SURPRISED BY REBELS
AMERICANS AND MACABEBE SCOUTS
ATTACKED NEAR SLANG.
Three Killed, Two Wounded and One
Missing-TrOubIe i'm the Police
Force of Manila.

MANILA, March ga wagon train and
a detachment of the signal corps. together
with six Macabebe scouts. were attacked
by the insurgents about midway between
the towns of Slang and Las Marinas, in
Cavite province Three Americans were
killed and two of the. Macabebe scouts
were wounded, while one man is missing.
Four horses and one mule were killed.
Captain Mair, with detachments of infan-
try and cavalry from Slang. arrived at the
scene of the surprise too late to intercept
the enemys retreat.
1t is persistently rumored that Colonel
Wilder chief of the Manila police, Captain
Gaines. in charge of the Manila secret
service, and Lieutenant Gillespie will be
ordered to rejoin their regiments. No or
Gers TO this effect have yet been issued
General Davis, provost marshal of Manila
denies having recommended these changes
The officers themselves assert the stories
are circulated by persons interested In
trading with the insurgents. 1t is charged
IN certain quarters that the police are over
jealous in making arrests OF alleged insur-
gents under General MacArthur's procla-
nation.
No notification has been given concerning
the trial of Carman. Carranza and others
who were arrested by the police on charges
of dealing with the Insurgents. and the
police have been ordered to refer all cases
In which they shall probably obtain evi-
dence 10 the provost marshal general for
report TO the military governor for investi-
cation before making arrests.
The commission has decided to double
the appropriation OF sl.OC0.6oe for the i'm
provement OF Manila harbor and IL has
passed bill accepting the transfer of the
Manila public library.

RICHARD CROKER ANGRY
SAYS HE is THE VICTIM OF A VEL
Low JOURNAL "FAKER.v
Who Worked on n Bo-
HOunded Out of journalism.

LONDON. March 5.-Richard Croker has
seldom expressed his Indignation at unau-
thorized newspaper interviews in such
strong terms as he used to-day, when
shown a copy of New York newspaper of
Feb. Is, containing an alleged exclusive
statement of his views regarding New
York politics.
You know how frequently / have de-
clined to talk on current events in New
York." said Mr.. Croker, this morning,
land to find myself committed in the COL
umns of any paper regarding matters I
never have mentioned to a person is enough
to exasperate any one. Not single line of
the entire interview has q foot TO stand on.
1t is tissue of lies from beginning to end.
The newspaper has been frightfully i'm
posed on by some one. and that person
propose to discover and whip out of jour-
nalism. If he is prepared TO perjure HIM
self / am ready TO declare that 1 was no.
where near Vantage on the day he is al
legged to have seen me. Absolute proof of
the wholesale falsehood is the allegation
that l made a declaration announcing the
forthcoming majorities in New York
don't think 1 have ever been accused of be-
ing such a fool as that. The statement that
1 have bought lis acres of property here is
equally untrue as my alleged statements
regarding Devery, Coler and others.
LAS 1 have frequently said. when de-
cided to talk American politics. 1 would
talk to the Associated Press alone. and no
one can draw me by any subterfuge IL
has come to such pass that / am unable
to talk with reporters except I'm the pres
ence of witnesses. All kinds of fiends have
been photographing my place, dogs. stables.
etc, using the pictures TO give a semblance
of truth to their libelous statements.
ST ask the Associated Press to say to my
friends in New York that / am constantly
improving in health, and believe my
strength will gain faster here than in
America the next few months. / am not
talking politics TO any one and sensational
reports to the contrary may be set down as
a fake 1 am only talking now because in
dignation compels me to set myself right
with my friends in New York"

contributed, he declared: '"rhis proposed
rule is offered as a means OF revenge"
Mr. Platt, interrupting him. said: IL will
say TO the senator that l was not in favor
of the passage of the river and harbor
measure"
Mr. Wellington replied that he was de-
lighted TO know that he (Mr. Plato was not
i'm the conspiracy TO secure the enactment
Of the bill He declared that while he was
arguing against it in accordance with his
right as a senator he was threatened, un-
less he ceased his opposition. that a cloture
rule would be presented and its adoption
insisted upon. II desire to say" said he.
that l bow to no party and to no man
when my conscience tells me that a meas
ure is wrong
Mr. Wellington was proceeding to say
that the proposition was peculiar" when
he was interrupted by Mr.. Mason with the
comment: 1T is peculiar because this is
peculiar body" LLaughter.l At times.
added Mr.. Mason, he himself had been
guilty of utilizing the rules of the Senate
against a measure because he had learned
rapidly from the older senator's in the
chamber. Some of them, he said, upon a
measure to which they were opposed would
set their mouths going and go off and
leave them for nearly a week at a time
without the slightest intellectual effort
whatever"
The regular order was demanded, there
being nothing before the Senate. After
Mr.. Morgan had offered a resolution declar-
ing the Clayton-Bulwer treaty between the
United States and Great Britain abrogated,
the Senate. at 1905, on motion of Mr. Hoar,
went into executive session, and, at 145 o.
m., adjourned

CUBANS MUST ACCEPT.


WASHINGTON, March 5.-No credence is
given here in official circles to the report
from Havana that General Wood has in
formed members of the Cuban constitu-
tional convention that the declaration of
Congress as contained In the Platt amend
ment to the army bill is merely a basis
for further negotiations as TO the relations
between the United States and Cuba and
that the rejection of the amendment by the
convention would be followed by the re-
convening of the American Congress in
special session There is authority for the
statement that the remarks attributed to
General Wood are contrary to the view of
the matter held by the principal officers of
the administration. Briefly stated the ex-
pectation in Washington Is that the Cuban
convention will accept the conditions laid
down by the American Congress eventually
ii not in the immediate future and that
the Cuban delegates will be given to under
stand that the action OF Congress was final.
having beeE taken after thorough consid-
Grafton OF the subject, and that such action
Is not likely TO be modified or amended by
that body even II called together again
expressly for that purpose. except I'm the
event OF developments of radical and un-
looked for change in the situation AS one
official expressed IL. the action of Congress
on the Cuban question was taken with the
view OF obvlating an extra session Of Con-
gress as well as to acquaint the Cuban
constitutional convention with what was
expected of II. He said that the decara-
ton OF Congress will stand until the con-
vention Is ready 10 act in accordance there
with. otherwise the existing military gov
ernment will continue In power at least
until December next. when Congress reas-
sembles i'm regular session and the Cuban
question can be again taken up for such
legislation as may seem to be necessary.

Alabama, late chief justice of Samoa. is TO
be appointed q commissioner TO adjust the
claims OF American citizens rising out OF
the war with Spain. Mr.. Chambers. al
though appointed originally as Democrat
TO his Office in Samoa. conducted himself in
the trying last days OF the tripartite gov
eminent with such stalwart Americanism
as to earn the admiration Of the authorities
here. His REIMBURSEMENT of the Office o.
chief justice was made necessary by the
understanding reached by the three powers
that a complete change should be made In
the officials in Samoa. The officials OF
England and Germany so removed were
promptly supplied with other and better
positions by their own governments. but
Mr.. Chambers has not until this time found
anything within his aspirations and de-
sires. He was a gold man I'm the last cam
