.. S. Authorities Nip Plot
of C0nspiring FiIipinOs

! Manila, P. /. - Disclosures of the
checking by American authorities Of
an uprising Of Filipinos set for Thurs
day night were made here Sunday.
Eight arrests have been reported, with
more to follow. Christmas eve had
been chosen by the conspirators in the
belief that the army officers would be
engaged in preparations for celebrat-
ing the holiday. \
Warning was given that 10, 900 Fili-
pinos in Manila alone planned q con-
certed attack on Fort Santiago, the
Quartet Espano, the Quartet Infantent
and the Medical department. Acting
on this information, the military off,
GERS instituted patrol Of the streets
at dusk and took other measures Of
defense.
1t is disclosed that secret agents Of
the Filipino constabulary who are
members Of the secret societies dis
closed the plans for an uprising, thus
enabling the constabulary and police tt
disperse gatherings at Bagumbayan,
Peco and Navotas, near Malobon.
The uprising was conducted mostly
by followers of Artemio Ricarte, .
revolutionary now in Hongkong, tc
which plsse ne was banished by the
officials several months ago. Its fail.
ure was due in part to poor organiza-
tion and lack of good leadership.
Reports from Navotas, a town six
miles north Of the capital, say that
simultaneously with the outbreak at
Manila on Christmas eve 80 men en-
tered the municipal building, seized
three policemen on duty there and in
effectually tried to open the safe.
Later the Filipinos seized several
attendants conducting midnight mass
and also captured the Filipino COVER
nor, Meleandres. When reinforce.
ments Of police arrived the revolution.
aries fired volley and then, retreated.
Later they encountered another force
Of police with which they exchanged
shots and in this engagement the con-
stabulary succeeded in arresting II
men. In all 81 Filipinos were taker
prisoners at Navotas.

Bruas. to Retire2

Washington, d. C.--The Christmas
season political rumor is that Williau
Jennings Bryan is to retire soon from
the cabinet, and 10 to be succeeded as
secretary Of state by Senator Stone,
of Missouri.
The politicians base their credence Of
the rumor on their belief that the
Secretary Of State must get out Of
the cabinet soon TO make his race for
the presidential nomination In 1916.
They say his candidacy is an assured
fact. Senator Stone, they say, will
succeed him in the cabinet because, az
chairman of the senate foreign rela-
tions committee, the Missourian has
supported the foreign policies Of both
the President and Mr.. Bryan.

ItaIu Irritates Vienna.

venice-Italy's expedition in Av-
Iona, which she occupied several days
ago, appears to have produced consid-
cradle irritation at Vienna, according
to advices from the Austrian capital.
It is thought there that possibly the
suddenness of the Italian move may
have disturbed plans attributed to
Prince Won Buelow's mission at Rome,
which is said to have included an offer
of Southern Albania to Italy upon her
agreeing to certain conditions.

to continuing his efforts for peace, is
trying to obtain the consent of the

INDIANAPOLIS. June S.-Despite the numerous handicaps which had to be combatted in the staging of the fifth international 500-mile race. the Indianapolis motor speedway management considers that contest by far the most successful in its history.

 The attendance figures. checked by official recount, shot about 25,000 over the mark expected by speedway officials. Seventy-five thousand spec tatOrs, by actual count, filed through the gates.
 From the point of view of sport, there never was as great a contest in the worlds history.

Both players have been be- fore the public for years and both have established large followings. This pie ture Is in five parts and two hundred scenes.

Detroit Overtakes White SoX in American, But Cubs Retain a Narrow Marrow Margin Over the Phillies-CObb's Work.
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcH1

NEW YORK, June S.-A tighten ing of the. races in both the Nation al and American Leagues was the feature of the past weeks play. Both the Chicago teams made rather a poor showing the Nationals being threatened for the leadership by Phil adelphia, while Brooklyn was close behind. The Chicago Americans Were being pressed by Detroit, which took the lead yesterday, while Bos- ton was playing consistent ball.
 Not only was Ty Cobb leading the American League in batting, stolen bases and runs scored, but was again and again doing something to pull out a victory for Detroit.
 The New York Americans, after a promising start, have only won two of their last thirteen games, while Washington. St. Louis and Philadel-
