M|NDANAO MUT|hY
 UNDER INVESTIGATION ALSO CONDUCT OF AMERICAN
 OFFICERS.
Mutineers Say Their Action Was Only
 Protest.

Manila. July 2O.-Five of the high est ranking officers in constabulary who have been designated to investi gate the mutiny of a company of the native constabulary at DavaO, Min danaO. on July 5th, assembled here and will proceed to Davao immedi ately.
 It is alleged that two officers whip ped native enlisted men for attractions of discipline and that this together with trouble over the rations. finally resulted in mutiny.
 The mutineers, it is said, claim that they never intended to harm anyone except two junior officers. and they assert that when they returned to DavaO after their first fright they wanted to confer with their captain and had no intention of making an at tack Upon returning to tosn. how ever, they claim that Outposts of set tiers fired on them and they replied
 The conduct of Lieutenant Allen Walker, governor of Davao province and of Lieutenant Deblaine, in leaving DaVao after the mutineers attacked their officers, is questioned.
 The present inquiry, however. will cover only Deblaine's action, as Gov ernor Walker is not under the juris- diction of the constabulary.
 sharp discussion is being wages in military circles over Walkers &C., tion. His friends point out that Gov ernor Walker got back to Davao with endorsements before the second at tack of the mutineers and helped to save the town.

ALL ARE AGREED
 ON THE MAIN FACT THAT LIEUTENANT SUTTON COMMITTED SUICIDE But the Witnesses Disagree as to the
 Details.

Annapolis. Md, July 2O.-The pro- ceedings at today's session of the court of inquiry, Investigating the death of Lieutenant Sutton of Port land Ore, took a sensational turn when First Lieutenant Wm. F. Bevan of the marine corps now attached to the battleship New Jersey, testified. He related his part in the tragedy of October 13, 1907. when young Sutton met his death. Lieutenant Bevan was officer of the guard in the marine camp on that night.
 Like Lieutenant Adams, he testi fled that Sutton deliberately shot himself, but his description of Sut- tons alleged suicide varied from the story told by Adams. The most glaring disagreement with Adams story came when Bevan swore that he and two other officers were on top of Sutton and trying to hold him down to prevent him from using his revolvers, when Sutton freed an arm from under him and fired the bullet into his own brain, after some one remarked that he (Sutton) had killed Lieutenant Rocker.
 Bevan's testimony also revealed that a situation bordering on a wild west rampage had existed in the marine camp prior to the shooting, when Sutton had been trying to make Lieutenant Rocker dance by levelling two revolvers at his feet.
 Lieutenant Adams, Lieutenant Os- terman and Lieutenant Bevan occu- pied the time of the court today Osterman, as a member of Suttons automobile party on the night of Oc- tober F. corroborated Lieutenant Adams story, except to add that he believed Sutton was badly intoxi- cated that night.

WESTERN FEDERATION AND BREWERY WORKERS THAT CONTROVERSY IN THE
 CONVENTION. The Agreement for Settlement Unsat-
 isfactory to All Parties.

Denver, July 20.-An effort to rush through before the days adjournment settlement of the controversy grow ing out of the brewery engineers strike in Butte, Mont, resulted in the adoption of a motion which in retro spect does not satisfy any of the parties to the agreement. The eff feet probably will be to necessitate another conference between the ma tional officers of the United Brewery Workers of American and the West ern Federation of Miners. The reso- lution, presented was based on an agreement reached last spring be- tween President Mover for the fed .eration and Secretary PrcI,stle for the brewery workers. S;,o
 The Butte delegates. holA0a. W. Flynn were opposed to Agreement in it's entirety Although unable to control the convention they succeed ed in eliminating a paragraph provid- ing that there shall be no discrim- inatfon practised against engineers or other workmen who went on strike against the brewery employers in any part of Montana" By this action, the settlement authorized by the conven- ton today was rendered unsatisfac- tory to the administration.
 A feature of today's deliberations was the reading of a poster made public in Butte while the strike was in progress. The poster severely cri- ticized the Butte local union of the Western Federation and charged it's members with attempting to disrupt the organization.
 Secretary Proebstle, of the brewery workers admitted having written the poster and declared that he still be- lieved the charges to be true.

Saturday morning, expressed the
greatest degree of satisfaction with

This cruise marks an epoch in

cy of the indivual units is not a feet
in the highest sense of the term un-
til by long, faithful and harmonious

come to appreciate the importance
of sea power as one of the most
potent factors in the preservation Of
u JuSL ptd't' anu lll's ohOulu dppl'-
ciate what it means to have a fleet
like this.
"The lessons of the cruise have
been many, and it Is no exaggeratiOn
to say that the condition of the ships
Is better today than when they sail
ed from Hampton Roads. in Decem-
Der of 1907. During these IA
months the fleet has been practical
ly self-sustaining in the matter OF
repairs. The. officers and men re-
sponsible for repairs have met every
test and the results prove that the
ships have been better cared for than
when they depend upon the navy
yards.
"Enlistments in the Navy certain
ly will be stimulated by the general
interest in this cruise and the splen-
did opportunities afforded the men
to see the world.
New standards of efficiency in
steam engineering, which means
economy in coal consumption and in
creased radius of action, have been
established"

cess. The II bodies were taken
from the mines and the rooms and
passages are clear. The mine itself
Is practically uninjured.

the company, was the first to leave
Birmingham for the scene of the dis
aster, although Mine Ispectors Hill
house and Flynn hurried to the
scene TO render what aid they could
and to make an inspection. officials of
the company did not know the ex-
act number of men in the mine at
the time of the accident
Ambulances were sent from Ensley
TO the scene, and late tonight collins
were rushed to the ill-fated mine,
which was running on short force.

BIG FLEETS TRIP 0FfEMDS
Spanish Situation Delicate From Dip
lomatic Standpoint.

Madrid Especially The failure of
the American battleship fleet of 16
ships to stop at a Spanish port dur
ing the fleets stay in Mediterranean
waters has caused an undercurrent
of resentment in government circles.
For diplomatic reasons. the gov
ernment is not voicing its displeas-
ure, but one has only to hear the
comments that are common in ad-
illustrative circles to learn that this
dfspleasure is deep-seated.
The ports of France, Turkey, AL
giers and other countries were visit
ed, while Spanish coast towns, al
most within sight of the ships as
they passed, were ignored.
Spain would have welcomed the
hope of doing honors to the fleet,
seeing in such an event the complete
effacement of the last trace of bit
terness growing out of the Spanish
American War.
The situation was so delicate, from
a diplomatic standpoint, that Spain
Guild not urge her claims, though
it was hoped until that at last the
American government would so ar
range the Mediterranean itinerary of
the fleet to include at least one Span
ish port.
