L MANILA, June 16.—Colonels Infant and Gflivara, representatives of General Cailles, to-day signed the name of their | principal to an agreement to surrender. | Under the terms of this agreement Gen- | | eral Cailles is to assemble his men at | | Santa Cruz, Laguna province, as quick!yl | as possible and there surrender himself and his command to the American author- | ities. The exact number of his force is uncertain, but there probably will be more than 500. Seventeen J es have been appointed to the courts of first instance. Among these appointments there are _eleven Americans, who have been given the most important circults, as follows: Manila, Kinkaid of Texas and Odlin of New Hampshire; Aparri, Blount of Georgia; Dagupan, Johnson of Michigan: Batan- gas, YJneh:\rgor of Tllinoi Nueva Ca- ceres, Carson of Virgini: . Bates of Vermont; Negros. Norris : Cebu, Carlock of Illinois; Zamboanga, Ickis of lowa: Jolo, Whitsett of Missouri. For more than a year past General | Cailics has ~ommanded the insurgent forces operating on the east side of Bay | Lake, north of Manila. He is sald to be a French hall-caste, and during the last revolution he has acquired a reputation for vindictiveness and cruelty. The Socicty of Mandu-Cats, whose prac- tice was to ascassinate and_ bury alive | those of their countrymen who accepted American sovereignty whenever the lat- into their hands, operated with | the cognizance if not the support of Gen- eral Cailles. At one time Cailles offered a reward of §10 for each head of an Ameri- can brought to him, and more recently he offered a re'ward of $10,000 for the head of Captain Edward N. Jones Jr. of the Eighth Infantry. Since the capture of Aguinaldo, Calilles, who was one of the few insurgent leaders who did not surrender under the terms of amnesty, has been persistently pursued- by the American troops. He was de- ared to have been wounded in one en- last month, and negotiations eral Sumnexsfor some weeks past. He s declared fo be an outlaw by _the American authorities, and this fact, which meant that he could not expect to enjoy immunity for his past deeds and violati of “honorable warfare. but would have to stand frinl on the many char doubtless compelled him to prolong his resisiance. ‘i he em- | bers of the Federal party advised him to surren . but this he persistently refused to do until he raw that capture was inevitable. Cailles a Gocd General. Cailles is 2 man with considerable influ- ence with the Filipino people and an ag- gressive fighter. He Kept his followers well in hand, his system of mobilization being excellent. In the mountains of La- guna province, where Cailles practically confined his operations., he had many ad- vantages over the American troops fre- quently sent to odge him, and ren- dered their efforts futile. He is credited with the Sinaloan affair of last year, in which a few American troops were badly cut up. losing more than 50 per cent of the number engaged. Cailles at one time declared himself to | be Aguinaldo’s successor. He and Gen- | eral Malver were the only two trouble- some insurgent leaders remaining in Lu- | zon. WASHINGTON, June 16.—Officials of | the War Department are very well pleased | s oo, with the prospective surrender of General | Callles, the Filipino insurgent leader. Ad- | vices received at the department indicated | that this would occur soon. Cailles is a man of considerable {nfluence, who, with | his backing of some hundreds of men, | has been a menace to the efforts of the | military authorities to crush out the re- | bellion in Luzon. | ° ] (THE CHARITY SWINDLERS ’ ARE SCURRYING TO COVER [ Continued From Page One. | i : but he would have nothing to do with it. “I don’t want to get into trouble, and I am willing to sign any statement The Call asks me to sign.

Weinberg made a suggestion to Doneghy that he | would go out dressed as a minister to sell | tickets.” That Mamlock was prepared to do a big | business in selling tickets for the *“Cali- | fornia Boys' and Girls’ Aid Society” is | shown by the large number of tickets he had printed. He yesterday exhibited a drawer filled with e tickets, probably 2000 in number. The tickets were printed on cards of four colors. Miss Howie sold | the yellow tickets, Miss Smith sold those | of a drab color, Miss McDonald had lav- | ender tickets and Mrs. Wilcox disposed of blue ones. By these colors, Mamlock could teli what portion of the city was the | best for his echeme, and at the same time ab” on the ticket sellers. The iickets issued by Mamlock for his “society’” and those placed on sale by the Doneghy-Barnes-Deiweiler _ combination, as well as those of Mrs. K. C. Gregory, |alias Miss C. C. Graham, have no check number upon them. Thousands of the tickets were printed and the object of the workers was to dispose of as many of them as possible. By this means it would be impossible for the officials of a genuine society, for which the tickets might be sold, to_find out how much momey was | | collécted by the schemers. The usual custam followed when charit- able or fraternal societies give benefit con- | certs is to have all tickets numbered con- | secutively and impressed with the stamp seal of the organizations. This prevents fraud and at the same time enables tie | societies to tally exactly the number:of tickets disposed of by canvassers. It is well known that in the past few months every street in_ the down-town | portion of the city has been covered by | the ~“charity workers.” Doneghy znd Helen Barnes have had twelve women at work; Mamlock had five ticket sellers and Mrs. Gregory is reported to have had four assistants. ‘With this number of “charity workers”™ engaged in selling tickets it would be an easy matter to bring in $200 to $500 per day. The trained “workers” employed by Doneghy were also used to “break in”’ the young women hired in this city. When the novice was considered an “expert” sha was launched out to cover a certain dis- trict alone. They were given a commis- slon on their sales in addition to salaries, ‘Word was passed around yesterday that none of the ticket sellers should go out to-day to dispose of tickets. Possibly their ‘)anlpals are afraid of arrest, and it is also possible that they realize that it will be extremely difficult to do business in this city just now and have decided to wait until the storm blows over.

The camp was open to-day from past past 9 o'clock to half past 5, and a large number of the troops took advantage of the license to seek the town and spent | time and money among the many attrac- | tions of the little seaside city. But at half past 5 the stragglers were coming in on the run, and when the gates were closed and the road to camp was made to end at the guard tents there were still more on the way, and there is trouble in | store for them all. This evening there was a meeting of the | general officers of the camp and a plan for the week was decided upon. The three General Dickinson’s tent after supper. The con- ference lasted for more than an hour and a plan of fleld marches for each brigade was the result. To-merrow afternoon the Third Bridage, under command of Gen- eral Muller, will start out. The big trees at Felton will be the destination and there the brigade will camp for the night. The march will be made as if through tne enemy’'s country. Flankers, an advance guard and a rear guard and cavalry sdouts will be thrown out and the march will be made with all precautions observed in ar. A map of the country thrqugh ich the troops will pass must be de and every stream and every cross road and every farmhouse must be marked | upon it _in proper scales.

The, fullest written reports of the march must accompany the maps and the whole must be submitted to General Dickinson as a report of operations in the field. No restrictions will be placed upon Brigadier General Muller. He will be allowed to make his march as he pleases and must select his own camping ground for the night he will spend with his brigade away from camp. The men will be in heavy marching order and with one day's ra- tions. The distance is about ten miles. Tuesday morning the Third Brigade will return to camp and Tuesday afternoon an- other brigade, probably the Second, will take the fleld. When the Second returns Wednesday morning the last of the brig- ades, probably the First,, will make a march. So far arrangements include in detall only the march of the Third. Brig- ade. The other brigades may take the same march and they may go elsewhere, but that they will take some march, in- cluding a night encampment, is eertain, The plan was General Dickinson's, and it was heartily indorsed by his generals. While the odd brigade is on its field march the others will go through battallon and regimental maneuvers. The hay that has blocked a large part of the parade ground has been sold and before another day ls out it will be hauied away, leaving the place clear for any tactics the regi- ments may wish to study. Another drill of the camp will be an attack and a de- fense by attachments assigned to either side.

This morning there was a service in front of the headquarters of the Third Brigade, which was attended by represen- tatives from nearly every company in both the Second and Sixth Regiments. Chaplain Evans of the Sixth Regiment conducted the services. He stood on a camp chest in front of headquarters. Over him was a canopy of sacking set up on four redwood poles and guyed by tent ropes. Just behind him was the littie flag that flutters the information that there is the headquarters of the Third Brigade. | The ‘band ot the Sixth Regiment was in attendance and added a brazen chant to the words of the minister. Church calls | rang out at 10 o'clock, and then from the tents and company streets officers and men hurried to the space befare the im- provised pulpit and seated themselves in rows upon the dry grass. The band was formed, and then ‘Lead, Kindly Light,” scunded solemnly through the camp and the opening began of the first church service of Camd Gage. There was singing by the men and prayer, and then an address by the chap- lain.

Breakfast will be at 6:30 o’clock. Sick call and police call will be,at 7. Adjutant's call for guard mount will be at 7:30 and guard mount at 8. The guard mount to-day was a quiet affair, for the division guard was merely sent to post and there was no ceremony. There was a ceremonial guard mount by the Sixth Regiment, but the other regi- ments had none. The camp is patrolle¢ by a division guard made up of details from each of the organizations in camp, but each regiment in addition sets a 'regi- | mental guard In Its own company streets and over its own property. There are regi- mental officers of the day and of the guard in every regiment, but there are no brigade guard organizations. The field officer of the day to-day is Lieutenant Colonel F. L. Reynolds, Seventh Infantry. The commander of the guard is First Ldeutenant J. P. Barrow, Company D, Fifth Infantry, and the officer of the guard is Second Lieutenant, C. C.

The Third Brigade has had attached to it, however, for purposes of ceremony the squadron of cavalry and the signal corps. The mounted organizations may also d& duty with the brigade on some of its field maneuvers. The Second Brigade headquarters has tapped the eleetric light wire and to- right incandescent lamps were radiant in each tent. Major Naphtaly, brigade in- sary. and Captain Bush, aid to General Warfield, did the work.

The_ division hospital has five patients already and the surgeons are looking for more. No sick man is allowed to linger in his tent, even on Sunday, for the rows of cots in the hospital wards are waiting for men. The regular field system is be- ing put into use both of inspection and in hospital work, and Celonel McCarthy, the division surgeon in charge of it all, smiles in satisfled enthusiasm as he fig- ures on_ the possibilities of accident and ill-health. The system he has introduced is_complete and accurate. Lieutenant Colonel Pedlar, Third Bri- gade, is_executive officer of the sanitary corps.

Camp Revelry by Night. To-night the eamp has all the appear- ance and all the air of a social gathe:- "ing. Officers and men are wanderin from headquarters to headquarters an. from tent to tent. Lights twinkle in the company streets and Japanese lanterns throw the glamour on their soft light over the tents of the First Regiment. It is a poor company street that has not at least one guitar or banjo or mandolin, and some of them half a dozen. The twang of strings hums through the air all over the ridges. The voices of men singing in ones and twos and threes and fours come clearly from the tents, for the air is still as a calm in the tropics, and the voices from all over the camp blend in a dreamy harmony. It is no wonder the men come to camp. “Taps,” floating sweetly out from divi- sion and brigade headquarters, quiets all with {ts mellow tones. The laughter dies away. The twang of string and the note of song are hushed and one by one the lights twinkle out, leaving nothing but the crv'ot the sentry and tramp of the men on post.

Con- verse of the executive board of the United States Steel Corporation, formerly presi- dent of the National Tube Company, was arrested at Greensburg Junction, on the Pennsylvania Raflroad, Saturday after- noon at 4 o’clock, taken from the train in which he had been touring the country for several weeks, visiting the plants of the billion-dollar trust with a large party of officlals and arraigned at Greensburg, where he was compelled to give bail for his appearance the first Monday in Sep- tember. | Converse was arrested on a writ issued | by the Westmoreland Court at the In: stance of James- L. Devenny of McKees- port, charging him with misappropriating the proceeds of ‘the sale of 3999 shares in the capital stock of the McKeesport, Du- | quesne and Wilmerding Street Rallway Company. Devenny held the majority of | the stock in the road and several hun- dred shares in trust. He alleges.that in February, 189, Converse secured the stock from him, sold it for about $100,000 and falled to account for the receipts. Devenny says he has made repeated demands for his share of the money and that Converse | has failed to respond. Last January Mr. Devenny began equity roceedings against the steel magnate, gut Converse has kept himself outside the jurisdiction of the courts. On Saturday, when he passed through McKeesport,' Devenny saw him and started after him. Converse got out of the city and over the line into West- moreland County before Devenny could serve a writ on“him. Devenny, knowing | that Converse's special car would have to | go through Greensburg to reach the main | line of the Pennsylvania, took a short cut to that town. He secured attorneys, and when Mr. Converse’s train arrived at the junction Mr. Devenny was awaiting him with the Sheriff of Westmoreland County and Constable Collins of McKeesport. The special train was not supposed to stop at the junction, but was flagged by order of the Sheriff. The party boarded the train and Mr. Converse, much to his surprise, was placed under arrest. He went with the party to the office of De- venny's attorneys in Greensburg and fur- | nished bail for his appearance in the | Westmoreland Court on September 2. The party traveling on the special train ‘was composed of about twenty-five of the officials of the United States Steel Cor- poration.

Attempt to Arrest a Romany ‘Wanderer Causes Trouble. —— Special Dispatch to The Call. COVELO, June 16.—The police and town marshal and their deputies in this com- munity are proverbially brave, but the mettle of three of them was sorely tried to-day by a struggle with a ferocious ba- boon. It was while attempting to arrest an itinerant gypsy queen at the parade grounds that Marshal Keating was at- tacked by a muscular simian belonging to the Romany potentate. The animal loy- ally came to the aild of his mistress and gave vallant battle to the officers in the presence of a large crowd of cowboys, who loosened its hold on Keating only when the tightening grasp of four las- soes shut off its wind. The creature was, however, subdued, but momentarily and after being thrust into a wagon he renewed hostilities and proceeded to clean out the whole squad of officers that followed him during the me- lee. The huge gorilla was laid low with a club and bound with straps. The queen and her daughter were then taken aboard and the journey fo the calaboose bega On the way the gorilla freed his arms a made a viclous lunge at the driver, Walter Osborne. The gypsy woman, with her little daugh- ter and her gorilla, has for several days been traveling through this section and many complaints had reached the officers concerning them. The woman rattled a tambourine, while the gorilla danced. Th child begged and the trio found it very profitable. Keating asked the woman to show her county license. She was un- able to comply and the officer attempted to arrest her. Her resistance caused the gorilla to show fight. Keating was badly bitten and blood-poisoning is feared.
