SHELLS FOR SILLY REBELS
They Fired at a Cruiser, But Dewey
Punished Them With Fatal Effect.
MANY WERE KILLED IN A CHURCH
Ignorant Rebels Try to Make
Use of Empty Shells.
WAS QUIET AT MANILA MONDAY NIGHT

Manila, Feb. %, 10. 10 a. m.--The
rebels at Malabon fired at the cruiser
Callao from the jungle, yesterday,
while Admiral Dewey was visiting the
Monadnocl. Three shells were dropped
by the Monadnock into the Malabon
church, demolishing the structure and
killing number of rebels who were
inside.
A factory ut Malolos was reported to
be running day and night to supply
ammunition for the insurgents. The
ignorance OF the natives is shown by
the fact that they have collected empty
Springfield shells and are refllling
them. Over 1900 of these cartridges
have been discovered in houses in Pan
dacan by an officer of the Washington
volunteers.
The cruiser Charleston and the gun
boat Concord have gone on a three
days cruise, presumably booking for
filibusters. 1t is expected that arms
are being landed in small quantities at
northern ports. \
Everything was absolutely quiet last
night, both inside and outside the city.
The commissioners appointed by
President Mckinley to study the con.
dition in the islands are expected to
arrive here Saturday.

ACTED IN AN ECCENTRIC MANNER.
The Surprising Escapades of Mr.. Eugene
Peters, While suffering From Nervous
Exhaustion,

The Surprising Escapadss of MIR. Eugene
Peters, While suffering From Nervous
Exhaustion.
Washington, Feb. 90. Eugene Peters,
of the firm of photographers doing bust
ness in this city and in Wilmington,
DEL, has returned to Washington. In
company with Fred Darlington of Will
ming gton, he is stopping at q local hotel
with his wife. He is kept rather quiet,
and granting no interviews to the re-
porters of the local papers.
On account of his health MIR. Peters
recently took trip to Hot Springs,
Ark, and while there his eccentric
actions caused some alarm to his
friends in this city and elsewhere. To
cap the climax his marriage was an
nounced, which proved to be big
surprise. From Hot Springs Mr.. Peters
went to New Orleans to attend the
Mardi Gras festivities, and while there
spent money with such lavish hand
that upon consultation with counsel
| the local banks refused to honor his
drafts. William Il. Seitz, the first
mate of Mr.. Peters, handsome yacht,
upon authority from one of the mem
bers of the firm went to New Orleans
and succeeded in persuading the bene-
| dict to return to Washington. His
wife accompanied him.
The couple are now occupying a
| handsome suite of rooms, and nothing
| is given out relative to the future
action of the pair. Mr.. Peters is said
| TO be suffering with nervous ex-
haustion, though he seems to bequita
| q healthy man.

MANY MINERS TO STOP WORK
Likely to be Serious to BALL
roads and Coal Consumers.
CONVENTIONS OF THE STRIKERS
Their Claims Are the Result of
Legislation.
Railroad omciaI Attributes the Trouble to
an Official of the United Mine Workers
Tie Operators, 1t is Said, viii Make No
Concessions.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 28.--The
controversy between the coal miners
and operators not having been settled,
it seems inevitable that there will be a
mammoth walkout at the mines in
Western Arkansas and in the Indian
Territory today. The number of men
who will walk out is yariously esti-
mated at from 10, 600 to 12, 600, and the
consequent tie-up is likely to be serious
for the railroads and other coal con-
sumers.
1t is claimed in defence OF the miners
that some of the clauses in the ulti-
matum which they presented to the
operators are the subjects of proposed
legislation at the present session of the
Arkansas Legislature. This is notably
the case, the miners say, in regard to
their demands that all coal shall be
weighed before being screened and
that 1900 pounds shall constitute a
ton. bill has already passed the
House compelling the companies to pay
the miners semi monthly.
General Manager Henry Wood of the
Choctaw railway, who is in Little
Rock, attributes the present labor
troubles to James Boston, an official
of the United Mine Workers of
America, who, he claims was sent to
the coal district to organize the men
and make demands of the operators for
scale of prices.
Mr.. Wood says that experience
demonstrates that coal mining cannot
properly be conducted on fine run
basis. He claims that the Choctaw,
Oklahoma & Gulf railroad has ex-
pended $50, 600 at least, the past year,
on their mines more than they have
received. The operators, he asserts,
will make no concessions.

that he had como from Ontario. Can. y
where he had purchased Il ticket for
Elkton. After getting on the train in
Canada. tho conductor refused to honor
the ticket, stating that it was not
good He then paid his fare as far as
this city, and, with the assistance of
other travellers, was able to purchase
snant supply of food.
The train on which he came to this
city was the Delaware railroad express
for which reason he was compelled TO
wait hero for q Maryland division
train. Ii he had come on q through
train tho railroad officials would have
had him taken to his destination on
the Wilmington ticket. This was the
reason he was placed in the care of
Off1cer Gofdy. Inc oHlcer Iounu MIN
seat in the station, and Charles Kit
finger, hearing of his condition, gave
the officer 81 and requested that n
tickct bo bought for the man and that
tho remainder, 45 cents, be given
Henderson with which to buy food.
The unfortunate man was placed on the
6 o'clock train by Officer Marr and
taken to Elkton, where he expected to
meet members of the X. of p, who
| would look after him and see that he
was taken to the residence of his son.

the Fire.
Last Saturday evening q large oil
lamp, suspended from tho ceiling of
the school room at the Ferris Indus
trial School, fell and exploded, throw
ing burning oil over the floor. Seventy
four boys in charge Of Instructor Rey
nolds were in the room at the time,
and some of the smaller ones We're so
badly frightened that there was danger
of q panic, but this was averted by the
coolheadedness of the larger boys who
went to work to extinguish the fire.
Coats were used in attempts to
smother the flames, and finally the
lamp and the burning coats were
thrown out of the room. Two OF the
boys secured fire extinguisher and did
good work with it, and tho fire was put
out with small loss Superintendent

Awarding tho High School Contract
/ Approved.
The Board of Education was in ses-
sion very few minutes Monday night.
Chairman Turner of the committee
on new buildings reported the award
ing of the contract for the proposed
new high school building to the A. S.
Reed 6 Bro. Co., at S141, 600. The
action of the committee was unani-
mously approved and the committee
was given authority to have gas pipes
and electric light wires placed in the
building and arrange for local tele-
phone service from the principals room
to other parts of the building. Archi-
tect Pierce was allowed $1,000 on
account Chairman Turner also re-
ported that the contractors had begun
to clear away the grounds, preparatory
to beginning excavating for the founda
tion. Mr.. Turner said all of the trees
were old and as none were worth saving
they were ordered cut down. Some new
ones may be planted il it is deemed
advisable. Tho matter of providing
heating and ventilating arrangements
for the building was referred to the
committee for investigation.
The committee on teachers made the
following recommendations: That the
application of Mrs. L. G. Vandegrift,
president of the Delaware kindergarten
Association, for the use of vacant
room for kindergarten in School No.
be granted; that Susan Weir Of
School No. 24 and Susan E. Cook OF
School No. A be permitted to change
Places with each other, and that Emma
Groves be appointed to the lowest po-
sition in School No. 3. All of the
recommendations We're fayorably acted
upon by the board.
1t was decided to place u swinging
blackboard in No. IA School.
The proper officers were authorized
to draw on City Council for the
monthly augmentation.
