8 RIOTOUS UNITED STATES SOLDIERS. Nearly Two Hundred Men Are Now Under Arrest In Connection With the Trouble Just Out side the Presidio Sunday Night, All Efforts to Discover the Names of the Recruits Who Set Fire to Rehfeld's Saloon so Far Un • availing, the Soldiers Declining to Peach on the Ringleaders. SAN FRANCISCO, April 17— There ■were no new developments to-day in; the trouble which occurred at the Presidio Reservation last night. Every effort is being made to ascertain the real cul prits in the riotous proceeding, and nearly 200 men. mostly recruits, are under arrest, pending further investiga tion. The timely arrival of Lieutenant Harris with a squad of soldiers and a number of policemen doubtless prevent ed more serious trouble, possibly mur der. The trouble, so Tar as can be ascer tained, started in the saloon of Adolph Rehfeld, when* several soldiers who had gathered there commenced a-discussion of the Cuban campaign. One of the soldiers, Charles L. King, claimed to have been in the Cuban campaign, and on being questioned became badly mixed up in his storyf and one of the interrogators called him a liar, and, was punched for his remark. This started a general fight, in which the man who represented himself as being a returned soldier from Cuba re ceived a terrible drubbing. He was compelled to go to hospital, and it was soon noised about that he was dead. His comrades gathered in excited groups, and determined to wreak vengeance on the establishment of Reh feld, to which place they repaired, armed with cobblestones and clubs. A well-directed stone crashed through the thin walls of the saloon and nearly struck Rehfeld. who rushed from the place, only to be met by a shower of missiles. Sighting a policeman. Rehfeld ran for his assistance. The officer hurried to the scene and tried to disperse the sol diers, who by this time had beeni worked Into a fury. The soldiers commenced an assauiit on the peace officer, and he was soon disabled, and had to be car ried to a near-by house. More police men arrived, and order was temporarily restored, and word was sent to the Pre sidio for aid. Lieutenant Harris or dered the call to arms, and Troop B of the Fourth Cavalry and Company L of the Twenty-fourth infantry responded. In the meantime the riot had broken out again, and when, the soldiers under I-ieuttnant Harris arrived on the scene they found the l>uilding occupied by Reh. feld's saloon, his brother's barber shop and the tailor shop of A. Goldberg in nanws. The soldiers were inviting the police to enter a contest of aims, and pandemonium reigned. Lieutenant Harris ordered his men to surround the belligerents, and in a few minutes they were all under arrest, and were taken to the Presidio guardhouse, where an investigation was immedi ately commenced. The soldiers were not disiwsed to name the ringleaders, and further investigation was deferred until to-day. Lati in the day the investigating offi cers discovered the culprits who so un mercifully beat King. They are known as Clark, "Shorty" and Miller. So far all efforts to disc-over the perpetrators of the incendiarism have been unavail ing. Over l!N»men have been examined, but very little information has been ob tained .si* far. The saloon-keeper. Adolph Rehfeld, his brother, and Go>ldl>erg. the tailor, have been summoned to appear before the board of inquiry. Rehfeld, the sa loon man. feels certain that he can identify the ringleaders, but is afraid to do so for fear that the soldiers will do him some bodily injury. He has been assured of protection, and is now looked upon to make some startling dis closures. The saloon man. the barber anjd the tailor, whose shops were destroyed by the fire, will take immediate steps to get compensation for their losses. The Government officers have not yet takf-n official cognizance of the breach of discipline committed by the soldiers who burned Rehfold's saloon, near the Presidio, on Sunday night. Their pres ent purpose is merely to assist the civil authorities in the effort to locate and arrest the persons guilty of arson AT OUR...

For damage done outside of the Presidio or for the commision of illegal acts off the reser vation the participants In Sunday night's disturbance are subject to the civil authorities;" WM.

Some of the men named are Demo crats and some are Republicans. The majority report is signed by five of the nine members of the committee. The minority report reaches substan tially the same conclusions as the ma jority report. It, however, relieves from censure some of the persons who were named f,cr rebuke by the majority report, and ,& recommends "that the testimony of and against Messrs. Coyle, Costello, Evans. Moyles.

LONDON, April 18.—The -Daily Chronicle" publishes this morning an interview Vith Lieutenant General Sir Andrew Clarke, agent general for Vic toria and Tasmania, and former Gov ernor and Commander in Chief of the Straits Settlements, regarding Ameri can policy in the Philippines.

The Americans, in his opinion, should first discover Aguinaldo's sources of supply, and then turn these into agen cies of trade for the settlement of the country. ' Underlying everything," says S : r An drew,' "must be the good will of the natives.

CANTON, April 17—The State con cluded its direct testimony against Mrs. George at :5:25 o'clock this after ntot},-ind., the defense will- now have its inning. There was a strong intimation to-day that the-iines of defence will be tem porary Insanity—emotional insanity. This came from the bench in a decision admitting testimony bearing on the re lations between the accused' and Saxton dating back asi far as the '80s. The Judge announced that these rela tions were admissible if insanity is to be the defense, or if insanity is to be in any degree relied upon as part of the defense. They were further admissible, he said, on the ground of the premedi tation or deliberation, and also because the State has shown some of the rela tions between Saxton, Mrs. George and Mrs. Althouse. This decision also opens the doors for all of what has heretofore been re garded as doubtful testimony. The de fense is now permitted to show all of the relations existing between Saxton and Mrs. George, and this will involve the litigation in which Sample C. George, the former husband, is cos cerned. It is further inferred that the ruling will permit the State in rebuttal to go into similar testimony regarding the former life of the accused, and the ef fect will be, as now viewed, materially to lengthen the proceedings.

A Very Much Needed Worker. Very delicate particles of soda ap pear in field grains such as used by mankind. The use made of natural soda or Sodium Sulphate, is to oxidize the sugar in the body, thereby decompos ing it and making it suitable for re building the cells and preserving the bile and pancreatic juices at normal consistency. When a person fails to use food con taining this important little worker,, the sugar in the body is not properly cared for and seeks escape through the kid neys, causing Diabetes. A lack of the Sodium Sulphate is also shown by bil iousness, for the bile becomes thick when its little governor is absent; So dium Sulphate is not readily taken up by the body when given as a drug, but is quickly absorbed when furnished in Nature's way as stored in food, and in that way it is found in Grape-Nuts, the most scientifically prepared food made by man. Why? Because in Grape- Nuts the pure natural elements needed by man are perserved and presented fresh from Nature's own laboratory. !
