Pleads Not Guilty to the Charge of
Having Made IL Fool of
Himself.

DENVER, May 9.-Governor Thomas, who
has been out of the city several days, wired
Adjutant General Corbin upon his return
late last night as follows:
Reported interview of mine in Denver
News concerning Colorado volunteers is false
and malicious
The governor says he told the interviewer
he had twice requested the return of the
Colorado regiment and would renew the
request, and that, as the Spanish war had
terminated, the volunteers should be per-
mitted to return if they .,shed. BEYOND
this says the governor. nothing was said
except an expression of general nature
concerning the power of the government to
call upon the militia for service in an Often
sive war"
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Adjutant General
Corbin has received the message from Cen
eral Thomas of Colorado, mentioned in the
Denver dispatch. The governor character
ICES the interview as false and malicious ana
says he would have denied it before had he
not supposed the statements were too silly
to receive credence.
The text of Governor Thomas telegram
and that of the reply thereto sent by Sec
retary Alger, are as follows:
DENVER. Colo, May S-Corbin, Adju-
tant General Washington: Reported inter-
view of mine in Denver News Sunday morn
ing concerning Colorado volunteers, Ma
nila false and malicious. Would have de-
MED earlier, but supposed it too silly to

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Hon. Charles S.
Thomas, Governor, Denver, Colo: Your tele-
gram to the adjutant general has been
handed me and / desire to thank you for it.
1t does credit to you ana your state. In
the meantime We shall spare no efforts to

HAVANA, May General Maxine Co.
mez is trying to persuade Governor General
Brooks that a Cuban standing army of 10 900
men is a necessary adjunct to the proper
government of the island. His views he has
presented in writing, but without eiciting
as yet any reply. The proposition is not
likely to receive much consideration at
headquarters, where considerable surprise
was occasioned by this magnificent project,
which, If adopted, Gomez doubtless believes,
would be placed under his personal control.
The growing conviction that there is no
need of rural guards except in the wilder
portions of tho provinces Of Santiago and
Puerto Principe is confirmed by the inves-
legations of Captain Hickey of the governor
generals staff who returned yesterday from
a 2,000-mile trip through the provinces east
of Havana, which occupied two months.
Captain Hickey, in carefully written reports
to General Brooke, asserts that with the
exception of a few in Santiago province he
found no traces of bandits
political feeling in the country districts, -
he declares, is far less intense than in
Havana, where the malcontents are gath
| ered Most of the Cubans of the provinces
favor ultimate independence, but they are
willing to have the American occupation
continue for a year at least, as they recog-
nize that the island revenues are expended
| honestly upon betterments."

FILIPINOS TO BE BARRED OUT
Islanders Imported Under Contract to
Dime Museum VIII Probably
Be Sent Home.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 9.-United States
immigration Commissioner North has re-
fused to permit the landing OF ten native
Filiplnos who arrived here a few days ago
on the steamer City OF Pekin. The natives
are under contract to exhibit in a New York
City dime museum. Commissioner North
takes the position, therefore, that because
OF their agreement TO place themselves on
exhibition they are contract laborers, and
as such are not entitled to land In this
country. On the other hand, the Fiipinos
assert that they are actors and not laborers
They will probably appeal the case to Wash
ington.
WASHINGTON, May e-It was stated at
the Immigration bureau that the action OF
Commissioners North at San Francisco in
refusing landing to a company of native
Filipinos under contract to exhibit at dime
museum in New York City was entirely
proper. The contention of the Filipinos
that they are actors and not laborers prob
ably will not be sustained, except in case
1t can be eonclusiyely shown that they come
within the rulings of the department as to
character and standing in the theatrical
profession, which now appears extremely
doubtful.

CRUISER RALEIGH AGROUND
Draft of Nineteen Feet Proves Too
Great-Vessei is FIontcd at
Hiah Tide.

CHARLESTON, S. c., May 9.-The cruiser
Raleigh, which went on the bar while en-
tering the port today, was pulled off by
tugs at high tide this evening. The Raleigh
proceeded up the harbor to its anchorage.
1t was stated by its officers that a super
fetal examination disclosed no injuries to
it's hull. The Raleigh was coming in with
"A coast pilot and the point at which 1t
grounded is known as North Breaker,
just outside of the jetty. 1t went in the
shoal broadsde and lay easy in perfectly
calm water. The accident necesstated a
postponement of the official reception to
the cruiser and this will be carried out to-
morrow morning according to program.
WASHINGTON, May 9,-The officials were
not disposed to criticise the grounding OF
the Raleigh, the general opinion being that
there Is an unavoidable risk in taking a
vessel of such draft as the Raleigh into a
jettied harbor. The Raleigh drew fully
nineteen feet of water, and il 10 thought
that while it was on its proper course. ac-
cording to Captain Coghlan's statement OF
the ranges, perhaps the error In this case
was in attempting to take II in at that par
ticular stage of the tide. If the ship comes
off without damage 1t is improbable that
there will be any official notice taken o.
the matter, Otherwise, there must be a
court OF inquiry to fix the responsibility.

mental to their business under existing cir
cumstances. Mr.. Donnelly opposed the in
corporation Of trades unions because he was
afraid OF the courts.
James Duncan of Baltimore, secretary
treasurer of the Granite Cutters National
union, said that state arbitration had not
been satisfactory as a rule because the dis
position of arbitration boards was to reduce
wages where they were higher than in other
places. Mr.. Duncan complained bitterly OF
what he called the "accursed padrone sys-
tenn" He said that in New York the law
required the payment of S4 per day to gran

padrones furnished men upon agreement
that they should return So of the amount
received at the end OF the week. thus eyad-

this connection criticised the executive ac-

bark on the transport Logan for New York

depleted by discharge of soldiers who vol

TROUBLE AMONG THE FILIPlNOS
Forces of Generals Luna and Mns-
cardo Ready TO Fight with
Each other.

NEW YORK, May "a dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Manila says
Only the entreaties of Aguinaldo averted last
Tuesday civil war between the forces of
his two rival generals, Luna and Mascardo.
They were actually drawn up in battle
array. This and a positive confirmation Of
the news that Luna has 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 Laguna de Bay and Cavadonga,
which returned today from brisk expedi-
tion up the San Fernando river
1t was Immediately before the battle OF
San Tomas that the insurgents so nearly ar
rived at the point of beginning to extermi-
nate one another. General Luna, when he
saw that an engagement with the Ameri-
troops was inevitable, sent back an
aide posthaste to Bacolor, where General
Mascardo was, demanding reinforcements.
Mascardo's reply was that he would take
orders from no one but Aguinaldo.
This defiance so infuriated Luna that in
spite of the impending conflict with the COM
mon enemy, he took 1,500 OF his soldery
and made a forced march to Bacolor, intent
on chaetising his comradein arms. Mas
cardo was nothing 10th to fight 1t out and
ordered his command into line of battle.
both sides. Outside the opposing forces the
insurgent camp was all confusion.
Aguinaldo, terrified by the situation. or
dered his chief-of-staff, Colonel Arguelles, to
make peace at all hazards. The soldiers
loaded their pieces and were waiting for
orders to begin the onslaught when
Arguelles galloped between the lines.
frantically waving a flag of truce. There
was an angry conference between him and
the rival generals. Aguinaldo was drawn
into it, With all the intensity at his COM
mand he begged Luna and Mascardo not to
plunge the Philippine forces into civil
strife at a time when they were already
broken up and demoralized by successive de-
feats at the hands of the Americans.
His entreaties prevailed for the time
being. Luna soon returned to the front
after the commanding general had prom
ised him reinforcements, and ordered Mas
cardo to be court -martialed for not having
sent them at first.
The battle of San Tomas followed and
Luna, on whose ferocity in the field
Aguinaldo placed his chief reliance re-
ceived wounds that will disable him for the
rest of the campaign and may cause his
