was arrested last evening by special
officer Robert Watson Of the 2. W.
& B. Railroad at Lamokin Station
for attempting to criminally assault
Mary, daughter Of James Dillon, who
is twelve years old. Michele is in the
lookup, and Officer Watson will swear
out warrant for his arrest this morn
ing, before Alderman Stockman.
The girls house is at No. go

Lamokn freight station, to which
place he was followed by party Of

SURRENDER OF CABLES

diers by stating Aguinaldo
Had Not Been Captured.

Manila, June 18.--Cailles, the insur.
gent general, has signed terms of sur.
render.
Cables is the notorious insurgent
leader in Laguna province, who has
been carrying on desperate resistance
to the American troops.
Cables recently notified General Sum.
guaranteed his men he would not en-
ter into any negotiations for surrender.
The rebel commander. however, has
become convinced that his cause Is
hopeless, and he has sent General Sum
ner a message stating that he has Or
dcrcd his Filipino followers 10 lay
down their arms.
Cables success in holding his soldiers
to an opposition Of the American forces
was due to misrepresentation. He
told his men that Aguinaldo had not
been captured and stated that the cap
t,lred chieftain's proclamation to the
I'ilipinos wherein surrender was ad-
vscd was an American trick.
A& huNhees
The surrender Of Cables to General
Sumner was directly due to a message
sent to the insurgcnt leader by Agui-
naldo in which the latter stated that if
Cables wished to preserve the lives Of
his men immediate compliance to the
American terms must take place. Agu-
naldo's message was taken to Cables
by Guevarra. an adjutant OIL the insur-
gents staff.
The capItuation of Cables marks the
cessation of the strongest opposition
that the Americans have encountered
since Agunnldo was taken by General
Funston.

Census Department Riot,

Washington, June l6.--The otfici-
ais in charge Of the twelfth census
are in a quandary over the hatpin
riot OF nearly 1900 women clerks
yesterday who protested against the
aifront Of being lined up in columns
of twos to receive their pay after Of
flee hours. Nothing like the angry
protest OF yesterday ever occurred in
Washington before.
The chief clerks, the dis bursting
clerk and all chiefs of divisions had
some premOnitionS of the storm but
they we're not prepared for the dra-
matte smashing and eStinguishing
of electric plants and lights, singing
Of detiart songs and PAROLES of
hymns and football PUSHES and
brushes as described by the Journal.
The officials will look into the
causes of the riot tomorrow. From
what is learned they arc determined
to enforce the new regulation. This
will compIcatc matters and there
will be further complications if it is
determined to punish the ringleadcis.
1t will be difficult to say who were
ringleaders in an outbGrst such as
that Of yesterday. II any of the etks
be dismissed there will be an appeal
to Congressman and that will bring
out discus sion of the cXpediency OF
making 1900 tired women wait IN
line for their pay while innumcrablc
babies or landlords, as the case may
lie are bowling at home TO know
what S the matter.
The genial director Of the census
will have to decide whether it is a
breach of regulations for a chorous Of
1900 female voices to sing dchantly
at the dis bursting clerk: "Wc won't
get home till morning. aud praise
Uncle sam from Whom All Blessings
Flow.
AS the director knows the temper
of the insurgents, it is probable that
II he has anything to say he will say
it to the angry women on at time
| aud that will take some time.

A Good Sermon.

Rev. J. r. Brown, pastor of Ezion
NJ. L. Church. preached sermon
to the official board Sunday at 10. 50
Il. M The board met in the lecture
room and marched in body to the
preaching service. The pastor se-
lected as his text LIST Cor. 10, l3:
Watch We, stand fast IN the faith,
quit you like men, be strong" He
said that the qualities necessary
for a good church officer are many.
First. he must be converted; the
principles Of christianity must be
firmly fixed IN his heart, and then
he must live an exemplary lite, so
that his influence for good would
extend outside of his own being
and communicate with others.
Then he must be steadtastly firm
in the right, not obstiD ate, but firm.
Business qualifications are very
important quality in good official;
he must have sound Judgment and
business tact, in administering the
affairs OF the church.
Watch, be strong. The pastor
said that a faithful picket never
sleeps on his post So the officials if
faithful must be on guard, ready to
detect danger, ready to respond to
duty. The church at Corinth was
split by factions and he urged the
officials to guard against these evils.
Luther, Latimer and Ridley were
held up as examples Of true manhood
and Miller and Franklin repre- sented
the earnest seekers after knowledge.
Our work of watching will soon be
over and then we will reap the re-
ward. The sermon was an able one
and encouraged all who heard it.
