SHELlED THE TOWN.
A Washington Captain Placed Under
Arrest for Being Slow


Manila. Aug. 2, via Hong Kong Aug
S.-The gunboat Napidan last week
shelled Paete, on the lake near Santa
Cruz. The town was full of people,
who had been encouraged to return af-
ter General Lawton's expedition, hav-
ing been assured that they would not
be molested if they peaceably attended
to their business. Lieutenant Copp,
who was in command of the Napidan,
heard that the insurgents had reoccu-
pied the town, and, steaming close in,
opened fire with his siX-pounders with
out warning. The people, seeing the
boat approaching, fed to the hills in a
terrified condition and with barely time
to escape. One child was killed and
many buildings We're damaged. The
authorities express great regret on ac-
count of the incident
After the taking of Calamba by the
Americans. General Lawton ordered
that Captain Otis of the Washington
regiment be relieved of his command
and placed under arrest on account of
slowness and the seeming reluctance
of the companies under his command
in obeying the order to disembark from
the cascoes and wade through the
marshes under fire. The men say that
a majority of them have been sick and
unfit for duty, and We're given to un-
derstand that they would not be asked
to do any more fighting.

bulletin issued this morning at the
headquarters of Typographical union
No 6, the strike of the printers, press

stereotypers had returned to work this

their respective homes at the expense
of the union.
President Delaney of the Big Six this
afternoon said that not any of the
strikers had returned to work. in any
of the departments of the Sun.
The first friction between the Sun
and the Typographical union was due
to the Introduction of certain typeset-
ting machines by the Evening Sun.
These cannot be operated by a single
man. and the Sun attempted to put a
man and a boy on each machine. which
was in violation Of union rules as to
apprentices, and the union refused TO
tolerate it. Thereupon the Sun served
notice upon it's employees that the union
chapel would no longer be recognized.
and began engaging non-union printers
in Philadelphia.

ITALIAN VERSION Of IT
Marquis Romano's Investigations
Into the Lynchings.
BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS
According to Romano's Report the Crime
Committed by the Mob Was One Of
Atrocity and Without Miti-
eating Circumstances.

w aSliill6 tpIl, aus. lie state Ue-
partment has received from the Italian
authorities a copy of the complete re-
port made by Marquis Romano, secre-
tary of the Italian embassy here, on his
personal investigation of the recent
lynching of five Italians at Talulah,
La. The report presents the affair in
a serious light. AS a whole. the Italian
authorities view the matter of the
lynching as one of unusual atrocity
and without the mitigating circum-
stances which had been urged in pre-
vious affairs of this kind.
In describing the first affray which
led up to the lynching, Marquis Ro-
mano's report states that DR.. Hodges
was the first to draw his weapon, and
that not until he had fired one shot
and was about to fire the second one
at Charles Difatta, who was at that
time PROSTATE on the ground, did the
brother, Joe Difatta fire his shotgun
from the store near by. This last shot,
it is pointed out, was in defense of the
fallen brother and was not a wanton
attack upon DR.. Hodges
The circumstances leauing up to the
affair are described in detail. Accord
ine to tbis aoooun+ ,,,or,,,, NEE.
