ARRESTED james Green, of this
city, was captured Monday night by
the city police, after cleverly e.ud-
ing the officers for several months.
The last charge against Green is for
stoning baggage master Jerry O'Neal
at the b. 4 0. station. Since that
time there has been a still search for
him constantly, but knowing that he
was wanted he was ever on the alert,
and although seen by the bluecoats
frequently, their efforts to catch him
we're unsuccessful. Monday morn
ing be was arraigned before Mayor
Henshaw and sentenced to imprisoD-
ment in the county Jail for a term oil
thirty days. Green has served a
number of terms in the county Jail,
and it does not seem to serve as any
punishment at all for him. Then
again he is shrewd enough to com
nit only crimes that are not suffi.
cient to hold him for court.

SAN FRANcIsco Oct 2O.-Advices by
the steamer Peru, frsm Singapore and
Hongkong say that the rebellion in the
Philippine islands is much more serious
than has been generally recognized. IL is
said the reports of revOlutionists' defeats
sent out by Spanish officers have been
greatly exaggerated, and that so far the
rebels have more than held their own in
the struggle for Independence. It is stated
the revolution is now beyond the control
of the Spanish authorities and that unless
e-enforcements are sent to Manila immo.
diately the Spanish forces are in danger of
final defeat. The rebels now hold the
province Of Cavite, are we'll organized and
have s, 900 mauzer rifles. There are many
natives in the Spanish troops, and the Off
GERS are afraid to take native regiments
into the interior because their loyalty Is
doubted.
The Hongkong Press says editorially
that there Is no longer room for tho least
doubt that affairs in the Philippine islands
Will in a short time assume the proper
tions Of the Cuban rebellion The natives
are determined. AS each rebol signs an
agreement he writes his name sa his arm
with blood and swears vengeance against
the Spaniards.
The original plan for striking the blow
was most serious one. For long time
the natives have been conspiring to over
power the government, and it was finally
decided TO make strong attack on the
18th OF July. Governor General Blanco
was to have been murdered by one Of the
natives on that day, and it was arranged
TO swoop suddenly down upon the body
Of officers who attended the funeral kill
as many as possible, then ransack the
town Of Manila and take full possession
Of the place. IL is due to a woman that
the plot was discovered. IN confession she
disclosed the plot to priest, who divulg-
cd The secret. The arrest and imprison-
ment of many natives plninly indicated

when he pleased. Consul General Lee
was greatly enraged at the threat to sink
tho Vigilancia and is reported to have
said to Captain Mcintosh;
IF the guns Of MORO castle sink your
ship American warships will be bonn
harding Havana in a few days. -
Captain Mcintosh returned to the Wig
ilancia, and Consul Leo informed Weyler
that the vessel was going to sea and That
II any attempt was made to take off Fer
nandez, or that If the vessel was fred
upon, Spain must take the consequences.
McIntosh's Vigorous Language.
Weyler Immediately summoned cabi-
net council and while this council was
considering the matter the Nigilanoia be-
gan to weigh anchor. The Spanish Off
oials ON board protested but Captain Nc
Intosh said in vigorous language tho let
ter states: oh your obiections My
ship has been cleared. My consul has told
me to 60 sea. l am going, and dare you
to try to prevent me. Get off my ship"
And with that the Yankee roughly showed
the Spaniards into the waiting boats, and
the Vigilancia, flying the stars and stripes,
started for the mouth of the harbor, which
is commanded by the guns of Moro cas-
tie. All was excitement in Havana, and
the quay and housetops were lined with
hundreds Of persons. who expected to see
the Vigilanoia fired upon.
Consul Lee himself watched the Wig
ilancia through glass. Meanwhile sig
mails were being exchanged between Wey-
ler's palace and MORO castle, and in the
latter place there were signs of great ex-
oitement Slowly the Vigilancia entered
the mouth OF the harbor and then It was
noticed that the guns of MORO castle
were turned on the ship. The Vigilanoia
repeatedly signaled MORO castle, II am
going to sea, but no answer came from
the fort until the vessel was in blue water,
and then the Spaniards ran up the signal
which means "Goodby.'
1t is said that Weyler is furious over
the departure Of the vessel and Consul
Lees course. 1t is stated that Weyler or
dered the commander of MORO castle to
sink the Vigilancia, but at the last mo-
ment he yielded to the entreaties of his
cabinet and countermanded the order.
The episode caused more Excitement in
Havana than anything since the beginning
of the war

Hay, who was President Lincoln's private
secretary, visited Major Mckinley yester-
day. He expressed his surprise at the
campaign as he has personally viewed IL
and has read it. There has never boon
anything like It, he says Probably the
nearest approach to Il was the campaign
OF Mr.. Lincoln when the nominee received
at his own homo large number OF visis-
ors. But they did not come in any such
RPmbers as they are coming to Canton,
and Nr Lincoln made no speeches. "n
has always been regarded unsafe for a
presidential candidate to discuss public
questions, " continued Colonel Hay, "but
Major Mckinley, in all his speeches, has
not uttered a wrong word or made mis-
take and has added greatly to the strength
Of the Republican cause every day.
