CALIxTO MURDERED.
lnsnrgent Leader in nIindanao Aasas.
nInated by Orders of a Native Mayor.

Manila, Dec. 1.-By Associated
Press. 1.-THE steamer Salvador, from
Zamhoanga, island of A1indanao, brings
details of the occupation of the town
by Commander, Very, of the. United
States gunboat Castine. The revolu-
tionists in Mindanao were led by AL
vareZ and Calixto, who left Luzon some
time ago. The commercial depression
and lack of food resulting from the
islands blockade set the people against
the revolutionists and eliminated in the
assassination, on Nov. 10, of CaliNto, the
real leader of the revolution, by the or
ders of Midel, mayor of the town of
Tetuan. Midel at once repaired to the
Castine and arranged with Commander
Very, for the occupation of Zamboanga.
Very asked that Dato Mundi, with 500
of his followers, stationed on neigh
boring island, come to Zamboanga. On
the following morning Midel raised the
American flag over Zamboanga, the in
surgents offering no resistance. The
Castine saluted with twenty-one guns,
and Very landed 100 blue jackets and
took possession of the town and forth
tications. Dato Mundi's men arrived in
the afternoon. They are armed with
wooden shields and swords and were
used on picket duty.
Very dispatched the gunboat Manila
on Nov. Is to Jolo, to convey troops to
reinforce him. \ company of the
Twenty-third regiment, under Captain
Nicho.s, arrived on Nov. II, and two
more companies followed them shortly.
Mundi's followers then returned home.
Alvarez sought to arrange for sur
render of arms and artillery pieces.
On the morning of Nov. 20, Midel
called a meeting of the local chiefs,
who formally deposed Alvarez as leader
of the revolutionists in the island and
elected Midel president of new insult
ar government established under Amer
lean sovereignty. The chiefs formally
requested Very to grant them exemp-
ton from taxes until the re-establish-
ment of commercial relations, permits
sion to carry arms in the mountains,
religious freedom, and power to con-
duct the local government as they had
previously done, which requests, pend
inc the arrival of Brigadier General
Bates, the military governor of the dis
trict, the commander granted. Very
then affected an apparent reconciliation
between Alvarez and Sfidel and their
followers, Alvarez signing formal res
ignation of his position as revolutionary
leader, Nov. 90. Alvarez delivered thir-
teen Nordenfeldts and Maxims, with am.
munition, which were stored on the
boat Castine.A Eight Nordenfeldts and
MaXims were delivered to the army in
Zamboanga, as were also over 200 rifles
and ammunition.

ROBBED OF HIS SAVINGS.
Rock Island section Man at BrIghto
Loses $500.

Brighton, Dec. 1.-(Special.) Joe
Ruggles, section man employed by
the Rock Island railroad company and
living near their tracks just east of
town, was robbed of all his savings
about $300-some time last night. Dis
trusting banks, he had for security,
put his money in fruit jar and bu-
ried it in the cave. that he used as
cellar. This mornino broken dish
attracted his attention to the fact that
some one had been int the cave and upon
examination he found that his money
was gone. 1t was not known that any
one except himself and wife knew the
money was buried there and its disap-
pearance is somewhat of mystery.

many of the tin plate works are now
closed. Some of the iron works about
Pittsburg are running half time.
The shipments of boots and shoes in
four weeks have been 373,3O7 cases, IA
cent larger than in 1894, exceeding
those of other years even more. But
new business, although considerable in
quantity, shows marked decrease be-
cause of the prolonged rise in prices,
even though that rise has been rela-
lively less than the advance in leather,
which still continues, or in hides,
which has apparently been checked
again.
Failures for the week have been 144
in the United States, against 2S1 last
year, and twenty-one in Canada,against
nineteen last year.
Bradstreet's says:
Warm weather and a holiday have
impaired an appearance ofiirregularity
and even dullness to some lines of dis
|tributive trade, completing month
which has been on the whole quieter
than was the preceding month, but
one which still makes satisfactory COM
parison with corresponding period
last year, when the weather conditions
particularly favored distribusive BUSH
ness in seasonable goods. The price sit
uation generally is apparently one of
notable strength in view of these con-
ditions.
