DINNERAND BALLGAME
Congressman Thayer Falls From Grace and
is Carried Off the Field in a Wheel
barrow-Capt. Trowbridge's Team
Easy Winners---Players Try to
Initiate the Worcesters.

/ to criticise the policy Of our president
during the Cuban war. 1t is our duty
as citizens to defend America and its
institutions, whether right or wrong.
Whether the policy of the admins
tration is in direct opposition to the
belief of our administrators of earlier
days is a matter of debate. The spirit
of defiance was the weapon of our fore
fathers. Are we carrying out the
sentiments they prescribed? 1t is not
my wish to cast halo of gloom over
this assemblage, every member Of
which seems instilled with love of
country
Gov. Roosevelt's ideas of soldiery
can be preserved. BY citizen soldiery
the world bestows respect upon its bit
terest rivals. The citizens of this ma
ton can answer the call to arms and
protect and preserve the United States
better than ever before.
In 1876 I enviously watched DIR. F..
H Kelly and Dr. G. HI Bates as they
marched in the ranks of the Continent
ais. They have left this world, but
history of their lives will show that as
members of the Worcester COntinentals
they were part of an active force in
placing the city of Worcester upon the
highest plane of enterprise, civilization
and patriotism"
Congressman Thayer received three
rousing cheers as he concluded. Toast
master Col. Rider introduced Rev. DR..
Moses H. Harris as the next speaker
DR.. Harris said: THE Worcester Con-
tinentals have achieved a high mark
on the record of good fellowship pro-
moters, by doing things broadly. There
is a vast amount of differ ence between
the observance of a great day in the
nations history, by the Continentals
and other organizations. Since l have
been chaplain of the Continentals, days
of prosperity and gladness have aWak-
ened a new spirit in the ranks, and the
place now occupied by the Continentals
is one no other organization can fill.
II was chaplain when handsome,
carefully dressed man walked in the
ranks of the Worcester Continentals. l
sneak without cOnceit, for the hand
some, carefully dressed man was not
myself, but John R. Thayer Believe
me when I say that I have answered,
John r. Thayer,' to hundreds of per
sons who have inquired Who is that
handsome man there, who looks so
neat and trim?
And John R. Thayer is still hand
some, but he does not shine in Hart
ford, Providence, Manchester Spring
field and other New England cities
where the Continentals paraded, but in
the halls of congress. He has the right
and privilege in this land Of freedom
to differ from us in political belief, but
if we do not vote for him, we cannot
dispute the assertion that he is hand
some and capable daughter and APP

ITO me. this anniversary of the bat
file of Bunker hill is the conveyance of
another and more familiar episode in
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-06-17

cording to his story the relations be-
tween the two Filipino leaders had been
strained to the breaking point because
of Luna's attempts to assume control
of affairs and the final fracture was
forced by Aguinaldo issuing secret or
ders to the provincial governments.
Luna demanded of AgGinaldo copies
of the documents, and Aguinaldo replied
curtly that Luna was general Of the
'army and that the civil government did
not concern him. Luna on opening the
reply at his headquarters in the pres
ence Of his officers, exclaimed hotly:
HE will be dead tomorrow"
One officer who was friendly to
Aguinaldo fastened to warn him and
Aguinaldo called together 20 trusted
soldiers, fellow townsmen, land sta
toned them around his house with in
structions to kill any one attempting
to enter, regardless of rank. Luna APP
peared the next day and saw Aguinaldo
at the window.
A member Of the guard said: "Aguin-
aldo has gone to inspect the troops"
Luna then exclaimed: You are a
liar" drew his revolver struck the
guard, and tried to force an entrance
into the house. Before he could use his
revolver one of the guards bayonetted
him, another shot him in the back and
another stabbed him. In all he had
| twenty wounds. Luna's aide de camp
was killed in the same way.
The Spaniard's story has not entirely
dispelled the doubts of Luna's death,
and bets that he is alive are freely made
at the clubs. Some people thsnk Aguin-
aldo has taken pains to send the Span
lard here with his story for the further
ance of some diplomatic scheme, while
others suspect Aguinaldo has been as
! sassinated by Lunas men.
Since the Americans Withdrew from
| Candaba recently the rebels have re-
turned and have wreaked vengeance
upon those who befriended the Ameri-
cans. They slaughtered the natives who
surrendered the town and displayed
their heads on poles in the public
square.
The hostile natives of Cebu are more
menacing. Mail advices say hostilities
against the Americans have begun
there. Col. Hemer. the American COM
mander, has asked for reinforcements,
and four companies Of the Tennessee
regiment have been sent to him from
Iloilo. The Nebraska regiment has been
ordered to sail for home early next
week
