Disturbance

A dispatch from Manila yesterday says:
The anti-friar demonstration which the mu-
nicipal government had been informed was
to be held here today proved to he unim-
portant The police forbade the holding of
a procession and the reserves were assem-
bled for the purpose Of maintaining order.
The leaders Of the movement conducted a
meeting in the Gorilla Theater but no dis
order occurred. At the conclusion OF the
meeting, which was not largely attended
owing to the storm which prevailed, the
crowd dispersed quietly.
The typhoon which prevailed over Gen.

MASQUERADED AS A MAN.
This Girl Also Played Cards, Drank
and Fought.

A special to the New York World from
Wheeling, w. Va, says: After masquerade
ing four months as Dave Kyle a delicately-
featured, foppish young man, pretty, eish-
tcen-year- old Mabel McElhaney is again at
tired in the habiiiments of her sex.
Born in Bradford, Pa, and left mother
less at thirteen, she was compelled to earn
her own livelihood, and after several eX-
periences donned boys clothes to enable her
to fight the worlds battle. The first per-
son she fooled was her uncle, whom she
met on the train. He took her for her
brother and inquired about the health of
Mabel. She felt no fear afterWard.
She worked in a Wheeling bar room as
a house painter and carried heavy metal
slabs in the Aetna Standard Steel Mill. 1t
was while running as a cabin boy on the
Ohio river steamer Ruth that her sex was
first suspected because of her refusal 10
sleep with another boy.
The girl smoked cigarettes and was an
adept in up-to-date slang. She flirted with
the girls and made love to. them. She
played poker at Bob Clarks place here, and
when the police raided it one night she es-
caped arrest by jumping from rear WIN
dow to the ground.
When a boy shot her in the foot July
4 she BACKED his eye and cut his neck in
the fight which followed. She also fought
the boy who took her place on the Ruth.
She admits that he bested her, but says
she was entitled to the decision
The girl is now at the home of Mrs O.
Boyce, wife of a prominent attorney, who
interested herself in the case. She admits
that she attended the Ellis Glen trial two
days in Parkersburg, but insists that her
only motive was to earn a livelihood She
cried when she was arrested, the only sign
Of weakness she has shown since she donned
male attire.

A dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
La Lucha recently published an article with
reference to an order in the Official Gazette,
signed by the secretary of public works,
granting leave to Senior Castaneda to begin
work on the construction of an electric
plant. The article implied that Senior Diaz
who is secretary of public works. had an
interest in the matter AS ne had not the
power to grant Castaneda leave to begin
work. Senior Diaz asked that La Lrcha be
proceeded against.
The same matter was dealt with by Gen.
Wood, who granted permit for the be-
ginning of the work. but subsequently just
before the Americans evacuated Cuba, re-
voked the order

WILMOTH'S MURDERER SHOT.
Two or Three Innocent Negroes Were
Killed Before.

A special to the New York World from
Elkins, w. Va, yesterday says:
The mob Of lynchers who have been kill
ing negroes at random for the purpose of
avenging the murder of Chief of Police
Wilmoth Of Elkins have at last succeeded
in getting the right man and killing him.
The mob lynched two other negroes and
MORALLY wounded a third before they
CHANGED upon the one they wanted. 1t was
a lucky thing the lynchers finally got the
real murderer. for they might have kept
on killing negroes on suspicion otherwise.
The lynching party came upon the muir
derer in the mountains fifteen miles south
west of Beverly last night. but they did
not get him until he had exhausted his
ammunition in the attempt to defend him
self. He held the lynchers at bay while
he fired fifty shots at them, none of which.
it is said, took effect. The man was wound
ed many times, but kept on firing until
he fell.
AS soon he was down the lynchers
filled his body full of bullets at close range.
While he was able to fight they were sat-
isfied with long-range shooting. After they
had shot the dead negro until his body was
riddled with bullets they strung him up to
a tree. On the dead mans clothing one
lyncher pinned placard bearing the in
scription:
1.-The days of the hated negroes are end
ed"
1t is asserted that the man they killed
confessed to another negro that he had
killed Wilmoth
All the blacks within a radius of ten
miles Of Womelsdorf have left, but re-
ports are received that they have selected
a rendezvous and are arming and pre-
pairing to retaliate upon the whites for
killing four Of their race. one OF whom adj
mittedly was innocent, and two Of whom
probably had nothing to do with the muir
der
The chances are that the negroes are
not arming for retaliation, but simply to
defend themselves II they are attacked
They are badly frightened and would fight
IL driven to do so, but they are not doing
any attacking themselves.
Now that it is all over Gov. A. B. White
has taken action and has directed the at
torney general to proceed to this place and
thoroughly investigate the lynchings and.
