PANA LABOR TROUBLES.
Troops Will Leave the Town Monday
More Negro Miners Coming,

Pana, ILL.,, June 12.-Major Cabanis,
in command of companies d and H, 9TH
Illinois infantry, has received orders
from Governor Tanner to send the men
home Monday morning, and notify all
citizens upon presentation of receipts,
arms taken from them by the military
will be returned The recall of troops
was received by the majority of citi-
zens with pleasure, and the general
opinion is there will be no further con-
flict between opposing factions. Many
imported negroes have already left. and
the remainder will leave shortly. Oper-
ators, however, claim they are engag-
ing 200 negroes to take the places of
those who left, and expect them to ar
rive Saturday. Military officers believe
riots will follow the removal of troops.
Major Coram, Chief of Police Kiely and
Sheriff Downey say there will be no
trouble, but in case of an outbreak they
will be able to restore order. Mine own
ers say it will be impossible for civil
officials to prevent trouble. They will
send committee with petition to
Governor Tanner, urgently requesting
the troops to remain here.

A FILIPINO COLONEL.
he Was Sentenced for Having Preferred
American Rule,

Manila, June 22.-Detais of the SEN
fencing of Colonel Arguelles, Filipino
commissioner, to twelve years impris-
onment, has just been obtained here. 1t
was first reported that his condemna-
tion by Filipinos was due to friendship
displayed towards Americans, but in
formation just received shows the ac-
cusation against him was not based on
his peace conferences at Manila, as sup
posed They confirm President Schur-
mans belief in his sincerity, and show
his advocacy of autonomy among in
surgents was treated as treason. The
charge against the colonel was that in
conversation with Filipino officers he
predicted disorders within insurgent
territory would lead to civil war, and
therefore said he considered autonomy
under Americans preferable to inde-
pendence. The Filipino congress tried
him on charge Of treason, and finally
sentenced him to death, but eem,nuted
to twelve years imprisonment Colonel
Arguelles was one of the most conserv-
ative and respected men identified with
the insurrection.
