GOODNESS under fire of the American
women at Davao during the siege OF
the convent In which Americans were
gathered during the mutiny Of June g..

ippine constabulary at that post re-

The message says that after the at
tack on barracks, which fell into the
hands of the mutineers. all Ameri-
cans of the post and sixteen of the
native constabulsry who remained
loyal gathered in the convent and re-
sisted the assaults of the mutineers.
The women assisted the men In every
way possible.
Captain Walker OF the Philippine
scouts, governor Of Davao province,

three mutineers, who retired to the
mountains when their assaults on the
convent proved unavailing. is under

Gibraltar, June 15.-The North
German Lloyd steamer Princess Irene
arrived here, having on board the
first class passengers of the Cunard
steamer Slavonia. which ran ashore
early in the morning of June 10 on
Flores Island, one of the Azores.
The Slavonia, which sailed from
New York on June 3, had fair wealth
er until near the Azores, when fog
set in. She was under a good head of
speed when she struck a rock off
Flores Island. The water rushed in
and, in an incredibly short time,
flooded the hold and reached the en-
gines.
The passengers were awakened by
the shock and focked out on the
decks. 1t was then about 2:30 a. m.
Those of the first and second cabins
behaved admirably, but the steerage
passengers showed much excitement.
The officers Of the ship did every
thing possible to reassure the passen-
gers and the band was set to playing
popular airs.
A call for help was sent out by
wireless, which was responded to
by the Princess Irene, but long before
her arrival on the scene the Sla-
vonia's own boats landed the passen-
gers. The Princess Irene, which
reached the Clavonia late on Thurs
day evening, embarked the saloon
passengers early the following morn

six, remained on the Princess Irene
and are proceeding to Naples.

There is a prevailing sentiment
