From Manila.

Manila, July 27.-General Hall cap
tured Calamba, on the south shore OF
Laguna de bay, today after sharp fight
ing. The American loss was four killed
aud eleven wounded.
Manila, July IA Thousand picked
men under General Hall yesterday cap
tured Calamba on the southwest shore
of Laguna De Bay. The town was the
headquarters of General Mslbares and
the centre OF the insurgent telegraph
system 10 southern Luzon. The insur-
gents lay quiet in their works till all
the Americans had landed. Then they
opened brisk fire on the advancing
Americans but were driven from their
position and across the river. The
fighting continued three hours. After
their retreat it was found that the in.
surgents had removed their killed and
wounded. About three hundred men
defended the town against the Ameri.
caIs. The expedition was complete
surprise to the enemy. The place will
be permanently garrisoned.
Manila, July 27.-The insurgents
who had been driven from Calambs
yesterday returned today and furiously
attacked the American outposts. Sew
eral companies OF the 2lst regulars and
Washington volunteers sailed out OF
the town and again drove them into
the hills after brisk fight.
Manila, July 27.-Advices from Bala-
bac tell of a fight between landing
party from gun ooat and small force
of Fiipinos in which the native chief, bis
frs. officer and six men were killed and
several wounded. The Americans suf-
fered no loss. The natives had hauled
down the Ameaican flag which was
floating over the light house and hoist
ed their own. The American command
or sent two officers and Is marines
ashore and q stubborn fight followed
but the rebels were driven of and their
standard hauled down.

times to dispense crowds. No serious
damage was done.
Cincinnati. July 27.-The Cincinnati
street car employees are becoming rest
less and strike is threatened. The
men want 20 cents an hour and a 10

last Monday night to strike Saturday

Detroit, Mich, July 27.-After q
night of conference between the street
railway employees union and officials OF
he local system, all points have been
adjusted with the exception of the
matter of wages. The men believe

leaders to make every effort to get the
Admiral to accept the nomination OF

absolutely refuses to accept such nom.

PRESIDENT HEUREAUX ASSAS.
SINATED.

Gen. UIises Heuresux, President of
the Dominican Republic, was assassin
ated at Moca, Santo Domingo, at half
past four o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The name of the murderer is Ramon
Caceros. He succeeded in making his
escape, but an energetic pursuit was at
once begun. and it is probable that he
will soon be captured. Vice President
General Wencoslao Figuereo immedi
ately upon the announcement of the
Presidents death, assumed the direc
ton of affairs. At present calmness
prevails everywhere in the republic.
The remains of President Heureaux
will probably be taken to SantO Do
mingo for the funeral services.
President Heuresux was soldier
during his entire lifetime. One of his
arms was psralyzed from wound he
received by rife ball in battle. He
is described by Americans familiar with
his career as a man without fear, and
when there was any disturbance or revo-
luton in any part of the republic. be
mounted his horse and went pellmell
himself to the front as leader and learn
ed ali the details of the revolution as
we'll as the causes leading to it. Presi-
dent Heureaux was about fifty four
years of age. He spoke English fluent
~, and treated everybody who ap.
preached him with courtesy.
Puerto Plate, Santo Domingo, July
N.-It is learned that President Heure.
aux met his death at the hands of three
men as he was entering friends house.
The three fired at Heureaux with re
volvers and one shot entered the heart,
causing instant death. Friends CT
the President returned the fire
bu. the asssssins fled and their where
abouts are not known. Heureaux was
at Moca on one of his periodical trips
10 investigate affairs on the island. The
assassination is believed to be due to
personal luminosity of Caceres, the
chief assassin. The father OF Caceres
was executed by orders OF Heureaux
in 1884.

Sailed on q Sea of Oil.

London, July 2Y.-From the discovery Of
vast fields of oil at sea by the crew of the
steamship Bstoum. which has just arrived at
Dunkirk from Philadelphia, it is feared that
one of the large bulk oil steamships owned
by the Standard Oil Company, which trade
between Philadelphia and European ports.
has been lost with all of her crew If so, she
doubtless oollided with one of the many ice.
bergs now a menace TO navigation on the
Grand Banks of Newfoundland. The Batoum
passed through fields OF petroleum, each COW
ering space over six miles tqusre, on July
8, in latitude Il degrees north and 81 de.
grees west, which is near the southern edge
of the banks. Captain Brown, master of the
Batoum, does not doubt that an oil vessel has
met with disaster. and the floating oil seems
TO bear ont the idea OF collision with an ice.

named Allan Cameron was living 10 q
small cabin on the shore of Shoal Bay
and spent his time prospecting in the
neighboring country. One day in June
he disappeared. Not along ago Cam
eron's skeleton was found in the woods
a short distance from the hut, stripped
of flesh. 1t is supposed that the un-
fortunate man while prospecting fell
down a crevioe in the mountains,
breaking his leg, and had then cra"led
on his hands and knees for nearly two
miles. Unable, because Of weakness
and exhaustion, to reach his cabin, he
had been attacked and devoured BY

The perot Abduction Case.

Liverpool, July 27.-Mrs. Letit:a
Perot, the alleged abductress of her
own child from its grandparents, the
legal guardians, in Baltimore, and who
sailed for ENGLAND week ago, was
arrested upon Der arrival hes tn 9
morning. Mrs Perot was accompanied
by a gentleman and her daughter
GLADYS Their names were entered in
the passenger list as Mr. and Mr. I,

Blood, a brother OF Lady Colin CAM n
bell.
New York, July 27.-William e..
Perot, the grandfather of Gladys Perot,
sailed for England yesterday, in COM
pany.with detective. Mrs. Perot was a
famous Baltimore beauty when she
married William Y. Perot, whose father
Is an Englshman of wealth, and still q
British subject. Two children, son
and daughter, were born to them. Some
Time later the wife secured divorce
and the children were given to the Cal Q
of their grandfather. Mrs. Perot then
went to England and recently returned
to this country in company with Cap
tain Neptune Blood, eaid to be a
wealthy resident of Brooklyn, n. Y.
She went TO Baltimore and asked per-
mission of her father-in-law to have her
children visit her. This WAS granted
her, and after the children had been a
short time with her, she sent the boy
back, and. taking the little girl, at once
started for Montreal, where she took
passage for Liverpool on the steamer
Cambroman. Detectives sent after her
by the grandfather reached the dock
Just as the Cam brennan was pulling out.
Mrs. Perot will be extradited if pos
sible.
London, July 27.-Mrs Perot arrived
here this afternoon. 1t was at first
thought that the plan to arraign Mrs
Perot in the Bow street police court to-
day could not be adhered to, as the
court was occupied with the case OF
Booth, the Salvation Army leader, who
isaccused drumming an unlicensed lodg'
ing house. At the request OF the Ameri.
can Embassy, however, the court held
open over time and Mrs. Perot was ar
raigned. She was held in 200 pounds bail
which was furnished. Mrs. Perot was
then released to appear for hearing
one week from today. Meanwhile the
prisoner retains the custody of her child.

reutors of 81 900 in realty, and have re
sided in their respective districts one
year, are qualified as voters in the cleo

certainly But in the South all negro
men who look as if they might be
tweuty-one years old, though they
don't know from bulls foot and don't
own g dollars worth of any sort OF
property and don't rent any, are per-
mitted to vote, and many of them do so
though they have not resided in their

Porto Rico, for whose protection the
qualifications upon suffrage referred to
are imposed, are not Southern white
