FILIPINO CLAIMS.
They Are Diseredited by the War
Department at Washington

Department at Washington.
LONDON, April ia.-The Filipino Eu-
ropean junta claims to have received
q cabIegram from Gen. Luna, "com-
manding the Manila district" direct from
Manila, on Friday, declaring that Gen.
Lawton, whose object was TO proceed
to Baler and effect junction with the
Yorktown" was inveigled by the Fill
pino tactics into ''perilously extending his
line, with the result that column, con-
sitting of 140 officers and men, on reach
ing place called Binangonam, was am
bushed by large Filipino force, COM
severed and the entire column was cap
tuFed.''
siThe Filipino advices further asert that
Gen Lawton, who was at Laguna de
Bay, on hearing the news retired to
Manila, stating that he had been re-
called by Maj. Gen. Otis on the ground
that a native rising in Manila was immf-
nent.'
The foregoing is said to be a separate
affair from the disappearance of the
boats crew of the Yorktown In the VI
cinity of Baler
The Filipinos also claim that they
have Occupied the town of Zamboanga,
in the southern part of the island of
Minandano, which was recently evacu-
ated by the Spaniards, only few of the
latter remaining to hand over the place
to the Americans. The Filipinos are
also said to have captured 1000 Mauser
rifles, all the ammunition and several
Spanish gunboats, which the rebels say
they have navigated up the Rio Grande.
and out of reach of the Americans.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-The war
department does not credit the Filipino
assertions contained in the dispatch be-
cause 1t Is believed Gen. Otis would have
cabled any such disaster. 1t is further
stated that Gen. Lawton could not pos
sibly have had in mind a junction with
the Yorktown, as there IS an impossible
range of mountains between the points
he traversed and the sea where the York
town was cruising.

PHILADELPHIA, April ia sensa-
tional arrest was made in this city to-
night. In connection with the counter
feiting gang. Harvey X. hewitt, who was
assistant United States district attorney
In this city during the administration of
President Harrison, was taken into Gus
tody by secret service men, on a warrant
sworn out by Chief Wilkie on a charge
OF bribing Detective McManus, of the
Philadelphia office. He was given a pre-
nminary hearing before Commissioner
Edmunds, and held In $4,000 ball. which
was furnished by wealthy friends It was
SHOWN that on the hearing of March 6

was turned over to Mr.. Wilkie as it was
received
1t is stated here tonight that enough
counterfeit stamps were captured by the
detectives In Lancaster to cover 44O, ,OO0.-
O0o cigars. AS near as can be learned
about $4,000 worth Of bogus stamps have
been used on cigars thus far sent out
from Lancaster. Much of the money
realized has been spent on experimental
work IN manufacturing scatter fiber pa
pei" such as it used by the government.

CABINET DECISION.
Volunteers to BE Returned From
Philippines as Rapidly as Possible.

Volunteers to he Returned From
Philippines as Rapidly as Possible.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-A confer
ence held at the White House today be-
tween the president, Secretary Alger,
Secretary Long and Adjt. Gen. COrbin
resulted in the confirmation of the orig
inal decision Of the administration 10
at present refrain from availing itself
of the authorization conferred by con-
gress 70 organize volunteer army of
,0e0 soldiers, in addition to the present
regular army.
Gen. Otis latest cablegram, descriptive
of the conditions in the Philippines, was
carefully considered, and 1t was con-
cluded to accept his estimate of the mill
tary needs Of the case, so that he has
already Indicated that his present army
is sufficient for the purposes he has in
view, the decision Is tantamount to re-
solve to avoid recourse to the additional
volunteers.
A cablegram was sent to Gen. Otis,
however, called forth by the necessity for
Withdrawing the state volunteers from
the Philippines, again asking him
whether he would need more men after
he has received the reinforcemnts now
on the way to Manila, or undr orders
to embark as soon as transportation can
be secured. Gen. Otis now has a force
believed to aggregate about $4,000 effective
men. Secretary Alger informed him that
the troops now on the way to be or
dered there would give him an army of
about 10000 men, as allowing for the re-
turn of the state volunteers. This is
believed at the war department to meet
all the needs of the summer season. 1t
Is intended to withdraw one regiment
from Porto Rico and to send thre regi-
ments now In this country to the Phil
ippines, as soon as they can be equipped
l..
for two or three months. 1t is also
stated that the conditions in Cuba are
such that 1t is quite probable some troops
can be withdrawn from that island for
service in the Philippines
The matter of returning the volunteers
was also discussed. The department Is

RIOT AT sCIENFUEGos.
At Cienfuegos the police arrested an
American soldier. His companions at
tempted to rescue him, which brought
more police and soldiers to the scene,
and provoked a general fight Several
shots wer fired, but only one person was
hurt. This was Chinese, who Us
crossing the stree at the time, and re-
ceived a Krag-Jorgenson bullet in his
leg. The soldiers, who had been ar
rested, and another, who fired, escaped
and ran into the barracks. The police
endeavored to follow, but the sentinel re-
fused them admittance, thus provoking
bitter feeling. 1t is probable that there
will be further difficulty.
p. G. Rathbone, director general of
posts in Cuba, returned to Havana to-
day from a tour Of inspection along the
coast. He reports having visited all the
postoMces, and being we'll satisfied with
the work of the Cuban employees, whom
he describes as anxious to learn the
American system.

I'm a Most Memorable Political

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 19-The
great battle for United States senator
ended today, without an election, and
unless Gov. Stone calls an extra session
at which there shall be an election

After the taking of the ballot in Joint

the friends of ex-senator Quay standing
by him, and the anti-Quay Republicans
by B. F. Jones, of Pittsburg, while the
Democrats cast their vote for George A.
jerks, who has been their candidate
since the deadlock began.
The senatorial contest began ON Tan
II. On that day Senator Quay received
his highest vote, 112 senators and rep
resentatives casting their ballot for him.
This was thirteen less than the number
necessary to a choice, and he never came
nearer an election during the more than
three months Of the struggle No such
bitter political contest was probably ever
before waged In this country The fight
has been distinctly on Quay and anti
Quay lines, and both sides had numerous
representatives here at all times, keep
Ing close watch on the opposition and
on each other.
1t is expected the contest for suprem-
acy will be carried into every county in
the state and waged incessantIy until
final supremacy is assured. The next
fight will be on the chairmanship of the
state committee. After that will come
the battle for the control of the state
convention, which will nominate can
didate for state treasurer.
ALMOST A RIOT.
The Nyco resolution, calling upon the
attorney general to prosecute all those
including ex-senator Quay, who had
been charged with receiving interest on
state money, almost precipitated riot
in the senate today. 1t was a bitter fight
between the two factions, and finally the
resolution was laid on the table by a.
vote of 83 to 6. The first speaker was
Senator Grady (Quay). He had scarcely

tee on military affairs, arrived home to-
day. He expressed the opinion that, in
view Of present conditions in the Philip

more troops.
The army bill authorizes the president
to call for $4,000 more troops, Unnecessary,
to serve two years. They would COM

make place for 1,500 more commissions.
The president and secretary of war are
anxious to avoid enlisting men under this

pensive, and they would be in for only
two years, SO that the expense Of enlist

most as soon as they were qualified for
good service. But it looks now as IL a
call would have to be made.'

WASHINGTON; April 19-(Special.) y
That there is a growing feeling of un-
rest in Government circles over the sit
uation In the Philippines is admitted by
those who are on the inside, and know
what is going on at the war and navy
departments. Cablegrams received of
late from Gen. Otis and Admiral Dewey
have by no means lessened this feeling,
and the latest announcement, in the
shape of a report Of the mysterious dis
appearance Of men belonging to the
warship Yorktown. Is the saddest blow of
all. So deeply interested was the presi-
dent in the affairs that he had the navy
department officials cable Admiral Dewey
for something more explicit. The cor
rected telegram, while more Ineligible,
was far from satisfying, merely corrob-
Grating what was already known-that
certain members Of the Yorktowns crew
were in the hands of the insurgents, and
that no details of their fate was OBJ
tainable.
The Philippine situation was the sole
topic at the cabinet meeting today The
president is undecided as to what policy
to pursue, and has asked, through the
war department, that Gen. Otis make
definite statement Of his needs in the
way of reinforcements. Nothing will be
done until Gen. Otis is heard from. Then
1t Is possible that there will be call for
troops. The government realizes that
the volunteers must be brought home.
That will necessitate the sending of new
troops to Manila unless Gen. Otis says
