The province has been wholly pacified since the recent surrender of the insurgent leader, Fullon, and the desire for a provincial form ot government is unanimous. The commission has mailed to Washing- ton detalled recommendations for the form of general civil government to be established in the archipelago. The ex- excutive council is expected to consist of four of the present Commissioners and three Filipinos, the latter to be appointed by President McKinley. Lieutenant Colonel W. 8.

Gates After a Railroad. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., April 13.—The announcement was made here to-day on high authority that John W.

They are said to have bought a large amount of the stock of the company already. o AR Confesses an Embezzlement. ST. LOUIS, April 13.—William H.

He is under arrest. | | | | | SCANDAL OVER CAPITOL WORK W THE FGHT FOR MORE WAGES Montana’s State Building | New JerseyCentral Railroad Said to Be Poorly Con- structed. Architect Donohoe Inspects the Costly Structure at Helena and Makes Charges Against the Con- tractors. s R BUTTE, Mont., April 13.—P. J. Donohoe, the architect who constructed the Carson City prizefight arena and was brought prominently before the California public about four years ago by his expose of the new ferry depot scandal at San Francisco, has turned his hand to iconoclastic work in Montana after a fashion which is likely to cause a pronounced flurry in official circles. Last January certain State officlals sent a communication to the architect at Bill- ings, where he resides, and asked him to | investigate the work on the new Capitol | bullding at Helena, which has been in process of construction since September, 18%8. For more than two months Dono- hoe has watched proceedings, making his last trip to Helena in connection with the affair last Thursday evening, He returned to Butte this morning and immediately prepared a report, emboedying in general terms the result’ of his investigations, which was mailed to the Acting Gov- ernor, Frank G. Higgins, this evening. Many irregularities are pointed out, which will probably call for prompt action on the part of the proper authorities. Donohoe draws attention to the fact that while the original plans and speci- fications should have been filed on Sep- tember 14, 1898, the date the contract was drawn up, no original plans have been filed at all, and even the blue prints in possession of the Montana Capitol Com- mission were not flled until he requested the secretary of the commission to rem- edy what is termed an oversight. It is stated that even as it is, the building is not being constructed according to the blue prints. 3 The building is declared to be weak in its construction and to deviata from the gla.ns and specifications so much that ardly a provision of the contract is in force at the present time. It s asserted that the architects, Bell & Kent, have been extravagant in making estimates for gontractors and attentlon is drawn to the act that while the contract price of the Caplitol Is 328,801, there 15 due. to the cone tractors on completion only $70,425 24, though 40 per cent of the work is yet to be finished. In testing the fireproofing for floors, Donohoe encountered only sand am cement. This work cannot now be rem- edied. Specifications for mixing are rep- resented as not having been comlplled with, the method being in favor of the contractor to the detriment of the con- tract, while the material, he says, has not been spread and tamped, but distributed in a very careless manner. The sewers and soil pipes in the basement were found to be out of place and to lessen the height of the story, as called for in the plans, by reason of the fact that the excavations do not extend below the grade line. In conclusion Architect Donohoe gives it as his opinion that the matter calls for 2 complete and untrammeled investigation at an early date. Governor Toole is at present in the East and it is unlikely that any action in the matter will be taken un- til he returns. MISS MARIE BURROUGHS TO WED A NEW YORKER Robert Barclay MacPherson Will Soon Be the Husband of the Well-Known Actress. NEW YORK, April 13.—Announcement was made to-day of the engagement of Miss Marie Burroughs, the actress, to Robert Barclay MacPherson of New York, The wedding will take place in J d will be followed by & trip abroad. = Miss Burroughs was formerly married to Louis Massen, the actor. She secured a divorce from him in a Western State In 1895, and in 1899, while she was playing with Stewart Robson in “The Gadfly,’” her engagement to Dr. Albert E. Sterne of lndiaine.polls. Ind., was announced. The marriage was to ve taken place here in December, 1899, but just betclPe the date taken seriously ill and Dr. Sterne came to attend her. Shortly afterward it was announced that the wedding had been postponed indefinitely. Later it was re- Eoned that the engagement had been roken off. Miss Burroughs, whose real name is Lil- le Arlington, was born in San Jose. She was educated at the Convent of the Sa- cred Heart in San Francisco.

Threatened Strike Will Not Be Or- dered, but the Telegraphers Will Have to Await a Settlement. £ s A NEW YORK, April 18—It was an- nounced by officials of the Central Ral road of New Jersey to-night that the com- pany had come to an agreement with its engineers and firemen. The conference which brought about this result was held between representatives of employes of the road and General Su- perintendent Olhauson and Division Su- perintendent Wentz. The wages of the engineers and firemen were increased, but the telegraphers and train hands did not fare so well. The telegraphers were told that they will be treated as liberally as their fellow-workers in the employ of other roads and the tramn hands are to have another conference. After the conference 1imothy Shea, re; resentative of the firemen In Jersey City announced that there would be no strike on the Jersey Central road. He sald that had been definitely decided upon. The company had made concessions to the men and had granted to the engineers and fire- men the 100 miles a day limit which they had demanded. Shea said that the de- mands of the telegrabhers had been dropped for the present. The telegraphers were to continue at work at the same rate as hefore until they could bring evidence to convince the com- pany that they were not paid as much as the telegraphers on other roads. This they have so far been unable to do. The de mands of the trainmen, it was further stated, would also remain in abeyance for three months. At that time the ques- tion of their wages might again be cin- sidered by the railroad officials. CUBAN CONVENTION REMAINS ON SAFE SIDE Leaves Platt ‘Amendment in the Air and Decides to Send Commis- sion to Washington. HAVANA, April 15.—At the opening of to-day’s secret session of the constitu- tional convention Senor Nunez asked that the convention either reject or accept. the Platt amendment, as the resolution adopt- ed yesterday was not a formal declaration and was misleading. The conservatives considered that the resolution practically rejected the amendment, while the rad- icals and the radical press maintained that it did not, and Senor Nunez there- fore asked that a yea and nay vote be taken, This was opposed by the radicals, who have always avolded taking a de- cided stand. The conservatives were pleased at the point and as a split was threatened among _the radicals a com- promise was offered and agreed to, by the terms of which a resolution was adopted that the convention should not express itself either for or against the amend- ment and that a commission be sent to ‘Washington to secure the best possible agreement with the President. This com- mission will not be authorized to settle definitely the question of the relations be- tween the United States and Cuba, but will report back to the convention. SR o WRECKING OF CHURCH DONE BY A FACTION Arrests May Be Made as Result of the Explosion of Dynamite in Ingalls. STILLWATER, O. T., April 18.—Arrests are expected to foliow an Investigation now being made Into the wrecking by dynamite of the new Christian church at Ingalls. It is allegcd that the explosive was placed under the structure by mem- bers of a warring faction in the church. No_one was injured in the explosion. The church membership has been split for two years over the introduction of an organ and sectarian literature into the Sunday-school. The older members be- lleved that organ music was not proper for a house of God and fought still stronger the idea of gvlng outside the Bible to teach the children, both of which propositions were favored by the younger members. The younger -faction of the church finally built a church of their own and they lay the destruction of the struct- ure to some of the older members. GENERAL BUTTERFIELD IS DANGEROUSLY ILL NEW YORK, April 13.—General Danfel Butterfield, one of the most distinguished surviving officers of the Civil War, is lying dangerously 11l at his home in this city. He is suffering from a recurrence of the illness which prostrated him in the summer of 1899. General Butterfield has been in Miami, Fla., for about two months, hoping to benefit from the cli- mate. On his return last Sunday he was prostrated and his physician, Dr, Fred- erick A. Castle, found him attacked by paralytic symptoms. Dr. Castle said to-day: “At his age— he is now in his seventieth year—an at- tack of this kind is always alarming and no man can say how it may result.” 2L RBBBE will o '.fi and on or Fiht, Fake our adviees Fuarantce Lo cure or g@%@%%%@&%&&@@@@@@@%%&&&&%%9%%%%@&&30 Buy CASCARETS from the honest dealer. all bowel troubles, dicltls, bas GEARATTED T0 CURESual Coghir SpToptii ronic alimen what ails yeu, money refunded.

Conway writes from Santa Maria | tiat the prospects of the northern end of | Santa Barbara County in the matter of | oil have brightened very much and cap- italists are looking over the ground, hav- ing investment in view. The fact that there is oil has been demonstrated by the | Western Union Company. Although the earthquake of two weeks ago caused the | lower part of this company’'s well to col- lapse, that did not stop the oil from ris- ing over 800 feet in a 5%-inch casing. Two | more rigs are being placed. The Cas- | malia Oil and Development Company has | just set up a heavy standard rig on its | first well that had to be stopped at 850 | feet on account of the boiler giving out. | The Elizabeth Ofl Company is down about | 90 feet and Is in a small seepage. The | Santa Maria Oil and Gas Company is put- | ting in a water plant. The drill is in blue clay. The Commercial Union Compan)‘-i in the Foxen Canyon, i3 iu a bituminized | shale and small seepages, Tne Priumnavera | Company, on the Underhill ranch, after, passing through a #0-foot stratum of oil | sand, has concluded to move its rig one hundred yards east from the first location. | ‘The Graciosa Oil Company, owned by | Crocker, Treadwell, Hariness and others, is just moving its first rig in on the Har- ris ranch. The Jerome Oil Company of | Arizcna i5 erecting a rig in the Shuman | Canyon. John A. H. Bunting has com- pieted his boarding and lodging houses on the Moretti ranch and will have a rig in | operation soon. Two additional rigs will be put up in Foxen Canyon. *“This sec-| tion,” writes Mr. Conway, “is Independent | of rallway rates, for there are half a| dozen landings on the west end of the field upon the Pacific Ocean. The first sale of oll was made this week by the Western Union Company, which is com- posed of Heliman and others of Los An- geles. It is hoped there will be two ad- ditional producing wells by the end of the month. Out of ten companies in the dis- trict, eight have no stock for sale. The pecple of the section are looking for an- other Bakersfield rush without wildcat advertising, that has done so much injus- {ice, to maly prospective ofl fields in the Activity in Shasta County. There is much activity in petroleum claims in Shasta County, according to the Redd!ng Searchlight. It says: Stuart A. Davis sold C. R. Cotter of Duns- muir an eighth interest in the Oilville claim ard an eighth in the Golden Lion claim. C. M. Butler transferred his interest in the Old 56 and Pine View claims to A, G. Boggs. W. A. Schroter sold his eighth of the Oswego to 1.’ Voorsanger of San Francisco. E. A. Mar- rhall deeded an eighth in the Golden Eagle to the same part Moore owned ~ one- eighth interest Oilville and Golden y. R. M. in both the Lion ofl claims. He has deeded them to A. W. Etter. M. F.

Hudson in the Keno and Os- Twelve deeds were filed Tues- day, wherein the land of the foregolng and niuch other was transferred from individual owners to the name of the Atlantic Oil Com- pany. The Mining Review of Salt Lake says it is firmly believed that oil and gas. exist in paying quantities in the vicinity of Green River, Utah. Indications have been found four miles south from the Green River station on the Rio Grande Western lway. Oll comes to the surface over | an area fifteen miles long. Oil shows at | the junction of the Grand and Green rivers. A Pennsylvania expert has ex-! pressed the opinion that ofl can be found | at a depth not exceeding 1500 feet. Pros- pectors have encountered a strong flow of as when drilling shallow wells only fifty ‘eet deep. Seepages of oil are found on the surface in several places. New Companies Organized. The Hollister Bee gives the following in- formation: The Hollister Petroleum De- velopment Company is down 170 feet. The San Juan Company, near San Juan, has begun the construction of a derrick. Non- pareil rig No. 3 has drilled over 300 feet; the drill of the San Benito Company has reached a depth of 1050 feet. Two oil com- anies are organized to work on territory Pelsed from the American Mutual Oil Min- ing Company at Vallecitos. The follow- ing are the names of the officers of three companles that will begin drilling In this county about June 1: Partello Oil Com- pany—Dr. 8. 8. Partello, president; Ed- ward F.

Concerhing the additional facilities that the Southern Pacific Company is provid- ing for the transportation of ofl the Sac- ramento Record-Union says: At the present time they have orders at the shop to build 100 steel tank cars, fifty of which will have @ carrying capacity of 5300 gallons and the other fifty will be of 13,000 gallons capacity, but as the manufacture of these will take a year's steady work they are ohliged to build the wooden tanks to meet present demands. The wooden tanks will have a carrying capacity of 7000 gallons and can be got ready rapidly. The Williams Ofl Company has been in- corg{)!‘ated by the following: J. W. Brim, X. H. Herron, G. W A.
