REVOLT In INSANE ASYLUM
EIGHT OF THE KEEPERS OYER
POWERED AT MATTEAWAN, N. Y.
Twenty Patients Suddenly Attack Them
and Capture the Keys--All Then Make
a Dash for Liberfy-The Keepers Re-
covering Pursued Them but Seven
Succeeded in Escaping.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Oct. I.-There
| was a revolt at the Matteawan state
hospital for the criminal insane at $50
o'clock tonight, when six or eight
keepers were assaulted and overpow-
cred by about twenty insane patients.
Some of the patients escaped and seven
are still at large, One or two of the
keepers are badly bruised as result
of the assault.
After the patients had been given
their usual Sunday night supper they
We're taken back to their apartments in
company with the keepers, Among
the number We're fifteen or twenty who
slept in one of the large corridors, this
being necessary on account of the
cramped conditions at the institution.
In this hall with the patients were six
or eight keepers, who sat In their chairs
watching the inmates as they walked
up and down the hall in a restless
manner There We're no suspicious
movements on the part Of the patients
to indicate that they had been planning
a revolt of any kind.
Suddenly each keeper was attacked
simultaneously by two or three patients
and heavy blows fell on the heads of
the surprised attendants. There did
not seem to be any leader of the revolt
and while the patients We're assaulting
the keepers they would gaze at each
other occasionally, as if waiting for the
word to make the break for liberty.
The keys held by the keepers were soon
taken from them and a rush was then
made for the door leading from the hall
into the dining room.
AS the patients rushed through the
dining room each one of them picked
from the table a heavy plate, cup or
bowl to use as weapons in case they
We're overtaken by the keepers.
From the dining room they went
through to adjoining rooms, the doors
of which We're unlocked and then into
the long hall leading to the rear en-
trance. The keys We're well known to
them and the rear door was unlocked
and the mob rushed out of the door !
fighting with each other as they went |
each wanting to be in the lead and to
reach the outer gate first. When the |
gate was thrown open they rushed out |
of the yard fairly tumbling over each |
other in their anxiety to be free again |
The keepers recovering from their sur
prise, pursued the patients and captur-
ed all but seven Of them before they
had gone far outside the gates. Search |
ing parties are after the patients that
escaped

SITUATION IN PHILIPPINES.
A letter From o-Hfnts at
New Rebel Fians.

Manila, Oct 21.-Senor Buencamino
has received what purports to be a let
ter from Aguinaldo ordering the former
leaders of the revolution who are now
in Manila to desist from the formation
of political parties and to cease all their
attempts at pacification. The letter
mysteriously hints that plans are ma
turing among the armed rebels in the
field and describes these as best for the
country" Senior Buencamino declares
that the letter Is genuine.
The military situation was compare
lively quiet last week. The commits
sion, the military authorities, the Fill
pinos and the foreigners are awaiting
the result Of the presidential election In
the United States. Many persons assert
that whatever this may be 1t will have
no immediate effect upon the armed sit
uaton in the Philippines and that dis
orders and guerilla attacks will continue
for a time.
The Philippine commission has pass
ed a bill appropriating $475,0o0 gold FOR
| the payment of expenses incurred for
| the benefit of the insular government
during October. The bill goes carefully
into detail regarding the Items Of ex-
penditure throughout the archipelago.
Judge Taft, president of the commits
sion, has been engaged for some time
in taking a mass of Filipino testimony
in regard to the conduct and policy of
the friars, this being a continuation Of
the investigation which began with the
depositions of bishops and me1nbers ot
monastic orders. The statements of the
Filipinos go to show that the friars
under the Spanish regime, greatly abus-
ed their limitless political and religious
powers over the community and that
this abuse of authority often led to i'm
morality. All the testimony offered by
the Filipinos shows that they do not
desire the return of the friars to the
parishes.
Archbishop Chappeleu has gone to the
more peaceful provinces of northern
Iuzon, accompanied by three Domini-
can friars 1t Is asserted and generally
believed that he intends to re-estabhsh
these friars in certain parishes; and the
trip is exciting the natives in Manila
who call upon their countrymen to pre-
vent the re-establishment of any friar
on the ground that it would fix dan
gerous precedent for the future.

and Officers with Loaded RevoIvers-
One OF the Crew shot-Negroes All Ar
rested Whom Boat Arrives in New York
New York, Oct 21.-Thirty-two color
ed men were brought before Magistrate
Mott in the police court to-day. The
offense charged against them was that
of inaugurating reign Of terror on the
sound steamer City of Lowell, which
plies between this port and New Lon
don. Conn.
John b. Boardman, boatswain Of the
steamer, was the complainant against
/ the men, He said that they were
| brought by the steamboat company to
| New London last Friday to take the
places of a number of dock men who
are on strike there. James Vaughan,
the reputed leader of the imported la
borers, upon learning Of the strike re-
| fused to permit his companions to fill
the places of the strikers, and after
loading up on whiskey the thirty-two
boarded the City of Lowell in New Lon
don at 1890 o'clock Sunday morning to
return to New York.
They were given accommodations on
the forward main deck, but according
to Boatswain Boardman, they were all
drunk and had smuggled aboard innu-
merable TASKS of whiskey, which they
consumed during the early morning
hours, and then went In search OF more.
They tried to break into the barroom
of the boat, but were met by Captain
Meisters and his officers, who, with
loaded revolvers, held the thirsty ones
at bay and drove them to the main
deck. The negroes began firing revol-
vers, of which, according to Boardman,
they possessed q number. A few pas
sengers on board, alarmed by the PAN
demonium below, left their berths and
huddled in the main saloon for safety,
guarded by the captain and his officers.
Along about o'clock in the morning
bullet fired at random by one of the ne
groes ploughed through the WOODWORK
of the bunk occupied by Henry Casey
in the forecastle. Casey is deck hand
and the bullet entered the fleshy part
of his right arm, inf1icting a pa1nful
wound.
The negroes had the run Of the lower
deck of the boat until her arrival IN
New York at o'clock this morning,
when the police were summoned, ana
they were taken in patrol wagons to the
station. %Boardman was asked II he
could identify any of the leaders In the
ruction. He passed UP and down the
line and picked out Vaughan and An
drew Frisbie as those foremost In the
disturbance Vaughan denied that he
took any part in the disturbance. He
said it was against his principles to
take the bread out of another mans |
and that was the reason he /
would not allow his men to fill the strlk- !
ers places.
After hearing the story Magistrate
Mott let all go except Frisbie, who was
fined because a revolver was found on
him with one chamber discharged.
