FUNSTON'S ACT. 8TRUNQ UP TWO FILIPINOS WITH OUT TRIAL May Be tmirtmartlaled For So Doing-. Soldiers I.rrnwd at Mutilation of Amrrlc-Mi Prisoners by tho Natives, fana Hliuuld Be I'unUhed. Manila, April 10. An interesting topic of oouversntiou in army circles Is the investigation of Brigadier General Frederick Funston's execution of two Filipinos and tho possibility of a court martial resulting therefrom. The story is tliat the Filipinos captured three Maccabebe scouts who were crossing tho country near San Isidro and were preparing to kill them whou one of the Maccftbobc escaped and found General Funston with a scouting party near. This mai guided tho Americans to the the rescue of his companions, and when tho troops approaohod the Filipinos fled, leaving the Maccabcbes. Several of tho Filipinos were shot and General Funston captured two of them, took them to the village square end hong them without trial, as a warning to the I'llipinos. Tho present method of war faro and instances of tho mutilation of prisoners have iuceusod the American soldiers to such a degree that they foci justified in making reprisals, which has been done on several occasions recently. There is a strong feeling among tho rosidunts nud friendly Filipinos that tho Chinese genoral, Puna, who, as an nounced March 31, surrendered to Brig adier General Kobbe, after terrorizing the proviuco of Pauay, should be se verely punished. It is pointed out that his career has been more that of a bri gand than of a soldier, as ho looted and extorted money by tortnro from wealthy natives and burned alivo some of his followers who intended to desert him. It is believed Pnna surrendered because ho feared his own men, and that he ex ported to bo paroled, liko other officers, and enjoy the fruits of his brigandage. PLEA OF LADY CUR20N.

Flooded It I vers In State lleported to lie Falling. Austin, Tex., April 9. Tho increased volume tf water which came down the river undermined the power house at tho dam, and it fell into the river, carry ing with it $300,000 worth of machinery. Tho wreckage of tho plant means that it will take several weeks to secure even a temporary water and light system, il it cau bo made possiblo even then. In the meantime the city will be in a bad sanitary condition. All the hotels, private residences, stores and the like are without water and thero is no fire protection. Churches were nnable to hold services last night for want of light, and all publio meet ings were abandoned. The daily news papers are handicapped in their publica tions, being deprived of theif electric power. The river is falling. Reports from the neighboring country are to the effect that everything is under water. In Williamson county, north of hero, railroad bridges and trackage have been laid waste and all trains have stopped running. Hundreds of head of cattle have been drowned and nnTes of fencing torn down and washed away. In Bastrop county and in tho southern portion of this county, similar conditions prevail, everything being under wr.ter and runch loss ol property is reportod. The country tributary to tho Colorado river all the way down its course is being inundated, and while it is be lieved tho worst is over, the loss as esti mated will exceed some $3,000,000, count ing Austin as the largest loser. Tho list of drowned, according to reports, is limited to those who lost their lives here when the dam broke. Probably between 80 and 40 lives were lost. A massmeetiug of citizens has been called for today in order that some steps may bo taken to relieve tho situation. The flood was not tinliko the disastrous Johnstown flood some years' ngo, in that a rnging river, nlready swollen far be yond its capacity, bore too heavily upon an immense dam spanning tho livei here, breaking it aud lotting looso a res ervoir of water 30 miles long, balf a mile wide aud 60 feet deep, to aid in carrying destruction down tho valleys of the Colorado river. With a roar and a crash it swept the valleys below the city, wrecking the im mense light and power plant and drown ing eight workmen.

Mr. Pattison said that he had never beon informed that such a movement was on foot and added that he did not even know who was back ol the proposition. He felt grateful, he said, toward those who had considered him in connection with the nomination. He declined to say, however, whether he would accept if tho honor was conferred upon him, on the ground that ho could not accept ol dec-lino anything that had not been of fored to him. A JAUNT FOE DEWEY. Cowan Arranging to Let the People En thane Over Illm Hit Mrs. Dewey Changed Fnlth T Washington, April 9. It is asserted that President Cowan, of tho Baltimore and Ohio, is arranging for an eiabrorate journey of Admiral Dewey, by his road, to the Chicago Dewey reception, which will give the people a chunce to enthnso over the admiral. Mr. Cowan is a Gold Democrat. A report was in circulation here tluit Mrs. Dewoy had left the Catholic church and had become an Episcopalian, but no verification of the rumor could be obtained. New York, April 4. A special to Tho World from Washington said: Admiral Dewey authorizes The World to nunonnce to the American people that, after mature reflection, and in re sponse to tho earnest entreaties from all parts of tho country, his former decision not under any circumstances to run for the presidency is rescindod. "Since studying this subject I am ttonviuced that the office of the presi dent is not such a very difficult ouo to fill, his duties being mainly to execute the laws of congress. "Should I be chosen for this exalted position I would execute tho laws of congress as faithfully as I have always rxecuted the orders of my superiors." Philadelphia, April 8. Admiral Dewey, while here, announced himself as a Democrat, Cleveland City Employes Sentenced. Cleveland, April 0. Albert Davis and Samuel G. Brooker, who wero con victed of robbing the city as the result of tho recent city hall investigation, were sentenced to the penitentiary for four years each by Judge Stono, in tho criminal court.

Don's Itevlew Conlder More of the First Quarter Features of Trade Treated. New York, April 1 R. G. Dnn A Co.'s weekly review of trade, issued to day, said in part: Only twice in 25 years would such failures as those of the first quarter of 1900 have seemed largo. They are largo compared with last year and 1898, aud would have looked larger in 1888. The amount of liabilities, 5Q,mT,, in cludes 2 1.1 01, 000 for the United States Flour Milling company and $3,490,482 for 16 banks and other financial corpora tions, leaving 2,894 commercial failures, with $33,022,572 liabilities. Actual de faults in manufacturing are smaller than in the first quarter of any other year ex cept 1899 since classified failures began, as are trading liabilities. Quarterly reviews today show that, ontsidothe immediate effects of stock speculation and industrial consolida tions, the volume of business has been larger this year than a year ago. A little increase in foreign exports of wheat from Atlantic ports, floor in cluded, 2,268,022, bushels against 2,074, 769 last year, served as occasion for a little rise, but the gain was lost later, and the week closes unchanged. Pacifio exports were 1,025,125 bushels against 892,876 last year. Corn exports, 3,695, 915 bushels, against 8,412,480 last year, for the week Bhowed not much greater gain, while receipts were over 1,000,000 bnshess larger than last year, but the price rose l,1 cents. While supplies re maining are comparatively small, slight changes in movement affect prices much. Business in woolens is also somewhat unsatisfactory, with cancellations com paratively numerous, aud orders smaller than were expected. The sinking in prices of wool continues, from cent to 1 cent more having been conceded this week at three chief markets have been only 3,91)3,603 pounds, and the ab sence of manufacturers from dealings still has its natural effoct. Tho steel sheet consolidation, with Presidont McMurtry of the Apollo works, at the head, promises great im portance. If this, the tinplate, hoop and National Steel works make alliance with tho Carnegie company, as is re ported, tho whole industry will sooner or later be affoefc-d. For the present no change appears in the prices of pig, and only slightly more yiolding in plates aud bars to secure more business. But many now con tracts are reportod, including ouo pur chase of rails for exjxirt, aud the situa tion is generally moro hopeful. Tho out put of coke continues much the largest ever known. Failures for tho week were 159 in tho United States, against 141 last year, and 29 in Canada, against 17 last year. BOUND TO SUPPOET COLONEL BEYAN. Pennsylvania Democrats Instruct For the Kebraskan aud Hind Delegation to Vote as Unit. Harrisihtho, April 6.

NEWS FROM THE PHILIPPINES. General Young, commanding in North Luzon, made several requests for rein forcements, representing that his force was inadequate, that the men were ex hausted by the necessity of constant vigilance, that he was unable to garrison the towns in his jurisdiction, that the insurgents were returning to tho district aud killing the amigos, and that it was necessary for him to inflict punishment in several sections before the rainy sea son began. General James Bell, who is in com mand in Southern Luzon, made similar representations. He said his forces were inadequate, and that he merely held a few towns, without controlling he ter ritory. Tho president of the town of Samal, province of Bataar, Luzon, aud another prominent native, were assassinated be cause they were known to be friendly to the Americans. Tho presidont of another town joined the insurgents because they threatened to kill him if he did not. General Elwell S.

On Wednesday, a lively and interest ing discussion of the status of tho Quay cose occurred in the senate, in the course of which Mr. Wolcott apologized for the language ho had used Tuesday, disclaiming any intention of being of fensive to anybody, least of all Mr, Lodge. Tho Colorado senator made a vehement and eloqnent appeal for early action upon tho Quay case. He was supported by other friends of Mr. Quay, and it was docidod finally to take np the case Thursday, under the unanimous consent arrangement made on March 1.
