martial---Major Diggles
Wounded.

NEW YORK, May 10.-A dispatch to
The Journal and Advertiser from Ma
Mia says: Only the entreaties of Aguin-
aldo averted last Tuesday civil war
between the forces of his two rival gen.
erals, Luna and Mascardo. They were
actually drawn up in battle array.
This and a positive confirmation Of
the news that Luna has been danger
ously wounded in the shoulder in the
battle of San Tomas are the most i'm
portant items of intelligence brought by
the army gunboats Laguna de Bay and
Cavadonga, which returned from a
brisk expedition up the San Fernando
river. 1t was Immediately before the
battle of San Tomas that the insurgents
so nearly arrived at the point of begin
ming to exterminate one another. Gen
eral Luna, when he saw that an en-
gagement with the American troops
was inevitable, sent back an aide post
haste to Bacolor, where General Mas
cardo was, demanding reinforcements.
Mascardo's reply was that he would
take orders from no one but Aguinaldo.
This defiance so Infatuated Luna that,
in spite Of the impending conflict with
the common enemy, he took 1900 of his
soldiery and made forced march to
Bacolor, intent on chastising his COM
rade in arms. sa.-
-... Mascardo Was Ready.
Mascardo was nothing 10th to fight it
out and ordered his command into line
of battle. Shouts of hatred and defiance
were heard on both sides. Outside the
opposing forces the insurgent camp was
all confusion. Aguinaldo, terrified by
the situation, ordered his chief of staff,
Colonel Arguelles, to make peace at all
hazards. The soldiers had loaded their
pieces and were waiting for orders to
begin the onslaught when Arguelles
galloped between the lines, frantically
waving flag of truce.
There was an angry conference be-
tween him and the rival generals. Ag-
uinaldo was drawn into it. With all
the intensity at his command he begged
Luna and Mascardo not to plunge the
Filipino forces into civil strife at time
when they were already broken and de-
moralized by successive defeats at the
hands of the Americans. His entreaties
prevailed for the time being. Luna sui
lenly returned to the front after the
commanding general had provided him
with reinforcements and ordered Mas
cardo to be courtmartialed for not hav-
ing sent them at first.
The battle of San Tomas followed,
and Luna, on whose ferocity in the
field Aguinaldo placed his chief reli-
ance, received wounds that will disable
him for the rest of the campaign, and
may cause his death.

CHICAGO, May 10.-The Post says: A
gigantic combination, gathering in all
the flour milling corporations at the
head Of the lakes, New York city, Buff
falo and Syracuse, has been effected,
and the score or more mills embraced
in the deal will be turned over TO the
new management. The consolidation
is capitalized at $40,0O0,0OO. Officers
and board of directors have already
been elected and the leading spirits of
the organization propose Immediately

will be in New York. George Urban

and Charles Mcintyre of New York,

mills controlled by the combination will

HAS Started North From Balinag and Is
Meeting Little Resistance.

ABOUT T ENDED
State and War Department Off,
Gals Look For a Speedy
Termination
OF HOstilities in the Philippines
Belief Based on Private In
formation
As to the Negotiations Which
Have Been Going on at
Manila
President Will Allow No Prom
ises as to the Future of the
Islands.

wAsHrNaroE, May s.-The officials
Of the state and war departments arp
looking for speedy collapse of the i'll
surrection IN the Philippines. Not only
is this expectation based on the private
advices that have come from the Philip
pine commission as to the negotiations
that have been going on between that
body and the insurgent representatives,
but also upon the successful develop
ment Of MacArthur's and Lawton's
campaigns. So far as the commissions
reports are concerned they indicate
that the insurgents have at last realized
the inevitable break down of their
struggle and are simply striving, by
protracting their resistance, to secure
the most liberal terms possible in the
erection of government in the Philip
pines. They have not in any diplomatic
sense acknowledged the sovereignty of
the United States, but have recognized
the physical domination of our military
forces, and while they have talked more
or less Of independence, even at the last
moment, without idoubt they will &C.
cept readily any proposition looking to
q protectorate. The presidents instruc-
tions, however, are clear on this point,
and the commission understands that it
is to take no action in way of making
promises that will deprive congress of
hand in disposing of the future Of the
Philippines.
VIII Give Leaders Good Places.
It is believed that an animating pur-
pose in the Philippines presentation is
to make sure that whatever form of
government is adopted will afford lu-
crative and influential places for the
many ambitious Filipino leaders. The
administration sees nothing in this
aspiration irreconcilable with a firm
government over the islands by the
United States, the opportunity for the
Filipinos being found in a liberal pro-
vision for municipal and even provincial
native government in - the islands.
United States officials properly distrib-
uted throughout the islands, in super
visory capacities, charged to interfere
as little as possible with local affairs so
long as they are conducted with
out abuses, and a few garrisons
of troops at strategic points, supported
by naval contingent, it is thought by
officials here, may prove to be all that
is necessary for the effective mainten-
ance of the United States sovereignty
over the islands while meeting the
native aspirations for home rule. The
Philippine commission has been in
structed on these points and President
Schurman, especially, is sanguine of the
commissions ability to bring about the
acceptance of these conditions by the
insurgents.

OBJECT TO GIVING UP ARMS.

HAVANA, May 20-Ha7ana is in q
ferment again over the idea that the
Washington administration has deter
mined to take the arms of the Cuban
troops, and to retain them in military
possession This view of the latest
news from Washington has been tele-
graphed to the various cities
Governor General Brooke is thus far
unaware, save through the press tele-
grams, of any dissatisfaction on the
part of General Alger, secretary of
war. with his General Brooke's) plan
to have the arms deposited in the
care of tie mayors of the municipal
tiles, nor has he received any linking
of the secretary's purpose to lay the
matter before President Mckinley.
Consequently, unless instructions to
the contrary are received from the
Washington administration, the gov
ernor generals order respecting the
distribution of the SO. 900, 900, as mod
flied. will be issued to-day. The sec
rotary of war has been informed as to
the substance of this order, in the
usual course of business.
Havana's midday papers publish the
Washington news, some of them com
menting editorially upon it. As the
point about where the arms are to be
kept appears to be thought of vital i'm
pOrta1ce in Washington, the conVic-
tion announced there that the mayors
cannot be trusted with them is a cause
of fresh discomfort, just at the mo-

Article of the agreement between
General Gomez and Robert P. Porter,
President McKinley's special represen-
tative, runs as follows:
The Cubans shall surrender their
arms to the Cuban assembly or to its
representatives"
General Gomez, who at the time of
coming to the agreement with Mr..
Porter, had not quarreled with the
assembly. insisted upon this point.
Since the quarrel, he has again raised
the point repeatedly, saying also that
Mr.. Porter brought full written au-
thority from President Mckinley and
in the Presidents name agreed that
the arms should go into the custody
of the assembly or its representatives.
At Monday nights meeting OF the
Society of Veterans of Independence
organized by former members of the
assembly-the members diIated upon
article 4, asserting bad faith, the pres
ident's plenipotentiary having agreed

tatives of the assembly, while,
through the connivance of Gomez,
they were to be surrendered to the
American army.
La Discussion says: Secretary AL
ger appears to wish to provoke a con-
hict here. He is more distinguished
in the United States as business
= man than as a politician, and his rela-
tions with certain syndicates are we'll
known. He opposes everything that
Cuba wants and favors every thing
that would cause feeling and provoke
excitement. His attitude prompts the
question, What does he want? Does
he desire a war here similar to that in
the Philippines? We are forced to be-
ieve that he only approves what is
unsatisfactory to Cuba"
