BAR HARBOR ACCIDENT.
Twenty People Dead as a Result Of
the Catastrophe.

BAR HARBOR Me.), Aug. IA
careful examination by divers in the
vicinity of the Mount Desert ferry slip,
the scene of yesterdays accident and
investigation of shore, up to 10 O'Clock
this morning, seem to indicate that the
twenty victims reported last night are
all who persisted as a result of the
catastrophe.
Mr. Southland of Bangor, who was Sc
riously injured is not likely to recover,
and two other persons are suffering
from pneumonia. The others injured
are in a favorable condition.
The complete list of dead shows no
change from that sent out last night,
save that the woman who was desig-
mated as unknown has been identified
as Mrs. Sleeper of Bangor. p =

WAR IN PHILIPPINES.
The Napidan Shells a Town on the
Lake Near Santa Cruz.


MANILA, Aug. 8 (via Hongkong).-
The gunboat Napidan last week shelled
Paete, on the lake near Santa Cruz.
The town was full of people, who had
been encouraged to return after Cen
eral Lawton's expedition, having been
assured that they would not be mo-
Tested if they peaceably attended to
their business.
Lieutenant Copp, who was in COM
mand of the Napidan, heard that the
insurgents had reoccupied the town,
and steaming close in, opened fire with
his six-pounders without warning. The
people, seeing the boat approaching.
fled to the hills in a terrified condi-
ton, and with barely time to escape
One child was killed and many build
ings were damaged. The authorities
express great regret on account of the
incident.
After the taking of Calamba by the
Americans, General Lawton ordered
that Captain Otis of the Washington
Regiment be relieved of his command
and placed under arrest on account OF
slowness and seeming reluctance of the
companies under his command in obey
ing the order to disembark from the
cascoes and wade through the marshes
under fire The men say that ma
jority of them have been sick and
unfit for duty, and were given to un-
derstand that they would not be asked
to do any more fighting.

were found to be in possession of the
lighthouse. Landing party command
ed by Ensign E. L. Bissett, encountered
resistance No casualties in our par
ty Loss in killed, one officer and one
man of the enemy. Diegago Manilo,
chief of the Balabac Moros, was killed,
seven taken prisoners and two escaped.
Chief of party was very unpopular with

ands owing to fear of him. Manila

The island of Balaac. the scene of
the brush with the Moros, detailed in
Admiral Watson's dispatch, is situated
southeast of the island of Palawan,
which is the most westerly of the Phil
ippine Islands and directly west of the
island of Panay. The light there,
which was re-established by Lieuten-
ant Commander Nazro, shows for
twenty-five miles and is regarded as of
considerable Importance to navigation,
being directly in line between Singa-
pore and the Straits Settlements and
the islands to the north. The island
is, twenty-five miles long and accord
ing to information in the possession of
the department, has but a population
of LOO. These are described in Ad-
miral Watson's dispatch as Moros, the
name applied to the fierce natives of
the Sulu group. They are Moham-
medans, and are regarded as the most
warlike people in the Philippines. The
capital, Balibac, has population of
1000 The Spanish Government %es-
tablished a military post there in
1857.
The Manila, the vessel described in
the dispatch, is a captured transport
It's mission in that vicinity is unknown
at the Navy Department. 1t is evil
dent from the dispatch that the Ma
Mia has left a landing force there to
guard the light, and that the Charles
ton, which is on it's way there, will see
that the landing party receives such re-
Inducements as may be deemed neces-
Sary.
