INSURGENTS MAY MAKE TROUBLE
Leaders are Urging an Attack on
Manila


Leaders are Urging an Attack on
Manila
Manila. Sept 13.-Persstent rumorS
are in circulation that the idea of m.
lacking the city is gaining strength
among the rebels, and it is asserted
that some of the leaders are boldly
urging such a plan Owing to these
reports Gen. Otis has been taking pre-
cautions to prevent the possibility of
such rising. He has dispatched
strong detachmentS of the American
troops to occupy strategic positions in
the suburbs The work of disarming
the Filipinos is being carried on with
even greater energy than before in
view of the new developments. | do
not think. however, that any attack by
the Filipinos is probable. Such A
course at this time, when the fate of
the Philippines will soon be the sub
iect of discussion at the Paris con-
ference, would be suicidal. Any at
tack the rebels could make with the
forces they could muster now would
be almost certain to be ineffective.
Aguinaldo, despite his efforts to forti-
fy the position he has assumed as
dictator" is beyond doubt losing con
troll of the lawleSS spirits among the
natives Residents of Manila are rot
at all alarmed by these reports of the
intention of the rebels The admins
tration of Gen. Merritt prior to his de-
parture for Paris, and the course
taken by Gen. Otis since he has as
sumed command have convinced the
inhabitants of Manila that they can
live i'll complete security under the
protection of the Americans.
London, Sept. 13.-The Manila CORE
spondent of the Times says: The tn
surgent conquest of the island of Lu-
Zon is rapidly approaching completion.
Recent authentic reports announce the
capture of successive Spanish posi-
tions, and at present the rebels con-
troll every foot of the island except
Manila. Cavite and a small portion Of
the province of Albay. They hold over
5000 Spanish prisoners and have re-
Gently captured several thousand
rifles, some cannon, a large quantity
of ammunition and several small
armed steamships. The SpaniardS
held out vigorously but were fighting
against the inevitable. 1t is undenia-
BILE that the action of the insurgents
in pursuing the campaign after an
armistice was declared has caused
much useless suffering and destruction
of property and has annihilated their
every claim to be considered in any
respect as the allies of the Americans.
Their motive has been twofold, first,
an implacable hatred of the Spaniard,
with an mate racial thirst for revenge,
and secondly, their wish to place
themselves on record before the world
as a successful revolutionary govern
ment and as complete masters of the
Luzon provinces and as many ada
cent islands as they may have time TO
occupy before the Philippine question
is settled by the Paris commission
They are now free to withdraw their
troops to make an expedition against
Panan and to capture Iloilo.

Geneva, SwitZ., Sept. Is. = The en-
press of Austria was asSaSSinated at
the Hotel Beaurivage by an anarchist,
who was arrested. He stabbed her
majesty with Il stilettO. Her majesty
was walking from her hotel to the
landing place of the steamer, when an
Italian anarchist suddenly approached
and stabbed her to the heart. The
empress fell, got up again and was
carried to the steamer unconscious
The boat started but, seeing the en-
press had not recovered consciousness,
the captain returned and the empress
was carried to the hotel. where she eX-
pired. The murderer is Nameel LUG
cheni. He was born in Paris, Of ltal-
ian parents.
Another account says: After having
been stabbed from behind, the en-
press rose and walked on board the
steamer, where she fell, fainting. The
captain did not wish to put off from
the quay, but did so at the request of
the empress and her suite, there being
no apprehension that she was serious
ly hurt. The steamer was turned
back from the open lake, and the en-
press, unconscious, was carried to the
hotel on a stretcher Greve fears are
expressed regarding the effect which
the assassination may have upon the
emperor, whose health has never re-
covered from the blow of Crown
Prince Rudolph's tragic death, and it
is known that his majesty lately has
been very feeble. The stretcher upon
which the empress was carried to the
hotel was hastily imprOviced with
oars and sail cloth. Doctors and
priests were
hmm ediateIy Summoned,
and a telegram was sent to Emperor
Francis Joseph. All efforts to revive
her majesty were unavailing. The
medical examination showed that the
assassin must have used small tr1-
angular file. After striking the blow
he ran along the Rue DIES Alps with
the evident intention of entering the
Square DIES Alps, but before reaching
it he was seized by two cabmen who
had witnessed the crime. They hand
ed him over to a bOatman and a
gendarme, who conveyed him to the
police station. The prisoner made no
resistance. He even sang as he walked
along, caying: 81 did it and she must
be dead" At the police station he de-
clared that he was starving an
archist, with no hatred for the poor
but only for the rich" The aSSaSSiOn
told the magistrate that he came to
Geneva in order to asSasSinate "anoth-
er important person." but had been I'M
able to execute the project The fed
eral authorities had been Informed of
the visit of the empress and they no
titled the governors of the cantons the
RI lot inc trtIH fi n ~
them to take special police measures
for her comfort and safety if it ap-
peared necessary. They were not in
formed of her majesty's intention to
visit Geneva, nor were the local au-
thorities aware of her presence there,
as she was travelling incognito.

Surprising as the development of
electricity in practical ways has been
during the past twenty years it re-
ouires a statistical exhibition of the
subject, particularly on the financial
side, to furnish an adequate picture Of
this progress, says Bradstreet's. A re-
cent examination of the subject fur
nishes some interesting details. For
instance, it is stated that as recently
as 1884 the total investment in cleo
trical appliances throughout the Uni
ted States did not aggregate much
over $1,000, 900, while at the present
time the total capitalization of cleo
trical railroad, lighting and other con-
Germs is put down as fully $1,000, 0OO,-
600 The $4,000 miles of electrical rail-
roads which exist today in the United
States represent capitalization, at it's
par value, of about $1.000,000, 900, while
the electric lighting stations and
plants in the country are believed to
represent an investment of fully $780,
1000 900. the capital involved in the tel
Iephone business and all its ramifica-
lions being placed at not less than
S1OO,OOO,OOO.

spiritualistic seance. Foster, the pre-

the revelations were astounding. Gre
willie sat silent. and his aged, wizened
face was as emotionless as a mask.
Suddenly the medium grew excited,
and said to the old gentleman:

Oh, the extraordinary likeness!"

"She lifts her hands to bless YOU
