Continued depredations by rebellious

has been destroyed.
Two bands of about 100 each are in
yolved in the outbreak. Two COM
panies Of the Sd United States Infantry
have been ordered to the scene to as
sist the Philippine Scouts already there
in suppressing the uprising. Gen. Per-
shing expresses the opinion that the
situation is not serious.
For almost week or more the Man.
obos have been terrifying the people on
the west coast of Davao.
Labor troubles are believed by War
Department officials to be responsible for
the uprising among the Manobos. The
latter are of the lowest type of Fill
pinos. it is said. They are indolent and
resent any effort to compel them to work.
1t is presumed here that the outbreak
has resulted from too vigorous meas
ures to meet this condition taken by
foreigners owning plantations.

CREW Of SINKING BARK
RESCUED DURING GALE
Sailors Take to Lifeboat and
Are Saved After Oil Is
Thrown on Waves.

BALTIMORE. Md, October 31.-The
crew Of the Norwegian bark Mastorea,
seventeen men in all, We're brought here
today on the fruiter Juan from Jamaica.
The Seamen were rescued during the
West Indian hurricane week ago yes
terday by the British bark River Platte
and taken to the island Their vessel,
which was bound from Gulfport, Miss,
to Buenos Aires, was abandoned i'm a
sinking condition.
The members Of the crew of the Mas
torea went through most thrilling ex-
perience. The vessel rapidly filling with
water, the decks a mass of wreckage
the lifebOats disabled and a hurrica =
wind still hurting mountainous seas over
the derelict, the men had all but aba l.
-doDed hope when the River Platte was
sighted.
When the latter vessel came near
enough the crew of the Mastorea en-
barked in their damaged lifeboat, which
sank to the gunwales and was only kept
afioat by the airtanks.
Although the boat put away from the
MaStorea at noon it was p. m. before
the last man was safely aboard the River
Platte. That the men were saved at all
is attributed to the use of Oil. which had
been thrown overheard from the ship in
an effort to keep her afioat as long as
possible.
Finally, getting rowboat into the area
covered by the Oil, the River Platte was
able to get alongside, and the men We're
hauled to her deck by means of lifeline

PRESSURE ON THE THRONE
Late Empress Dowager Had Set 1915
as Earliest Date.
SENATE JOINS IN PETITION
Vote Almost Unanimous, Despite
Fact That Half of Members Were
Appointed by Crown.

PEKING, October 31.-It is believed
that the throne has decided to accede to
the demand OF the senate and the prov
incial delegates for the early convocation
Of a popular parliament.
In the senate today. and in the presence
of the leading grand councillors, Prince
Yu Liang, a member of the grand coun-
Gil, stated that the entire nation from the
highest to the lowest was agreed upon
the necessity of the early establishment
Of general parliament.
The senator's who understood this to
mean that their memorial would be
granted, received the declaration Of the
prince with loud and prolonged cheering.
Concession Is Important.
The Importance of this concession on
the part of the government can be
scarcely overestimated in view of its re-
cent refusal to entertain a similar re-
quest made by a delegation from the
provincial assemblies last June
The program fixed by the late empress
dowager provided for the constitution of
a general representative legislative body,
to be known as the imperial parliament,
in 1915, at the end Of nine-tnar period
of preparation. No sooner had this plan
been made known in decree than a
popular agitation was begun to influence
| the throne to advance the date when
China might have a truly representative
government.

senate developed an opposition party COM

Meantime. the viceroys and governors
Of provinces supported the opposition by
memoralizing the throne regarding an
early opening Of the proposed parliament.
October 26 such progress had been
made athat the' senate adopted by an
aimoa unanimous vote memorial to the
throne praying for the establishment Of a

Outcome Of General Labor Trou-
bles in That City, But the Po-
lice Have No Clue.

Los Angeles, Cal-The Llewellyn
Iron Works was partially wrecked by
an explosion, presumably of dyna-
mite, early Christmas morning. The
force of the explosion tore out the
front of the building. smashed win
dows for more than a block distant
and wakened people in residence dis
tricts more than two miles away. The
night Waterman was slightly injured.
The police have no clue to the perpe-
traitors.
Who placed the supposed charge of
dynamite is unknown, but it Is be-
lieved by the owners of the plant to
be the outcome of the general labor
troubles in Los Angeles, in which the
Llewellyn company has been promi-
nently involved.
A hole in the ground eighteen in
ches deep and about six feet in dia-
meter bears witness to the place of
origin and probable cause of the dam
age.
The front of the main building, a
three-story frame, for distance of
probably seventy-five feet was shot to
pieces and its contents of furniture
and office paraphernalia are piled to-
gether in apparent ruin. The big ma
chinery of the plant is apparently un.
damaged.
