THIRTY THOUSAND. OUT.

Many Workmen Strike in New York City
and Neighboring Towns.
NEW YORK, April About 80, 900
workmen in New York and neighboring
towns struck during the day for ad-
vances in wages or shorter hours. Most
of the strikers are carpenters, and the
enormous amount of building in
progress fayors the men. In the bor-
ough Of Bronx the carpenters demand
$3.50 per day Of nine hours, with half
holiday Saturday, and in Mount Yer
non they asked 1926 for the same
amount Of work. At Newark, N. j.,
the carpenters demand $3 for a day
Of eight hours. They now get %. 75 for
a day Of nine hours. The men are well
organized and the contractors are not
making a united stand. Indeed there
is q general disposition to comp romise
and several have made agreements with.

REPUBLICANS UNITED.
In Consequence Republicans show Gains
in Ohio Towns.

In OHIO Towns. sS&{ 81
. CINCINNATI, April IA summary Of
the results Of the municipal and town
ships elections in Ohio indicate more
Republican than Democratic gains, but
no special cause for it is ascribed except
that the Republican factions which have
been fighting for years have evidently
been getting together and the Demo
Gratis have shown more Indifference
than usual. This applies especially to
the larger cities, but there has been Re-
publican gains according to returns from
rural districts and interior towns that
are not thus accounted for. The result
in Cincinnati, which, on an average
plurality, more than reverses the result
at the last general municipal election,
is attributed to less factional fighting
among the Republicans and the indif-
ference of the Democrats In Cleve-
land, where the factions have been
most intense, the result is also decisive
The Republicans elected their ticket at
Toledo, where Mayor Samuel Jones has
held sway as an independents factor for
years. 3;
At Dayton the Democrats reelected
Mayor Lindmuth. At some interior
points the Republicans elected officers
where they have never elected them be-
fore, while there have been no phe-
nomenal gains by the Democrats. As
local issues were paramount at almost
all places it is difficult to indicate any
cause fer the drift Of pub-c preferences.

Cabinet Discusses the Reduction
Of the War Revenues by
Congress.
Administration FaYors Revision
So as to Cut Down the
Receipts.
But It Might Prolong the ses-
sion More Than Would Be
Advisable. h.

WASHINGTON, April 4 AT the cab
met meeting a dispatch was read from
General Otis, covering the operations
of the army in the Philippines for a
considerable time. The subject Of 9
reduction Of the revenues by congress
was discussed. 1t is understood the adj
ministration is in favor of revision of
the war revenue act, SO as to cut down
the receipts, but in view of the fact
that to make any move in that direction
probably would prolong the present
session Of congress for many weeks, If
not months, it is thought by represen-
tatiye Republicans that nothing in this
line would be advisable at this session.
The resignation of Assistant Secretary
of the Interior Webster Davis was dis
cussed, and it is understood the presi-
dent will accept the same through the
secretary of the interior.

ST. PAUL, April 4.-Sales Of public
lands in Minnesota during the past year

Seeks to Correct Some Erroneous
Impressions in the United
States.
Our Troops Have Had Over a
Hundred Skirmishes Since
Jan. /.
Have Lost Eighty-one Men Killed
and Twice the Number
Injured.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-General Otis
has cabled to the war department. prob
ably with aview to correcting erroneous
impressions that exist in this country as
to the state of the insurrection in the
Philippines, summary Of the result Of
the development Of the campaign since
the first of the calendar year. His
figures 60 far toward offsetting the be-
lief that exists in some quarters that
since the adoption of guerilla methods
of warfare the insurgents have inflicted
substantial loss upon American arms,
in comparison with the punishment
which they have themselves received.
A significant sentence in the report diff
ferentiates Insurgents and ladrones,
showing that Otis has taken cognizance
OF the fact that a considerable number
of hostiles are not soldiers under the
rules OF war, and may not expect the
same treatment. The report, which is
dated Manila, April 8, is as follows:
''Since Jan. l, 124 skirmishes in Phil
ippines have been reported, mostly very
slight affairs. Our casualties were three
officers and 70 enlisted men killed, 13
officers and l51 men wounded. Insur-
gent and Ladrone loss in killed and left
on field, 1926; captured, mostly wound
ed, 1853; small arms secured, 3,O51;
pieces of artillery, 165; large captures Of
other insurgent property. Anumber of
important insurgent officers are sur
rendering and the situation is grad
ually becoming more pacific. d

works, which the British shelled yester-
day afternoon, the Beers replying.
LONDON, April IF Fuller news Of the
disaster to the British army in the
neighborhood of Sannah's Post does not
tend to improve matters from British
point ofSyiew, but with the dispatches
SO mystifying, it is impossible to accu-
rately portray the present situation, or
to foreten the ultimate issue OF Lord
Roberts attempt to retrieve the defeat.
The war office has posted dispatch
from Lord Roberts, reading as follows:
Bloemfo fontein, April 2, 1920 p. M
In continuation Of my telegram Of
March 81, there has been considerable
delay in getting accurate returns Of the
casualties, as the action took place %
miles hence, the telegraph cable has
been interrupted several times, cloudy
weather has interfered with signalling,
and although there has been no engage
ment since, the force is continually in
touch with the enemy. There were
many acts of conspicuous gallantry dis
played during the day. g. remained
in action under a cross-fre at 1 200
yards for some hours, the officers serv-
ing the guns as the casualties reduced
the detachments. Several gallant at
tempts were made to bring in two guns,
the teams of which had been killed, but
at each attempt, the horses were shot.
The Essex, Munster, Shropshire and
Northumbe berland mounted infantry and
Roberts horse covered the retirement
of the guns from that position to the
crossing of the drift fround by the cav
airy two miles further south, and with
stood the determined attacks of the
enemy, who, in some cases, advanced
within 100 yards. 'U' battery of the
Royal Horse Artillery was suddenly
surrounded in the drift and the officers
and men were all made prisoners with
out shot being fred. But Major Tay-
1or and sergeant major succeeded in
escaping in the confu sion. Five guns
were captured at the same time,
Further details tomorrow" Z,
Lord Roberts dispatch seems to
finally dispose Of the earlier report of
the recovery Of the guns, and the facts
that the Beers remain in occupation Of
the Waterworks is taken as an indica-
tion that they intend to make a stand
sufficiently long. to cover the withdraw
al of the guns and wagons to a place Of
safety, although the absence of definite
information regarding the movements
of General French's cavalry makes it
difficult to estimate their chances Of
adding this browning success to the
blow already inflicted.

FEARFUL CARNAGE. !

Scenes at Bushmans Kop Tell a Terrible
Tale of surprise and Slaughter.
BusHMANs KoP, Sunday, April l.
The Beers, who were hidden in the
spruit when the British guns were cap.
tured yesterday, were commanded by
Reichman, q German American. They
are still holding the waterworks and the
line Of hills behind them. 81
Following the scouts OF General
French IS cavalry division to the scene
Of battle this correspondent witnessed
one Of. the most terrible spectacles Of the
war. Horses lay stiffened in the various
attitudes Of sudden death and mingled
among them were ghastly human bodies
with the wrecks Of wagons and food
and forage scattered wide. Every thing
told a terrible tale Of surprise and car
mage. u It would be impossible to con-
ceive anything more ingenious than the
Boer trap, and the only wonder is that
single man escaped.
Scene Of FrightfuI Confusion.
When the convoy was first attacked a
s4T
scene OF frightful confusion followed.
The mules stamp peded and the wagons
were overturned, while the concealed
enemy poured in well directed fire
until they seemed disinclined to con-
tinue the slaughter and called on the
British to surrender. In the meantime
b battery, which had come mp under
heavy fire, wheeled into action and be-
gan shelling the Beers with the four re-
manning guns. The Beers confess that
this battery accounted for five killed
end nine wounded of their losses
Early in tho afternoon the Beers col-
looted about the convoy, began renov-
ing the gums and wagons and permitted
the collection Of the British dead and
wounded. Our actual casualties were
Less than had been expected.

STATEMENT BY PAYNE.

Believes Congress Is Likely to Reduce the
War Revenue.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The resolu-
ton of Chairman Payne of the ways
and means committee, relative to the
treasury surplus and the probable inN
come and expenses of the government,
is a mere preliminary to the determi-
nation by the ways and means commit
tee whether it viii be safe to recon-
mend any reduction in the present
sources of income. After the adoption
of the resolution by the house Mr..
Payne authorized the following state
ment: #
The object of the resolution is to get
information from the secretary of the
treasury that viii enable the ways and
means committee to determine whether
it is safe to attempt reduction of the
revenue, and in case that is decided
adirmatively, then along what lines this
reduction should be made. 1t is true
there is a surplus of $54, ZOO, 900 for the
nine months ending Saturday last and
SIG, SOC, 900 for the month of March.
Whether this surplus is to be increased
or not for the balance of the fiscal year
is one of the questions on which we de-
sire information. .-,
..e Much Depends on Bond Refunding.
"Should all of the $3.50, 900, 900 Of
bonds which can be refunded under the
refunding act be paid some $50, 900, 900
would be absorbed in this operation
Mr.. Payne was asked if he considered
it probable that legislation for this re-
duction would be presented at this ses-
sion of congress. H..
Il cannot say as to that until we get
the information. IF any action is taken
sufficient reduction can be made under
the war revenue act, which was an
emergency act passed in 1898. T am
opposed to interfering in any way with
the Dingley tariff law of 1897"
Representative Dalzen of Pennsyl-
vania, also on the ways and means COM
rnittee, said that in no event would
there be any step toward changing the
tariff law.
He expressed the opinion that the
stamp taxes, which came most gener-
ally under the eye of the public, were
those likely to receive early attention.
