Livingston, Aug. 24.-B. F. Hoover
editor of the Livingston Enterprise
was accidently killed this afternoon
He was in an upper room in his home
having gone up stairs to clean a clock.
He was found by the meubers of the
family, who heard him fall on the
floor, after the muffled report of a gun
reached their ears. He was bleeding
from gaping wound in his right
breast, where a charge from a Win
chester repeating shotgun had entered,
causing instant death. The charge
ranged upward after entering, cutting
through the heart and tearing a terri

satisfactory Tests of Disappearing Guns
at Fort Stevens.

at Fort Stevens.
Astoria, Ore, Aug. 24.-Three of the
10-inch disappearing guns mounted at
Fort Stevens were tested to-day. The
test was made under the supervision of
Captain Clark of the ordnance depart
ment, who is visiting the Pacific coast
on special detail for technical ex-
animation end official report as to the
completeness and efficiency of all the
new batteries located along the coast.
Everything connected with the mech
anism and ammunition for the guns
was carefully scrutinized and measured
before the firing took place. Captain
Clark expressed the highest satisfac-
tion with the guns.
The day was perfect and the test was
successful in every respect. The pro-
jectile used was a solid eoncal shot
weighing nearly 600 pounds. Two of
the guns were fired at a range of five
and half miles over the open water.
AT the point of impact with the ocean
column of water spouted into the air
several hundred feet. Commander Pat
terson aimed the guns and controlled
the firing squad. The last shot fired
was aimed al fixed target, which was
the extreme detached end of some old
piling over the jetty. The range finder
showed the point to be something over
three and a half miles from the gun.
When the smoke cleared away it was
found that the bunch of piles had been
fairly struck, one of them being broken
and carried away

tasted on another inch of their belts
and marched ahead, and they always
managed to attack from an unexpected
quarter, knowing what road or which
side of town had been entrenched,
and came in from another direction.
With Lawton at San lsidro the rebels
feared he might sweep around upon
Tarlac, where they had installed their
nomadic capital, and catch them be-
tween two armies. All the archives,
seals. gilt triangles and treasure boxes
were packed realty for shipment up
the railroad on the first word of Law
tons advance. Lawton thought him
self able to take Tarlac from the rear,
and asked to be allowed to do it with
the men and rations he had. But orders
came to withdraw his troops from San
Isidro and return to Malolos, leaving
small garrisons at some of the towns
he had captured. His retirement the
Filipinos construed into a retreat and
from that day the sinking hopes of the
insurrection seemed to rise. Luna and
Mascardo, who had retreated north
ward from San Fernando toward Tar
lac, brought their armies back and pro-
ceeded to construct a horseshoe line
of entertainments around San Fernando
where. according to reports. they led
their followers to believe that they had
Macarthur besieged.
Aguinaldo's Plan Of Campaign.
The assassination of Luna was ex-
pected to bring the whole Filipino or
ganiZation toppling down in civil war,
but, while the usual stories of dissen-
sions are heard, its only result, SO far
as outward appearances go, was to
leave Aguinaldo the undisputed leader
ship. The F'ilipinos are encouraged by
the handicap the rains impose upon the
American and the departure of the
volunteers Their policy after the rains
will be as it was before, a campaign
for gaining time and wearing out their
opponents. They profess to imagine
that congress will declare against an
nexation. If congress fails them they
will try to prolong the struggle until
into the presidential campaign with the
expectation that one of the political
parties will declare against Imperialism
and the hope that such a party may
win.
Time after time the Americans have
carefully planned movements which
seemed sure to result in the rounding
up of two or three thousand rebels in a
trap, but every time the difficulties of
the country, the slowness of the wagon
trains and the superior agility of the
light moving natives have conspired
against them and when the several di-
visions of the army came together they
have found handful of obsequious
brown men who announced themselves

BUB0NlC. PLAGUE FEARED.
Federal Quarantine Regulations to Be
Enforced

Washington, Aug. 24-Owing to the
conflict of authority between the state
and national quarantine authorities at
San Francisco, Secretary Gage, after
consultation with Surgeon General Wy
man, to-day telegraphed the collector
of customs at that port 10 employ a
sufficient force to enforce the federal
quarantine regulations. The marine
hospital service is laboring earnestly
to keep infectious diseases out of the
country, and at San Francisco is di-
recting its efforts against the bubonic
plague, whose introduction is feared,
from the Orient. The local quarantine
authorities at San Francisco have, 1t is
said, disregarded the national quaran-
tine regulations, which the federal au-
thorities believe it is absolutely neces-
sary to enforce. The federal quaran-
tine is supported by the chamber of
commerce and other commercial bodies
of San Francisco. Secretary Gage be-
lieves that the national authorities, In
regard to the quarantine matters, are
paramount, and by his directions to the
collector at San Francisco. the federal
regulations will be enforced against the
local authorities.

TO BLOCKADE THE PORTS.


sideratiou.
Washington, Aug. 24.-The establish
ment of a blockade of the ports of the
Philippine islands, especially those of
Luzon, Is a subject which is receiving
attention al the war department, al
though Secretary Root says he has not
yet sufficient information to warrant
definite action in the matter.
The secretary says that he believes
in taking advantage of everything
necessary to make the campaign sue
cessful. and that war cannot be made
without causing distress. At the same
time, he thinks an absolute blockade
may do more injury just now than
good He considers that it would be
serious hardship upon a peaceful COM
munity to shut them off from means of
subsistence, because port that sup
plies them is in the hands of maraud-
ers. Another matter that has to be
considered is the fact that the mer-
chants and business men in Manila
would be seriously crippled, and it
might cause great deal of dissatis
faction should a rigid blockade be main
tanned at the present time.
The proba Utilities are, however, that
when the fall campaign begins there
will be an effectual blockade maintain
ed and that commerce between the
towns within the American lines and
the country in the control of the in
surgents will be stopped. Meanwhile,
all possible precaution will be taken 10
prevent arms and ammunition from
being supplied to the insurgents.
