TROUBLE BEGINS.
Cabinet Fears an Outbreaks by
AruinaIdo's FfIfp1nos.

AHuina1dO'S F1Itp1nos'
WASHINGTON, Nov 2S.-The gov
ernment has been officially advised Of
the successful termination of the peace
nogotiations with Spain. A cablegram
to this effect, which had been received
from Chairman Day, was read at to-
DAYS cabinet meeting by the secretary
Of state. BY the terms OF the treaty,
which will be signed during the pres
ent week, Spain surrenders to the Unit
ed States her sovereignty in the Philip
pine islands and Guam island, one OF
the Ladnone group. In lieu or all
claims for indemnity, tbs United states
will pay Spain the sum Of $40, ,00O, GOO in
gold, or ITS equivalent. Before return
ing to the United States our Paris COM
r,1isstoners will secure from the Spanish
representatives If possible, q PROPOSE
ton for the sale to the United states
of the Strong island, one OF the Caro-
line group, Some distance east ana
scuth of Luzon, for cable station
Should Spain, however, decline to sell
the island, for a reasonable sum, the
matter will be dropped, for the present,
at least. The possible oeSsion OF this
island is not involved in the pending
treaty, and no pressure will be brought
to bear to induce Spain to part with
It.
A large part OF Une Time Oh tOuay .
cabinet meeting was consumed in the
discussion of the new customs tariff
which is to be put into operation In adj
parts of Cuba, as soon as the United
States takes formal possession.
The apprehension which manifested
itself some time ago over the attitude
of Aguinaldo and the Philippine insur-
gents has not entirely disappeared,
though the administration believes
they viii accept the situation without
a conflict with the United States. The
matter was discussed at the meeting
today, and some of the views express
ed indicated a possibility that the in
surgergts may yet have to be dealt with.
On the whole, however, the president
expects that serious trouble with Agui-
naldo will be avoided, but at the same
time has guarded against an outbreak
by taking precautionary measures. The
American force already in occupancy
of part OF nhe Philippines is regard
ell as altogether adequate to cope with
any emergency that may arise. The
future government of the islands came
up. incidentally. and Secretary Alger
made some suggestions as to details OF
military governments Of the islands.

FATAL POLITICAL RIOT
ONE MAN KILLED AND SEVERAL
SERIOUSLY INJURED AT
CHICAGO
CLUB ELECTION THE CAUSE

or the Trouble, which Is Said TO
Have Lasted Only a Few Mo-
ments-RivaI Republican Fac
tons Tried to Control the Same
COnvention-No Arrests Made.
CHICAGO, Nov. ze.-An attempt to
break up the annuei meeting of the
Eighteenth Ward Republican club at
Bricklayers' hall, at Peoria and West
Monroe streets, this evening, resulted
In the death Of one Of the attacking
party and the woun,iing of several Of
those who participated in the fight.
Dead-Charles Lattimer, bricklayer.
Wounded-William Mahoney, police
man at the Despladnes street station;
shot in both arms end side; will re-
cover. John w. Launders, laborer;
finger shot off. John Prince, janitor Of
the building; shot IN the left leg; not
serious.
The club held It's annual election to-
night, and there was much rivalry be-
tween factions, headed by Coroner
Berz and John Rogess, an ex-member
of the city council, oy = the offices.
Some time ago 1t became known
among Rogers symr.athizers that the
Berz faction intended putting through
its ticket. 1t was then decided to tg-
more the regular convention announced
for Bricklayers' hall, Accordingly, a
meeting of the Rogers supporters was
held this evening, and 1t was decided
to visit Bricl1layers' hall and demand
representation. A large crowd accord
ingly left the Rogers meeting and
marched to Bricklsyers' hall. The
greater number remained in the street,
but Butch" Smith, Frank Matuska,
William Haines, George Callahan and
few others entered the hall.
Stories differ as to what followed,
but the members Of the Berz faction
IN the hall and the two police officers
who were stationed at the door OF the
room in which the meeting was being
held assert that the men Of the Rogers
faction came noiselessly UP the stairs,
having revolvers in their hands. Off
Ger Mahoney commanded them to halt,
but they paid no atteation to him, and
just as they reached the door some one
fired q shot. Instantly pistols were
drawn on every side, and the firing
was promiscuous. Coroner Berz was
one OI the IATSI TO ur6 Wn6l the lTOuDlS
started. Almost at the first shot Lat
timer threw up his hands and rolled
down the stairway, dead. His COM
panions continued she fight only a
short time, and ther they fed down
the stairway. At the f1rst shot crowd
of the Berz faction came pouring from
the hall, intent upon attacking the in
truders, but the fight was over in an
instant, and the Rogers sympathizers
were gone.
A wagonload Of officers was quickly
at the door of the hall Looming from the
Desplaines street station, which is only
a short distance away. Details were
promptly sent after the flying members
OF the Rogers party. but up to mid
night none of them had been caught.
Prince, the janitor, vas put under ar
rest, 1t being charged that he had con-
| nived at the attack, When 1t was
found, however, that he was wounded
in the leg he was sent home. After the
excitement had dice away the Berz
faction re-entered the hall, called their
! convention to order. and elected the
club officers without further disturb

Dutch and Germans, the towns to the

This brings US down to the point of

HAYS PLAN
For a New National Guard-Says Most
Suffering Of Soldiers is From Cooks
and HON esiek ness

For New National Guard-Says Most
Suffering of Soldiers is From "COOks
and HOmesielx ness.''
Cleveland, o., August 80. Ma
ior Webb c. Hayes, son of the late
President Hayes, who is said to be
the only volunteer officer that serv-
ed in both the Cuban and Porto Ri
can campaigns, and who is accom-
panying President Mckinley on his
present trip, has proposed a plan to
the chief executive looking toward
the reorganization of the national
guard under military law.
This plan provides that the Presi,
dent shall appoint an adjutant gen
eral for each state; that as many
bodies of militia shall be raised in
each state as circumstances require
and that all officers of such militia
shall be nominated by the governors
of the various states.
They would then be under the
direct control of the national gov
eminent and much of the difficulty
experienced when the guard was
called into service tor the Spanish
war would be obviated. Major
Hayes said he disliked to discuss
the matter now, for the plan was
still in an embryonic state and he
did not like to 60 on record until
some of the details are worked out,
Major Hayes when asked what he
thought OF the charges of starva-
ton from the regiments at the front
said: Look at me. Do l look
starved? I lived on the same ra-
tons as the soldiers and have
grown heshy on that fare"
Hayes was attired in the brown
canvas uniform of a field officer and
looked as brown as his suit and
rugged as veteran.
II may be wrong, but in my
opinion, the greatest cause for com
plant is summed up in cooks and
inconsistencies The government
purchased beautifully of all needed
supplies. That there was some
lnismauagemet is impossible to
deny. But official investigation
will show it was a case Of cooks
and inconsistencies that crippled
the army and packed the hospit
| ais"

Washington, August 5o.-When
General Miles returns to Washing
ton he will be asked for an explana-
ton of recent interviews appearing
with him, and the publication of
certain dispatches which the war
department has not made public.
Whether the investigation will take
the course of a military court of in
quiry or of a private interview be-.
tween the President, the secretary
of war and General Miles is yet to
be seen.
Until the arrival of Gen. Miles
the war department will not discuss
the matter. Secretary Alger says
that the department will not enter
into any controversy with its ST.
bordinates, and he does not propose
to discuss matters affecting General
Miles during his absence.
The department is of the opin-
ion that General Miles made pub
lie the dispatches of the secretary,
General Shafter and himself, pub
lished this morning. Such action
it regards as breach of military
regulations, hut no military court
can secure proof that General Miles
made public the dispatches if he
and the person to whom they were
furnished refuse to give the infor-
nation. as several military trials
have made it settled law that no
military court can compel civilian
to testify if he does not want to.
General Miles also may be called
to account for the interviews with
him, as, unless disavowed, they
would place him in the attitude of
criticising his superior officers, and
subject him TO military discipline.
The publication of the dispatches
today taken together with previous
interviews in the Kansas City Star,
where the topic of conversation
among officers of the war depart
ment, and already there Is dispo-
sition by some to take sides i'll the
matter, willie others deplore the
conditions as tending to lower the
tone of the army and to do ire
parable injury to the service. 1t
is expected the controversy will ex.
tend to both houses of Congress
and it is feared will have an adverse
effect upon legislation which will
be asked to better the army. 1t is
generally understood that the regu-
lar force will have to be largely in
creased, at least until the conquered
islands are disposed Of, and it IS
feared that legislation in that direc-
ton will be hampered by the in
evitable controversy between the
secretary of war and the general
commanding the army.

Washington, August 3o.-The

"On Board the Mohawk,

Dear Mother: There were
about thirty died out of the Eighth
Ohio in Cuba that l know of, be-
sides several on board the ship.
There are likely more dead at ST.

al ships. They got to hauling our
sick to Siboney and elsewhere and
we privates have had no news OF
them since"
Our voyage up was unpleas-
ant. Our officers did not provide a
pinch of salt for our journey, and
we had to eat beans and raw canned
tomatoes without salt. We had no
cooked meats, but the commissioned
officers had all the delicacies cooked
by the ships stewards, and not
once during the voyage did one OF
them show face among the men.
We are quartered unde- decks.
The officials horses are on deck
and filth leaks through on US. This
is an old cattle steamer and the
biIge water is three inches deep IN

hospital yesterday and there are
more sick on board yet. l will see

TRAGEDY OF THE WAR.


Tacoma, Wash, Aug. go The
Hong Kong Daily Press is author
led for the statement that 900
Spsniards, including sixteen priests
lost their lives several weeks ago
when the Spanish gunboat Leyte
was captured by vessel belonging
to Admiral Dewey's squadron. The
Leyte had been stationed in an adj
joining island where the insurgents
were numerous and aggressive.
The latter were gaining ground
rapidly, causing 900 Spaniards to
board these sailing vessels in an
endeavor to escape the natives, who
would massacre them.
The gunboat Leyte undertook to
tow these three transports to Ma
Mia bay, where the Spaniards on
board would surrender to Dewey, II
they did not succeed in landing and
reaching Manila under cover Of
darkness. After the Leyte had
Iowed them down Pampangas river
heavy storm came up, making it
necessary for the gunboat to cut
her lows loose and proceed to Ma
Mia for assistance. Before getting
there she was captured by the
Americans the next day, and an
American vessel was dispatched to
find the three transports but failed
to discover any trace of them. The
natives on the adjoining coast say
they saw nothing of any vessels.
The Hong Kong Press finally
reached the conclusion that the ves-
sells foundered with all on board.
