The Rebels Scattered.


"NJanila. June 9.-Adjutant General,
Washington: The result OF the move
ments in Morong province was to drive
the insurgents into the mountains cap
turing Antipoli and other towns IN tnat
section. They retreated and scattered De-
fore our advance, leaving 20 dead on the
field. Our loss is four killed and few
wounded, mostly slight. The city OF Mo-
rong is garrisoned. All other troops are
Withdrawn.
Inhabitants of the provinces profess
friendship, and ask protection. Large
numbers wish to enter Manila, but were
refused, as the city's population is in~reas-
| ing too rapidly. The leading natives
about the island, including active insur-
gent leaders, ask permission to send their
families to Manila, as it is considered the
only place of personal security"
The conclusions drawn by the war de-
partment officials concerning the condi-
ton in the Philippines, given IN the dis-
match of General Otis, are that the in
surgents are little more than marauding
band which will continually decrease when
the men find there is life and liberty un-
der American government. The people
who are coming into the American line
asking protection are considered like those
who sought protection in the forts during
the early stages Of American development
in the west.
Nothing is said as to the intention OF
Otis to continue active hostilities, but
this matter is left wholly to his discretion
and he will no doubt fight or rest as the
circum. tances determine.
Return of the Volunteers.
The Oregons request to defer the time
of their departure until the 18th. They
will leave for Portland ON the transports
Ohio and Newport. The Sixth infantry's
arrival will relieve the Californians at
Neglos. The Hancock sails in few days
with the Nebraska and other troops.
General Otis has been advised that it is
the wish of the president that all arrange
ments be made to give the returning
troops comfortable voyage and that the
best care of them be taken so that nc
sickness may break out among them.
1t is also said that precautions will be
taken not to load the transports too heav.
lily so that the returning troops may have
plenty cf loom.
The battleship Oregon will soon be sta.
toned off Dagupan, in the gulf of Lin
gayen, on blockade duty.

bail, and as he was leaving the court
house with the crowd he was shot dead.

BIG STRIKE IN CLEVELAND.
THE STREET CARS TIED UP.
fourteen Lines Are stopped-Owned by

Cleveland, June ll.-What promises to
be a long and bitter contest between the
Cleveland Electric Railway big CONSOLE
dated) and its 900 employees has been
inaugurated by strike which tied up all
of the IA lines operated by the company
These lines reach all sections of the city
and they form the only means of trans
portation for more than 100000 people
living in territory five miles long and
three miles wide at the south end. The
west side is affected but little, only one
line passing through that section, while
on the east side four lines of the Little
Consolidated, of which Senator Hanna is
president, are available for use by most of
the patrons of the tied-up lines in that
section. Thus far the Little Consolidated
men have refused to strike and are not
likely to go out.
VIII Recognize No Union.
President Henry A. Everett says he is
willing to concede all the other demands
for the men and will adjust all other
grievances when presented by his EN-
ployees, but declares he will never recog-
nize the union, whose demands he char
acterizes as tyrannical. 1t is well under
stood the company has employed men in
other cities to take the places of the
strikers, but it is difficult to ascertain
whether many of these men are now in
the city. Only about half dozen cars
were operated today. There were two
Euclid avenue lines and they were under
the guard of deputy sheriffs and were
operated by imported men.
A few mail cars were run by the strik-
ers, who say they will not obstruct the
mail. There have been several riotous
demonstrations, but none. of serious
nature.
