PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
Freemasons and Others Arrested for
Seeking Independence-Cubans
Tearing Up Railway Tracks.

MADRID. Aug. 21.-An official dispatch
from Manila announces the discovery in
the Philippine Islands of a separatist con-
spiracy, the object being to secure indie
pendence from Spain. According to the
official advices twenty-one persons have al
ready been arrested, several being Free
masons. The news has caused great eX-
element in Madrid and the police in con-
sequence tonight raided the Hispano
Philippine Club and seized a large quantity
of papers.
While commenting on the outbreak in the
Philippine islands in the Senate to-day
Senior Castellano, the Minister of the Col
onies, read several kilograms from the
governor of the islands. Captain General
r. Blanco. These kilograms were to the
effect that the conspirators aimed TO secure
the complete independence of the Philippine
islands. Senator MonterO Rico declared
that the Liberal party was prepared to sup
port all just measures necessary for the
maintenance of the Spanish integrity.
Nearly all of the opposition leaders in the
chamber made similar promises.
Madrid papers received at New York this
week contained frequent expressions indi-
eating that a revolt in the Philippine ISL
ands might be expected in the near future.
IT was even suggested by some OF the pa
perS that Japan was endeavoring to foment
trouble in that part of the Spanish posses
sions for the purpose of extending the jur-
isdiction of her island empire over the
Philippines. The Philippine islands lie only
about go miles south of the newly ac-
quired Japanese possessions of Formosa. a

readers. has made a statement In reply
TO the last confession of Miss Overman.
i'm which she says that the charges which
she originally made against DIR. Brown
and which she subsequently said were
false are in reality founded on facts. DR..
Brown d%enounces the entire story as one
of blackmail and says that the fact that
Miss 0verman now admits that she testi-
fed falsely should prove her unworthy of
the slightest evidence. He says. 1.-The
public should remember that Miss Over
man wrote offering to have Mrs. Tunnel
make an affidavit in my favor if i would
pay n large sum for 1t, but that my en-
cmies were ready TO pay well
for a story against me and that they
should sell such a story unless i
would pay their price. This is just what
they have done. OF course. those who have
been willing TO pay 500 or loo for such a
story were shrewd enough to see
that its value would be increased
by being recited TO the conference. l do
not accuse members of the conference of
making such a bargain. Whoever paid the
money. however. told Miss Overman she
must get her story before that body. But
why should the conference listen TO Miss
Overman? They affirmed again and again
less. because she was a discredited woman.

that she is a perjurer? II she was discred-

NEW YORK. Aug. q. - The American

nearly half a million dollars. is calling i'm all

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.-It is expected
that the Postofice Department will issue
an order i'm a few days materially reduc-
ing the letter carrier force in all the cities
throughout the country. The Postmaster
general has already prepared the schedules
showing the number of men to be dis
missed or furlougned at the various places.
1t is intended to cut down the force every
where without discrimination. If a distinc-
ton is made in any case il will be in favor
of the smaller cities where the force of
carriers is already as small as Is con-
sitsent with proper service.
Chief Machen, of the letter carriers
division, said to-day: THE names of the
carriers to be dropped will be announced
next week. The forces in all the larger
cities will be reduced. We are compelled
to take this step because of the failure OF
Congress to appropriate the money we ask
for the pay of letter carriers. We shall
be very careful in making up the lists for
dismissal and the records of the carriers
will i'm every case be considered. No city
will be Disseminated against, because 1t
Is our aim to make the reduction in every
city as light as possible. There need, OF
course. be no fear of a wholesale dismissal
anywhere"

Democrat working for sound Money,
PIPE LINE.
They Order &5OO,OOO Worth of Six-
Inch Tubing.

CHICAGO. Aug. 21.-The Times-Herald
says: Michael and John Cudahy. wealthy
packers of this city. have catered into an
oil deal of enormous proportions. If their
present plans materialize. Chicago is to
have a new industry, a rival Of the great
plant of the Standard Oil Company at
Whiting and the first pipe line from the
oil fields to enter it's limits. The Cudahys
have purchased in Wells and Adams coun-
ties, Indiana, the entire plant and wells OF
the Northern Indiana Oil Company. What
price was paid is not known. but the pur-
chase was made more than a year ago and
the fact has only just leaked out in the
commercial circles of the city.
Following this purchase. they have this
week placed with the National Tube and
Pipe Company. of Pittsburg. a 100000 order
for six-inch oil pipes. How big the order
IS may be appreciated when IL covers pipes
for an underground oil line 40 miles in
length and extending from the oil fields to
Chicago. With the tankage which they Will
erect In Indiana and the refining plant and
tanks needed at the Chicago end il is esti-
mated that their investment. aside from
the original purchase price. will represent
81, 500. 000.

To the Editor of the indianapolis journal:
The statement by the Building and Loan
Association Commission, as published In the
daily papers some days ago.. does great in
justice to the Indiana Mutual Building and
Loan Association. The figures as given out
by the commission are as follows Re-
ceipts, S723. 143.01; expenses. SCI. 219-3s. making
the ratio of expenses to receipts Al per
cent. They should have been as foilows-
Receipts, $723, 1891; expenses, 81. &c., "a.
making the ratio of expenses 10 receipts
only 90 per cent instead of AZ per cent
The corrections of the figures as given by
us can be verified by any one who will
take the pains to examine the published
official report of the Auditor of State or the
sworn report on file in his office. The
error of 81. $50. % against the association was
probably due to a clerical error on the part
Of the commission.

known thief entered the branch Of the
American Bank during the momentary alb
sence of the cashier. opened a desk and
secured 81. goo or more in currency and made
his escape. Two hundred dollars in silver
was untouched by the robbers. The act
was most bold and was apparently COM
mitted by some one familiar with the
premises. The bank is situated in a busy
portion of the place, making the robbery
more daring.
f. r. Boswell. cashier and teller. opened
the bank shortly after Q o'clock. After
counting several thousand dollars taken
from the safe he remembered he had a
message to deliver to a ~neighboring bust
ness house. He h1rriedly returned the
bulk OF the money to the safe

hall from the bank sat j. r. Stoller. presi-

probably with 6 small bar, taken what cur
rency he could easily carry and. carefully
closing the receptacle. departed. The exact
amount taken is not known and may ex-
coed $1,000.
In a very few minute detectives were at
the buil'ing making a careful survey of
the preElises. When the robbery was COM

over me desl. and he did not notice the
man this morning leave the office OF the
