THE STRIKE IS

 PoWeIPS Statement.

Atlanta, Ga., May S.-President W. V. Powell, of the Order of Railway Teleg- raphers has issued order to be effective Il a. m. today formally discontinuing the strike of the Southern Railway Telegra- phers declared April 12, 19O0
 In his statement President Powell an- nounces the decision of the officers of the order regarding the strike. He states that the telegraphers can apply to the Southern for employment without being considered by the order as scabs, but advises them not to do so. He says:
 "It is to be regretted that some of the purposes for which the strike was inau- gurated were not entirely successful. Had all the membership of the organization and those who agreed to support 1t in this struggle remained loyal to the cause, 1t would have been possible to give to you the notice of a complete victory"
 President Powell asserts that While the strike controversy is ended the boycott fea- ture on the Southern will be continued by the order, and concludes his statement as follows:
 1.-The fight against the Southern Railway will never be stopped by the organization until such time as it comedies the things

REBELS ATTACK
 THE AMERICANS Three of the United States Sol- dierS Were Killed and Sev-
 eraI Wounded.

Manila, May S.-A force of rebels on May 2 attacked twenty men of Company l of the Forty-fourth regiment, stationed at Barotac, Iloilo province, on the island of Panay. Three of the Americans were killed and several wounded.
 The enemy, estimated to number 400 men, surrounded Barotac and attacked the place on all sides. After two men had been killed and four wounded the American com mander sent four men to try and get through to communicate with the remain der of the company at Dumangas. Of the four men, one was killed and three wound- ed. The latter managed to return to Baro- tao.
 A friendly native finally brought news of the fight to company of the Twenty sixth regiment, who succored the garrison of Barotac on the night of May g. The Filipino loss was heavy.
 A court composed of General Hal pre- siding, General Grant and several colonels, convened today at Manila to try James S. Petit of the Thirty-first volunteer infantry on the charge of having violated the 62nd article of war in having delivered the cap tured outlaw, Juan Ramos, to the local authorities of Zamboanga, island of Min diano, with the result that Ramos was al- most immediately killed without trial
