relative to the tin plate industry which
Mr., Torbet is anxious to locate here.
The plan and scope of the concern

Train Containing COlored Miners
Fired Upon.
Murphysboro, ILL.,, July 2. -- At .
o'clock yesterday morning Conductor
Bryan's train on the johnson City
branch Of the Illinois Central, bearing
f~orty-seven negro miners from Papa,
was shot into by a crowd of miners at
Lawder, in Williamson county. One
negro woman was killed by a bullet
through her heart. The negroes were
brought by Sam 7. Rush, superintend-
ent Of the st. Louis and Big Muddy
mines near Centerville, to work in his
mine there, where there is now a
strike. The miners, fifty In number,
were armed with rifles and were hid
den in grass behind the country depot.
When the. train stopped the leader, an
Italian, got on the platform and CON-
manded the negroes to get out. Con
ductor Bryan interfered, but was
stopped with q revolver in his face.
The train began to o and the min
ers poured in a whitening fire. Con-
ductor Bryan yelled to the negroes to
throw themselves on the floor. All
escaped serious wounds save the wom-
mn, who was killed instantly. Half q
mile further on the negroes were un-
laden and placed in charge of guards.
They were then marched to the mine.
Intense excitement prevails in the Cas-
tOrville coal fields and bloody riots are
expected, as the feeling has been in
tense for weeks.

Manila. July "a collision between
the two armies at San Fernando seems
inevitable soon. The insurgents are
active all around the town and can be
seen working in the trenches to
strengthen their position. Day and
night forces are at work. 1t is esti-
mated that 5000 men were seen.
marching in the road north Of the town
yesterday morning. The Americans
turned out and manned the defenses,
expecting an attack. The soldiers
slept in their clothes and breakfasted
at 4 o'clock in the morning SO as to be
ready for another daybreak assault.
The commission of three Spanish Of
ficers who entered the insurgent lines
a fortnight ago to make a final at
tempt to arrange for the release of the
Spanish prisoners have not returned.
Their long absence has occasioned
alarm. But reports come to Manila
that they were received by Aguinaldo
at Tarlac and entertained Hospitality.
It is said that Aguinaldo gave a BAN
quet in their honor, all the leading
families of the rebel leaders, present

commissioners will be successful.

Manila, June %, via Hongkong, July
1.-Two opposite views Of the Philip
pine situation are held by those per-
sons who have followed the American
campaign with close attention.
First is the official military view.
According to this, the situation is now
we'll in hand, and the campaign has
been as successful as possible. The
natives are tired Of instruction and
are more friendly toward the Ameri-
cans than toward the insurgents. The
irsurgent army is made up almost en-.
tirely Of brigands who can no longer
be held together by their leaders. The
war will soon be over, it is declared, If
tho wet season holds off. The force of
troops now on hand is sufficient for
the emergency. Business is picking
up. The disorganized insurgents, de-
prived' of their resources, are held to-
gether at present merely by the hope
given the rebels through the anti-an-
nexation movement in the United
States and the American papers which
reach here. The insurgent leaders are
actuated solely by selfish personal am
billions.
The second view, which is held by
military men in the field and leading
thinkers, is that the ability of our
troops to drive the insurgents at will
is proved, the suppression of the insur-
rection depends upon the ability of the
men in authority to cope with the sit.
uatiOn and not upon muzzling the
American press.
The outlook at present is more
gloomy for q speedy ending Of the war
than ever before. The method of max
ing raids into the country and then
withdrawing, leaving the friendly ma
tives at the mercy of the returning in.
surgents, has tended to ALLEVIATE the
population. and not materially to weak.
en- the insurgents. The organization Of
the insurgents is still good, and their
resources are not greatly impaired.
The failure this season to take the
railroads running through the valley
Of the rice country about San Fernando
leaves to the enemy immense resources
and fails to protect the interests of
foreign merchants.
With the present methods the wal
with the Filipinos may continue ill.,
definitely. The only true method to
pacify the country is to garrison all the
important towns. 10 do this more
that twice the number of troops al
ready here + necessary, with several
regiments Of mounted cavalry. -Four
thousand men being in the hospital,
$500 in the Southern islands and 49,
600 in Manila, Cavite and small gar.
risons; this leaves only 500 men for
active campaigning. This number is
not sufficient. since the troops in the
north are in bad condition, many SOL
diers having irritated hearts by reason
of overeXertion on account of the small
number of troops available.

Austin, Tex, July /. All South,
West and Central Texas territory has
been visited by. terrific rainstOrmg,
which have practically tied up all the
railroads in this section Of the state.
The Missouri. Kansas & Texas and
Houston & Texas Central are the prin-
cipal sufferers. Quite a number of
bridges on both roads have been
washed away, tying up the roads most
enectually. Yesterday morning the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas and the
Santa Fe both used the Houston &
Texas Central tracks into Houston
from connecting points on their lines,
but this afternoon the water had risen
SO rapidly in the Brazos and several
other rivers that part Of the Houston
& Texas Central track is also under
water, making the progress Of trains
exceedingly dangerous. Many hum
dreds Of areas of farming land in
South Texas are under water tonight
and much cotton will be badly dam
aged. The International & Great
Northern has suffered considerable
damage by the loss of several bridges
and all train entering this city to-day

The rain has ceased, however, and 1t,
is thought the worst is about over.

FULL OF FIGHT.
Young -Filipinos Busy in the other
lands

Young -FilipfnOs Busy in the Other
Islands.
Victoria, B. c., July 1. = Advices
from Hakodate state that Capt. Saki-
Chi, Of the steamer Hokoku Maru,
just returned from the Philippines,
reports that in the southern islands the.
young Filipinos are constructing forth
fcations again emergencies. Every
port is garrisoned by a thousand or so
volunteers whose weapons. however,
are very crude, only about 20 per cent
being armed with rifles (RemingtOns).
They are, however, full of patriotism
and state that they will not yield to
the Americans though the whole Of the
islands are destroyed.
The Kokoku Maru was warmly well
coined by the Filipinos, who consider
the Japanese to be of a kindred race
and hoped for assistance from them.
The Filipinos are prepared 10 ray for
arms and ammunition. and said the
Japanese vessels visiting the islands
could take return cargoes of hemp.
Capt. Sakichi says he sold the insur-
gents only two revolvers and the
cooks knives,
