Mr. Daish admitted firing the revolver
three times, not, however at Aston. and
claimed that two were blank cartridges;
also that he did not shoot until after he
bad been struck several times with bricks
ana stones and had been thrown at about
seven times. He would not, he said have

RAILROAD CERTIFICATES.


Through proceedings in equity, instituted
today by Fannie W. Wallace against the
Metropolitan Railroad Company and the
Washfr gton Loan and Trust Company, the
complainant seeks to have the defendants
restrained from releasing the second mort
gage of the railroad company from the lien
of certificate of Indebtedness held by the
complainant. Furthermore, it is asked that
the defendants be erjoined from in any way
interfering with the security Of the certifi-
cate under the mortgage until the certifi-
cate shall by its terms be due and payable,
and shall have been regularly paid.
Unless restrained, by the court, it is
stated. the Metropolitan Railroad Company
will refuse to the complainant the benefit
OF the second mortgage after August y,
1882 and the Washington Loan and Trust
Company will release the mortgage as to
the complainants certificate. This certfh-
cate. it is declared, is now commanding
high premium in the open market, and is a
safe and desirable investment. 1t is added
that should the railroad company and the
trust company be permitted to carry out
their purpose of denying the certificate the
benefit of the second mortgage the certifi-
cate will greatly depreciate in value and
will cause irreparable injury.
me proceedings are brought, so 1t is
stated, because the railroad company has
stipulated that all holders Of certificates
similar to that of the complainant must
agree on or before the 9th instant to sell
their certificates to the Metropolitan Rail-
road Company at 120 per cent of their par
value, after receiving thirty days notice,
and that assent to such agreement must be
witnessed by the holders presenting their
certificates to the Washington Loan and
Trust Company, and having them stamped
by the trust company. In default of such
assent, it is charged, the Metropolitan Rail-
road Company threatens to refuse after the
9th instant to all unstamped certificates
the security and benefit of the second mort
gage or deed of trust, and has directed the
Washington Loan and Trust Company, as
trustee, to release the deed of trust to
all the certificates remaining unstamped

Alleged Interview With Admiral
Dewey Regarding War With Germany

LONDON, August 2-The Daily News
and the Standard this morning print Vienna
dispatches, saying that people who had in
tercourse with Admiral Dewey are con-
WINGED of the incorrectness of the interview
recently printed in a New York paper, in
which the admiral was made to say: Our
next war will be with Germany"
They say that Admiral Dewey not only
said nothing pointing to strained relations
between the United States and Germany,
but even denied that Capt. Coghlans words
could possibly have been based on anything
which he dewey had said. as Capt. Cogh-
Ian had never been in mis- company
On the other hand Admiral Dewey does
not conceal the displeasure he feels over
the arrogant conduct Of the Germans in
Manila.

He Will Be Showered with Them
Upon His Return.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Admiral Dew
ey, upon his return to the United States,
is to be presented a monster testimonial,
consisting of autograph letters from near
ly every member of President McKinley's 8
cabinet, governors of states and prom
inent United States senators.
The secretary of the treasury says In
his written opinion Of Dewey that he re-
CARDS him as one of a galaxy of men
who have made the American navy hon
orable and illustrious; the secretary
writes that no artificial commemoration
Of such victory Is at all needful to pre-
serve 1t forever in the American heart.
The secretary Of the navy expresses sim

reminds Americans that Dewey In a day
added an archipelago to the possessions
Of the United States. The secretary of
war writes that he gladly adds his tribute
Of praise to Dewey, and the postmaster
general enthusiastically seconds the prop

president.
While Admiral Dewey will be the re-
cipient of, many honors on his return
home, this testimonial will be the first

IN BATTLE ARRAY.
Forces of Rival Filipino Generals
Were Ready to shoot Each other.

Forces of Rival Filipino Generals
Were Ready to shoot Each other.
NEW YORK, May "A dispatch from
Manila says:
Only the entreaties Of Aguinaldo
averted, last Tuesday, civil war be-
tween the forces of his rival generals,
Luna and Mascardo They were actually
drawn in battle array. This and posi-
tive confirmation of the news that Luna
has been dangerously wounded IN the
shoulder in the battle of San Tomas are
the most important Items of intelligence
brought today by the army gunboats La
guna de Bay and Cavadenga, which re-
turned from a brisk expedition up the
San Fernando river.
It was Immediately before the battle
of San Tomas that the insurgents so
nearly arrived at the point Of beginning
to eXterminate one another. Gen. Luna,
when he saw that an engagement with
the American troops was inevitable, sent
back an aide post haste to Bacolor, where
Gen Mascardo was, demanding rein
forcements. Mascardo's reply was that
he would take orders from no one but
Aguinaldo. This defiance SO infuriated
Luna that, in spite of the impending con-
f1ict with the common enemy, he took 1,600
of his soldiers and made forced march
to Bacolor, intent on ehastising his COM
10th to fight 1t out, and ordered his com
mand 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, Col. Arguelles,
to make peace at all hazards. The SOL
diers 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 between
him and the rival generals Aguinaldo
was drawn into 1T. With all the intensity
of his command he begged Luna and Mas
cardo not to plunge the Filipino forces
into civil strife at a time when they were
already broken and demoralized by sue
cessive defeats at the hands of the Ameri-
cans. His entreaties prevailed for the
time being. Luna sullenly returned to
the front, after the commanding general
had provided him with reinforcements
and ordered Mascardo to be court-m mar
tailed for not having sent them at first
The battle of San Tomas followed, and
Luna, on whose ferocity in the field
Aguinaldo placed his chief reliance, re-
ceived wounds that will surely disable
him for the rest of the campaign and may
cause his death.

is evident from a conversation with Mr..
Johnson that this is the idea he is work.
ing on, and that, so far as his work and
influence go, the next platform of the
national Democratic party will be built
on the lines which the rank and file of
the Democratic party NOSE desire.
IN MIR. JONES' STEAD.
Senator Jones has requested me to
represent the Democratic national organ
izat1on in any matter requiring action

to reporter for the Glob e yesterday,
and also to act as secretary until Mr.
Walsh returns. AS Mr.. Walsh is now on
his way home he will Doubtless soon re-
sumo the duties of secretary of our ma
tional committee"
What is the nature of the work that
the committee is now doing?" Mr. John
son was asked.
1.-The work now being prosecuted is
on the lines Of organization and finance.
In less than q year the presidential cam
paign of 1900 will be upon US, and never
in the history of the party was there
such need for prior preparation. Gov
Tilden's idea was that two-thrds of the
voters must be lined up in favor of our
policies and candidates at the commence
ment of a campaign, in order to retain a
majority at the election, in view Of Re-
publican methods of coercion and corrup-
ton. Hence the need of active and in
cessant organization during the coming,
year.
"a national election has assumed such
proportions in this country" continued
Mr.. Johnson, "that the sum necessary to
put in operation the ordinary machinery
of a campaign and get the voters to the
polls is at best a large sum. The COM
mittee must collect what is needed to in
augurate and conduct an honest, sue
cessful and legitimate canvass of the
600 voters who will participate in
the next election, and we must main
ly look to the rank and file of our own
party for what we need, 1T is apparent
that this branch of the work needs con-
tinuous and earnest attention. 1t is on
these lines that the work of the commit
tee is being prosecuted at present. 1t Is
being carried on by the members in their
various states, acting in conjunction with

1.-THE platform of 1900 will, am sure, be

but emphasized the distinction between

will be no more Democratic platforms
which have to be labeled to distinguish

HE WANTS AN ARMY.
Gen. LOmez Suggests That About
1900 Men Would Suffice

Gen. LOmeZ Suggests That About
$4,000 Men Would Suffice
HAVANA, May Seen. Maxine Co
mez is trying to persuade Gov. Gen.
Brooke that a Cuban standing army of
$4,000 men is a necessary adjunct to the
proper government of the island. His
views he has presented In writing, but
without eliciting, as yet, any reply.
The proposition is not likely to receive
much consideration at. headquarters,
where considerable surprise was occa-
stoned by this magnificent project, which,
if adopted, Gomez doubtless believes,
would be placed under his personal con-
troll.
The growing conviction that there is
no need of rural guards except in the
wilder portions Of the provinces of Santi-
ago and Puerto Principe is confirmed by
the investigations of Capt. Hickey. of the
governor generals staff, who returned
yesterday from a 2,000-mile trip Of the
provinces east of Havana, which has oc-
cupied two months. Capt. Hickey's care
fully written reports to Gen. Brooke as
sert that with the exception of a few in
Santiago province he found no trace of
bandits.
Political feeling in the country dis
tricts," he declares, lis far less intense
than in Havana, where the malcontents
are gathered. Most of the Cubans of the
provinces favor ultimate independence,
but they are willing to have the American
occupation continue for a year, at least,
for they recognize that the islands rev.
enues are expended honestly upon better
ments.'
