MARsHAILTowN. IOWA. THURSDAY. AUGUST 10 1899

According to reports Bell, out of q to-
tai Of 1872, has had several wounded sent
in and the insurgents are harassing
him in the rear.
The firing, except at isolated points,
had ceased by 10 o'clock.
There has been strong suspicion
that for some time past insurgents were
among the supposedly peaceful natives
entering Manila.
The provost marshal took steps to
learn II the suspicious were true, and
he soon discovered that rebels had en-
tered the city and were actively plot
ting to start riots. They were also en-
gagged in smuggling arms for the use of
the enemy.
AT midnight Tuesday night the men
engaged in hunting down the conspira-
tors located their headquarters in a ci-
gar factory in Lueggio.
company of the Sixth infantry, un-
der command of Capt. Ames, was at
once dispatched to the place, which was
surrounded. Then some of the soldiers
raided the factory and captured forty
three rebels, including number Of Of
ficers belonging to the Filipino army.
There were more men in the building,
but they managed to make their escape
by means of the roof of the factory and
the adjoining buildings. 1t is believed
however that the authorities have sue
ceeded in capturing powerful gang
that was giving valuable service to the
enemy.
Several days ago Gen Macarthur
learned from unquestionable sources of
a plot for a native uprising. which in
cluded the massacre of Gen. Macarthur
and the whole garrison of the city Of
San Fernando which city the United
States troops have occupied since it's
capture several months ago.
Soon after the discovery OF the plot
number of natives who said they
We're Macabebes. the ancient enemies Of
the Tagalos. sent dep.:ta.ions ia Geo.
Macarthur, protesting ardent friend
ship for the United States and begging
that they be given arms with which TO
fight the rebels.
Gen. Macarthur, knowing the con-
spiracy, instead of meeting the wishes
OF the deputation, gave orders for their
immediate Punishment from the city.
Notwithstanding the protestation Of
their good intention. the rebel sympa-
thiers. for such they We're, were forced
to gather their women and children to-
gether and leave the city.
Gen. Macarthur has also. as a meas.
ure of precaution, expelled every native
who does not own property. There have
ben so many cases Of treachery on the
part OF the so-called amigos" that
these drastic measures have become
necessary. and it is believed that the
lesson will prove salutary.
The cable connecting Taguig with Ca
lamba has ceased to work, and an expe-
dition has bsen sent out to repair it. 1t
Is not yet certain whether the cable
was cut by rebel sympathizers or was
broken by accident. 1t was laid for the
purpose of giving quick communication
with Gen. Halls column at the south
end OF l-agun de Bay.

Cleveland Business Men Organize to

Cleveland. o.. Aug. 1O.-Five hundred
business men of Cleveland held an anti
boycott meeting yesterday afternoon.
and fund of $4,000 was started to fer
ret out the criminals who are dynanit-
| ing cars and creating discord in the
city. In a few minutes time not less
than $4,000 was subscribed and the rest
of the amount will be fully made up to-
day.
boycott, strike disturbance and disor-
der We're made and Mayor Farley was
upheld in his measures to suppress the
selected to bring about lawful condi-
tions. A demand for United States
military post in Cleveland was unan!-
mously made, and steps We're taken to
increase the police force of the city.
At the strikers picnic held at Scenic
park, Mayor s. NJ. Jones. of Toledo, was
the guest of honor and orator Of the
day. In his address the mayor said:
we are in an epidemic of labor trou-
bles, strikes, lockouts and boycotts, af
fecting widely separated portions of our
country and as widely diversified indus
trial interests disturb the land the con-
dition may be fifty characterized as one
of industrial civil war. The boycott is
cruel and unjust weapon in many
ways. There is only one remedy for all
kinds OF labor difficulties. 1t may be
found in absolute municipal ownership
of operation and CONTROL
Mayor Jones held political confer
ence with strike leaders and local agi-
tators last evening. at which he decided
to leave the Cleveland end of his cam
paign as an independent candidate for
governor of Ohio entirely in the hands
of the street railway strikers.

Contents of the Dossier.

caris, Aug. 10.-Francis de Pressense,
editor of LIE Temps. cables the New
York Journal: l can speak with au-
thority upon the dossier now under ex-
animation at Rennes, for I know its
contents from the one man who has
mastered it best. That man is De-
mango, Dreyfus' lawyer. He studied
every word of it twice. first in 1894 and
again before the present trial begun.
The dossier is a collection of numerous
documents supposed to bear upon the
Dreyfus case: it consists of two parts,
namely. military and diplomatic. 1t is
composed of about 800 different papers.
OF these 700 are wholly unimportant.
There are many letters from women re-
failing gossip. These women are gener-
ally personal friends of army officers.
Their chatter is of no consequence.
1t is something like this: II met a
woman. who met another woman. who
heard another woman say she knew a
woman who dreamed that Dreyfus had
relations with the German embassy"
None but men blinded by class prejudice
could think of putting such silly letters
in the dossier. In point Of fact, some
of the higher officers are not only preju-
diced, but ignorant The intellectual
weakness of Boisdeffre and Mercier was
the laughing stock of the army before
attention was called off by the Dreyfus
case
or the 200 serious papers some are re-
ports Of more or less consequence.
There are some forgeries in the dossier.
The reason for secrecy does not arise
from anything the dossier contains re-
garding Dreyfus 1t is because certain
documents or letters mentioned a scan
dal in which Schwarzkopepn, the Ger
man military attache. and Panizzardi.
the Italian military attache, are al
legged to be concerned. The Countess
de MINISTER'S name is also connected
with that of another well-known wom-
an of Paris.
Revelations of this nature. even If
we'll founded, would not bring on war
with either Germany or Italy. II war
is made for such a cause. then let 1t
come. The German emperor with his
well-defined ideas would be the first to
punish the perpetrators of such crime.
The present examination Is not defin-
lite. II is for the purpose of separating
the documents pertaining to Dreyfus
from others. There will then be pub
lie examination Of the former, but
names the mention of which might give
offense will not be uttered. Such is CAL
lifet's order.
In the United States such evidence as
is furnished by the dossier would not be
strong enough to bring man into
court. Dreyfus will be acquitted.

Gratifics the Jinroes.

London. Aug. 10.-Mr. Chamberlain's
statement on the Transvaal crisis
caused a profound sensation. to the in
tense qualification of the jingoes. 1t
was a plain intimation that when free
from parliamentary control the minis
ters intend to enter on more agrees
sive policy. President Kruger will be
given the option of a quick choice be-
tween surrender or war.
Mr.. Chamberlain did not deny that
the proposal of a joint Anglo Boer in
auiry into the operation of the new
franchise law was breach Of the con-
vention under which all internal affairs
We're reserved to the control of the Boer
government and that a refusal there
fore would be an unjustiflable cause for
a quarrel.
The ministerial plan will be to go to
war if necessary and apply for bill
of indemnity at the next session. Many
|shrewd observers consider Chamberlain
under the delusion Of imagining such a
war would be popular in England.

Washington. Aug. 10.-AIiles had a

today. Root said afterward that the
