QUIET AT ND.
The Strikers Are Depressed by the Press
 enCe of the Troops,

Cleveland, July 27.-The presence of the troops has had a depressing effect upon the rioters and up to 10 o'clock tonight there had not been single outbreak of violence. The cars were operated on nearly all lines on nearly the usual schedules, but in some parts of the city they ran almost empty, the boycott of the lines by the working peo- pie being almost universal. The boy colt has extended to the soldiers. Mer- chants are refusing to sell them any supplies.
 At the special meeting of the city council this evening the attempt to in- stitute an investigation of the strike on the Big Consolidated street railway lines by special committee of that body was defated.
 Mayor Farley opposed the proposed action in vigorous speech, in which Ee declared that the appointment of the special committee would interfere with the plans of the executive for the crush ing out of disorder.
 Many of the strike sympathizers have been very bitter toward Mayor Farley. This has led him to provide a guard for his residence.

CALAMBA CAPTURED.
American Loss is Four Killed and
 Twelve Wounded

Manila, July 27, 7:10 D. m.-Brigadier General R. H. Hall with 1000 men has
 captured Calamba on Laguna de Bay
 The loss of the United States forces was four killed and twelve wounded
 Calamba is town on Laguna de Bay about thirty miles southeast of Manila. It is much further south than the United States troops have heretofore penetrated on land. It is in the prov ince of Laguna, has population of 11,476, and is twenty-seven miles from Santa Cruz on the eastern shore of the bay. It's capture is not considered of any strategical importance except as a part of the plan to harass and worry the insurgents.
 It is reported in Filipino circles in Manila that the insurgents recently re- ceived conSignments of Saltpetre and lead from Japan. The insurgents had been experiencing many difficulties in the manufacture of good powder, that which they produced lacking power of penetration and range.
 The two friars who were recently ar- rested here on suspicion that they were bearers of messages to Aguinaldo from the Filipino junta at Hong Kong have been liberated for want of evidence.
 As soon as authorization can be re- ceived from Madrid to incur the neces- sary expenditures, the Spanish general, Jaramillo, will send commission com- posed of Senores Toral and Rio to Tarlac to carry food, money medicine and clothes to the Spanish prisoners there. The commission will also reopen negotiations for the release of the cap- tured. It is reported that S3000, 900 in money will be offered to the in- surgents for the release of the Span- iards. General Jaramillo declines to con- firm this report

London, July 27.-The members of the

 entertained in the parliament building
 to-day, where their clean-cut appear ance elicited much admiration from former athletes who are now members of the house of common. The American athletes occupied seats in the distin- guished visitors gallery of the house of commons, and subsequently, tea was served to them on the terrace, where A. J. Balfour, Joseph Chamberlain and others joined the party. MT Balfour especially evinced interest in the career of the team, asking many questions and expressing the hope that an Oxford Cambridge team would go to the United States next year. Lees Knowles, mem- Der of parliament for the west division of Stafford, and former champion rum ner at the half-mile distance, then con- ducted the team through the building.
