emphatically declaring that tlie capture

MANILA, April l.-Interest In the cap
ture mid fate of Aguinaldo is well nigh
overslindowed in Manila by sensational
developments, present and prospective,
of frauds in the commissary department.
How widely these extend has not yet
been ascertained, but enough is already
known to justify the belief that they are
f;ir-reuchlng.
Captain Frederick .1. Rarrows of the
Thirtieth volunteer Infantry, quartiTinas
tcr of the department nf Southern Luzon,
seven commissary sergeants, several civil
inn clerks, a pn minciit government con
tractor, the i -istant malinger of the Ho
tel Oriento, the proprietors of three of
the largest bakeries ill Maniin, a number
of storekeepers and other persons, have
been arrested.
The Investigation has scarcely begun,
but thousands of sacks of flour, a quan
tity of bacon and WRgonlonds of other
goods, all bcaiiug government marks,
have been' found in the possession of
unauthorized pi 1 sons.
It is alleged that the contractor In
question, who has been doing a business
approximating If 1 1X1,1 sup per month, lint
spent huge sums in entertaining olllcers.
A prominent crmmissnry ohicer is ac
cused of leading a scandalous add Im
moral life. It is asserted that large
quantities of stores have been lost or
stolen in transit, and also that there Is
a shortage ill the commissary depot.
New scandals arc developed daily. Il
licit transactions bave been traced to
June. l'.KK). and it is possible that there
are others of earlier date.
