Cape Haytien, Hayti, Aug. Stems.
Pablo Reyes, Ramon Pacheco, elena Ma
varro, Jose Polo and Jose Jiminez have
taken up arms in Santo Domingo in
favor of Don Juan Isidro Jiminez and
occupy the plains of Chaguei and Gu
rabo as far as Jose de Las Matas, as
we'll as the towns of Guayabin, Sabi-
meta, Manzanillo and Dajabon, aban-
doned by the troops of the government
OF Santo Domingo. More than half of
these troops are said to have gone over
to the camp of Gen. Pacheco, who is
reported to have more than 500 we'll
armed men under his command.
Gen. Guellito, governor of Monte
Criste, who, it is claimed, has already
lost half his troops, who have gone over
to the enemy, is in desperate position
and unable to attack the revolutionists.
1t is added that he will be obliged to
capitulate.
Numbers of Dominicans are arriving
in Hayti by sea in order to join by cross
ing the frontier the camp of Gen.
Pachcco.

Killed While Preventing Suicide

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. Sired Hun
nell, a carpenter, undertook to commit
suicide at his home Monday evening by
shooting himself. His son, Archie Hun
nell, undertook to wrest his revolver
from him. The gun went off and the
son fell dead, shot through the heart.
A crowd was attracted to the house
and tried to arrest Hunnell, but with a
knife and gun he stood off score of
men, drove them away from the place
and then tried to take his own life. He
slashed himself viciously with the
knife, but the police came and arrested
him before he was able to end himself.
He will probably recover and is un-
doubtedly insane.

DREYFUS TRIAL BEGINS.
err Begins mt Rennes, France
Loudly Declares Innocence.

Rennes, Aug. s.-The proceedings of
the court-martial before which Capt.
Dreyfus is on trial opened at 7:1O
o'clock Monday morning and few
hours later adjourned, after deciding
to sit behind closed doors to-day and
as many of the following days as are
necessary for the examination of :he Sc
cret dossier. The next public session
will probably take place on Saturday.
Capt. Dreyfus entered the courtroom
with firm step, though his features
were pallid. He is partly bald, and
what hair he has is gray and close
clipped.
He answered the formal questions of
the judge as to his name, age, etc., IN
clear, determined voice. He sat fac
ing the judges with his hands resting
on his knees. an impassive figure. The
trial opened, so far as Rennes is con-
cerned, in an atmosphere of perfect
tranquility. The population is appar-
emily Indifferent.
The scene inside the courtroom was
| most animated. Every inch of space
was filled quarter of an hour before
the proceedings opened.
A very dramatic scene occurred when
Col. Jouaust handed the prisoner a
long strip of cardboard upon which the
bordereau was pasted.

Dreyfus replied, with a passionate

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Heavily Loaded Trolley Car Falls
Forty Feet from a Trestle.
Twenty Nine Persons Killed and
Many lnjureL-ScOre Of Excur-
siOnlsts Drowned at Bar
HarbOr, Me.

Bridgeport. Conn.,, Aug. Z. - Many
persons were killed by an accident on
the Stratford extension of the Shelton
Street Railway company at four o'clock
Sunday afternoon when loaded troll
ley car went off the trestle over Peck 5
millpond at Oronoque, about six miles
north of Bridgeport, and sank in the
fats 40 feet below. Twenty-Five peo-
pie are known to be dead and dozen
or more injured.
Only Two Escape.
Only two persons are known to have
escaped unframed. 1t is believed that
there were 43 passengers on the car,
but the indicator was removed by con-
ductor of another car and spirited
away, SO that it is impossible to state
accurately the number aboard.
The scene of the accident is midway
between Shelton and Bridgeport. The
car was north-bound, running toward
Shelton. 1t was in charge of Conductor
John Carroll, of Bridgeport, who was
among the killed, and N1otorman Ham
ilton, of Bridgeport, who escaped by
jumping.
Plunged from the Trestle.
The trestle is 40 feet long, made of
iron, with stone foundations, and was
not protected by guard rails. South of
the trestle is an incline, down which
the car ran at high rate of speed.
After it ran onto the trestle for about
ten feet the trucks left the rails and
then the car continued on the ties for
about Is feet when it went off the
trestle and dropped into the pond be-
low, overturning completely and up
ending. When the car struck the four
ton motor and the heavy trucks crushed
into it, instantly killing many of the
passengers.
Three physicians who were passen-
gers on car short distance behind ar
rived quickly on the scene and rendered
all possible assistance to the injured.
Word was sent to Bridgeport and three
ambulances and police wagon were
hurried to the scene and the injured
were taken to Bridgeport general hos
pital. A morgue was improvised in
the main room of the town hall at STRAIT
ford, and in very short time % bodies
were laid out awaiting Identification.
The accident was witnessed by Miss
Frances Peck, who resides about 400
feet from the bridge. She was upstairs
at her home as the car was passing, and
she says that it was running at an un-
usually fast rate. Frank Cramer, who
was bathing near the bridge, states
that the passengers were all singing
and in the most joyful mood as they
passed him. The road, which is prac-
tically controlled by the Bridgeport
Traction company, was opened for
traffic last Thursday.

TO PUSH THE WAR,
Philippines Will Be Prosecuted
with ViE0r.

Plattsburg, n. Y, Aug. o.-The war
in the Philippines is to be prosecuted
with vigor that ought to result in
speedy cessation OF hostilities there.
Secretary of War Root was seen Tues
day night in the Office of the Hotel
Champlain, just after he had said
good-by to the president and was pre-
pairing to take the train for Washing
ton. The secretary referred to his visit
to Plattsburg barracks Tuesday after
noon, where he witnessed a regi1nental
drill OF the Twenty-sixth regiment I'M
der command of Col. Rice. This regi-
ment has been recruited and organized
in little over three weeks and they
drilled like old veterans.
"Will the war in the Philippines be
prosecuted vigorously from now on?'
asked the interviewer.
MIR. Root turned on his heel and re-
piled, quick as flash: Eyes, sir; the
war in the Philippines from now ON
will be prosecuted with all possible en-
ergy. All the men, all the arms and all
the supplies necessary to end the
NAoooAS ~ euC 4SlduuS VIII DC 1urnlSne0
at the earliest possible moment"
1t would be impossible for anyone
to be more emphatic or determined
than Secretary Root is in his avowed
policy of ending the trouble in the
Philippines. He seldom talks for pub
LEGATION, and the fact that he had lust
come from two days conference with
President Mckinley adds interest to his
words.
Washington, Aug. IA statement
prepared at the war department shows
that by October 90 there will be at Ma.
Mia or on the way to the Philippines
10000 men. They will all reach the
island before the beginning of the dry

country are ten regiments of volun
teers, amounting to 1900 men; recruits
for skeleton regiments organized in the
Philippines, 1900; recruits for regulars

MEET THE ENEMY.
Gen. Macarthur Defeats = Aarse
Force of FiliptnOs Near san
Fernando.

Manila, Aug. 10.-Details of Gen. Mac
Arthur's advance beyond San Fernan-
do showed that the Americans covered
five miles at the first five hours and at
two o'clock had advanced six miles
along the railway, stretching on each
side of it for two miles and resting at
night three miles from Angeles, which
will be made the northern base OF
operations instead of San Fernando,
where a garrison of 600 men has been
left. The casualties are between so
and 40.
Angeles is one of the richest towns
north of Manila and is considered to be
better base of operations than San
Fernando. The forces at San Fernan-
do consisted of the Iowa regiment, the
Seventeenth regiment, the Ninth regi-
ment, the Twelfth regiment, Pell's new
Thirty-sixth regiment, a battalion of
the Sixteenth regiment, Troop E, of
the Fourth cavalry, and IS guns.
Reports from rebel sources say $50
Filipinos were killed in Gen. Halls en-
gagement at Calamba and in the sub
sequent skirmishes.
Manila, Aug. 10.-The steamer Sat-
urnus, of the Compania Martina,
coasting under the American flag, was
discovered August 2 by the United
States gunboat Pampanga beached at
San Fernando, under the insurgent
trenches there. The steamer was
boarded by an armed boats crew and
the passengers were taken off. The
cargo, consisting of general merchan-
disc and 100000 in specie, had been
sacked. Several attempts to tow the
Saturnus off were unsuccessful. The
Pampanga then left San Fernando in
search of further assistance, where
upon the insurgents returned and set
fire to the vessel.
Manila, Aug. 1o.-Aguinaldo has ap-
pealed to the powers for recognition of
Filipino independence" in docu-
ment dated from Tarlac, July p, and
signed by Buencamino. 1t has been re-
ceived by all the foreign consuls in Ma
Mia with the request that they for
ward it to their respective govern
ments.
The Filipinos use their old argument
that they had conquered the sovereign
ty % these islands from Spain before
the signing of the treaty of Paris, and
therefore Spain was in no position to
cede them to the United States. They
argue that the possession of 1000 Span
is'h prisoners, captured with their arms,
fighting against the Filipinos, sis elo-
quent proof of the nullity of Spanish
sovereignty, as when they surrendered
Spain's hold was irrevocably lost"

KILLED BY LIVE WIRE.
-Four Firemen Lose Their Lives
During Blaze in Oma-
ha, Neb.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 10.-Four firemen
lost their lives Wednesday night in a
blaze on an upper floor of the Mercer
Chemical company's building at Elev-
enth and Harvey streets. The fire in
itself was insignificant, the fatalities
resulting from contact with a live wire.
The dead fireman are: Joseph Adams,
lieutenant, No. 3 engine company; Otto
Geiseke, tillerman, of the big truck;
George Benson. pipeman, No. 3 engine
company; Charles Hopper, relief
driver, No. 3 engine company. Fireman
George Farmer and Albert Livingston,
of the Chemical company, also suffered
severely from shock. The fire orig
mated among the chemicals in a store
room on the fifth floor, and while at no
time was the building, a five-story
brick structure, in danger, the blaze
burned fercely in a small area.
When the fire had been brought un-
der control the fremen set to work
to lower the big extension truck upon
which they had been working. Sud
denly there was a suffering and sue
cession of flashes such as occur when
a connection is made with live wire
carrying high voltage of electric cur
rent. The men who were working al
the crank lowering the ladder writhec
in agony moment and then fell to the
pavement limp and apparently lifeless
In lowering the ladder it had come ir
contact with a live electric light wire
carrying a current of 1000 volts. The
injured men were at once carried into
an adjoining building and doctors who
were present used every means known
| to revive them
Hopper revived in few minutes and
saying he was all right started to walk
away. He had only gone about 50 feet
when he dropped dead. Geiseke showed
signs of reviving, but when only par
TALLY rallied sank back and expired
The other two never a any time showed
any signs of animation, and were
doubtless dead when picked up.

HELP BADLY NEEDED.
The Labor Famine in the Northwest
Unprecedented - Wages Aver
aging Two Dollars u Day.

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 9.-The labor
shortage is greater than ever and
wages average So day. Duluth con-
tinues to be the center of the labor
supply, and last week shipped laborers
through Minneapolis and St. Paul. En-
ployment agents say it is almost an
impossibility to keep men near the
cities, though the wages paid are
higher than in Dakota. The Foley
railway contractor here is paying the
highest wages to common labor in the
United States, but men are leaving for
next weeks Dakota harvest. The saw
mills in this district have just raised
wages, and at Cloquet 100 Chippewa
Indians have been taken into the mills
and common laborers at the mines are
getting So, and trainmen at the Penob-
scot mine, Hibbing, yesterday struck
for 1925. The labor famine has also
reached the lake interests. Dock and
deck hands are unusually scarce and
lake carriers have found it necessary
to advance wages.

The question of name for the horse
less carriage seems to be as vexed as the
worldold question of naming the baby.
If the horseless vehicle is the success
it seems likely to be; if, in years, it
shall have superseded, for all purposes
but those of private pleasure, the car
riage drawn by horses, the term which
refers to its manner of propulsion will
drop naturally into disuse. We shall
speak of the bus, the truck, the dray
the victoria, precisely as We do now,
and it will be taken for granted that we
mean the vehicle which is most general
" in use.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. o.-The Glenn
Lyon miners of the Susquehanna Coal
company. 1900 in number, joined the
Nanticoke strikers and now all of the
employees of the company in this region,
total of $500 are out, and the mines

quehanna Coal company says the strike
will not interfere with the company's
colleries in the Schuylkill region and
at Shamokin, except to give more work
to the men at these places. The strikers.
he says, demand an increase in wages
on the general ground that wages are
advancing throughout the country.
The men at the Exeter, Babylon and
Keystone colleries are still out, MAX
ing total of $500 miners on strike.
