is not likely to be far amiss. The one
recalled by the Pittsburg Dispatch is
told Of a town in Massachusetts about a

were quiet and satisfactory. excepting
for one thing. The election officers found
great difficulty in classifying one vote.
1t was that of the Rev DR.. C., the
pastor of the most popular church in the
place. The announcement Of the result

Only a few moments before the incident
occurred he had been lecturing a con-

and total abstinence. Hanging upon his
arm at this time was a lightweight over
coat, and his hand WIS tightly gripped
around the handle of small leather
satchel. One of the bellboys grabbed the
overcoat and satchel simultaneously for
the purpose of taking them up to Mr.
Ransom's room. In his haste the bellboy
tripped and fell on the floor and sus-
picious-looking black bottle slipped out of
one of the OvercOat pockets and was
smashed into thousand pieces on the

AGU|NALDO CALLED DOWN
BROUGHT TO TERMS BY
CONSUL WILDMAN.
Has Promised to Cooperate With
the Americans For the Purpose
of Defeating the Spanish.

HONGKONG, July 3.-As I
telegraphed on June goth, it was
rumored that Sandico the head
and real brains of the Philippine
.junta, had left for Manila on the
steamer Zafro. 1t is now known
that he was sent by Consul Wild
man to remind General Aguinaldo
of his promise to fight with the
single object of encompassing the
downfall of Spanish rule, and with
out Interior the project of indepen-
dence.
Consul Williams, as we'll as Wild
man, feared serious future compli-
cations, owing to the success which
Aguinaldo was obtaining having
had the effect of turning the Cen
rails head.
When Sandico arrived at Cavite
and impaired his mission to Agui-
naldo the latter promptly ordered
his arrest as a traitor, but on the
demand of Consul Williams, Sand
leo was released and sent to Nan
shan. Williams was backed by
Dewey, who championed Sandico's
cause and Williams policy. A
vigorous representation by the
American authorities brought Agui-
nalo to terms. He acknowledged
that he was wrong and promised
cooperation instead of independent
action. The firmness of the Ameri-
can officials prevented a serious
breach and has firmly established
the policy of annexation.
The insurgent cabinet is very
anxious that Wildman aud Williams
should be in the commission to or
game the provisional government.
The Cabinet fears that new men
will not understand them or the
local situation.
