London, April 11.-At a secret meet
ing of the Filipino Junta held here today
thirty-fiye representative Filipinos from
Madrid, Barcelona, Paris and Brussels
being present. there was read a telegram
from the Singapore Junta which said that
General Macarthur was preparing to tor
ture Aginaldo unless Aguinaldo took the
oath of allegiance to the United States
and signed the peace proclamation. The
Singapore Junta urged those present al
this London meeting to formulate a cir
cular of protest directed to the European
courts. 1t described in detail the engines
of torture that were being erected by
the Americans at the Malacanan Palace
at Manila.
The meeting adjourned pending the re-

cape From Serious Injury.

The ball players from the University
of North Carolina went up against the
Raleigh ball team yesterday afternoon.
and for two innings it looked as if the
while and blue of the visitors was to
oat victorious in the breeze, the score
at the beginning of the third inning
standing five for the collegians and
nothing for the Senators"
But the third INNING did the business
for Chapel Hill, and Kelly capered
around as if he had balloons tied to him
when his team piled up seven runs in
that inning and goose egged the other
fellows Cunningham, who had done
swift work in the box for the Univer-
sity fer two innings, was batted at will,
and eight clean hits were made off him,
and his, with some costly errors put
the collegians in the refrigerator, and
they never got out Of it, the score at
the close of the game being eleven for
Raleigh and six for the University.
1t was not great game viewed from
a professional standpoint, but it was
a close game at times, full of "go" and
interest The team from Chapel Hill
were gritty and foughth the Raleigh
team to the finish, never laying down
till the twenty-seventh man was out.
The game developed one fact thor
oughly, and this was that Raleigh is
weak in the pitching line Manager
Kelly recognizes this and is making the
wires hot and licking postage stamps
vigorously in order to strengthen the
team in the box. Phil Meade, the ne"
short stop, who played his first game
on the Raleigh team, fumbled the ball
some in the early part of the game,
but livened up to his work later on.
The crowd at the fair grounds was a
good-sized one, numbering perhaps BOD
people, and they enjoyed the game, no
one leaving till the ninth inning was
over
What appeared at first to be serious
accident occurred at the close of the
first half of the eighth inning Person
had the stick and sent up high foul,
the ball twisting over towards the
bleachers to the left of catcher Graves.
Of the University Graves made what
seemed an impossible run for it, but had
it square and fast in his hands as he;
He fell over as if he had been shot and
his body quivered in agony. Water was
poured over his head and after time
he was taken to the players bench.
Though suffering last night he is all
right.
Stanley of the home team. did the
home run business in great style, AM
was cheered for his good work, ana
s for his sprinting For the visitors Cooke
and Smathers each lined out two bag
gers.
The umpiring of Mr.. Sherwood Up-
church was admirably done, and there
was but little kicking" done.
In the eighth inning the visitors took
Cunningham out of the box and sub
stituted Harrington, and when Graves
was injured Cunningham took his place
at the bat
The score by innings was:
