CREEK AGAINST GREEK
General McAuthor Would Win the
Philippines With Natives.

(By Gable to The Associated PreSS.)
MANILA, May 27, 1895 P. M.-Gen-
eral Macarthur is in favor of the ex-
pertinent of enlisting the Macabebees
against their old enemies, the Tagalogs.
A delegation of the leading Macabebees
has visited the General and it's spokes-
man read an address assuring the Am
erican Commander of the friendship of
the Macabebees and Of their willingness
to transfer their allegiance from Spain to
the United States They complained that
the Tagalogs murdered them and burned
their villages, and they asked to be pro-
tected and given arms to protect them
selves.
The Macabebees have greatly assisted
in posting the Americans or the country
and the positions of the enemy.
General Macarthur would arm hum
dred of these men and use them as scouts,
and, if the experiment proved success
full he would enlist more of them.
Major General Otis has issued orders in
viting volunteers to reenlist for six
months, according to the act of Congress
bearing on the matter.
The United States transport Morgan
City, which left San Francisco, April %.
with six hundred recruits for various
regiments here on bord, has arrived and

ceeds In Getting Some
thing Done to
Boulevard.

The Boulevard Commissioners have
made some little progress on the repairs
of the Boulevard in the Bergen section,
for which the cycling fraternity is duly
thankful An entirely new top dressing
has been laid and rolled on the western
side of the big road, from Glenwood ave-
nue. to Communipaw avenue. Work on
the road from Communipaw avenue to
the Central Railroad Bridge on the west
side is progressing. The opposite side,
from the railroad bridge to Communipaw
avenue, is in deplorable condition
At Clendenny avenue there are two
big piles of dirt and stones directly under
thearch light and about four feet out from
the curb. Some of these stones and bricks
are the size of an ordinary building brick.
There is also a carload OF broken stones
lying on the road a few feet from the
other piles. These are dangerous to the
unwary rider, who is not acquainted with
the treaeherous state of affairs. There are
thousands of stones scattered over this
portion of the road, and riders are con-
stantly in danger of receiving injuries.
The case of William Dox, who was
thrown from his wheel Wednesday night,
is an example. The top dressing has eff
tirely disappeared, and the bed rocks, the
size of a belgian block, are what cyclists
are forced to ride over. The sensation IS
anything but pleasant
In the Greenville section riding has been
made more pleasant, several dozen cart
loads of sand and loose stones were
scraped off the road. leaving the founda-
ton bare. However, this is far better than
riding through at least four inches OF
heavy sand. Under the Lehigh Valley
Railroad bridge, just over the Bayonne
line, there is a dangerous spot covered
with large loose stones, which riders
should shun. This section of the road
needs repairing badly, as the Hill near
dents

PLAYED A TRICK ON PEsHALL.


Some malicious person, who does not
love dogs, last night played trick on
Lawyer Charles Peshall, who is a great
dog fancier and who is ever ready to
defend dogs and their owners in the
police courts and wherever else they may
be attacked. He is famous for his efforts
to have official dog catching abolished
and the dog license ordinance revoked
Yesterday he appeared in he Second
Criminal Court and through his efforts
the life of a dog, the property of Jacob
Boucher of the Boulevard, near Lake
street, was saved. This morning, Lawyer
Peshall found two dead dogs lying in
front of his home at Grand and War;
rem streets. He is looking for the man
who put the bodies there.

In all the history Of Nevada jour

was framed by the Silver Party of
Nevada endorsing William Stewart
for senator Of the United States and
the 1arious county platforms of the
parry endorsed the State platform,
Or hese platforms a sufficient num-
Der IF candidates were elected to re-
turn Stewart to the Senate of the
Uni I'd States and now the newspaper
org2ns of Mr.. Newlands hurl their
voc. bularies OF fifty vituperation at
the .aembers who were elected on the
Silver Party tickets and charge them
with being brought with Stewards
money simply for having committed
the EeinOus crime of having repeatedly
refu ed to be ~purchaced with
Nj. Newlands Nancy.

him Oh the Sth of November last.
They do not abuse Richard Kirnen
of til S county who was elected by the
same ballots that elected MCGOWAN
and Who also voted for Stewart.
Tie reason is prain. The conspir-
ato1s who were out peddling the New
