I1AE oHAFF BEFORE THE WIND
Did the Filipinos About Malolos Flee
From the Americans.

Manila April 12.-General Wheaton
started at daylight with the Tenth
Pennsylvania and Second Oregon reti-
ments and two guns to drive the rebels
from the American right flank between
the railroad ard foothills. He met with
slight resistance near Sante Maria and
had one man wounded, but the enemy
bolted when shelled by the artillery
and abandoned the town of Santa
Maria where a thousand rebels were
reported to be concentrated. During
the rest of the day the enemy was in
full retreat towards the mountains
burning villages behind the retreating
forces. Occasionally a few of the
rebels dropped to the rear and fired az
the advancing American troops from
jungle apparently with the idea that
this would check our advance and
cover the retreat of the Filipinos, bar
finding these tactics ineffectual, they
scrambled after the main body.
The American guard along the rail-
road has been materially strengthened
and it is not likely the rebels Will sue

close quarters as they did yesterday,

Where Soldiers Must Swim.

In the Dutch army man must be
able to swim as well as to fight. More
over, if he is in the cavalry he must
have horse which will take river as
easily as a hunter takes fence
Swimming maneuvers are part Of the
regular drill there. Collapsible canvas
boats, manned by few oarsmen, lead
the horses, SO that they do not attempt
to land on stone quays and other diff
cult points. The men swim across with
their horses and on them. They do it in
swimming costume and in all the ac-
couter1nents of war.
There are few nautical emergencies
for which the Dutch army is not pre-
pared Some Of the officers have even
reached degree Of proficiency that not
only their horses and kit cross the river
with them, but their pet dogs sit upon
their shoulders and are borne over al
most without getting wet.-Stray

The sultan Of Turkey is most in

about him abroad. Every day transla-

all closely perused. His majesty, by the
way, is bad hand at suffering.

aching tooth removed and dared not.
Eight slaves had molars drawn out in
his presence that he might have an op-

fering entailed, and finally the sultan
decided that he would rather bear the
pain than undergo such an ordeal.

WASHINGTON, July IA new treaty

time new treaties between Japan and
nearly all of the countries of Europe
and some Of the South American repub-

event of far-reaching Importance in the
relations between Japan and the United
States, as it does away with the treaty
methods which have been in vogue for
nearly so years and substitutes all en-
tirely new method of procedure. The
same is true in the relations Of Japan
with other countries.
Taken as whole the new treaties
place Japan on an entirely new footing
with the world at large, as she is recog-
nized for the first time as an equal in
every respect. The treaty with this
country was made Nov. %, 1894, in
Washington between Secretary Gres-
ham and Minister Kureno, who then
represented Japan here. The changes
it made were so far reaching that it
was determined that the treaty should
not go into operation until July II,

Big Consolidated Employees ut Cleveland
Again on Strike.
CLEVELAND, July 18.-The Inaugural
ton of a second strike by the employees
of the Big Consolidated Railroad com.
pany was a complete surprise to the
public and nearly so to the company.
Ever since tho men returned to work
three weeks ago under an agreement
prepared by a committee Of the city
council and signed by representatives
of the strikers and of the company
there had been frequent complaints on
the part of the men that the company
was not living up to the agreement
Several conferences were held, the lat
est about u week ago, and it was then
announced that everything was salts
factory or would be as soon as the com
pany had been given ample time to adj
just its schedules and arrange the runs
The presence on cars of the non-union
men who were retained after the settle
ment of the strike was still a bone OF
contention, however, and a
Crisis Was Reached Sunday,
when, as is claimed, number of union
men were discharged for refusing to &C
out on cars with non-union men. A
meeting followed and the decision tc
strike was reached. All the lines were
tied up from until after a. H., when
the operation of the Euclid avenue line
with non-union men under police pre-
lection was undertaken. Cars were
run at 5-minute intervals on that line
until evening, but no attempt was made
to move cars on other lines. Henry A
Everett, president of the company, has
issued statement in which he says the
terms of the agreement with the strik.
ers had been strictly adhered to, but
that it was impossible to inaugurate all
the reforms promised, because of the
continued interference with the non
union crews and he holds the union
men directly responsible for this.
