Exciting Session of the New
York City Investigators.
AWITNESS EJECTEO FROM THE ROOM '
Croker’s Mun Freedman Refuses to
Answer the Questions of Moss.
’ Owned to' Dividing; Pro-
coeds “'ith the Boss.
NEW YORK, April 22.—Two exciting
sessions of the Mazet investigating
committee were held yesterday. -A fea-
ture was the refusal of witnesses to
give testimony. Another feature was
the defiant attitude of Andrew Freed-
than on the stand and still another fea-
ure the ejection from the committee
ppm of Abraham Himmelwright of the
, Oebling company when he insisted up-
Sx‘; making a statement after he had re-
used to answer a great majority of
questions put to him by Mr. Moss,
counsel for the committee.
The chief interest centered in Andrew
Freedman, who within recent years has
been known as a warm personal friend
of Mr. Croker’s and associated with him
in a business‘ way. Mr. Freedman was.
more, than ordinarily forcible in his an-
swers to some of the questions, and
many of the questions he refused to an-
swer at all. At other times he was re-
buked by both Mr. Moss and Chairman
Mazet . for what they termed “im-
pertinence.”
After Mr. Freedman’s examination
had progressed to a' certain point and
the witness had refused several times to
answer a question which he deemed “a
personal matter” Mr. Moss excused him
for the day.
Mr. Freedman then got down from
the stand, and, turning to the newspaé
per representatives, he handed them a
paper, saying, “Gentlemen of the press,
here is a statement of the entire busi-
ness of the Platt companies and all- of
the companies for publication.”
This was a paper relating to the busi-
ness done by the United States Fidelity
and Guarantee company, in which
Freedman and Croker are interested,
and contained information which Mr.
Moss had desired to get at during the
course of the examination. Mr. Moss
therefore was very indignant at Freed-
man's action, and he denounced the
witness vehemently and recalled him to
the stand. The questions which he put
with regard to the paper to Freedman
were not answered, the witness refusing
absolutely to state by whom the paper
had been prepared.
At this juncture Mr. Moss took occa-
sion to say that those witnesses who
were in contempt would be dealt with
later in a regular, logical and legal way.
When Mr. Croker was on the stand a
few days ago, he testified that he had
received dividends from the surety com-
pany, while yesterday it developed that
the company had not paid dividends.
Mr. Freedman explained on the stand,
in reply to a series of questions, that
Mr. Croker is a stockholder in the com-
pany and is interested in the business
success of, the metropolitan district.
that he (the witness) 'received a salary
of $15,000 a year as manager for this
territory and commissions and that he
divided this money with Mr. Croker.‘
Mr. Freedman, however, refused 'to
name the sum that he paid to Croker
and said further that he thought Mr..
Crclzer might be under the impression
that the money paid him was in the
way of a dividend.
Abraham Himmelwright of the Roe-
bling Construction company refused at
the very outset of his examination to
answer questions and entered into a
discussion at the ~slightest opportunity.
‘ After several long wrangles the witness
insisted upon making an explanation.
He was ordered down from the witness
stand by Chairman Mazet, but refused
to leave the stand. Then Mr. Moss
called for .the sergeant-at-arms, and
Himmelwright was escorted from the
room.
Minister Correa Going HOII‘le.
WASHINGTON, April 22.——Minister
Correa of Nicaragua has called at the
state department to inform the officials
that he would return to Nicaragua on
the 29th inst. for a conference with
President Zelaya on a number of sub—
jects in which this country and Nicara-
gua are mutually interested, including
the canal question. It is expected also
that Senor Correa will use his influ-
ence to terminate any ill effect which
may remain on account of the Blue-
fields incident. '
Cigars Bore Forged Stumps.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 22,—Ten
thousand cigars have been seized in
this city by internal revenue officers
because the'boxes bore forged revenue
stamps. Collector Lynch will not dis-
close the name of the firm receiving the
cigars, but says they Were manufactur—

ulently labeled cigars.

SeriOus Topic Considered at

VOLUNTEERS lNCITED TO l’IUTINY.
American Citizens Giving Encour-
agement to Agninaldo and His In—
surgent Band—Questionable
Messages Intercepted.
WASHINGTON, April 22.—There was
some talk at yesterday’s cabinet meet-
ing which indicated that the adminis-
tration had discovered a. plot on the
part of antiexpansionists in the United
States to cause trouble in the Philip-
pines of a. character not hitherto antici—
pated. Particulars of what the admin-
istration knows of this alleged treason—
able attempt are n6t obtainable, but
there is reason to believe that it was
based on the idea that the annexation
sentiment could be weakened by caus-
ing dissatisfaction among the volun-
teers now serving under General Otis,
with the hoped for result that the reg-
ulars alone would not be able to cope
with the military situation. The effect
of this, according to the understand-
ing here of the purpose of the move-
ment, would be to impress the people of’
the United States 'with the idea that the
Filipino insurrection could not be sup-
pressed.
Information as to just how much was
said on this subject at the cabinet
meeting cannot be ascertained. It is'
said that the administration has ob-
tained possession of some telegrams
that were sent to the Philippines by
people in this country for the purpose
of creating a mutinous spirit among the
volunteers because they had not been
sent home immediately after the dec-
laration of peace between Spain and
the United States. The administration,
it is asserted, does not contemplate
prosecuting the'authors of the move-
ment on the charge of treason, but
rather desires to collect sufficient evi-
dence to make their exposure complete.
General Otis recently telegraphed the
war department thatthe volunteers all
wanted to remain in the Philippines
while there was fighting to do. More
recently there has been a. change of
sentiment among the volunteers, or, at
least, it has been represented to the
government that they were dissatisfied
and wanted to come home. It was hint-
ed that this dissatisfaction was to some
extent traceable to a. movement that
originated and was being carried on in
this country.
The suspicion of the administration
has also been excited by dispatches,
bearing Manila and Hongkong date
lines, published in American newspa-
pers, that have represented a very bad
state of affairs in the islands with re-
spect to the military campaign against
Aguinaldo’s forces.
\Vreck of the Pluton,
SANTIAGO, Cuba., April' 22.—The
wreck of the Spanish torpedo boat de—
stroyer Pluton, which was sunk in the
great battle that resulted in the de-
struction of Admiral Cervera’s squad-
ron, has been discovered about three
miles west of Morro Castle in eight
fathoms of water. It was found by div—
ers from the Yankton, who made a
thorough inspection, finding the hull
lying on the port side and with no in-
dication of having been struck by a
heavy shell. as was originally reported.
The vessel. however, is badly stove and
literally riddled with 6 pound shot. Evi-
dently the Gloucester did her work well
that day, for the Pluton is utterly ruin-
ed, and no attempt will be made to raise
her.

CHiCAGO, April 22.—It has just been
made public that ex-Governor John P.
Aitgeld has been a very sick man for

office with an attack of the grip. Sc ill
'was he that he could not be taken to
his home and was cared for at the.

When anything stands a test of over sixty years among a discriminating
people like the Americans, and Steadily' increases in sale, it is pretty good
evidence that there is. merit somewhere. Such is the record of Brandreth's
Pills.
In .1836, one year af:er they were introduced into the United States,
135,000 boxes were sold; and in 1897, 1,123,097 boxes were sold in this
country alone, not to speak of the large and increasing sales throughout the
world, where they have been on sale since I77o—ncarly one hundred and
thirty years. Does’m this speak volumes {or the virtues of Brandreth’s Pills ? b
That they actually perform all that is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the fact that those who regard them with the greatest favor are
those’who have used them the longest.
Brandrcth's Pills are purely vegetable, and are made of the highest class
goods obtainable. For two years every pill lies in the storehouse before it is
put on sale. This allows the medicine to mellow and soften, and explains
why the cathartic action of llrandreth's Pills is so certain and so easy. The
system never becomes inured to them, they can be taken indefinitely, and if
stopped at any time, the functions will, procecd- to act in a natural manner.
They are the safest medicine to take yourself and the safest to give your
