Attack Without WARMING.

Without any warning the mutineers
suddenly attacked the quarters during
the night and gained possession OF
them before any resistance could be
offered by a few native non commits
stoned officers and several loyal mem
bers of the company. Governor Walk
er of Davao province Immediately ral-
l15d the Americans and such natives as
could be trusted, in a large church and
preparations for defense were hastily
made during the night. Windows and
doors were barricaded, loopholes were
cut, food and water were taken into
the building and everything possible
done to withstand a siege.
At 5 O'Clock in the afternoon of the
seventh the mutineers began an attack
on the church. For three hours the
fight ragged. A heavy fire was directed
against the church and its defenders
but Governor Walker and his small
force replied with such vigor that they
discouraged all attempts to storm the
place.
News Reaches Mate.
The mutineerS retired and evidently
expected to await darkness under COW
er of which safer and more success
full attack could be made upon the
church. In the meantime, however,
news of the mutiny had reached Matt
a town of considerable size 46 miles
southeast of Davao. A company of
constabulary stationed there imme-
diately hurried to the relief of Davao.
Their approach caused the disloyal con-
stabulary force to withdraw during
the night. Thirty native troopers es-
capped to the mountains with their
arms and equipment.
With the receipt of the news of the
mutiny today also came word that de-
tachments of the 23rd infantry have
reached Davao and quickly succeeded
in restoring order Several columns
of troops were Immediately dispatched
in pursuit of the mutineers.
Mutiny Purely Local.
1t is believed here that the mutiny
was of purely local character resulting
from differences over food supplies or
Of the constabulary.
1t is thought to be confined to men,
bers of the one company at Davao and
the fact that neighboring company
also composed of natives, hurried to
the relief Of the besieged governor and
the few Americans at the place is cited
as proof Of this.
Acting Governor General Forbes is
expected in Manila tonight, when a
conference with General Duval, COM
manding the division of the Philip
pines, will be held. 1t is expected that
the determination will be reached at
this conference to vigorously pursue
the mutineers until the last one is
captured. The mutineers are all Wis
ayans. Next to Manila, Davao is the
most important American community
in the Philippines.

DOGS TRAVEL IN STATE.
Train Specially Appointed to Convey
Valuable CANNES to Show,
,cial Correspondence Of The Star.


LONDON, March "a. 1909
The experiment of running special
train from London to Manchester to ac-
commodate dogs bound for the Manches-
ter dog show was made a few days ago
and proved success.
Every provision was made for the COM
fort of the pampered and valuable ami
mails. They were put in steam-heated
vans. the largest Of the animals having
vans quite alone, and each travelling dog
had mattress Of straw and a pannikin
Of water.
At luncheon the menu consisted chiefly
OF dog biscuits, but some of the dogs
had bones scraps of meat, soft bread and
filtered water. The journey from London
lasted five hours, but none of the ami
mails seemed to suffer from the excite
ment of travelling.
Most of the dogs went from London, but
some were picked up at the larger way
stations between the two cities. The ken
mel special, as 1t was termed by the rail-
way company. also provided accommoda-
tion for the owners, who could walk
through the cars during the course OF the
journey and see II their pets were In good
condition.
Most of the owners were women. and
they declared themselves highly pleased
with this new way of conveying valua BILE
animals to shows. They seemed to think
it would give great stimulus to dog and
cat shows everywhere, because hereto
fore many women have hesitated to send
a rare and delicate dog to any great dis
lance by ordinary means OF conveyance.

VOGUE OF CHEAP NOVEL.
Rider Haggard Delivers Address Be
fore Society of Authors.
5enre of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON. March "a. 1909.
Rider Haggard at the annual meeting
Of the Incorporated Society of Authors
recently talked on subject which is in
teresting literary men in England greatly
namely, the vogue of the twelve and four
ten cent novel.
Mr.. Iaggard said that unless these
cheap editions of books could be stopped
the six-shilling novel would be practically
killed. No one could earn a living by
books published at II cents. If when a
six-shilIing novel was published it was
known that shortly after a fourteen-cent
edition would follow the more expensive
book would not be bought.
There was much discussion on the sub
ject by all the authors present, among
whom were Anthony Hope. Conan Doyle.
Edgar Jepson, Edwin Pugh and II. G.
Wells. The chairman of the meeting.
Douglas Freshfield, stated that a commit
tee appointed to consider this question
was of opinion that in order to protect
the six-shilling novel 1t was essential that
time limit on which both publisher and
public could rely should be fixed before
which it would be impossible to get a
cheap edition Of six-shilling book.
The necessity of printing in the United
there, said Mr.. Freshfield, inflicted a great
hardship on English printers. and should
reasonable argument fail to induce the
United States to assimilate her law to
that of other civilized nations retaliation
might. be fully justified.
