CANNOT CARRY THEIR ARMS.
Gen. Otis Authority for withhold.
ing the Arms of the Return-
Eng Spanish Soldiers.

Washington, March 1.-THE atten-
ton of the officials at the war depart
ment having been called TO the report
from Manila that Gen. Otis had re-
fused to allow the retiring troops to
carry arms to the Carolines, it was
learned that his refusal was in strict
pursuance of the terms of the protocol,
which govern in the absence of the rat
ification of the peace treaty. Under
the technical suspension Of hostilities.
it could not be permitted that Spain
should change the statu quo to the ex-
tent of terrifying and strongly garri-
soning points heretofore unprotected
Is was TO be the case in the Carolines.
1t is gathered that Gen. Otis refusal
probably applied rather to the remova
of cannon than to the small arms of
the troops, although he also may have
included the latter.
When Col. Rios, the senior Spanish
army officer in the Philippines, evacu-
uated Iloilo he carried h Spanish gar
riSon of the town directly to the port
of Zamboanga. on the south coast OF
the island of Nindanao. taking with
him as much of the cannon and MUM
lions of the place as his ships would
carry. and it is believed these are the
stores and guns that Rios desires TO.
take to the CarolineS.
The officials here are Il little puzzled
To account for this desire on the part
of Spain to garrison and fortify The
CarolineS. for it has been assumed that
the negotiations between Spain and
Germany looking toward Il sale of the
group TO Germany would be CONSUME
mated. II is suggested with some
plauSibility that Germany has required
Spain in case of a sale to urn over the
group in such condition IS will not re-
quire an effort on Germdny'S part To
suppress an Instruction such as the
United States authorities faced in the
Philippines.

ASKED SHERIFF FOR AID.
The Wheeling Street Railway Wants
Protection-More Non-Union Men
Brought In.

WHEELING, April 10.-Although the
Wheeling Railway company made no
effort to operate its road Sunday did not
pass without deeds of violence. Last
night the large barns just below the
city line, in Marshall county, were at
tackled by a small mob of boys and
young men, who fired brickbats, stones
and other missiles through the windows
and erected barricade in front of the
door out of which the cars leave the
barn. The BenwOod police were called
upon for protection, but the response
was not satisfactory to the company,
whereupon Secretary Shirley called
upon the sheriff of Marshall county for
protection. This official left at once for
the scene of hostilities. He detailed
several deputies for duty at the barns.
Long before this, however, the crowd
had dispersed.
The company has secured 20 other
non-union men from Chicago who ar.
rived at Bellaire. Over half of the
men brought here Saturday have de.
serted and left for their homes, some
walking and others jumping freights.
The Ohio Valley Trades and Labor as.
sembly, in sessin Sunday, endorsed the
strike. Neither side has sought con-
ference so far and it looks like bitter
fight,
