DIsGRApEFUL TROLLEY SCENES
Young Rowdfes Terrorfze Bayonne
Car Passengers.

The disgraceful scenes which are en-
acted nightly on the Bayonne trolley
cars serve to make the more timid people
afraid to ride on them. At times respect
able people have to get off and walk or
sit there and listen to curses and the worst
possible slang, which these young toughs
are not one bit backward in using The
conductors. too, have a very hard time
collecting fares from these people. and
when asking for them are often met with
a volley of vile words and are sometimes
threatened with violence. These loafers
never travel alone, but in groups OF ten
or a dozen.
s1The News" last week published an ac-
count of the doings of these people, but
they were nothing in comparison to that
which took place last night. At that hour
of the evening the company runs cars
only every half hour up till one O'Clock
when they are run at intervals of an
hour the rest of the night. AT Fifty
second street, Bayonne, a crowd of about
one hundred Were waiting to board a
trolley car last evening about eleven
oclock. When the car came to a stop the
was peaceful until the conductor went
to collect fares. Then the toughs started
to pull the trolley off the wire, ring the
bell and use outrageous language When
to collect fares four young toughs refused
to pay, and 1t was not until the conductor
threatened % have them arrested that
night, especially on Saturday night, when
the resorts along the shore are closed at
midnight, causing the people to leave in
crowds and the conductors often have
crowd of over one hundred of these
young rowdies to put up with.
In Brooklyn the Traction Companies
have special officers along the line for
just such occurrences as these, and there
is no good reason why the Traction Com
pany in this city should not do the same.

TACOMA, Wash, June 26 1S97.--Advices
received by steamer Victoria, which ar
rived yesterday, brings the following news
of the Philippine rebellion. A large band
of insurgents who left Cavite have
reached the neighborhood of Manila, and
on May Is were within an hours, drive
of the Capital This was after Com
mander-in-Ch Rivers had published his
latest proclamation declaring the rebel
lion ended and offering pardon to the
insurgents.
Late Yokohama papers received today
print a letter written from the rebel
camp at Balinkupsang, near Manila, on
May Is. The writer asserts that during
the campaign just ended the Spanish have
lost no less than 4,700 men killed and
mortally wounded.
The rebels started with but nine efficient
guns. while now they have nearly 10000
captured Mauser and Remington rifles.
Three important towns had just risen in
rebellion one in Tambales, another in
Tavabas and one in the Isle de Negre,s.
Many cases of gross malversation have
recently been reported in Japanese com
mercial circles, the largest being the nys-
terious disappearance Of about 1.OOpO0O
yen from the funds of the Osaka Manu-
featuring Company.
The shareholders will be compelled to
make good the company's indebtedness,
and this, says the Yokohama "Adver-
tiser," will probably involve many of
them in ruin.

AMBULANCE DRILL.
Captain Inglis Trains His Men
In the Open-Creditable
Work.

The State Ambulance Corps held a pub
lie drill last night at the northwest cor
ner of Belmont avenue and the Boulevard
in the presence of nearly 1000 persons.
Fourteen men under the command of
Sergeants Forshay and Joel participated
in the drill. They arrived at the scene of
operations at 7:30 O'Clock The State am
bulance, drawn by two horses, was
already on the ground. Captain Roy In
glis was on hand to criticize and instruct
where it was necessary.
The field proved an admirable spot for
the drill. 1t is full of deep holes and
other obstacles, which gave the men an
opportunity to show how well they have
mastered the obstacle drill
The men divided and took their posi-
tions at two ends of the field. Two or
three men were selected as the victims to
pc operated on. At signal from Ser
ground The litter squads Immediately
rushed to them and carried them to the
ambulance; For the first time since the
reorganization, the men had actual prac-
tiee in the ambulance drill, which is
somewhat difficult, and consists not only
N Sild1ng in the patient but in unpacking
Ine IIle stretchers and arranging the bedding.
When the victim had been placed in the
ampulance he was taken to the operating
Laple on which he was placed. The am
oulance paraphernalia was then repacked
geons began their work. Sergeant For
shay would designate the nature of the
i.maglnary injury and the men would go
70 work just as if on an actual field of
pattle They bandaged the thigh of one
man which had been fractured, set a
broken shoulder and treated a bad hem
orrhage with another. Not a splint or a
6andage was neglected, and the work was
gone Just as thoroughly and neatly as if
" were a case actually requiring the SER
wees OF surgeon. The Spectators were
denghted with the drill and Captain In
gllS expressed himself as we'll pleased
played.
1T is my purpose, he said. s.to give
tnem some practical field experience Ur
10 the present time their work has been
purely theoretical This is the first drill
they have had in the open and with
the ambulance
The State Ambulance Corps had run
down considerably when Captain Inglis
was placed in command a year ago The
men had grown careless and Indifferent
and the corps had fallen far below the
standard which Surgeon General McGill
mad set for it. Now it is considered
second to none in the United
states Captain Inglis has weeded out
eighteen of the old members who were a
drag on the corps and has added new ones
in their places. The corps now has a
who are all well advanced in the SER
vice of surgery. When they have
finished the course which Captain Inglis
has mapped out for them they will each
one be qualified for the position of a
hospital steward Captain Inglis hopes
to have full complement of sixty men
in the corps by next winter.
