FILIPINO GENERALS Quarrel
GEMS. LUNA AND MASCARD0
Had Their Forces Drawn up-Forgot the
Americans-Gen. Luna Was Severely
wounded at San TOmas-They Might
Have Civil War Themselves.

Manila, May 9.-Only the entreaties of
Aguinaldo averted, last Tuesday, a civil
war between the forces of his generals,
Luna and Mascardo. They were actually
drawn up in battle array.
This, and positive confirmation OF tie
news that Luna had 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 LagGna de Bay and Cdvadonga,
which returned today frob a brisk expe-
dition up the San Fernando river.
1t was Immediately beiore the battle Of
San Tomas that the insurgents so nearly
arrived at the point of beginning to eX-
terminate one another. General Luna,
when he saw that an engagement with the
American troops was inevitable, sent back
an aide post haste to Bacolor, where Cen
eral Mascardo was, demanding reinforce
ments. Mascardo's reply was that he
would take orders from no one but Agui-
naldo.
Infatuated Luna.
This defiance so Infatuated Luna that,
in spite of the impending conflict with
the common enemy, he took 1900 of his
soldiers and made forced march to Ba-
color, intent on chastising his comrade
in arms.
Mascardo was ready to fight it out and
ordered his command in line for 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 confusion
ordered his chieI of staff, Colonel Argue
las, to make peace at all hazards. The
soldiers were waiting for orders to begin
when Arguelas galloped along the lines
and waved flag of truce.
There was an angry conference be
tween him and the rival generals. Agui
naldo was drawn into it. With all the
intensity at his command, he begged Luna
and Mascardo not to plunge the Filipino
forces into civil strife at a time wher
they were already broken up and demon
allied by successive defeats at the hands
of the Americans.
His entreaties prevailed for the time be
ing. Luna soon returned to the from
after the commanding general had prom
ised him reinforcements and ordered Mas
cardo to be court martialed for not havin!
sent them at first.

Scouting Party Attacked.

A accommodating party from Lawton's
command, consisting of two companies
of the Minnesota regiment and two COM
panies of the Oregon regiment, under
command of Major Diggles of the Min
nesota regiment, advanced yesterday to
point near San Miguel, II miles north
of Balinag.
The Americans were met with a volley
from a force of rebels behind a trench.
Major Diggles was wounded in the head
and with a private and 10 typhoid pa
tients was brought by special train to
Manila today.
The Don Jose, the last of the missing
steamers under the American flag which
were detained by the insurgents since
the beginning of the war, and which was
found by the gunboat Manila at Bantam
gas, arrived here today.

Unprecedented Rains Cause

the Capital.
PARANAQUE BRIDGE SWEPT AWAY

MANILA July 22.-The unprecedented
rains of the last week have convinced
observers here that military operations
on large scale or advances covering
many miles will be impossible for a
long time. Many miles of the country
are flooded to depth of three or four
feet. The Paranaque bridge, which was
considered impregnable, has been swept
away, cutting off temporarily the gar
risons of linus and Bacoor from com
munication with Manila. In the cir
cumstances it will be impossible to
move wagon trains as the trails have
become doubtful. Pack mules will be
utilized if it should become possible for
soldiers to make marches. The officials
will have their hands full for some time
in arranging for the departure of vol
unteers and in settling the regulars
who are replacing them.

Conspiracy to Murder Prom
inent Citizen the Latest
OffenSe Charged.
THE WORK QUICKLY DONE
Sheriff OverpoWered and the
Men Disposed of With
out Ceremony.
Grand Jury Promptly Investi-
gates the Affair With the
Usual Result.

NEW ORLEANS, July %. Five Sicil-
ians were hanged by mob at Tallula,
town of several hundred inhabitants,
in Madison parish, II miles from the
river. The dead are: Joe Defatta,
Charles Defatta, Frank Defatta, Sy De-
ferroch and Joe Cereno.
The five victims We're strung up to
trees for supposed connection with a
plot to murder DIR. Hodges, prominent
physician of the place, who was shot
and fatally wounded by one of the
Sicilians.
In addition to this several acts of
lawlessness that have occurred in the
neighborhood recently We're attributed
to the gang. Several of the men are
believed to have families in Europe.
Quiet was restored Immediately after
the lynching and the grand jury began
an investigation of the affair, but be-
cause Of the feeling against the men it
is doubtful if action is taken against
any member of the mob. After the
Shooting of DIR. Hedges

and after battering down the doors sue

finding Joe there the crowd began
search of the premises, going thence to
the large dwelling immediately behind
the shop, which was owned by the De-
fattas. There they found Joe hidden

taken out and the sheriff started for the
Jail with Charles and Joe. When he
got to the courthouse square a crowd of
about $50 citizens overpowered the
sheriff and after severe struggle, took
Joe and Charles Defatta down in the
field to the slaughter pen and hung
them to the gallows used for slaughter
ing beeves.
Joe denied the shooting and accused
Charles. Charles in turn accused his
brother, but said Frank Defatta and sly
Deferroch were innocent of the trouble.
The
Crowd AID jouSned to the Jail,
overpowered the jailer and deputies,
and, taking the keys, went in and
brought ont sly Deferroch, Frank De-
fatta and Joe Cereno and hung them to
an oak tree in the Jail yard.
Not shot was fired and the crowd
was orderly and quiet, but very deter
mined. A good many citizens pleaded
for the lives Of the Sicilians, but with
out avail, as the people were much
wrought up, the gang being charged
with number of outrages which have
recently arousedsthe neighborhood.
The grand jury has reported as fol-
lows: 1T is evident from the facts
brought to our knowledge that the men
who were lynched had formed a con-
spiracy to assassinate DR.. Hodge, and
the mob, learning the facts, took the
law into their own hands. After dill
gent inquiry we have not been able to
learn the names or identity of any of
the men forming it.

Mr., Havemeyer said, the mother of
trusts is the tariff, and some writer
commenting upon it, says he is wrong,
that the mother of trusts is mans
greed Perhaps he is somewhat nearer
the truth than Havemeyer was, we
think he was, but both are wrong.
The mother of trusts is our modern
civilization. The abuser of the prin-
ciple is mans greed, who sees in it an
increased power for gathering in

No Change in the Situation
on Brooklyn and New
York Lines.

CLEVELAND, July 22.-The street rail
way strike is assuming more threaten
ing aspect.
At o'clock Mayor Farley ordered
the naval reserves to prepare for strike
duty This organization, 1O4 strong,
armed with Lee rifles and Gatling and
Gardner machine guns, assembled at
their armory on Sibley street and are
awaiting the further orders of the
mayor.
During the evening there was rioting
on Wilson avenue and on Pearl street.
A mob of 5000 collected on Wilson
avenue between Payne avenue and SUI
perior street and threw stones at every
car that came along. A squad of 90
policemen tried to keep order and only
partly succeeded, the disorder continu-
ing until the cars stopped running.
They were compelled to charge the mob
repeatedly, using their heavy riot clubs,
and many broken heads are the result.
One arrest was made.
Use Dynamite on a Barn.
A dynamite bomb was thrown upon
the roof of the street railway company's
barn at Lakeview at a. m. A
jagged hole two feet square was torn i'll
the roof. A Wade Park avenue car
which stood directly beneath the hole
was also wrecked, the roof of the car
being torn off by the explosive.
The widest excitement prevailed
among the men in the barn. The ex-
plosion was heard for blocks and hun
dreds of people were attracted to the
scene. No one was injured. The
identity of the perpetrators of the out
rage is not known. However, the po-
lice are hard at work on the case.
Many of the windows in the big barn
were shattered by the explosion. The
shock was such as to cause the ground
to tremble and it seemed for few mo-
ments as though the barn itself would
fall. The police suspect two men who
were seen about the building and acting
in suspicious manner. In the excite
meht attendant upon the explosion they
were, however, successful in getting
away.

Charge OF Criminal Libel Against the
Street Car Magnate.
NEW YORK, July 22.-In the bor-
oughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn the
strike situation, generally speaking. re-
manned unchanged. On Manhattan
Island cars on all the lines of the Met
ropolitan system were run on prac-
tically the usual Roadway and at night
the cars on Second, Sixth and Eighth
avenues were under police protection
although the claim is made by the COM
pany that there is no longer necessity
even for this. Policemen still guard
the depots of the several lines.
The events of greatest interest during
the day were the arrest of President
Rossiter of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company on warrant issued by Magis-
trate Bremen,
Charging Him With Criminal Libel,
Albert L. johnson, former president of
the Nassau railway, being the COM
plainant, and the notification of the diff
ferent district attorneys within the linn
its of Greater New York that the 10.
hour law was enforcible and asking
them to communicate with Secretary
John P. Donnelly of the building trades
section of the Central Labor union, and
submit particulars to a grand jury or
magistrate.
The arrest Of President Rossiter, al
though interesting, will not, it is
thought, have any marked effect on the
strike. Ex-President johnson objects
to statements made by President Ros-
sitter to Brooklyn reporters in a recent
