shore lands when the Bacolodians op-
posed his advncae and provoked the

tackled their stronghold, first shelline
them and rushing his troops forward,

deep moat and entering the fort, the
Americans engaged the Moros, bay
opets against krisses. A hundred OF
the defenders were killed, including
the Datto Panandungan, and many were
wounded. Only three Americans

A Fire in the Graded School
Frightsns the Two Hundred
Children.

Lancaster. April 1.-ConsiderabIe
excitement was caused here yesterday
by FIRE in the Kibler House, large
two-story frame building, which is
being used by the graded school while
the new school house is being built.
Owing to its timely discovery but
little or no damages was Done by tie
fire, which started in a closest under
the stairway leading to the second
story.
There was quite panic. however,
among the pupils-over 200 in num-
ber-and several of them narrowly es-
capped serous injury in the rush to get
out of the building.
The generally accepted theory is
that the fire was cf incendiary origin,
and that possibly one of the pupils is
the guilty party. The matter is to be
thoroughly investigated by the board
of trustees

CARLISLE INDIAN TEAMS
VERY DECISIVE VICTORY
Defeated in Most
Spectacular Game Played
on the Coast.
REDSKINS TRICK PLAYS

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 25.-Superior
team work and an abundance of tricky
plays, coupled with more thorough train
ing. gave the Carlisle Indian football team
n decisive victory over the All-California
eleven this afternoon in one of the most
spectacular games ever played on the coast.
The score was % to o.
Ideal weather conditions prevailed and
the field was in splendid condition for
snappy playing.
Captain Johnson of the visiting eleven
lived up to his reputation as being one of
the greatest quarter backs and football
generals in the country and the star ag-
gregation of the coast players were no
match for his well-drilled men.
The attendance was about 1000. The
craftsmanship was equally divided at the
outset, but at the conclusion of the game
the admiration for the redskins grew so
intense that Captain Johnson was carried
aloft on the shoulders of the throng, after
several women had become so enthusiastic
as to embrace him.
During the first few minutes of play the
All-Californians swept the Indians before
them and for few moments Ii looked as
though the home team would have walk
over But the ball soon moved to the Cali
fornians territory as soon as the Indians
resorted to trick plays. after having found
that they could not successfully buck the
line of a team that weighed twenty pounds
heavier to the man.
Captain johnson made the first touch
down about the middle of the first half,
but failed to kick goal The stiffness
of the Indians puzzled the California men
greatly and they were utterly unable to
figure the generalship of the redskins
captain. Between Johnson and Williams,
the Carlisle full back, the local men were
kept guessing.
During the second half the Carlisle men
resumed their shifty tactics and made hun
dreds of yards on clever football Johnson
took the ball for most of the trick plays
and kicked every goal in the last half The
California men rallied near the close of the
game and spent their force in fierce bucks
against the Carlisle line.
This line of action soon tired the Califor-
mans and they were unable to score, al
though within fifteen yards of the Carlisle
goal posts.

WAR IS IMPOSSIBLE
OYER BALL PLAYERS
Hermann Explains Nationals
Position i'll Regard to Davis
and Jones.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 25.-President Herr
mann of the Cincinnati club talked at length
on the baseball situation and on the rumors
of a probable baseball war. He said:
There is no reason whatever for all the
talk that has been going the rounds of late
about prospective war between the National
and American leagues. Neither organiza-
ton is looking for fight and neither wants
it. The relations between the National and
the American are as amicable as they can
be, and there is no reason why the peaceful
relations that now exist should not continue.
1.-The effort to make war capital out of
the George Davis and Fielder Jones cases
is far-fetched proposition. The National
league does not claim these players for the
New York club. Both were assigned to the
Chicago Americans by the peace committee,
and the National commission nor the Ma
tional League cannot alter that assignment.
The committee appointed by the National
League to adjust the Davis and Jones cases
has power only to see that the New York
National League club loses nothing by the
action of the National League in allowing
the claims of the Chicago club to these men.
Both have personal contracts with New
York. to which they may hold Mr.. Brush.
If they do, il is only fair that all the
National League clubs should pay their pro
rata of the salaries that the New York
club will have to pay the men, as the entire
league Is responsible for any trouble, so far
as salaries are concerned, that Mr.. Brush
will have with Jones and Davis.
Neither man can be awarded to the New
York National League club by the national
commission or any other baseball tribunal
and unless they are traded elsewhere they
will have to play with the Chicago Ameri-
cans or go to the outlaw league. No, sir
no one wants a baseball war, and at this
time there are no indications of one"
