was made just before dark and the troops bivouacked. In the gray of dawn this morning the advance was continued. The rebels attempted to make a stand and hold the town, but their efforts were fruitless and the troops drove them before them and oc- cupied the place. At sunrise to-day the assault com- menced. The American lines south of the eity stretched two miles inland and with 1ts left sweeping the shore, it moved north, while the Fourth Cav- alrymen on the point to the north ad- vanced toward the city, pouring vol- leys on the trenches. Simultaneously the gunboats hovering along the shore | shelled the woods ahead of the troops, driving the Filipinos inland. The Gat- lings cieared several trenches. The whole brigade was divided into squads of twelve and the fighting was carried on in the old-time frontier fashion from behind trees, crawling through bushes or running across the open. The trenches that were not cleared by the gunboats gave consider- able resistance when the line was near- ing the city and the Laguna de Bai and Oeste bombarded for an hour in the hope of making them too warm for occupancy, but did not succeed in clearing them entirely. General Lawton, with the Fourteenth Infantry Battalion, approached a nar- row iron bridge across a creek on the south border of the town. Here a com- pany of Fillpinos was intrenched across the stream and behind a stone barri- cade at the entrance to the bridge. The Americans rushed forward in sin- gle file in the face of a galling fire, demolished the barricade with their hands and drove the enemy from the trenches, killing a dozen. The Filipino soldiers in the town, se- creted in various buildings and firing from the windows, gave the invaders an interesting hour. There was a réegu- Jar nest of them in the stone jail, which is edged in by a wail. This was a veri- table pepper pod. The Americans, singly or in pairs, entered the houses and many warriors were taken prison- ers. A considerable number of Fili- pinos fled nerthward, crossing the open marshes, but the Gatlings poured upon them a deadly hail until they disap- peared in the woods, slaying dozens. Major Weisenberger deployed the sharpshooters along the shore and they crept steadily forward, aiding the Gat- lings. Finally a large body was sent against the enemy in the woods, driv- ing them toward the mountains. General Lawton established head- quarters at the elegant palace of the Governor, and a guard was immediately placed in the church, as the sacred edi- fices are always the first objective of looters. Within an hour the town was patrolled and all looting rigidly pre- vented. Almost all the inhabitants had fled during the two preceding nightsand oniy a few Chinese shopkeepers have emerged from hiding and resumed busi- ness. On the marshes north of town were found forty dead Filipinos, some terri- bly torn by shells and many others wounded. To the wounded the Ameri- cans offered their canteens as though they were comrades.

One Filipino, at- tempting to make his escape, slashed victously at Major Weisenberger, who shot and killed him. Yesterday the insurgents captured two men of the Fourteenth Infantry, while unarmed, but the Amerlcans them, hid in the trees overnight and re- turned this morning. The gunboats this afternoon have siarched the Santa Cruz River for ship- ping. To-morrow the expedition will push forward, the Americans having de- stroyed miles of telegraph lines, cutting off insurgent communication east and west. Chairman Schurman of the United States Philippine Commission expresses great gratification at the change in the attitude of the Spams& newspaper, Oceania, whose pro-Filipino utterances two months ago nearly caused its sup- pression. The paper now earnestly ad- vises the insurgents to submit to American authority. The good effects of the commission’s proclamation in Manila is noticeable in the increased feeling of confidenee among the people of the city. General Lawton took sev- eral copies of the proclamation for dis- tribution among the natives when he departed on his expedition to Santa Cruz. A company of insurgents advancing along the rallroad attacked an Ameri- can outpost in front of Malolos early this morning, but was repulsed. Two men of the Twentieth Kansas Infantry were wounded.

They decline to divulge the plan of campaign which General Lawton has undertaken, but admit that | it 1s strategically designed to demoral- ize and scatter a large portion of the enemy’s forces menacing Manila and its suburbs. It is suspected that the expedition will sweep rapidly from Santa Cruz around the southern shores of Laguna Bay and flank the insur- gents in Cavite province, hemming them in between two fires. Santa Cruz is only about fifty miles straightaway to the southeast from Cavite and Ma- nila, and, although the intervening country is much like a well-watered Jungle north of Manila, it possesses fair roads, with the distinct advantage that | there are few towns to offer the enemy | strongholds for resisting Lawton's | rapid advance. The tactics in carrying out the second part of the programme, it Is expected, will be those of old-time frontier fight- ing. The command will be divided into squads of twelve men, under non-com- missioned officers, all keeping in close touch. Thus the country can be thoroughly and effectively swept of the Tagallos.

Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, April 10.—“American Im- perfalism” was the subject which George D. Herron took for his lecture this morning before the Christian Citi- zen’s League. He dealt rigorously with the question, and called the Americans a nation of liars. He said because of our betrayal of the Cubans and Fili- pinos our honor was a byword and a thing to sneer at among the peoples of Europe. We could no longer be be- lieved, he said, and In Germany and France the promise of an American was not worth the breath it took to utter it. Central Music Hall was filled with admirers of Herron's sentiments, and the heartiest applause greeted his de- nunciation of the nation’s present course. “A few months ago,” he sald, “this nation had the chance of the age; a chance to initiate a new kind of inter- national politics and diplomacy. 1 Messiah among the nations, but its course has been only one of betrayal and falsehood. The nation has chosen darkness when glowing light comes from its political traditions. “War came. Every appeal to arms in the history of the world has brought a new tyrant, and the Spanish-Ameri- can conflict was no exception. War came. In opera bouffe and spectacular language we called it ‘war for hu- manity.” We stood pledged to disin- terestedness, pledged to simply free a burdened people. What is the resuit? ‘We stand before the nations of the world as perjurers, as a people whose word cannot be trusted in anything. In Europe American honor is a scan- dal; it is a thing to sneer at. In Ger- many and France an American’s word will not be accepted jn anything, and we deserve the shame. “The war has been simply a dress rehearsal of the tragedy of greed that is apparent in every industrial center in America. It was a war of money changers, and this administration’s promises will never be kept. This ad- it never intended to. Its whole object is to stir up civil strife in the island, that it may have an excuse for annexa- tion. “Let us consider the Philippines. We found the people almost on the verge of victory. We invited their exiled patriots to return and conjured them in helping us whip Spain. It has been argued that the Filipinos are unfit to | govern themselves. Why, In the Fill-| pinos we found a people far better | qualified to master the intricacles of | self-government than were our fore- | fathers when they fought England for liberty. “The Filipinos had the beginning of a worthy national life, yet we have murdered them by wholesale.

We have shamefully treated their envo Our commission scorned them i{n Paris, and the Filipino representative had to flee practically for his life from Washing- ton.

Casimir-Perier answered that happily the document was not regarded as important and that neither he nor the Government desired to implicate the German embassy in the affair; that noth- ing had been proved to show that the em- bassy solicited the document and the Government did not wish to hold the em- bassy or themselves responsible for pa- pers thus conveyed. It was sufficient—the | papers having been found at a foreign | embassy and presumably emanating from h officer—to fix the gulit of that officer. | “As Count von Munster insisted on ob- taining a note categorically exculpating ithe Embassy,” continued’ M. Casimir- Perfer, “I suggested that it would be unnecessary to indicate the Germany Em- bassy alone, but that all the embassies | and legations in Paris should be included as each might remain under suspicion if the German alone were exculpated. Buch a note, I sald, it was the province of the president of the council to issue and I} suggested that Jt need not differ from similar notes previously issued. On the Embassador’s request I appointed another interview with the president of the coun- cil, but a few days later Count von Mun- ster informed me that the incident might be regarded as closed.” M. Casimir-Perier, continuing, said he had only heard of a single secret docu- | ment, the one containing the expression, | “Cette canaille de D— deviont rooloment | trop exigeante” (that beast of a D— is| really becoming very exacting). General | Mercier informed him some days before | Dreyfus was condemned (December 23, | 1894,) that this document was submitted to the court-martial, but he (M. Casimir- Perier) did not understand that the docu- ment was only submitted to the judges. | Reverting to_his interview with Count von Munster, M. Casimir-Perier said he | desired to place It upon record that an act of treason had not placed a fereign power in possession of jmportant doe- uments affecting the national security. Some after Dreyfus was con- days demned geneml Mercjer spoke to him oncerning confessions by Dreyfus, but %e could not ‘;ememher that Captain Le- run Renaud ever came to the Elysee Palace to inform him of these avowals. The confessions having been published, Captain Lebrun Renaud was sent to the Elysee to be reprimanded. He did not deny his indiscretions to the press, but sald nothing about any confessions to M. Casimir-Perier. The latter concluded by asserting that he knew no other facts and had no knowl- edge of any letters from Emperor Wil- llam. He declared that he had never heard them alluded to except in M. Pas- chal Grousset's Interpellation. M. Laroche, former Resident General in led for the de- Madagascar, who was ¢ n Fraey-Staet- fense, testified that Capt: ter, a member of the court martial, told him Dreyfus was convicted for giving out plans of the fortress of Nice.

There was an immense array of legal talent on either side. Attorney Wil- liam Cannon, in his opening statement to the jury, gave for the first time the facts regarding the note which is al- leged by the defense to be a forgery. He declared the paper was executed by William Murdock in settlement of money due the decedent’s brother, Samuel. The latter requested that the note be made out in favor of his daugh- ter-in-law, to become due at about the time his grandchildren became of age. This was done and Refore the note be- came due and was presented William Murdock died. Mr. Cannon said the note bore date of September 5, 1877, and was for $100,- 000, payable twenty years after date, with interest at 1 per cent a month. He told of Willlam Murdock coming to this section in early days; how he raised cattle and sheep and acquired land. He had a cousin, Samuel Mur- dock, who had a son, Gawn W. Mur- dock, husband of the plaintiff. Mr. and Mrs. Gawn Murdock had two sons, Stanley and Edwin. Explaining the consideration for which the note was given Attorney Cannon went back to the time of 1861-62. Samuel Murdock was ralsing sheep. He loaned William $4000. After this and up to 1877 he loaned William other large sums of money, as there was a big profit in wool and sheep and these profits were placed in William’s hands. Gawn went into partnership with his father and ob- jected to turning over the earnings to Willlam. A bitter feeling sprang up between Gawn and his father on this account. In 1876 the partnership was dissolved. A settlement was effected in 1876, by which Gawn agreed to pay to his father $15,000 for his interest. This amount was turned over to Wil- liam by Samuel. Between 1876 and 1877, when the note in controversy is alleged to have been made, the feeling between father and son beecame so bit- ter that Samuel left the house of Gawn and stayed with his cousin, William, for two months. During this stay Wil- llam told Samuel that Gawn had not made a just settlement with him. Gawn was threatened with a lawsuit, and to avoid It pald his father $20,000 in cash and notes. This was a short time prior to the execution of the $100,000 note by Willlam Murdock to Gawn Murdock’s wife. Samuel had returned to Gawn'’s house in the meanwhile, Mary Helen Mur- dock’s relations with her father-in-law were always friendly and the affec- tions of Willlam Murdock seemed cen- 1899.

Finally there was a settlement between Willlam and Samuel. They met at GaWwn's house and Mrs. Murdock was present when, in the settlement, the balance was struck at $100,000. At Samuel's request the note was made payable to Mrs. Murdock, but was to be for the benefit of the two, grandsons, Edwin and Stan- ley. The note was made payable twen- ty years after date, so as to fall due about the time the boys became of age. As to the interest rate Attorney Can- non said the-usual rates in those days were from 13 to 114 per cent a month and the rate given in the note really was lower than usual. Subsequently, and up to the time of Willlam Mur- dock’s death, Mr. Cannon said, it would be proved beyond dispute that William adrnitted at various times the execu- tion of the note and the facts as to the consideration. The attorney sald he would show that Mrs. Murdock, the payee, took the note and that it was buried on the premises. The note was wrapped or rolled around a pencil, then placed in a vial, corked and sealed; then placed in a larger bottle and corked and then in another bottle, also corked. This bottle was placed in a tin can, which was topped with a saucer, and buried. It remained buried for ten or eleven years—until 1887 or 1888. Attorney Can- non said he would prove that one of the executors, before the existence of the note was made public. acknowledged that he knew of it and that, if Murdock had lived one week longer the note would have been compromised. Said Mr. Cannon: “The issue in this case is clearly drawn. On the one hand the jury will be called upon to say whether it ac- cepts the sworn testimony of the peo- ple whose reputation for truth, honesty | and integrity is beyond reproach; the testimony of witnesses who will give facts which came under their own ob- servation; or whether the jury will ac- cept the opinions, inferences and de- ductions of experts who do not testify as to facts, and who are hired by the defense in this case to come into court and swear this note out of court and swear the charge of forgery upon the plaintiff in this action at so much per swear.” Gawn Murdock, husband of the plaintiff, was the first witness called. He told of the business transactions between his father and William Mur- dock. He identified the note as the one signed by Willlam Murdock in 1877. Grove L. Johnson, for the plaintiff, asked that the note be introduced in evidence, This was objected to by General Barnes, on behalf of the de- fendants, on the ground that the note could not be introduced, as the claim never had been properly presented to the executors. The argument on this question will take place to-morrow, the jury having been excused until 2 o'clock. If the defendants’ point is good the case ends. Plaintiff's attor- neys, however, contend that it certainly will be knecked out. TRIAL OF QUAY 1S COMMENCED Jury Chosen in the Con- spiracy Case. Speclal Dispatch te The Call. PHILADBLyHIA, April 10.—Ex-Sen- ator M. S. Quay and his son, Richard R. Quay, were called to the bar of the Court of Quarter Sessions to-day, and after many months of vexatious delay the .trial of the two defendants was | begun. There was an entire absence of any crowd either outside or in the court- room. Special cards of admission per- mitting only those directly interested in the case, witnesses, jurors and news- paper men, had been issued by the Dis- trict Attorney and counsel for the de- fense. Even members of the bar who were not in the case were denied ad- misglon. As a result of these arrange- ments the courtroom was but little more than half filled and the greater portion of those present were witnesses. Judge Biddle, one of the oldest and most respected members on the bench, was the trial judge. District Attorney Rothermel, after two hours had been spent in selecting a jury, elected to try ex-Senator Quay first on that one this appeared to him impossible, addin, that t.ge embassy ceru.lnry had recelvi cock was the principal witness for the prosecution. < . ‘of the five indictments (in which he and his son are varlously named) which charges Mr. Quay and the late ex- State Treasurer Benjamin J. Haywood with conspiracy in using the State funds for their personal benefit and profit and in a manner unauthorized by law. This action practically leaves the ex-Senator alone on trial. Beyond the selection of a jury and the examination of one witness, Thomas H. Barlow, receiver of the Peoples Bank, nothing was done to- day, The jury was secured after thirty- five talesmen had been examined, four- teen of whom were stood aside by the District Attorney, one excused and one challenged for cause. The latter was Talcott Williams, one of the editors of the Press of this city, which is opposed politically to Quay. The defense then exhausted its priv- flege of four peremptory challenges and the commonwealth took advantage of but three of the challenges. The only witness examined to-day, Mr. Barlow, led to the first clash be- tween counsel and apparently indi- cated that a determined legal battle, replete with knotty points of law, will be fought in the trial of the case. The District Attorney called Mr. Barlow to identify books and papers found by him when he assumed the receivership. Mr. Shapleigh of counsel for the de- fense, undertook to crosk-examine the witness with respect to his knowledge of whether certain books, which the defense, it is understood, claims are missing, are included In those testified to by the witness. This was objected to and after re- peated consultations among the coun- sel for the defense and several other efforts to obtain an answer to the ques- tion in another form it was abandoned, and Mr. Shapleigh said he would begin his cross-examination in the morning.

NEW YORK, April 10.—Only two witnesses of any importance were put on the stand before the Mazet legisla- tive investigating committee to-day, and though the investigation continued for a number of hours into the after- noon no particularly convicting evi- dence was brought out. The investi- gating committee adjourned its session until next Friday, when the chief wit- ness will be Richard Croker. Frank Croker, son of Richard Croker, was on the stand all morning. He tes- tified that he had paid $17,000 to enter the Roebling Fire Proof Company, and was drawing a salary of $2500 from it to “learn the business.”” Young Croker first said he had given for his 170 shares of stock a check for the amount men- | tioned, but when asked if he would produce the canceled check he grace- fully worked into an admission that the stock was paid for in cash furnished by his father. He said he had got the money in big bills from his home and kept it in his room all night. He told of being presented with $6000 worth of stock in the United Company, ‘be- cause,” he sald, “they knew we had lots ‘of friends in railroads and such places.” Chief of Police Willlam 8. Devery was again: put upon the rack after Frank Croker had given his testimony. Much of the questioning of the police | captain was similar to that of Satur- | day when he was asked to explain the existence of many disorderly resorts in the city that flourished at all hours of the night. Devery said that the police | department had done all it could do, | with the evidence that it had before it. to close such places. Devery denied | that he knew of any high official of | the city who was interested in pool- | rooms. | W. P. Tostevin was called as the first witness. He made some comparatively un- fmportant corrections in his testimony of | Saturday. He admitted that he had no| personal knowledge of money having been accepted by any one connected with the | building department. Thomas Walker, a builder under indic ment for violation of the building law testified that he had been approached by | | a_man who offered to procure dismissal | | of the indictment, but Walker refused to | give his name. Chief of Police Devery ed. He told Mr. Mazet that he took ex- was then rer‘all-“ | brought up by Mr. Moss on Saturday be- ing admitted in evidence. Mr. Mazet noted his exception. Then Devery ad- dressed the committee: “I ask the protection of this committee that Mr. Moss confine himself question touching my administration as Chief of Police,” said the Chief. here and stand ready to make an open breast as to any question he may ask me touching on the subject of the welfare of the property-owner or as to any question touching my administration since I have | been Chief ot Police. I think his object in entering into these matters in this case {s to go behind the stay of the court he | is an officer of, the Supreme Court, and his object is entirely foreign to this in- quiry.” The Chief hedged in his answers numerous questions. Again and again M | Moss tried to get at the old charges when | Devery was a police captain, and again and again Devery ‘‘did not remember. I don't remember now, I don’t remem- ber, T can’t remember,” he reiterated. “The records of the police headquarters and the records of the court wall show all this.” A long series of questions with hopeless Iy Indefinite answers from Devery, fol- lowed. At last Mr. Moss got this one out of him: 4 “I never have demanded or received any money or valuable thing for doing or refraining from doing my duty, or any part of my official duty, and I have never received a dishonest dollar or demanded one in my life.
