BLOODY BATTLE
ON SAMAR ISLAND
THIRTY NATIVES KILLED AND
SIXTEEN coNsTAsULARY
KILLED OR HURT.
SETTLEMENT IS imminent
CONFERENCE ON MOROCCAN RE.
FORMS Is ABOUT THROUGH
ITS WORK.

Manila, March 27.-According to ad.
vices received to-day the recent fight
at Magtaon, Samar, between the con-
stabulary and Pulajanes was the re-
suit of treachery on the part of the
natives. Thirty Pulajanes were killed
and sixteen of the constabulary killed
and wounded.
A dispatch received from Capt.
Jones of the constabulary at Magtaon
says that on March % Gov. Curry,
Judge Lobinger and Superintendent
Of Schools Hoover arrived there and
camped over night near the Pulajanes.
The presence of the officials was made
known to the rebellions natives AID
their leader announced that
He Would Surrender
the next day. AS a result Of this
promise the Americans returned TO
the town of Magtaon, accompanied by
Col. Aguilar, another Pulajane chief.
The next day, Saturday morning,
four chiefs of the Pulajanes with over
100 men and fourteen guns, appeared
at Magtaon and lined up in front of
the constabulary barracks. Between
the barracks and the Pulajanes stood
the group of American officials.
One of the chiefs expressed a wish
that his party be photographed in the
act of surrendering, and Supt. Hoover
was adjusting his camera when the
Pulajanes' leader blew a whistle and
Gave Orders to Advance.
The entire party of natives thereupon
rushed upon the American officials,
who escaped to the Magtaon river and
swan to the opposite bank. When the
treachery of the natives was apparent
the c~onstabulary Immediately opened
fire and a fierce fight ensued, in which
the constabulary gained a decisive
victory. The Pulajanes were chased
to the mountains, but the pursuers
lost more guns that they captured.
The American officials were later
found with the exception Of Gov.
Curry. He was last seen being chased
by Pulajanes, and it is now believed
he is hiding in the dense brush in
that locality.
Three hundred constabulary are
now on the trail of the fugitive ma.
tives and searching for Gov. Curry.

TRY TO ADJUST WAGE SCALE
FINAL EFFORT TO SETTLE 81.
LUMINOUS DIFFICULTY TO
BE MADE TODAY.

Indianapolis, March 27-Bituminous
coal operators and miners of the Cen
trail competitive and Southwestern
districts will make a final effort to-
day to decide on a wage scale to go
into effect April /. The Joint scale
committees of the two districts will
resume their sessions after a deadlock
lasting five days during which there
has been no indication of a weaken
ing on either side. The miners de-
mand an advance in wages of 5.55 per
cent which is the restoration of the
wage scale of 1903. Mr.. F. L. Rob-
bins, speaking for the operators of
Western Pennsylvania. has offered to
pay this advance and has threatened
the operators of Ohio, Indiana and H.
lnois, who are standing firmly against
any advance, that unless they recede
he will break away from the inter-
state agreement and run his mines on
the advanced scale. Whether the
miners will agree to sign by districts
and allow the mines of Western Penn
sylvania to run while those of Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio stand idle is a .ques-
ton that has not been openly settled.
Indications point to a disagreement
of the two Joint committees to-day
and the probable calling together Of
the joint conference in the afternoon
when the fight owe the wage scale
will be conducted publicly and not be-
hind closed doors, as the sessions of
the joint conference have been held.

Washington, March 23.-The state.
hood bill was taken from the speakers
table in the house yesterday and a
request made of the senate for a con-
ference on the measure. This action
was not accomplished without many
words and votes. 1t was developed
at once, however, that there were
votes enough to carry out the pro-
gram of the leaders. The feature of
the debate were remarks by j. Adam
Bede Of Minnesota, during which he
told of his approval Of the president,
particularly because he had given his
daughter in marriage to a member of
the house of representatives and not
to a degenerate prince, or to a repre-
sentative of that house of detention
at the other end of the capitol"
Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania cham
pioned the special rule and Mr.. Will
Jams, the minority leader, suggested
that Republicans would need the spe-
cial prayer of the chaplain after they
had made their record on statehood.
The railroad rate bill occupied prac-
tically all of the time of the senate
yesterday. There were speeches by
Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Spooner. Mr..
Lodge spoke in advocacy of his
amendment for the enlargement of the
interstate commerce commission. Mr..
Spooner devoted his argument to the
constitutional powers of the inferior
courts.

Fedc alton Of Labor Decides to Mix

Washington, March 27.-Organized
labor has definitely decided to wage
war at the polls. Senators and rep
resentatives in congress who oppose
legislation demanded by the leaders
of organized labor will be marked for
defeat. Candidates for elective Of
fees will be closely questioned as to
their views. A policy both of precen-
ton and cure will be adopted.
Just what steps the labor leaders in
tend to take subsequent to the re-
sponses of the candidates is not clear,
but it is assumed that the plan is to
attempt to divert the votes of men,
bers of organized labor associations
for or against candidates who make
responses to the queries.
