present. The play was Across the

New YORK, May 1O.-.A dispatch to
The journal and Advertiser from Ma
nila says: Only the entreaties of Aguin-
aldo averted last Tuesday civil war
between tho forces Of his two rival gem
erals, Luna and Mascardo. They were
actually drawn up in battle array.
This and positive confirmation of
the news that Luna has been danger
ously wounded in the shoulder in the
battle Of San Tomas are the most i'm
portant items of intelligence brought by
the army gunboats Laguna de Bay and
Cavadonga. which returned from a
brisk expedition up the San Fernando
river. It was Immediately before the
battle Of San Tomas that the insurgents
90 nearly arrived at the point of begin
ming to exterminate one another. Gen
eral Luna, when he saw that an en-
gagement with the American troops
was inevitable, sent back an aide post
haste to Bacolor, where General Mas
cardo was, demanding reinforcements.
Mascardo's reply was that he would
take orders from no one but Aguinaldo
This defiance so infuriated Luna that,
In spite of the impending conflict with
the common enemy, he took 1900 of his
soldiery and made a. forced march to
Bacolor, intent on chastising his COM
1ade in arms.
Mascardo was Ready.
Il Mascardo was nothing 10th to fight it
ont and ordered his command into line
of battle. Shouts of hatred and defiance
were heard on both sides. Outside the
opposing forces the insurgent camp was
all confusion. Aguinaldo, terrified by
the situation, ordered his chief Of staff,
Colonel Arguelles, to make peace at all
hazards. The soldiers had loaded their
pieces and were waiting for orders to
begin the onslaught when Arguelles
galloped between the lines, frantically
waving flag of truce.
There was an angry conference be-
tween him and the rival generals. Ag-
uinaldo was drawn into it. With all
the intensity at his command he begged
Luna and Mascardo not to plunge the
Filipino forces into civil strife at time
when they were already broken and de-
moralized by successive defeats at the
hands Of the Americans. His entreaties
prevailed for the time being. Luna sui
lenly returned to the front after the
commanding general had provided him
with reinforcements and ordered Mas
cardo to be courtmaytialed for not hav-
ing sent them at first.
The battle of San Tomas followed,
and Luna, on whose ferocity in the
field Aguinaldo placed his chief reli-
ance, received wounds that will disable
him for the rest Of the campaign, and
may cause his death. IS

an ultimatum as to price and terms.
Mr.. Johnson's reply thereto was SO un-

standpoint, that they will report to the
common council failure to reach an
agreement with the railway representa-
tives.
It is asserted the street railway peo
pie refused to recede from their price.
which is stated to be 81, 100000, and
that the commissioners feel that $751;
SOC, 900 is the limit the city ought to
pay, consistently, at least, with the
commissioners avowed purpose of fur

that the price named in an option given
by r. T. Wilson Of New York, princi.
pal owners of the roads, was $I5 1925, 900,
stipulating, however, that the price
named called for cash or its equivalent.

that the equivalent for the cash price is

tire assets of the company and to be
