Manila, Sept. 3, 7:5O a. m.-The in
surgents made an unsuccessful attempt
early yesterday morning to drive Col
onel Smiths command out of Angeles
with artillery, the first time they at
tempted to use this arm for months.
They brought two Krupp guns from
Porac and fired eight shTapnels at the
town at dawn. Only few of the shells
exploded and the aim of the gunners
being bad no damage was done. Lieu
tenant Kenley's guns, of the First ar
tillery, were brought into action imme-
diately, and soon drove the enemy from
their position.
At 4:30 O'Clock this morning a small
party of insurgents fired on Guagua,
which is held by two companies of the
Ninth regiment of infantry, supported
by the gurboat Laguna de Bay. One

Americans accomplished this under fire,

them. The native strength was esti-
mated at 400. Many of the insurgents

LABOR DAY IN CHICAGO.

There-3O.OOO In Line.


Chicago, Sept. labor day was
ions with the largest parade of the
kind ever given in Chicago, between
%, 900 and $4,000 men being in line.
Chicago. Sept. 4.-The Labor day
parade formed in Michigan avenue at 9
O'Clock this morning, the head of the
column starting from Twelfth street.
The line moved north toJackson boule-
ward, thence west to Franklin street,
north TO Washington street, east to
Dearborn street, turning north in
Dearborn street and, after crossing the
river. moving to Lincoln park by way
of Dearborn avenue. The parade was
dismissed at Lincoln park and the par
ticipants proceeded by street cars to
Sharpshooters' park, where the annual
Labor day picnic is being held under
the direction of the Building Trades
council.
Conservative estimates place the
number of men who participated in the
parade at 20 900, but allowing for the
usual shortage which is attendant upon
such celebrations it is safe to say that
about $4,000 paraded this morning. The
parade constituted the first and main
feature of the day. The guests OF hon

MURDER IN a STRIKE.
One Man Killed, Two Fata lily Injured and
Several Wounded.

Wilkebarre. Pa, Sept. 4.-The strike
at the Stevens colliery, operated by the
Stevens Coal company at West Pittston,
eliminated in a riot Saturday morning
in which one man was killed, two prob
ably fatally wounded, and a half score
of others hurt The man killed was
Leopold Walcofski, a striking miner,
shot through the head. The fatally in
jured are: Samuel Traker, watchman
at the mine. and George Brande. coal
and iron policeman. Traler was shot
through the left side and Brande in the
head. The others most seriously in
jured were John Sodoski, shot in the
neck John Parry, struck on head with
stone; J. Suboski. slight wound in left
arm. These three are strikers.
The trouble at the mine started q
month ago when the employees, mostly
Polanders and Slavs, quit work because
the company would not grant them GER
tain concessions. Several attempts
had been made to settle the difficulty
amicably, but without success. AT last
the company decided to make an effort
to resume operations with new men.
The strikers gave warning that it
would be a dangerous undertaking for
any one to enter the mines and attempt
to take their places.
Accordingly when the new men went
to the mine escorted by the company
police, they were first stoned and then
fired on and Traker fatally wounded.
The police replied with the result above
stated. The company got warrants cut
for the rioters and had eleven arrested,
and the strikers responded with war
rants for the arrest of deputies on
charge of murder.

DOCUMENTS OFBoRDEREAU.
LaborI Demands to Know ~ They Were
Delivered to Foreign Power.


Rennes, Sept. THE first witness
was Cernuschi. alleged to be scion of
the Servian royal house. He claimed
friend, high in official foreign Office
of a central European power, told him
certain foreign agents in France
might denounce him. among them
Dreyfus. He was similarly warned
by a foreign general of the staff. The
latter, taking from his pocket vol
luminous packet of military docu-
ments, said Dreyfus furnished this
information. Labori said since the
prosecution had summoned foreigners
he would apply to have steps taken to
ascertain whether the documents men,
toned in the bordereau were delivered
to foreign power; if so, by whom.
After several hot passages over ir-
relevant matters, Commissary Secret
of Police Tomps testified that he was
called to the general staff Office to in
vestigate the case Of espionage.
Tomps testified that he had investi-
gated the Paulmier affair. Paulmier
was a valet of Schwartzkoppen the
General military attache, and it was
alleged he saw on SchwartZkoppen' s
desk documents signed by Dreyfus.

unable to find Paulmier.
Labori suggested that Hennion,
sub-chief of political police, had made
investigations. Hennion was called
to the stand and testified that he did
investigate the Paulmier matter and
actually found Paulmier, who told
him there was not word of truth in
the story. He never saw the paper
Iearing Dreyfus' name. Hennion
added he reported the fact to the gem
eraI staff. Cuignet and Capt Junck
declared the only report Paulmier
could not be found was received at
headquarters. Asked where even this
report was. they were obliged to ad-
nit il could not be found. Adj

showed that Dreyfus could not have
written Il am going to the manoeu-

bordercau was written that he was not
going to the manoeuvers- Generally
Saturday was good day for Dreyfus.
