A SPANISH WOMAN FIGHTER,
senora Gnmundi Who Fearlessly Led
a Revolt OF Prisoners Held
by FilipinOs.

The Spanish commission estimates
the number of Spanish subjects yet In
the hands of the rebels at roo. Stories
Of their wretched condition are coming
into Manila daily. They are on the verge
of starving, for the mountains where
they are detained can provide very lit
tie food and the Americans are holding
the principal towns round about. Sc
nora Gamundi, wife of Second Lieut..
Pedro Gamundi, is among the SO0pris-
oners now held in the hills surround
ing Mount Cristobal, atwhose base is the
village of Dolores. The district con-
tains many rebels of the worst class,
men who have done no work for the
last three years and have lived by car
rying a rifle and preying on the inhab-
itants, says the New York Sun.
Sonora Gamundi, so the story goes,
has proved herself Castilian Joan OF
Are by putting herself at the head OF
the forlorn band and defying the Fill
pino keepers. Aiming her male COM
panions with sharp sticks and stones.
She led a wild charge which came very
near effecting the liberty of the entire
lot. She is type of the natives Of
Galicia in Spain. She is slight OF build
and has long auburn hair and a fair
skin. Unable long to endure the indigni-
ties to which her comrades were sub
iected she at last started the revolt
which she had been secretly urging the
men themselves to make. TO be killed
is better than to starve," she declared
one day, "and we can at least enjoy a
revenge"
at win be useless to try. We shall
only be killed or else be compelled to
submit to further torture" the racn
said. "The Fnipinos have guns AID
win shoot us down like dogs"
Follow me, then. ye cowards!" she
cried.
She seized a club and a stone. Her
spirit inspired a short period of de-
spairing reckless daring among the Of
fcers and men around her. in an in
slant there was riot. The Filipino
guards yelled "Haltoi" and in vain
raised their rifles threateningly. The
foremost received a thwack from the
stick in Sonora Gamundi's hands and
he dropped his gun and fed for his life.
This was all that was necessary to
start the movement. Let a Filipino be
come panic stricken and run and his
comrades will quickly follow Guns

picked up by the spaniards. A gen
eral alarm was sounded throughout
Malrar's camp.
The Spanish are escapingi was the
cry.

for 81, 900 which had been put into Math-
ewson's care and which had been given
Mowry by man named Webb, whom

cdent similar to the one that took place
in Marseilles occurred on the arrival
of the student procession at the Hotel

We're thrown down. The students in
censed at the insult wished to attack a
shipping office which is on the street
level, but the police interfered, pointing
out that the shippers had no connection
with the people above them. Ultimate
ly the shippers We're persuaded by the
police to close the office in order to
avert further incidents.
A delegation of four students entered
the hotel and presented a bouquet to
Mr.. Kruger, who, accompanied by them
appeared on the balcony, arousing great
enthusiasm among the students, who
now numbered 1000 A considerable
body of the students stationed them
selves below the window from which
the money had been thrown singing
anti-English songs and shouting down
with the English" No disturbance,
however, occurred.

called this afternoon to the statement
attributed to Samuel Pearson, former

ALLEGED PLOrAGAINST M'KINLEY
The Government Has No Information
On the Subject.


Washington, Nov. 27-Chief Wilkie
of the secret service said this afternoon
regarding the report of a plot to kin
the president that the government had
no information, whatever, on the sub
ject.
New York, Nov. 27.-The police of
HobOken have received a letter aleg-
ing the existence of a plot to assassin
ate President Mckinley. The writer of
the letter gave in his communication
the name of the alleged chief con-
spirator which the police refused to
make public at this time The letter,
which is illegibly signed, is as follows:
''Sir-Having almost thoroughly as
sured myself of an anarchist plot
against his eXcellency, Mckinley, con-
slider it my duty to advise you of the
name of one who is more than suspect
ed of being a leader, whose name is
found in the inclosed slip He is a
fugitive from justice, and dangerous
man, having been convicted several
times, and on the last occasion being
sentenced to five years imprisonment
for an anarchist attempt
MY statement can be verified on ap-
plying to the prefect of police at Paris,
France. In the course of the past year
he had connected with him a man
named Francois, the author of an an
archist attempt at Scranton, where he
mortally wounded an agent of police"
The writer Of this letter, the police
say, has been located and his story will
be investigated.

FEAR SIGNAL FOR UPRISING.
Anti British Feeling in Cape Colony
Assumes Dangerous Proportions.

London, Nov. 2s.-The Daily Mail
publishes this morning the following
alarmist dispatch from Cape Town:
"The anti British feeling in Cape Col
ony is assuming dangerous proportions
owing to false stories spread of British
barbarity in Orange River colony and
the Transvaal. Loyalists fear that the
Dutch congress next week will be the
signal for arising and they demand that
martial law be proclaimed throughout
the coloney.
THE situation is declared to be grav-
er than at any previous period during
the war;
Referring editorially to its Cape
Town advices, the Daily Mail adopts a
most serious tone, asserting that the
anti-British movement is accentuated
by the withdrawal of troops from Cape
Colony and calling for vigorous action
by the British government.

HER COLLAR SAVED Her LIFE
Il MURDEROUS ASSA ULT UPON MRS.
HENRY DONOVAN.

num-Ihc AFFAIR occurred RIohuhy
Night Both WIN Probably Recover
Ixerrignn Arrested Yesterday After-
noon and Taken TO the Hospital.
Charles C. Kerrigan, a young man
twenty-five years of age, who resides
on Hallock street, was arrested yester-
day afternoon by Detective Frey of the
Dixwell avenue precinct and a charge
of assault with intent to kill was lodg-
ed against him. Later, however, the
charge was modified to breach of the
peace, pending a further investigation
into the case.
Kerrigan is charged with having
made a murderous assault with a razor
Monday night on Mrs. Henry Donovan
of 1SS Hazel street, wife of eX-Alder-
man Henry Donovan Of the Ninth
ward. 1t seems that Monday night,
while Mrs. Donovan was entertaining
some neighbors and relatives Kerrigan
whom she had known for a long time,
entered the house and walking up to her
drew a razor and slashed her across the
throat. Mrs. Donovan was at the time
wearing a rather high collar and it is
probably this which saved her life. AS
it was the razor after cutting through
the collar made an ugly cash in her
throat. DR.. Kirby was called to attend
her and he found that the wound,
while bad one, was not of a nature
to be likely to result seriously. She
was, however, very much upset by the
and was confined to her bed
yesterday.
Although the affair occurred Mon
day night no complaint was made to
the police until yesterday afternoon,
when eX-Alderman Donovan appeared
at the Dixwell avenue police station,
entered complaint, and turned over to
the police a razor with which he said
that the cutting was done. He was not
at home when the affair occurred
Kerrigan is bartender and is en-
ployed at Henchy's saloon at the cor
ner of Cedar street and Congress ave-
nue.. After be had slashed Mrs. Dono-
vans throat he attempted TO take his
own life by cutting his throat and tax
ing laudanum. He arrived at his home
on Hallock street about 1915 Monday
night and his relatives, with whom he
lives there, saw that he appeared i'll
and discovered that his throat was cut.
DR.. Butler was called and found a long
cash in his throat. The cut was about
five inches long and went so deep that
the trachia was cut. 1t is thought that
he will recover. He was arrested at
his home shortly after O'Clock last
evening and was then removed to the
New Haven hospital
Nothing definite is known of the
causes of Kerrigan's act. 1t is said
that he and Mrs. Donovan have been
very close friends for three or four
years and it is thought that his attempt
at her life and to commit suicide was
the result of quarrel which they may
have had. Nothing definite could be
learned from friends of the two last
