AGUINALDOS SUCCESSOR
WILL SURRENDER HIS ARMY

Manila, June 1I.-Colonels Infant
and Guivara, representatives of Gen
eral Cables. yesterday signed the
name of Their principal to an agree
ment to surrender. Under the terms
of this agreement General Cables is TO
assemble his men at Santa Cruz, La
guns province, as quickly as possible,
and there surrender himself and Lis
command to the American authorities.
The exact number of his force is un-
certain. but there will probably be
more than 500.
For more than a year past General
Cables has commanded the insurgent
forces operating on the east side of
Bay lake. north of Manila. He is said
to be n French half-caste, and during
the last revolution he has acquired n
reputation for vindictiveness and
cruelty.

practice it was to asSassinate and
bury alive those of their countrymen
who accepted American sovereignty
whenever the latter fell into their
hands, operated with the cognizance,

New York, June 15-The wooden
side-wheeler Mortified, which has
been in the service of the Staten ISL
and Ferry Company for the past thir-
ty-eight years, was rammed last plight
by the steel hulled propeller Mauch
Chunk, used as n ferry boat by the
Central Railroad of New Jersey. The
collision occurred just off the Staten
Island ferry slip Mt the foot Of White
hall street, and in less than twenty
minutes afterward the Northfield,
which was crowded with passengers,
sank at the outer end of the Spanish
line pier, in the East river.
The Mauch Chunk, which was badly
damaged, landed two dozen passen-
gers who were aboard of her. Over
100 OF the passengers of the sunken
Mortified were dragged out of the wa
ter by people alongside shore and the
crews of the fleet of river tugs, which
promptly responded to the ferry boats
call for help. A few Of the North
fields passengers We're hurt in the ac-
cident and the police believe hat some
lives We're lost.
Captain Daniel Gully of the tugboat
Mutual, who saw the ferry boats crash
together, says that Immediately after
the collision between twenty-five and
thirty of the passengers leaped into the
water and that many of those per
ished. Captain Gully also declared that
he is sure that over 100 of the North
fields passengers We're drowned. The
captains of other tugboats who were
early on the scene, are inclined, how
ever, to think that the disaster was not
SO serious as regards loss of life. Thus
far no dead bodies have been recov-
cred.
The reason for such difference of
opinion as to the extent of the disaster
Is that the widest excitement pre-.
vailed on the Mortified. The tug Mu'
tual saved in all about se~venty-fiye per
sons from the Mortified and the tugs
Unity and Arrow saved between them
$50 persons. Two policemen of the
Old Slip station claim to ave rescued
nearly thirty people between them. AS
soon as the crowd which had followed
the sinking ferry boat along the river
front were able to render any aid they
worked with a will, and in many in
stances men sprang into the water to
save life. The greatest service was
rendered by the tug boats, which cir,
cled around the Mortified and made
n bridge to the Spanish line pier. Men
and women clambered over the tugs to
the shore.
The swift running flood tide and the
question of which boat had the right

GREAT WESTERN RAILROAD
COMBINATION PERFEC1p

Chicago. June 1T.-That the Harri-
man combine has secured control of
the Chicago, Milwaukee e st. Paul,
and that a composite agreement has
been made to Perfect a community of
interests among roads with tracks
enough TO twice belt the globe, Is gen
orally accepted in railroad circles. The
sudden departure of Mr.. Hartman for
the East, accompanied by John NJ.
Mitchell of the Illinois Trust and Saw
ings bank, was announced in support
of the statement that Mr.. Mitchell
n other bankers would furnish the
funds for the completion of the Mil
waukee and st. Paul transfer.
The meeting of the western officials
with Hartman is believed to have
been the result of the recent contro-
versy over the control of Northern Pa
cific stock, which drove short holders
to cover at $1,000 a share. A few
small roads out of Chicago are not
parties to the agreement, but 1t is I'M
derstood that they will consent to any
thing that will maintain rates and end
the %squabble that has been kept NJ in
the past among the various western
lines.
IL was asserted tonight that all the
roads west, northwest and southwest
from Chicago TO the Pacific coast will
be controlled in future by the follow
ing interests:

in University Park. The end had been
expected for several weeks. Ever
since his last illness, which commenced
the latter part of last April, the sturdy
mountaiHeer had been steadily failing,
being unable TO partake Of solid food.
The cause of death was shock from
paralysis, but for weeks his sturdy con-
%stitution fought successfully against
the ravages of diseases and the weak
ness of old age, for he wasjust eighty
nine years and three months old yes
terday. Up to half an hour before
death came he was conscious and
though not strong enough to talk he
could answer all questions by n nod
of his head. Gathered about the death
bed We're his daughter, Mrs. Streeter,
and her husband, Samuel Dyer of Grip
pie Creek. Father" Dyer's son, and n
number Of friends.
Rev. John l.. Dyer was the pioneer
preacher and missionary of the Rocky
mountain regions.
