PROF. BIRCH RETURNS

From an Eastern Trip-TaIks Con-
corning the Military Matter.
Prof. John II. Birch returned from
Ney York yesterday, where he has been
on a business journey. On having his
attention called to a local article in the
IntellIgencer OF yesterday concerning
the probability OF his organizing a COM
pany for the First regiment Of the new
state National Guard. he said he would
be glad to have the honor of that COM
mission from the state military depart
ment. In referring to the matter yes
terday. the Intelligencer inadvertently
stated that Professor Birch had written
to Aujutant General Appleton on the
subject. asking for the commission. It
should have been stated that friends OF
Professor Birch had 50 written In his
absence. and suggested voluntarily that
the professor be the one delegated
There Is no doubt that the request will
be granted, for the selection would be a
good and a popular one.
Having retired from the Llnsly, Pro-
feSsOr Birch Is now engaged In a bus
mess that Is not so confirming. and one
which gives him a better opportunity to
keep in close touch with the other por-
tisns OF the state. and the leading busI-
ness men everywhere. His connection
with the new National Guard would not
interfere with his duties, but. In fnct,
would be an advantage in bringing him
In contact with all parts OF West Yir-
glnia. His many friends will be glad
TO know that in his new calling he Is
meeting with great encouragement.

A Iarge-slzsd panic seized the native

tied Al the La Belle landing. At the
foot Of ThIrty-dfth street ali OF the
afternoon. and It wasn't moved until
the authorities took a hand in the
game.
About l O'Clock. a stranger in a skin
towing a barge with the significant red
nag at its head, chose the La Belle
landing as hating place In his Jour
ney from a town above Pittsburgh to
the sistersvllIe oil country. and after
making his craft secure he DISAPPEARED,
A red nag never passes by unnoueed'
It is the symbol Of anarchy. and the
accompaniment Of the auctioneerl

always a deep significance. When at
taehed TO a small river craft the spec
tator instantly knows that dynamite
or nltro-glycerine Isn't far away, and
consequently silence Is golden In that
immediate vicinity.
Thus the spectacle at the river front
soon spread alarm about the Eighth
ward. and in the meantime the barge
sunk until It was almost entirely COW
cred by water. Attempts to locate the
pilot were futile until about p. m.
when omeer Rolf eorraled his man.
Sheriff Richards had been telephoned
for, and reached the scene accompanied
by Jesse Mecausland, a broker in ex-
plosives. When INTERCEPTED. ohcer
Rolls prisoner became very frightened,
and said that he landed when he did
because the fumes from the nltro-glyc-
crime made him 80 sick that he had to
seek a drug store. He was only too
glad to be permitted to continue his
Journey, and promised not to land again
until he reached slstersville. He said
he had about 400 quarts Of the stun, but
It looked as though he was minimizing
the amount as the barge was nearly
fun.
Assisted by another man, whom he
pressed into service, the stranger baiIed
his barge out, using board. fot to use
a tin bucket or other metallic vessel
was likely to promote conclusion that
would have touched the stun Oh. and
the quantity was large enough to have
shaken the whole Eighth ward. While
the baiilng-out process was on, the
crowd viewing the operation kept at a
respectful distance. but not far enough
away had the nltro-glycerine exploded.
Throughout the afternoon, anxious
mothers were busy keeping their child
rem away from the scene, and the fear
of danger amounted to a general
panic.
About O'Clock the dangerous craft
pulled out for down the river. It Is
said the Leroy stopped at the landing
during the afternoon, not noticing the
barge, and the wonder is that no explo-
sion occurred. The man with the glyc-
crime claimed swells from the Leroy
sunk his barge, but his statements were
not wholly credited.

At Central City the men employed in
the stamp mills are expected to strike to-
day.
The Porter Fuel Company at Durango

Should the mines close all over the state,

POWDER MILL BLEW UP.
With 1t Went the Bodies of Four OF
the Employees.

the Employees.
San Rafael, Cal, June l9.-The United
States Smokeless Powder Company's fac
tory, situated on Point San Pedro, four
miles from this town, was the scene of a
disastrous explosion. As a result four
employees were killed and three seriously
injured, while six buildings were demol-
ished by the shock and resultant flames.
The bodies of the dead, which are now
at the morgue, are 50 mutilated as to be
almost unacceptable. The dead: Edwin
Secumbe, John S. Secumbe, James NJ.
Hennessy, NJ. Hollenbeck. The injured:
John Farrell, Henry Carroll, William Web
ster.
To the sudden igniting of the powder
contained in the granting room the disas-
ter is due. A second explosion quickly
followed the first, and soon four mixing
houses were in flames and were entirely
consumed. The explosions at first were
mistaken for the national salute at the
military stations in honor of Bunker Hill
day. About year ago an explosion oc-
Cured at these works from a similar cause.
The property damage today will not ex-
coed $4,000.
1t is surmised the primary cause of the
explosion was the criminal carelessness of
in the granting room, and it is conjectured
the offender was either Hollenbeck or John
Secumbe, who paid dearly for his folly.

THE REBELS Quickly ROUTED
aUNBoAT NAPIDAN IN ACTION.
Rebels Received Shot and Shell From
Every Gun-.FilipinO Barracks We're
Standardization Loss Was Heavy
Rebel Supply Train Destroyed.

Manila, June ls.-A battalion of the
Fourteenth infantry is making a recon-
noissance from linus toard Salitran,
where the rebels are reported to be massed
in force.
The gunboat Napidan has arrived here
and made brief stay. Her commander,
Franklin, reported the details of an en-
gagement with the rebels on the lake while
General Wheaton as fighting near Taguig.
Franklin saw party Of 500 insurgents
advancing under cover of the bluffs to at
tack Wheatons left flank. The Napidan
steamed unseen by the rebels to within
500 yards of shore, when she opened fire
upon the enemy with every gun on board
the two and three-inch, the Hotchkiss,
the revolving Colt, rapid fire Calling, and
rifles in the hands of the crew. 1t was a
tremendous surprise to the insurgents.
The first discharge scattered the rebels
and threw them into utter confusion. The
Filipino commander, who was mounted,
belabored his men with the fiat of his
sword, striving to rally them, but they
would not stand to be cut down by the
murderous fire of the gunboat. Finally
the rebels fled over the hill, the Napidan
Smelling them until the last man disap.
peared.
General Wheaton first saw the insur-
gents as they were scrambling over the
hill in their fight. He was ignorant Of the
reason of their Generalization, his own
fire drowning that Of the Napidan.
The gunboat then steamed down the
lake. A short distance down she saw q
Filipino supply train and opened fire upon
it, destroying every cart and killing every
cariboo. Continuing down she saw the
new barracks containing 500 insurgents,
which were shelled and burned. After the
barracks were destroyed, Captain Frank
lin, with detail Of men, went ashore and
found nearly go dead Filipinos and several
wounded rebels, who had been left where
they fell. Franklin picked up an officers
sword, but it was impossible to distinguish
officers from privates among the dead. He
reports that the lake is cleared Of rebels
south of Muntuilupa.

Manila, June 20.-The battalion of the
Fourth infantry which left linus, with
General Wheaton in command, this morn
ing, to reconnoiter toward Pedas Desmar-
ina, where it was believed most of the
rebels who escaped from Paranaque and
Bakoor had fled, was attacked in the rear
by apparently friendly natives.
This brought on sharp engagement,
lasting several hours and resulting in five
Americans being killed and about %
wounded. The loss of the rebels was very
heavy.
The battalion soon exhausted its am
munition and at $3.50 p. m. General Wheat
on and his staff, with two mounted guns
and one field piece, went to reinforce the
troops attacked. General Wheaton was
fired on in the road and had narrow es-
cape.
A third battalion was ordered to the
front and formed on the Las Minas road.
Heavy firing on both sides followed, the
artillery being freely used.
The enemy was located in the woods at
4 o'clock, showing signs of retiring, as they
were being pressed very hard. One gun
of the Sixth Artillery in an. advantageous
position did great execution.
The fighting was still in progress at 5
o'clock, at which time the Americans had
secured a quantity of Filipino arms which
had been abandoned in the woods. The
scene Of the fighting is over 20 miles from
Manila.

Havana, June l9.-At Remedies over
5000 Cuban soldiers are awaiting payment.
Lieutenant Colonel Rafferty, so far has
paid out $2S,275.
The mayor of Remedies has received 1928
rifles. The men awaiting payment fill the
hotels and houses and many of them sleep
in the parks. A number of men expecting
payment have incurred debts for food and
several of the names do not show on the
lists.
Benito Hernandez, who served during
the 10 years war and who has been in the
field since 1895, has not been. placed on
the list. This is an example of the way
in which the lists are drawn up. The
American soldiers are restraining the
crowds who are anxious to be paid but the
Cubans are orderly.
