CAPT. TILLEY MISSING.
Feared That the Gable Layer Has Been
Killed.

killed.
Washington, May 2S.-General Graely
today received a cablegram from Ma
jor Thompson at Manila, reporting that
a party landing for the repair of the
cable at Escalante, island of Negroes,
had been treacherously attacked by
natives, that Captain George H. Tiiley
OF the signal corps is missing. and that
the worst is feared.
Tilley's services in the Philippines
have been marked by such ability,
courage and zeal that his superiors
placed him in the foremost rank OF.
subordinate officers. The cable op IRA
lions referred to are not those OF the
signal corps. but of the Eastern Extern
sion Gable company that has been per
mitted to repair and replace certain
cables in the Visayan ISLANDS.
Tilley doubtless accompanied the ex-
petition as the representative Oh the
United States, the supervision OF an
telegraph lines and caples oSlns ~ ~
of his duties. No other casualtles III tIIe
signal CORPS have been as yet reported
in this expedition.
The war department today made pun
lie this dispatch from Gen. GUS CUM
manding at Manila:
1.-TWO battalions, Twenty-tnlro l l.Ll

ish troops withdrawn from Aampoansa
after battle with insurgents, with Sc
we're loss to latter. Spanish loss, nlIie
killed, twenty-seven wounded, among
whom Commanding General Montero
died from wounds, buried here yester-
day. Insurgents used rifle, artlliery
and ammunition captured from gun
boats, expending major part or aIillilu-
milton. Conference followed between
Gen. Rios, who went from Manila 20

ter stated to him would not oppose
landing Americans, but would accept
conditions in Luzon. Spanish troops
withdrawn now here; depart for Spain
tomorrow.
Feeble attack by insurgents on IN
habitants southeast portion Of Negroes
necessitated sending battalion troops
from Manila there. Will soon restore
order. Insurgent falsehoods circulate
ed in southern islands Of overwhelming
insurgent victories in Luzon, keep up
excitement in that section among the
more ignorant classes, although intel
ligent people know American arms
have never met reverses, and they call
for United States protection. Have
turned over to navy for use on coast
of southern islands number of pur-
chased Spanish gunboats, from which
excellent results are expected"

LUKE Oils INJURED.
Suffers a Bad Fall in the Vernon Club
Trials.


Trials.
A strong head wind yesterday made
bicycle riding more or less of task,
which was regretted by the devotees of
the sport after they combatted with
the wind for a few miles.
All the clubs of the city with the ex-
ception of the Worcesters and the
Stearns clubs went out of town yester-
day.
The Vernon Bicycle club held their
trials for the ten-mile road race in the
gale of wind and disaster that followed
in its wake. Several spills resulted,
and one came near being the finale of
Luke Oils riding career, he being
thrown and two riders tearing over his
PROSTATE body. He was picked up for
dead, but was found to be conscious.
He suffered great pain, and was unable
to finish out the race. His wheel was
twisted all out of shape. Luke COM
planned of great pain about the right
shoulder, but was able to ride home.
AS soon as he reached the city, he
went at once to DR.. Delehanty's office
on Trumbul square, where he was as
sured that, outside of a strained shout
der, he was uninjured save a severe
shaking up.
The trials were run off at the lake
in the forenoon. The racing board of
the Vernons had charge of the affair.
The trials were contested by Edward
]. Cross, Frank Benoit, Emil Leclair,
George Eberhardt, Luke Oils and Jo-
seph Felix, with four riders to qualify.

SAYS: THE discussion of the pro-

the conference upheld. As yet the Rus
slams have not abandoned their posi-

Ohio Republicans Approve of the Presi-
dent But Don't Like Hanna.

Cincinnati, O., May 2S.-The unusual
interest in the republican state conven-
ton at Columbus this week is due to
its indirect effect on President McKin-
ley next year, as well as to its direct
effects on state factions and contend
ing candidates this year. In the earlier
sl1irmishing there was talk of the posi-
bility of a state administration that
would use its power to secure an anti
Mckinley delegation from Ohio to the
republican national convention next
year.
Since all but four of the So counties
have selected delegates, it is found
that about the only thing the delegates
are unanimous upon is the endorse
ment of the national administration.
All the candidates for other places on
the state ticket, as well as those for
governor, have had strong resolutions
adopted in their counties for their
delegates to endorse the national adj
ministration. Even the Kurtz Bushnell
Mc<isson element announce that they
are not against Mckinley, but that
they are against Hanna, and any can
didate favored by Hanna.
