Cleveland, O.. June 17.-When cars
began running today over the lines
opened by the street railway company
since the strike began, the tracks in ev-
cry direction were found piled high with
obstacles of all kinds. These were re-

stones were thrown at points on all the
lines, and on Perkins avenue two cars
We're stopped by a crowd which was

On the south side. two cars at Clark
and Jennings avenues found the switches
broken. These were repaired in the
midst of q bowling mob, and the cars
rushed on to Clark avenue and Pearl

crowd gave warning. and the crowds con-

Wagons, trucks and other conveyances
We're purposely driven across the tracks
and the blockade was complete.
The police then charged the mob with
a vengeance. The crowd was especially
disorderly The usual yolleys of mis-
siles were hurled and the windows of the
cars shattered. As the mob was beaten
back at one point, it advanced at an
other.
During the battle Edward Miller was
struck over tie head by an officer and
very badly injured. The cars were taken
back to the city.
Half dozen people were injured in
the Clark avenue riot. Edward Miller,

SAYS HE SAW LUNA KILLED.
Escaped Spanish Prisoner Tells Story
of the Assassination

Manila, June IA Spanish officer,
who has been prisoner in the hands Of
the rebels and who was released by
Agunaldo, has come through our lines to
Manila. He claims to have been wit
ness of the assassination of Gen Luna
According to his story, the relations be-
tween the two Filipino leaders had been
strained to the breaking point because of
Lunas attempts to assume control of af-
fairs, and the final rupture was forced
by Aguinaldo issuing secret orders to the
provincial governments. Luna thereupon
notified AguinaldO demanding copies of
the documents, and Aguinaldo replied
CURLY that Luna was a general of the
army, and that the civil government did
not concern him. Luna, on opening the
reply at his headquarters, in the pres
ence of his officers, exclaimed hotly:
He will be dead tomorrow
One officer, who was friendly to Agui-
naldo, FASTENED to warn him, and Agui-
naido called together twenty trusted SOL
diers, fellow townsmen of his, and sta
toned them around his house with in
structions to kill any one attempting to
enter regardless of rank
Luna appeared the next day. and saw
Aguinaldo at the window.
A member of the guard said:
'Aguinaldo has gone to inspect the
troops"
Luna then exclaimed: "You are liar"
drew his revolver, struck the guard, and
tried to force an entrance into the house
Before he could use his revolver one of
the guards bayonetted him, another shot
him in the back. and others stabbed him.
In ali he had twenty wounds Luna's
aide-de-camp was killed in the same way
The Spaniard's story has not entirely
dispelled the doubts of Luna's death and
bets that he is alive are freely made at
the clubs Some people think Aguinaldo
has taken pains to send the Spaniard here
