CANADIAN VESSEL BURNED.
Tho Sir 8. h. Tillev Destroyed on Fairport
-Al the Crew and Passengers Were
savsd-No Cargo

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 2s.-The steam
er which burned off Fairport Saturday
night was the Sir S. II. Tilley, Cana
dian vessel of $50 net tons. The fire
started in the engine room, and it
spread SO rapidly that the engineer
did not have time to shut off the steam,
and the crew and passengers, about 90
in number, had difficulty in escaping.
All the members of the crew save two
and three women passengers and the
cook were placed in the life boats and
rowed to the steamer Consort.
The members of the crew remained
on board the burning vessel and after
lashing the wheel they escaped, one of
them on a hatch cover and the other
with life preserver. They were both
picked up. The wheel being lashed,
the steamer continued to run in cir
Gle for about an hour, when the machin-
cry stopped. The fire continued burn
ing until early in the morning, the
tugs and life saving crew remaining in
the vicinity. The wreck was finally
towed to Fairport harbor. The Tilley
is almost total loss. She was valued at
$50. 600. She carried no cargo.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
ago to the Standard Oil Refineries
at Chicago Sunday Night.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-One of the most
destructive fires that has ever occurred
at the Standard oil refineries broke out
at Whiting Sunday night. 1t was
caused by leak at the bottom of one
of the stills. A few minutes after the
fire broke out there was terrific ex-
plosion and the flames spread rap
idly to the two immense tanks con-
tanning 2,200 barrels of partially
refined oil. At the present time
it looks as though the eight
remaining will be consumed. The
loss SO far is estimated at $10O, 900.
There are over 80 streams of water
playing on the fire, and the supposi-
tion is it will be impossi BILE to do more
than confine it to the present limits.
Stephen Wilkens, fireman, Harry
Bonney, engineer at the works, and
Jesse Cunningham, a still man, were
seriously burned by the blazing oil.

Two New Municipal Governments
in the Philip mes Collapse
Through Treachery.
MAYORS RECRUITING FOR INSURGENTS.
For the Last Two Weeks Manila Has
Been Policed at Night With
Unusual Vigilance.
7" The Trend of Affairs Tends to Make the
Policy of Leniency Unpopular Among
Americans-M N orong las Burned
After its Abandonment.

MANILA, Aug. 20, via Hong Kong,
Aug. 2S.- Recent events have proved
somewhat discouraging to officials who
are trying to accompany war with
policy of conciliation. Two new
municipal governments have collapsed
through the treachery of the mayors.
Sunday the mayor of San Pedro Ma
cati, who was elected by the people,
under the direction of Prof. Dean
Worcester, of the United States ad-
visory committee for the Philippines,
was brought to Manila and lodged in
Jail. The United States ttficers at
San Pedro Macati found that he was
using his Office as recruiting station
for the Philippine army. Four dis
guised insurgent officers were helping
him.
The mayor of Baliug was also ar
rested and confined in the same prison.
The Americans caught him passing be-
tween the line of the two armines with
discriminating documents. which the
authorities secured. Another prom
inent native mayor is under surveil-
lance.
When the result of the election at
linus, which Gen. Lawton and Prof.
Worcester engineered, was announced
the Americans inquired as to the
whereabouts of the peoples choice and
were informed that he was in prison at
Bilibid, where the authorities had
placed him on suspicion of being
revolutionist. He was released and
installed as mayor.
Such events and conditions tend to
give color to the assertions of foreign
residents acquainted with the native
character who insist that a great ma
jority of the natives sympathize with
the insurgents and elect officials whom
they know to be revolutionists.
For two weeks Manila has been po-
liced at night with unusual vigilance,
Apparently the authorities are expect
ing trouble.
The trend of affairs tends to make
the policy of leniency unpopular
among the Americans. When they
abandoned Morong they burned the
whole town.
Col. Smith, of the 18th infantry, who
is in command at Angeles, is skeptical
regarding Filipino friendliness. In
stead of allowing the natives to re-
turn to the town as heretofore he has
ordered his troops to shoot all men
trying to pass the lines and to turn
back the women and children. He re-
Gently gave the Amigos in the town an
opportunity to prove their professed
friendship, putting them to work at
digging trenches and cleaning streets,
but this only displeased them.
The foremost citizen of Angeles, a
lawyer who had welcomed the Ameri-
cans with great show of cordiality,
was found communicating with the in.
surgents. The Americans promptly
marched him off to San Fernando to
stand trial.
