A Plot Discovered by Army Secret
Service Men.
Insurcent Recruiting Office Found in
An Isolated Locality - Encourage

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD. - The
Secretary of War has been furnished
with copies of some interesting docu-
ments relating to an alleged plot
against the authorities in Manila,
which were discovered in the district
of San Miguel. The Secret Service
Department, under Lieutenant Charles
r. Trowbridge, Eleventh Cavalry,
early in June stumbled upon an inSur-
gent recruiting office. situated in an
isolated locality. where the work
might be carried on without attracting
notice. One room Of the house was
fitted uD as an Office, and large guam
tity of blank forms, bearing the head
line, "Republica Filipinas.' were
found. In a cupboard, which had been
securely fastened, Trowbridse and his
men discovered q large quantity of
papers, all of recent date, the latest
being June Z. They consisted of Or
ders from Aguinaldo and letters of en-
couragement and instruction from that
leader and other insurgent chiefs.
A document which excited a great

tanned the details Of plot, arranged
evidently early in June, to excite an
uprising in Manila. The plan contem-
plated an attack upon the force in the
city and the seizure of arms and am
munition. Another paper which is of
interest is translated as follows:
I'VE will not be slaves. Let the Fill
piros stand together and battle for
their liberties. Already they have laid
the cornerstone of their liberties, and
it will not be long before the nations
Of the world will recognize their

martyrs bears ample testimony to the
Filipinos' love of freedom and their de-
termined purpose not to cease strug

NEW ENGLAND.
The Drought Serious and Short Crops
Generally Reported.

Boston (SpeciaD. - The continued
drought in Middle and Southern New
England has begun to threaten the
later crops. In Massachusetts the
early corn is Il failure, and the pota-
toes. though well grown. are bedded IN
dust. and cannot do any more without
rain soon. Only Maine and the north.
;ern counties in New Hampshire ana
Vermont report sufficient rains during
the past week. In the South there has
been steady and general complaint of
the drought. In some places the injury
to crops is already irreparable.
The condition of the crops is serious.
There has been no rain beyond local
showers anywhere in the district for
two weeks. Where the showers have
occurred vegetables and fruit have
made rapid growth, but by far the
greater part Of the crops is suffering.
The northern districts have not been
able to do much toward harvesting
hay. because Of rain. anomalous rs it
seems. In many sections of Middle
New England the pasturage is short,
and farmers are already feeding their
stock in their barns.
