Armed Bodies Enter MaIabOn In
Defiance of American Garrison.

Manila, Sept 1880 p. m.-The in
surgents are trying to incite the natives
of Malabon, a city of 10000 inhabitants,
five miles from Manila, to rise against
the American garrison. Captain Allen
has been holding the place with two
companies of the Sixteenth infantry but
on account of the need of all the avail
able men at the front, his force has
been reduced to 20 men. They now
remain near the big church where they
are quartered, being too few in number
to attempt, to patrol the town. Armed
uniformed parties of insurgents recent
~ disembarked from cascoes during the
night, collected money for the insurrec-
ton and preached revolt. Two mayors
have been elected but both of them
have declined to serve.
Malabon has been made the shipping
point whence provisions and other StuT
are brought from Manila by trains and
shipped into the hostile territory. The
insurgents seem to be trying to make
their good treatment of the American
prisoners a. card by which to gain out
side sympathy. Two Englishmen who
have arrived from Tarlac report that
the Americans are treated more like
guests than prisoners. They are fed on
the best that the country affords and
everything is done to gain their favor
A Filipino paper says that on the Oc-
casion of a recent fete at NittOria in
celebration of a mythical Filipino vic
tory, the American prisoners there We're
given the freedom of the town and five
pesos each with which to celebrate the
victory"
The Eng1ishmen also say the Filipinos
have offered all the Americans commits
sions in the army and that three of
them accepted. This is not believed
American officers north OF Manila tell
the correspondents of the Associated
Press that A Aguinaldo is attempting to
enforce good government after the
American fashion. ordering his soldiers
to suppress a band of robbers, three of
whom were executed at Mariquima. He
has also prohibited gambling in the
villages under his control Paterno. the
president of the sO-called Filipino cabi-
net has fallen into disfavOr among the
FilIpinos on account of his peace pro-
clivities. They suspect him of planning
to repeat his treachery of the former
insurrection when he went over to the
Spaniafds and they may expel him.
AguinaldO has issued a decree invit-
ing Filipino deserters to return within
a month, in which case they will be
pardOned.

fifth. God and His Work First was the
subject of Rev. Harold B. Wrights ad-

COMMANDER GRATIFIED.
Gen. Shaw Pleased With His Re

ceptlOn in Topeka.
Commander A. D Shaw will remain
in Topeka until Thursday night when
he will leave Tor his home in Water
town, New York.
In speaking of the G. A. R troubles
relative to the Dewey parade he said:
My action was simply one in defense
of our Grand Army 1t is not always
pleasant to say what should be done
but Commander Kay, of New York,
and myself believed that when the ma
ton shakes hands with a hero the
veterans of 81 and '65 should be the
guard of honor.
The statement of Major General Roe
that it would be unmi1itary for an un-
armed body to lead a military parade
is all humbus. Pennsylvania and Chi
cagO accorded the veterans the right
It is all nonsense for the city of New
York TO say that the old soldiers who
stacked arms in the pages of history
should not be in front of the young
men who yet have their battles to fight.
The members of the @. A r. made it
possible for admiral Dewey to give
liberty and good government to the
FilipinOs This is a stand for the right
and should not be fussily dictated to
It is very nnortifying to me to be out OF
New York but gratifying to have ali
shake my hands because OF the stand
for the right.
THE pension roll is large and be-
lieve clean. I do not believe in attack
ing men. In my opinion those who are
responsible for a pension policy in its
execution at the present time should be
made to understand that the intent of
the laws should be carried out. I be-
ieve that the report of the pension
committee before the thirty-third en-
campment was injustice and I believe
that many deserving veterans applying
for pensions have not been treated with
the hberality the spirit of the law in
/ tended
In speaking of expansion Commander
Shaw said When we put up the flag
CT the United States under God and in
/ honor it should never be hauled down.

DEWEY MIGHT TAKE IT.
He Doesn't Say He Would Refuse a
Presidential Nomination.

New York, Sept 27-The Post prints
the following interview with Admiral
Dewey:
They are a splendid lot the admiral
said speaking of his men, the very pick,
the finest in our navy. and that means
best in the world. Before I got to Ma
Mia, the archbishop, with whom I after
ward became very intimate, said that the
American sailors were the scum Of the
earth, a blOOd-thirsty lot of cut-thrOats,
who would destroy everything in their
path.
Later on. when I did get there said
the admiral, with knowing smile, the
archbishop came on board one day while
I had a battalion at drill the very same
battalion that viii parade in New York.
The archbishop went on the bridge and
watched them closely. 1 knew he was
admiring them, and 1 said to him:
Well, what do you think of our
American sailors?
They are splendid he said. I have
seen the men of most naVfes. but never
anything like these They are magnifi-

UNwIsE RESTRICTIONS.
President Ripley Says They Are Re
sponsible For Rate Troubles

In the Santa Fe annual report Presi-
dent Ripley has the following on the
maintenance of rates;
There has been a fairly good main
tenance of rates during the year, which
is attributed to the fact that business
has been good on nearly all roads
Nothing has transpired to change the
opinion previously expressed to the
effect that absolute rate maintenance
and freedom from discrimination be
tween individuals and localities can not
be obtained under the unWiSe reStric-
tions now Incorporated in our laws. The
prospects for business during the cur
rent year, so far as they can be fore
cast. are fully as good as for the year
covered by this report"

July Railroad Earnings.

The gross and net earnings of United
States railroads for July disclose no
new feature. but serve to emphasize
the favorable nature of the results for
that month. To the activity of trade
there was added a grain movement of
exceptional dimensions. and thus the
conditions We're propitiOus in the high
est degree. In the gross the increase
on the roads reporting to the Financial
Chronicle reaches almost twelve and
One-haIf million dollars (S12.4 .169), or
1876 per cent; in the net nearly five and
One-fOurth million dollars (S5,2451 12),
the Improvement in this last instance
being over % per cent-25.S7 per cent.
Both for ratio and amount of increase
the month would rank with the very
best on record.

Future Of Immigrant Travel

st. Louis. Sept. 27-The Canadian
Pacific railroad has refused to join the
pool of the western lines on immigrant
traffic, and the Southern Pacific has re-
fused to stand any portion of the loss
of the western lines in meeting the
Canadian Pacific's rates to Pacific
Coast points. Consequently the west
ern roads have decided not to send any
more immigrants to San Francisco via
the Southern Pacific road. giving the
traffic instead to the Oregon Short Line
and the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton company. The passenger officials
of western lines say they will no longer
submit to the arbitration policy OF the
Southern Pacific.
