TWENTY AMERICANS KILLED.
Garrison at CatubiE, Island of Samar,
Attacked-Ten of the Men
Escape.

Manila, May s. The American gar
rison of Catubig, island of Samar, con-
sisting of 80 men belonging to the For
ty-third regiment, has been attacked
by rebels. Twenty of the Americans
were killed. The remainder were res
cued.
The Americans were quartered in
the Catubig church, which the enemy,
numbering several hundred men. sur
rounded and fercely attacked. The
Americans fought for two days and
then the rebels managed to ignite the
roof of the church and it burned away
and finally fell upon those inside the
edifice. The walls remained intact,
however, and were used as a shelter
by the besieged Americans for three
days longer, the enemy attacking the
building on all sides at once
The belief is growing that Aguin-
aldo was killed by the Igorottes
There is no proof that he has been
alive since Maj. Peyton C. March, of
the Thirtythird regiment, abandoned
the chase after the Filipino leader in
the Benquet mountains.

Monday forenoon to the thunderous
music of booming cannon and the
cheers of 5000 lusty-voiced Americans
gathered in and around the Grand

Mayor Harrison welcomed him to

that patiently waited for his arrival
greeted him as he drove through the
streets to the hotel. Statutes of II
guns heralded his arrival at the
Grand Central station at 1885 o'clock,
five minutes ahead of the scheduled
time, and a second salvo. was fired
from the United States cruiser Mich
igan and revenue cutter Morrill,, sta

HORROR IN PARIS.
Temporary Bridge COllapses Burying
Number of People - Nine
Known to Be Dead.

Paris, April 3o.-An accident with.
in the exposition grounds caused a
total of nine deaths, while an equal
number of persons were injured
Three of those dead succumbed to
their injuries after being taken to the
hospital.
A temporary bridge, unable to with.
stand the Sunday crowd, broke. The
accident threw pail over the happi-
ness of an immense throng who had
profted by the magnificent weather
to visit the exposition. Sundays was
probably the record attendance. Not
merely the interior of the grounds.
but the precincts also, were crowded,
and the concourse was particularly
great along the Avenue de Sufren,
which forms the northern boundary
of the grounds.
Here is situated big sideshow, the
Celestial Globe. A foot bridge, on
which the finishing touches were be-
ing put crosses the Avenue de Sufren,
connecting the sideshow with the ex-
hibition. 1t was constructed of wood
tornado tower at each end. Strange
ly enough, the bridge had been con-
demned only Sunday morning as I'M
safe by the exposition authorities.
The public was therefore not allowed
to go upon the structure. and in this
way a disaster even more terrible than
that which occurred was averted.
The weighty plaster towers seem to
be responsible for the fall of the
structure. The disaster was the lead
ing topic of discussion in the cafes
and at the other Paris resorts, and
strong criticism was leveled against
the exposition authorities for allow
ing an unfinished structure to ieop-
ardize the lives of citizens, fears be-
ing expressed that the incomplete
state of works within the exhibition
grounds themselves might lead to a
similar accident. It should be said,
however, that the exhibition authori-
ties are not responsible for the de-
fective construction of the foot
bridge, which was erected by the man
agement of the Celestial Globe. AS a
result of the accident. NJ. Pepine, pre-
feet of police, has ordered the closing
of several sideshows, the structural
arrangements of which are considered
dangerous.
