Manila, Nov. GA plot to massacre
the American garrison at Moncada, prov
ince of Tarlac, Island Of Luzon, has been
revealed by the wife of one of the con-
spirators. Several town officials are inn

which the leaders of the conspiracy were
meeting. Arrests followed and many
incriminating papers were seized.
The plan was to set fire to house
close to the barracks, after dark, and
when the soldiers came out to assist in
extinguishing the flames, $50 conspira-
tors, armed with bolos, were to rush on
the guard, capture their arms and pro-
ceed to massacre the garrison.

DEATH RATE ENORMOUS.
London Daily News Reviews Concentrate
Camps in South Africa.

London, Nov. 10.-The Daily News
yesterday exhaustively surveyed the con-
centration camps in South Africa with
the following conclusion:
"The truth is that the death rate in
the camps is incomparably worse than
anything Africa or Asia can show. There
is nothing to match it even in the NOR
tality figures of the Indian famines,
where cholera and other epidemics have
to be contended with"
Statistics are produced in proof of this
assertion.
The governments advertisements for
teachers for the camp children, setting
forth "that the term Of employment will
be one year." is prominently displayed
as evidence thai the authorities have no
intention of impeding "the wholesale
destruction of human 1ife."
The Daily News urges all humane men
not to wait for official reports, but to in
sist ION the camps being broken up and
the people distributed among their
friends or removed to districts where a
fresh attempt can be made under compe-
tent organization and with some regard
80 the preservation of life-that or the
determination and eternal stain on the
name of England"

Mitchell, Supreme Captain Paul Pferd-
ner and T. B. McDevitt, of the Order OF
Washington. have answered charges
made by John r. Parker, president OF

dence in the head officers was expressed

BOARD OF OFFICERS.
Long win Appoint One to Pass on Puget
Sound Navy Yard Plans.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE navy de-
partment has decided to appoint board
of officers, including several engineers of
ability, to visit Puget Sound navy yard
for the purpose of devising comprehen-
sive plan for the location of buildings,
docks and other accessories of the naval
establishment on Puget Sound. Some
time ago Capt. Burwell, commandant of
the yard, submitted to the department.
a, plan arranged by himself and principal
officers at the navy yard for location OF
works in connection with the naval plant.
No action has been taken on this plan,
but the action which the department
now contemplates is the outcome of Capt.
Burwell's representations.
It is recognized at the department. that
the importance of the Puget Sound navy
yard has exceeded the expectations OF
the authorities at the time the site was
selected, and that some more compre-
hensive arrangement of the plant with q
view to future needs Is absolutely neces-
sary. Several bureau chiefs of the navy
department recognize that q larger site
will be needed, and the board soon to be
appointed will be expected to examine
into the needs of extending the bounds
of the yard and to make recommends
ton as to the direction and extent OF the
enlargement.

RAILROAD WAR AT REPUBLIC.
Great Northern and Kettle River Roads are
Fighting for Track Room.

& Republic, Nov. 9.-There is a serious
conflict on at this place between the
Great Northern railroad and the Grand
Forks & Kettle River road. Along a
narrow canyon north of Republic,
bounded on each side by some of the
best mines of this camp, each of these
roads is trying to build its lines and the
spurs necessary to reach the ore bins of
the numerous mines along each side of
Eureka gulch. AS there is not more
that 200 feet in width, and each road
wants from two to three lines, the avail
able ground is more than all used up,
and at several points the roads as now
being graded would lap or cross each
other.
Two large gangs are at work and are
SO mixed up that no one can tell 70
which road the laborers belong. An
attempt was made to get out injunction
papers by the Great Northern, but the
county Judge was away and as the court
commissioner for this county was across
the British line, on important business,
it was impossible to secure the needed
papers. Many threats have been made
and it is not thought best by some of
the foremen of The gangs to too closely
encroach on the men there first in the
morning.
A blanket of two inches of snow some
what dampened the ardor of all con-
cerned and noaltercationsh have occurred,
but the wires have been kept hot, and
quite number of railroad men of prom
inence have suddenly reached this place,
where many mystrious councils are held.
What the result will be few outside of
railroad circles can guess, but it is gen.
orally thought that Mr.. Hill is not an
easy man to bluff, and is likely to hold
his own in any matter of railroad conflict
of this kind.

Shooting Il Chlse Messdsth.
Seattle, Nov. 10.-To prove that Will
lam 1. Meredith was helpless, dased and
robbed Of reasoning and motive power
Dy the blows rained upon his head by
Tom Considine when John Considine
nred his first and two succeeding shots,
IL the task to which the prosecution has
set itself in the later stages of the MUIR
der trial which has been in progress since
last Monday. The purpose has been in
dicated from the outset of the trial. in
the opening address of Prosecuting At
terney Fulton and from the very first of
the testimony. All witnesses for the stae
nave been Intercepted as to interval be-
tween the second discharge of Meredith's
shotgun and the first shot fired by John
Considine. The testimony ON the point
has been varying, the differences Of wit
nesses being apparently attributable to
the varying degrees of excitement under
which they labored, and the opportuni-
ties they had for observation. The inter-
val has been fixed at from an infinites-
SINAI moment to a possible ten minutes.
Sheriff Edward Cudihee, on run, can
make the distance from in front of the
police patyol wagon house to Guys drug
store in % seconds. He developed this
speed through the mud and after dark
Thursday evening and testified to that
effect at the trial yesterday. On the day
of the shooting of Meredith Sheriff Cud-
ihee was standing at the patrol station
on Third avenue, near Yesler way, when
he heard q report as of firearms from the
direction of Guys. The distance from
where he stood is approximately 12O
yards. On hearing a second and similar
report Mr.. Cudihee started toward Guys
at his best speed. He found the entrance
to the place jammed with people and had
to force his way through.
Arriving within he saw Tom Considine
with revolver raised above his head
apparently about to strike someone
As the sheriff pushed toward him the
blow fell. Cudihee then saw that it fell
upon the head of Meredith, who was
with someone, at the time
by Cudihee. The sheriff
made for Tom, pulled him to one side
and took the pistol away from him.
As his back was turned to Meredith and
the other contestant, Cudihee heard
shot; turning quickly he saw Meredith
reeling backward as John Considine,
pressing nearer him, fred second shot.
John Considine fired third shot into
Meredith just as the ex-chief of police
was falling to the floor.
The evidence for the state is now prac-
ically completed.

Republicans Make LsrSe Gains On Sests Ticket
and Increase Legislative Malesity.
Columbus, o., Nov. 6.-The Republic
ans today carried Ohio by such increased
plurality on their ticket and with such
an enlarged majority in the legislature
as to cause all sorts OF comment on "what
did it?" The result continues the Re-
publicans in power in the state, making
an epoch of twelve years in succession
for that party in Ohio, and it insures the
reelection OF Senator Foraker.
The extent Of the Republican success 10
attributed to the Silver Republicans not
voting; to the attitude of John II. Nc
Lean. the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor two years ago ana the Ohio menu
Der of the National Democratic Commit
tee; to the superior organisation Of the
Republicans and other causes. Repub-
licans attribute the result largely TO the
popular desire not to disturb the prevail
ing prosperity, in accordance with Sena-
tor Hanna's appeal TO "iet well enough
alone:" to the desire to support Presi-
dent Roosevelt in carrying out the policy
of the late President Mckinley, and to
indorse Gov. Nash and Senator Foraker.

The Chicago Judge Issues Another Injunction
Against Organized Labor.

Against OrSanzeo LABOR.
Chicago, Nov. 11.-Judge Kohlsaat, in
the United States circuit court, has
ssued an injunction against the Custom
Clothing Makers Union, and its officers
and members, restraining them from in
any way attempting to injure or inter-
fere with the business of Cincinnati
clothing firm. The firm asked that the
union be restrained from issuing circu-
lars stating that the concern was unfair
to organized labor.
The order forbids the officers OF the
union to notify by means of letters,
telegraph or telephone any dealers in
clothing or labor unions that the COM
pany has to allow its employees to organ
ize or adopt the union label. The in
junction, labor leaders say, is the first
of the kind issued, as it is directed
against the boycott instead of picketing.
