WOOD STREET PEOPLE ANGRY.
Up in Arms to Take the Law in Their
 Own Hands.

Own Hands.
 repetition of the assault that took place on little girl in the vicinity of wood and Putnam street last summer was attempted Sunday afternoon by man whom the residents of that neigh borhood are on the lookout for. The at tempted assault took place about 3:3O o'clock. and about , o'clock parties of men were scattered all over the neigh horh0od looking for the miScreant and had he been captured all respect for law and order would have been thrown to the winds and bad work followed. The description of the man is inscribed in the memory of all who heard the story of the fellows intended victim. and it will go hard with him if he is ever caught. But for the appearance of John Newell. the well known poli- tician of the first ward, the attempted assault would have been successful.
 About 3 o'clock in the afternoon of last sunday a little girl whose name is withheld for obvious reasons was going down Putnam street to meet another little girl. When she had reached q part that is still without the indica- tlOnS of the presence of the builder she claims to have been accosted by q man who asked her if she had been given all the Christmas presents and if she
 
 the only reply that could be expected from one of her age, that she would like more Christmas presents. Then the stranger thereupOn invited her to ! follow him and he would give her all she could carry home. The child fol . lowed and they walked for some dis l tance. the man in the lead. Then it l is claimed they sat down and the fel- 1 low was beginning to take liberties with her when another little girl was seen approaching. The first one re- scented the mans approaches and he tried to overcome her objections by promises of sweet things. candies. and so on. The mans manner alarmed her and she flew away. The man fol- l lowed. but the approaching of the | other little girl had more effect on his | actions than the screams of the first one. and about that time Mir Newell | aDedred on the scene and the fellow fled. Mir Newell thinks that the fel- 1 low must have thought he heard the l little girls screams and was going to | her assistance. whereas he did not l know what was going on until some 1 time after, when the story became reighborhOod pronerty. The girls ! father. with Peter Field and son and Mir l Newell set out to find the stranger and 1 give him his desserts if they found | him. h this they were unsuccessful. ! and it was wcIl for the stranger that i thev were: but each of them has his ! description well engraved on his mind l and if they run across him he will be given reason to remember his visit to | Putnam and Wood streets.

BURNED BY FILIPINOS.
Cabatuan, in Panay, Nearly De
 Stroyed

Cabatuan, in Panay, Nearly De
 stroyed.
 MANILA, Dec. 1S.-Advices just re- ceived from Iloilo, island of Panay. say that the insurgents Saturday night burn ed large part of the village of Caba- tuau. Assistant Surgeon Frederick A. Washburn, Jr., of the Twenty-sixth vol unteer infantry, with IS men, held the principal buildings. 4 strong wind was blowing at the time. The Americans sustained no casualties.
 The first political party under the American regime is in process of fOrma- tion. Its principles have been embodied i'll a platform which will shortly be made public. It is understood that the dec larations of the platform give the fullest recognition to American sovereignty and also favor q considerable degree of Ia tive autonomy concerning internal and local affairs.
 Several of the most intelligent Filipino leaders who have been instrumental in bringing the matter to q head have been in conference with those interested. and the platform will be outlined to the Phil ippine commission by Senor Buencamino, former premier in the so called govern ment of Aguinaldo: Colonel Aquiies and Dr. Frank S. Bourne, an American. for mcrly chief surgeon with the rank of anu HeillA OIlCeT or A1Jnll1.
 Dr. Bourne was with Professor Dean C. Worcester prior to the American oc- cupation and has confidential relations with the Filipino leaders.
 The commissioners are not likely to give public expression of their views re- garding the formation of political par ties. but the principles of the new or ganization so far as made known seem to be favored by intelligent Filipin0s.
 Thirty rebels were captured in barrie. or suburb, of San Pedro AIacati four miles from Manila, by % men of the Twentieth United States infantry and 20 members of the native Manila police, all under Captain Gaines. assistant chief of police. The force landed from banca, surrounding the suburb and capturing 70. Only 50, however, were identified as in- surrectos.
 Later advices from Iloilo announce that detachments of the Twenty-sxth volun- teer infantry surprised the headquarters of Quintin Solar, capturing considerable quantities of stores and some valuable papers. Several natives were killed. The Americans, who had no loss. were still in pursuit of the fleeing insurgents when the dispatch left Ileilo.

 There is q mOVcmt mt on foot to give the police officers permission to wear ulsterS during the winter and whoever started it-some say it originated with the humane Society-deserves to be en- couraged, for ii looks like int1icting an unnecessary hardship upon an oft1- cer to compel him to wear the fegu- la1ion coat during the long winter nights when he might be wrapped up in a warm ulster which would Keep him snug and dry in all kinds of weather and would inc-cuse his et1l- ciency considerable. for if properly clad he would not care which way the wind blew and would not spend halr his time clinging to the sheltering slde of buildings trying to shun the blast. one of the most natural things in the world for him to do with the kind of winter overcoat he dOns at present The policemen wear big ulsters in Hartford and other places and there seems to be no good reason they should not have them here. provided they are willing to pay for them. The board of public safety should consider this matter and give the men pefmfs- sion to put on ulsters every night from December until April.

Ills Holiness Is Sad

Rome, July B.-Pope Leo has addressed a letter to the vicar cardinal, in the course of which he says the sorrowful events in China, besides filling his soul with sad
 ness on account of the spilling of so much Christian blood, inspires him with the deepest fear as to the situation of the apostolic vicars and the dangers to which Christians and missionaries are exposed in serious trials, as we'll as sacrifice of lives. His holiness, therefore, asks that all com- municants pray ardently that God will in spire thoughts of concord and peace and that He will end destruction and massacre.

JAPAN's QUICK WORK IN CHIN {

 The fact that Japan has landed good part of her 23, 900 men, 5000 horses, thirty six heavy mortars and 120 field guns. to- gether with pontoon and balloon sections, imperial engineers, and a full medical staff under fifty doctors, has undoubtedly had an effect upon the Chinese mind as we'll as European
 It is expected either Marshal Nodzu or Marshal Oyama will take command. The plan of campaign contemplates operations extending two or three years.
 A further force of 13.0O0 men will be landed at Taku a week hence, and 10000 additional soon afterward Before the rainy season is well advanced Japan hopes to have 63,000 troops in China.
 Japan prG.-auly better than any other nation concerned realizes that the task of putting lasting quietus on the Boxers is more than months outing and is making preparations accordingly. The truth is that Japan's plans of campaign contemplate a series of operations extending over period of two or three years, the Japanese com manders insisting that it is a general and widespread revolution which has to be ef- fectually crushed out and is not merely an outbreak on the part of a comparatively small body of malcontents like the Boxers

A splendid State Fair will be held in Bir- mingham next autumn.
 The Alabama Agricultural and Industrial Fair Company has been organized and in- corporated
 taken deep interest in the proposition for holding a fair, was asked by citizens to state terms and conditions whereby lease of the existing fair grounds and buildings in Smiths Park could be secured for term of years.
 Colonel Falkner, as representing the own CT of the six years lease of the property, submitted a proposition that in effetc a sub-lease issue, and that the company or organization acquiring such sub-lease shall pay to the owner of the lease half the profits remaining from the fairs after all legitimate expenses shall have been paid. The only other condition imposed is that fair shall be held in each of the six years covered by the lease, beginning with the coming autumn.
 Colonel Faikner's proposition has been accepted, and articles of incorporation are filed by a committee consisting of Mayor Walter Melville Drennen, former Mayor David J.

GENERAL WOOD
 IN WASH|NGTO TON Objects to Removal of Troops From Cuba-Department
 Thinks Differently

Washington, July 1S.-Governor-General Wood of Cuba, reached the War Depart ment at 9:30 o'clock this morning and went immediately into Secretary Roots office He said he knew very little about condl- tions in China or the reason for his having been called to Washington.
 In response to a question as to whether he could spare more troops from Cuba, General Wood replied he was not prepared to say anything until he had discussed the matter with Secretary Root.
 General Wood spent three hours with the secretary of war. The Cuban situa- tion was gone over thoroughly. General Wood reiterated his opinion that 1t would be very undesirable to withdraw more than three regiments now under orders to leave the islands. The removal of troops now under orders will reduce the American force in Cuba to little more than 5000 men, These General Wood considers es- sential to the welfare of the island till after the coming constitutional convention The date for this has not yet been fixed and about six weeks notice will have to be given, owing to the slowness of rural communication. The election of delegates to the convention probably will be over by the first of October The Cubans don [ want the American troops replaced by na- tive volunteers at this time because of the opening thus made for a military dictator ship. After the constitutional convention it may be possible to reduce the insular forces still further.
 It is understood that Secretary Root coin- cided with General Woods views after the situation had been fully explained, ana no further draft will be made on the Cuban forces at present.
 It was stated at the War Department this afternoon that the determination had been reached in spite of General Woods ex- pressed view on the subject of Cuban troops to withdraw another regiment from the island for service in China if need be. The regiment to be withdrawn has not yet been determined upon. but this will be de- cided in a short time. This will make four regiments withdrawn from Cuban service, and will decrease the force in the island to about 4,000 men.
