TROOPS ATTACK CAILLES" CAMP Luzon Dictator Barely Escapes Capture by Americans. — MANILA, April 28.—Captain Wilson Chase, with a detachment of the Twen- tieth Infantry, on April 26 surprised the camp of the insurgent General Cailles at Dugot-Dugot, situated nine miles north- east of Cavinti, in the province of La- guna. Callles was at his camp at the time of the American attack, but managed to escape. Captain Chase's forces captured his adjutant general, five of his other staff officers, fifteen men, twenty rifles, a large amount of ammunition and stores and all | the papers and personal effects of the | Filipino general. The insurgent Major | Valo was killed during the engagement, | as were Corporal McGill and Private | Tipps, both belonging to Company A of the Tw. y-first.

He is said to be a French half-cas He has a reputation for vin- and cruelty, and is one of the two or three Filipino leaders still in the field who have clearly ignored the ob- servances of honorable warfare. The So- clety of Mando-Ducats, whose practice it was to assassinate and bury alive those of their countrymen who accepted Amer- ican sovereignty whenever the latter fell into their hands, operated with the cogni- zance, if not the support, of General Cailles. If Cailles were captured it is doubtful If he could claim immunity for uas: actions under the terms of the am- nestw. In January of this year Cailles offered a reward of $10 aplece for the heads of all Americans brought to him. CAMARINES ARE PACIFIED. Taft Commission Names Army Lieu- tenant as Governor.

REVOLT AT MARGUERITA IS DUE TO A PREACHER Rebel Chiefs Have Thus Far Evaded Arrest and the Troops Are in Pursuit. ALGIERS, April 20.—It now develops that the revolt at Marguerita was pro- voked by Hadji Denaissa, a Maribout, who had preached the extermination of foreigners. Many of the inhabitants owed their safety to simulated conversion to Islamism. Sixty Arab rebel prisoners have been brought here, but no chiefs have yet been captured. The Mayor of Marengs has ?pealgd for troops, reporting that armed bands of Arabs are descending upon the town, but the Government believes they are only fiving from the pursuit of the troops at Marguerita. e i— GERMAN MILLIONAIRE IS MURDERED BY NATIVES Emperor William Orders a Cruiser to Island of New Britain to Awvenge Crime.

NEW YORK, April 28—Mark Twain was a guest of the Brooklyn Clerical Unfon last night. It was “ladies’ night,” and President Rev. Dr. J. F. Carson wel- comed the ladies with a eulogy of wives. “All our best and noblest impulses and inspirations come from them,” said he. ‘When Mark Twain's time came he said: “At just this time I am remarkably com- forted by an invitation to meet a body of clergymen like this. It is only in Brooklyn: that I am appreciated. But/ what's the use of lugging that in about our wives? Don’t you think that's ex- trayagant? “Mrs. Clemens was too tired to come, and I'm glad she was. I don’t want her to hear things like that. Why don’t you people, so far as vour calling will al- low, try to tell the truth? To be sure, you sometimes get out of practice, but | one saying one thing and one another | you produce confusion in the minds of people about religious matters. “Rev. Dr. — oh, I won't mention his name, has just called me low born and ill bred. I don’t mind that so much. Shakespeare was low born, too; and there was Adam—I belleve he was born out in the woods. But I'm glad the doctor didn’'t say it about Adam. When such a thing is said about the head of the family it hurts. Anyhow, I think I would prefer to be low born—in a republic— like the rest. If I had been born on the other side, why, then I would have liked be born a Duke, as I suppose Rev. Dr.—I won’t mention his name— would have been, if he had been born e ras Rev. Dr. Wayland Spauldine, resident of the Congregational Clerical Tnion, who, on Monday last, called Mark Twain low born and ill bred. | THEOSOPHISTS ASSEMBLE IN ANNUAL CONVENTION Elect New Officers for Ensuing Year and Make Some Changes in Constitution. INDIANAPOLIS, Apil 28.—The fifteenth annual convention of the Theosophical So- city of America was held at the English Hotel to-day. Delegates were present from twenty-two branch societies through- out the different States. A new constitu- tion was adopted and the following offi- cers were elected for the ensuing year: Secretary, T. P. Hyatt, New York; treas- urer, A. H. Spencer, New York; executive committee—Dr. J. D. Buck, Cincinnati; Dr. A. P. Buckham, Fort Wayne; J. A. Clark, Washington; Dr. Bunker, Brook- Iyn; Major General William Ludlow, U. S. A., now in the Philippines; M. H. Phelps, New York, and J. D. Bond, Fort Wayne. The constitution adopted to-day differs from the old one in that it places the ad- | ministration of the affairs of the soclety | between conventions in an executive com- mittee of seven members, to be elected at the annual convention. It also declares that any person declaring his sympathy with the objects of the society and agree- ing to abide by the constitution shall be granted a certificate of membership. The constitution provides that the ex- penses of the society shall be met by vol- untary contributions and that complete tolerance and freedom of action and be- lief shall be granted to each member or branch, but that they shall not have power to involve the society in any re- ligious, political or social dogma. 5 < — | | | change in the attitude of that European POLICY OF GERMANY MAY LEAD TO CLASH Admiral Dewey Believes Congress Errs in Not' Increasing the Navy to Meet Pos- sible Attack on the Monroe Doctrine Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, April 28—The Stock Ex- change enjoyed a fair amount of dealing during the past week. Its tone has been decidedly cheerful, as it is believed that business will' soon become more active. Consols remained the weakest of the se- curities, having sold down to 937, which is the lowest price since 189).They finished, however, above the lowest quotation. It is expected that the next settlement will disclose considerable bear account. The event of the financial week has been the issue of new consuls, the subscriptions to which reached $200,000,000. During the week home rails improved all around, Metropolitan gaining 7 and dis- tricts 14 on the prospects of benefits aris- ing from the introduction of electric trac- tion. Again there was much trading in American securitles. After a general re- action in the early part of the week, ow- ing to bear seiling, a further advance be- gan_on active buying, especially of Un- ion Pacific and Baltimore and Ohlo, which advanced from 4 to 8 points during the There was also much buying of United States Steel, the common stock closing at 50, and the preferred at 99%. _Satur- day’s close was well above parity. Wabash preferred advanced 3%, and Wabash de- bentures 21;. Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul advanced 3, Northern Pacifics 27, New York Central 1 and most of the oth- er American securities from 1 to 14. The mining market did not show. any special features. South Africans have evinced a firm tendency. De Beers im- proved 2%, Rands %, and most of the oth- ;rs showed improvements ranging from | | to 5, and there were but few mining stocks fractionally lower. Money was cheaper during the week, and at the following rates: Until Monday, 2% to 8; for a week, 3%, and three months’ bills 3% to 3%. Berlin Money Market Easier. BERLIN, April 28.—The money market now shows greater ease than for several years. The Reichsbank rate of discount is the lowest that has been in force since June, 189, and the private rate is unusu- ally low. Money for the monthly settle- ment is abundant. The Sehandlung is making great offerings for call money, of which only a small part has been taken, although rates are continuously relaxing. All reports_represents the demand for money for trade and speculation as les- sening. The monthly settlement is ggfl- {Pgh ?fl very smoothly, engagements being “The tone of the Bourse throughout the week was rather firm but business was limited. Discussing the week’s movement and the part played by Wall Street in it, the Vos- siche Zeitung says: “The United States are to-day setting the pace in business and financial affairs. The magnet of the Berlin Boerse pointed this week to New York, but Berlin lacks confidence in the American boom and fears a crash at any moment. Hence there is great reserve here.” The American boom continues to strengthen Deutsche Bank shares. Found Dead in His Room. SEATTLE, Wash., April 28—H. B. Dar- nell of Oil City, Pa., was found dead in his room at the Perrin House this aft- ernoon. He had blown out his brains with a revolver. As near as can be as- certained the suicide took place last Sat- urday afternoon. From a letter found in the room it would appear that Darnell was in destitute circumstances.

WASHINGTON, April 28.—The quarter- master's department of the army has di- rected Major Hyde, quartermaster at Nagasaki, to make every effort to pro- cure better coal for the transports which coal at that place. The necessity of coal- ing at Nagasaki became apparent as soon | as the United States took control at Ma- nila. It is true that coaling could be done from colller in Manila Bay, but for only six months in the year. For the remain- der of the time it is impossible to get a ship and collier together with safety. Ar- | rangements are made now to coal in San | Francisco and Nagasaki and no oftener in Manila than necessary. Major Hyde has been instructed to ascertain which is the best coal to be found in Japan and to contract for a continuous supply for the transports. The Japanese coal is not the best, but it s found to be the most econ- omical that can be used. It costs about $4 per ton, while Australian coal taken to Nagasaki and resold costs about $12 ner ton owing to the high duty placed upon coal by Japan in the interest of her own coal flelds. The great drawback to the Japanese coal is the fact that it contains too much sulphur and instead of the com- bustion occurring in the furnace it often goes into the pipes and is very destructive to that portion of the boilers. Much of the repairing that has been found neces- sary to the army transports has been about the boflers which have been dam- aged by Japanese coal. At the same time, owing to the great cost of coal brought from_Australia, it is found economical to use Japanese coal rather than pay the higher price for Australian coal. Ths navy does not use Japanese coal. At San Francisco the gquartermaster’s depart- ment pays the highest price for coal. Most of it reaches cisco as bal- last, but some comes from North Pacific ports. The department IS now experi- menti with coal from Utah and it is believed that it can shipped to San Francisco and sold lower than other coals Which are now purchased there.
