GEN. 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.

Breaking of Duiu and Flood, Somewhat
Similar to Disaster at Joliustown, Pa.
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.

Robert E. Pattison was interviewed re
garding the story telegraphed from Chi
cago to tho effect that preparations are
under way to boom him for the vice
presidential nomination on tho Demo
cratic ticket. 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

THE FAILUEES ANALYZED.
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.

Pennsylvania Democrats Instruct For the
Kebraskan aud Hind Delegation
to Vote as Unit.
Harrisihtho, April 6. Tho 64 dele
gates from Pennsylvania to the national
Democratic convention ot Kansas City
were instructed by the state convention
to support William J. Bryan for presi
dent. They are bound by tho unit rule
and cannot change to any other presi
dential aspirant, unless by a majority
vote of the delegation. The platform
strongly endorses Bryan's candidacy;
denounces the war policy of the McKin
ley administration and advocates nu
merous state reforms. Except for a
slight breeze over the contest from Dau
phin, Luzerne and Philadelphia the con
vention was a quiet aud harmonious
gathering. The committee on creden
tials reported in favor of tho sitting dele
gates and its action was approved by the
convention, at Harrisburg.
The following ticket was nominated:
