BECOMING DANGEROUS.
Pillar Ii After the Honors Grasped by
Aguinaido.

New York, Sept. "a dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: The attitude
OF the Philippine insurgent leaders is
daily becoming more dangerous. So open
is their opposition to the American au-
and reconciliation may be difficult. What
makes the situstion more troublesome
is the u~ndisguised rivalry tive the
followers OF Genera A~suinaldo, he self
proclaimed dictator, and General Pillar,
who covets the honor which Aguinaldo
has acquired.
General PHO Pillar is In command Of
the insurgent troops stationed south Of
Manila. He uses them in a way that Is
most annoying to Aguinaldo and at the
same time makes every effort TO show
his utter disregard to the American of
fcers. His forces continue to patrol the
city. encouraging lawlessness in every
direction. ~Aguinaldo's course is no less
annoying. He no longer attempts to o n
ceal his hostility to the officials who
represent the United States, and yes
terday issued an order prohibiting his
soldiers from entering the American
lines. This course was probably deemed
necessary in order TO prevent them from
becoming so well disposed toward Amer
leans as to destroy his power by re-
pudiating his leadership.
The attitude of the rival leaders al
not fail in the end TO injure the u
of Philippine independence. Certainly
IT will prevent the presentation of a
strong case before the peace commits
sion in behalf Of the Filipinos.

A NEW PARTY.
Cubans viii Aid the Plans of the United
States.

CuBans Will Aid the Plans of the United
states.
New York. Sept. 9.-The Times says:
The Cuban revolutionary party in this
city is engaged in the formation of a
political party for Cuba to be known
as the nationalist party. The plans
of the leaders have so far progressed
that meetings will be held to-day or
tomorrow to select a committee of
from 200 TO $50 Cubans as a nucleus OF
organization. The movement is in the
hands of T. Estrada Palma, Fidel G..
Pierra, Horatio S. Rubens and others
well known. So far the plans have
been kept quiet, but the Cuban leaders
will, within a few days, issue a mani
festo setting forth their imposes n
cause ii to be widely distributed among
their followers in Cuba.
According to Fidel G.. Pierra, the
principles of the new party will be
based on the principles contained in
the war resolutions of congress, passed
on April 9. 1898. In explaining this and
other features, Mr.. Pierra said:
''Our intentions are, in this move
ment, to follow closely the desires OF
the American government m the laws
laid down by IL for the rehabilitation
of Cuba. When once the preliminaries
of the party organization are ar

and we propose to see hat 1t is stopped

operation in Cuba until. in the opinion
OF the American government. the Gu

starting the nationalist party thus
early is practically to begin a campaign

HE TORE UP A SIDEWALK

Along and Ordered His Arrest.
Had q Permit From
the Inspector.

Ex-City Engineer Blackford is in
more trouble yer his lots in Missoula
gulch. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Blackford built his lots upon the sands
of the gulch near Granite street. The
storms and the floods came about a
week ago, and they did not do a thing
to his lots except wash them down the
gulch and into the sewer.
Mr.. Blackford is desirous OF rebuild
ing his lots. They are of no value
when leveled TO the bed OF the gulch.
but when on a level with the street
are valuable building lots. In order to
reconstruct his lo.s IL is necessary to
cart into the gulch a good many loads
OF dirt. In order 10 do this IL was nee
essary to tear up the sidewalk on Gran
lite street for the teams to cross over.
Mr.. Blackford went to Building In
spector ". J. Kennedy and obtained
from him permission 10 take up the
sidewalk so he could fill up his lots.
Armed with this permission he started

s%ioner, and he alone could grant per-
mission TO tear up walks. He went to
City Attorney DeWolfe to get a war
rant for Blackford's arrest. but Mr..
De Wolfe was rather skeptical of there
being n law in the matter. The cap
tain was ready. however, and pulled
from his pocket section 3 of ordinance
100, relating TO sidewalks. on which a
warrant was sworn out for the arrest
of Mr.. Blackboard. The section reads as
follows:
mo person shall injure or tear up any
pavement. sidewalk or crosswalk or
any part thereof. dig any hole, shaft,
ditch or drain. or dig or remove any

The penalty Is from so TO 500.

place where the right man is sorely
