BACKBONE 0F REBELLION BROKEN.
clare That Two Thousand of Agui-
nnldo’s Troops Would Give Up
Arms if Allowed to Do So.
MANILA, April 3.—-The American
troops under General MacArthur are
still resting at Malolos, where every-
thing is quiet. Hostilities elsewhere, so
far as officially reported, have been
limited during the last,24 hours to an
occasional exchange of shots between
the insurgents and the troops 'forming
the'lines of General Lawton and Gen-
eral Hall, extending from the water-
works to Lalonia. But this shooting
has been just active enough to make
the lives of the soldiers a burden and to
compel the officers to sleep in the
trenches, clothed and in readiness to
repel possible attacks.
Most of the Americans are becoming
convinced that the backbone of the in-
surgent opposition isbroken. There
are. numerous rumors pointing to an
early collapse of the insurrection. One
of these is that General Pio del Pilar,
the best fighter among the Filipino offi-
' cers, will desert Aguinaldo and give his
support to the Americans.
The Spaniards; reasoning from their
experience of the natives, refuse to be-
lieve that the rebellion is anywhere
near put down. They declare that the
Filipinos will not take their defeat at
Malolos, with the loss of the city and
the removal of their so called‘governf
ment, seriously to heart. On the con-
trary, the Spaniards predict that the
insurgents will hover near the Ameri—
can lines, bothering them as much as
possible, and when attacked in force
dissolve only to reappear at other
places. This sort of tactics, the Span-
iards say, will be followed until the wet
season compels the Americans to be
housed in barracks, and then the Fili-
pinos will return and reocoupy such
towns as the United States troops do
not garrison. With the next dry season
a repetition of the present operations
will begin. Time alone will show how
much there is in this theory; but, as
against it, it must be borne in mind
that the Spaniards in all their domina-
tion of. the Philippines never gave the
inhabitants a demonstration of power
comparable in effectiveness to that giv—
en them by the United States.
A priest and two members of the so
called Filipino congress, who hid them-
selves in the woodsduring the fighting
which preceded the capture of Malolos,
returned there yesterday morning and
declared that 2,000 of the Filipino sol-
diers were anxious to give up fighting
and would do so but for their officers,
who keep them under arms.
The whole country between Malolos
and Caloocan is now full of friendlies,
mostly women, children and old peo-
ple, who are retu‘i'ning to their homes,
carrying white flags. The Americans
are trying to gain the confidence of the
inhabitants by proving to them that if
they will return and attend to their or-
dinary work peacefully no harm will be-
fall them. Two hundred and fifty civil-
ians came back to their homes in Ma-
lolos Saturday evening. Two thousand
women and children, with a sprinkling
of unarmed. men, supposed to be war-
riors, came to the outskirts of Malolos
:on the sea side of the city and after-
ward sneaked away, carrying all the
goods they could.
There has been no little good natured
rivalry as to which regiment—the First
Montana or the Twentieth Kansas—is
entitled to the honor of having raised
its flag first in Malolos. Colonel Funston
and 20 men of Company E, Kansas 'vol—
unteers, claim‘the distinction on the
ground, as already cabled, of having en-
tered the town at double quick and rais-
ed the company’s flag, but the first flag
to be recognized officially was that of
Company G of the Montana infantry.

Agonclllo Does Some Bragging.
PARIS, April v3.-—Agonclllo, the agent
of Aguinaldo, in the course of an inter-
.view published in La Patric, says:
“The capture of Malolos is not as im-
portant as the Americans are trying to
make it appear. The Filipino govern-
ment had already determined upon re-
move] to San Fernando, and a small de-
tachment of, troops was left with orders
to burn the \town and thus to draw the
Americans i' land. .Two months of rain

NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.
otic Condition of Affairs—New
York City M‘flasnres Cause Trouble.
AL -NY, April 3.——The approaching
adjou _ment of the legislature finds
matters of ,important'legislation in- a
most chaotic condition. and such .a con-
dition of general uncertainty as is rare;
1y known. Now, two days later than
the date of final adjournment last year,
the end of the legislative sessionis still
a matter of, great doubt. Governor
Roosevelt has expressed the hope that
the session will end as early as the 22d,
and this is the date upon which Speaker
Nixon has fixed his ambition. Whether
it can be realized will depend entirely
upon the city bills still awaiting pas-
sage and which must go to the local
authorities for approval or disapproval,
15 days being allowed for their consid-*
eration.
One of the most troublesome of
these, and indeed one of the most
troublesome of the whole session, is
the Amsterdam avenue bill. After re—
peated amendments in the senate the
bill finally passed that body and went
to the assembly, where the amendments
were rejected, and the bill‘is now in
conference. This conference will meet
tomorrow, when, it is understood, an
amendment prepared by the governor
is to be agreed upon, and this will
doubtless be accepted in the assembly.
1 The bill will then have to go back to the
senate for concurrence, so that its final
passage before transit to the mayor of
New York cannot take place before the
end of the week.
Another matter ‘which will seriously
interfere with the final adjournment is
the investigation of the New York city
police department by an assembly com-
mittee. This committee will meet here
in Albany tonight and organize, and
Chairman Mazet says he hopes to get
to work at the investigation early this
week. He says that the committee will
make some sort of a report to this leg—
islature before the adjournment, but
will not intimate whether he intends to
complete the investigation within the
next few weeks. The general impres—l
sion, however, is that the, committee
will make but a preliminary report to
this legislature, its inquiry extending
throughout the summer and up to the
time for the next election. The extent
to 11 inch it may be deemed desirable to ,
report to this se'ssion will enter largely
into the determination of the date of
final adjournment.
The New York police bills, which are
really the most important matters of
party legislation of the session, still
await final action. Senator Raines,
who introduced them in the senate, has
given notice of a motion to suspend the
rules to permit of their immediate con~
sidcration, and it his intention to call
this up tomorrow morning. A deter-
mined fight is certain, and it will doubt-
less occupy the entire day, the ultimate
result being still in doubt. These .bills
will also have to go to the mayor 'of
New York, and as they are certain of
opposition there they are likely to be
held for the full 15 days.
Negroes Break Jail.
BRUNSWICK, Ga., April 3.—Twelve
negro prisoners broke jail Sunday night,
and one was mortally wounded While
resisting capture. The criminals broke
an iron bar in their cage and with it
knocked down Jailer Rudolph. They
then rushed to the street and were seen
escaping by Foreman Sanders of the
fire department, who gave an alarm.
One of the fugitives attempted to strike
Fireman Smith. Smith fired, and the
ball penetrated the negro’s forehead
over the right eye, and he fell in his
tracks. He was left lying where he fell
and the chase continued after the oth-
ers. Two were dragged out from under
the rectory, and others were captured
near by, making the total of wounded
and captured nine. The three others
are still at large. ’
Information Wanted.
”WASHINGTON, April 3.—Assistant
.“‘ *erctary of War Meiklejohn has pro-
mulgated an order of instructions to de-
partmental commanders in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines which, if liter-
ally and promptly carried out, promises
to produce the exact information which
the people of the United States as well
as those of other countries are anxious-
ly seeking at this time. All of the books
that have been published upon the is-
lands named have necessarily been of a
superficial character, owing largely to
the difficulty of obtaining exact statis~
tical information of as varied a charac-
ter as is required by Secretary Meiklea
john’s circular of instructions.

THE GAMBLER Wins ALWAYS.
An Ingenious Electrical Device 101-
Winning at Dice Revealed
by an Odd Table.
Among the battered. flotsam and
jetsam that has accumulated in a sec-
ond-hand store in New Orleans, says
the Times-Democrat, is a. shabby round
table with a curious secret, and no
doubt. a. still more_ curious history. The
top was once cove-red with green bil-
liard cloth, which is worn to' tatters
and discloses a steel plate set. in the.
center and perhaps ten inches square.
.The whole top is loose and can be- re-
moved, revealing an interior space con-
taining a horseshoe magnet. wound
with a. wire and connected with an arv-l
mature, very much like. that of an or-
dinary telegraph instrument. A close
examination shows an insulated wire
running down one of the ..legs to a
small knob or button, protruding on
the outside. When the top is in place.
1 the processes are still among- the mys-
the steel plate rests directly over‘ the
magnet.
This strange device is explained
clearly enough by its present owner.
“It is a dice. table,” he said, “on1which a.
lot- of money has been won. When it
was in order there was a good-sized
battery inside connected with the mag-
net. When the knob on the leg was
pressed the current was turned on, and
that made the steel plate magnetic.
The dice they used with it had small
metal disks on one face, and as long
as the current was on they naturally
fell that. side down. When the knob
was released they would fall any way
they chanced to come, so all that was
necessary for the operator to do was to
keep his knee on the button and- he
could‘ absolutely control his play.”
‘ THE GERM hfiNT'ER's
Homes and Factories Rendered Safer
from Disease by Their
Elton-tor.
It is a recognized fact. that the re-
searches of M. Pasteur have saved
many millions of francs to the French
people by showing them how to guard
against the pests of their herds, fields
and vineyards, besides reducing to a
_» remarkable extent the- mortality 'in
their hospitals, and both the medical
practice and the hygienic habits of all
civilized nations- are sharing these ben-
efits, says Youth’s Companion. '
The courses of biology in our col-
leges now include some knowledge of
bacteriology, and there are special pro-
visions for students who Wish to follow
up this fruitful branch' in the labora-
tories. Happily for all the people, the
results of such inquiries become a.
part of common knowledge,even while
tones of science.
Thousands of homes and factories
, are safer from diISease-producing germs
because of the spread of a kind of
knowledge which is quite superficial.
The farmer sprinkles parisz green over
his potato vines; the housekeeper buys
of the druggist a bottle of carbolic’
acid, or some better disinfectant; the
nurse, under the oversight of tbephy-
sician, treats the diphtheritic patient
with antitoxin; and inl each case they '
only need to understand. that these sub—
stances destro-y parasitic life. Per-
haps the few wise ones, who know at.
what cost the fruits of science and art
are brought within common. reach,
may have their own quiet chuckle at
the complacent claim of “popular‘ in-
telligence. ”
