than bold what it has gained and pre

ground to defend ia not very great.
On the south of Manila we have
Imua, about 18 milea away, where the
Fourth and Fourteenth infantry, with
several guns from the Sixth artillery,
are stationed. This teiritory was
gained within tne last two weeks by
the hard fighting at Paranaque, at
which even the rattle of the rifles can
be heard in Manila. We hold the road
that runs to Imus through Paranaque
and Baooor, every Inch of which was
gained by bard fighting.

II, bat the insurgents control all tht
traot between San Fernando and Da
gupan, the northern terminal of the
road. The Americans hold Canadaba,
east of San Fernando 10 miles. They
hold all the towns along the railroad,
of course, to San Fernando and Ba
liuag, seven miles east of Pulilan.
Kepoits continually come from Ba
liuag that the town is entirely sur
rounded by the enemy and is about to
ba carried by assault. But Colonel
Page and the Third Infantry have so
far diiven the rebels back with disaa
tioue losa every time they have assault
ed the town, and be declares he can
bold it for an indefinite time, although
his position there is by no means an
easy one. Supplies and mail can only
be carried over to Baliuag from tbe
railroad under an escort of not less
than 160 men, who ar invariably at
tacked tome where along tbe road, both
going and coming.
At San Fernando two determined at
tacks along the whole rebel line were
made last week. Tbe second engage
ment lasted three hours, when the in
surgents were driven back with heavy
oases. Bullets fly continually over
both places and stray bullets frequently
find viotims.
Heavy ahlpments of arms are said to
be constantly arriving from Japan and
Australia and, it ia said, even from
our own country. Cartridges picked
np in the inanrgenta trenches bear the
trade mark ot a big manufacturing
firm in the United States. The insur
gents have three factories where they
manufacture cartridges and other mo
nitions of war. If they were kept on
the rnn they would have no time bo
to equip themselves that they could re
turn after defeat, better able to fight
than they were before.
Tbey are learning things every en
counter with the Americans. The pa
pers in Manila have continually re
fer ed to the fact that the rebels weie
pione to shoot too high, and they
seemed finally to have learned the lea
son and now they are getting their
shots well down and showing a great
improvement in marksmanship.
The few Americans who came over
to Manila a week ago Tuesday on the
Esmeralda from Hong Kong were as
tonished a few hours after sunrise when
their ship had steamed out to quaran
tine, to hear heavy cannonading from
the monitor Monadnock, which was in
plain eight down tht coast about five
miles below Manila. Some of the pas
sengers thonght it waa some sort of
salute in honor of tht arrival of some
distinguished naval or army hero and
they eagerly questioned a Boldler who
sat on tbe stern of tbe health officer's
lannoh.
"That," said the young man, "that's
nothing. That's just a battle." It
was some time before the passengers
could believe the Americana and inanr
genta were fighting within sight and
sound of Manila, where the war had
started six mouths before. The battle
raged all day and at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon the rattleot small arms could
be distinctly heard, and late in the
evening the health officer told as the
fighting bad been at Paranaque.

an extraordinary explanation ot M.
Del Casse'a present mission. He as
serts that it waa decided upon quite
suddenly for a "reason whioh admitted
of no delay," and then gives the story
which he aays he haa from "aonroe
to which I am bound to attach Import
ance." This is the explanation:
' Em pei or Nicholas is disappointed
and tired ot the throne. The absence
of an heir excites his superBtititlous
feeling, and he conneota himself with a
Russian legend, according to which an

Constantinople. The death ot the

to abdicate, and on the ocoasion ot his

MANY KILLED AND INJURED
Four-Ton Motor Fell Forty Feet ITpon
the Wrecked Car and Cruahed
the Helpleaa People.
Bridgeport, Conn., Ang. 8. Nearly
40 persona were killed by an accident
on the Stratford extension of the Shel
ton Street Railway Company at 4
o'clock today, when a loaded trolley car
went off the trestle over Peck's
millpond at Oronoque, about six miles
north of Bridgeport, and aank in the
data 40 (eet below. Thus far 86 per
sons aie known to ba dead, and eeveial
more injured.
Only two persons are known to have
escaped unharmed. It is believed that
there were 48 paasengera on the car, but
the indicator waa removed by a con
ductor of another car and spirited
away, so that at present it ia impossi
ble ti say accurately the number
aboard.
The scene of the accident ia midway
between Shelton and Bridgeport. The
car waa nortbbonnd, running toward
Shelton. The trestle ia 440 feet long,
made ot iron, with atone foundations,
and waa not protected by guard rails.
South of tbe tieatle is an incline down
whioh the oar ran on the trestle for
about 10 feet, the trucks' left the rails.
Tbe car continued on the tiea about 75
feet, when it went off the trestle and
dropped into the pond below, overturn
ing and completely upending.
When tha oar struck, the font -ton
motor and the heavy trucks crashed
into it, instantly, killing many of the
passengers. Three physicians, who
were passengers on a car a short dis
tance behind, arrived quickly and ren
dered all possible assistance to the in
jured. Word waa sent to Bridgeport and
three ambulances and a poiieo wagon
were hurried to the scene, and the
injured were taken to Bridgeport gen
eral hospital. A morgue waa impro
vised in the main room of the town
hall at Stratford, and in a very abort
time 28 bodies were laid out awaiting
identification. .
DROWNED IN GROUPS.
Dlanater to Maine Kxooralonlata nt
Mount Iteeert Ferry,
Bar Harbor, Me., Aug. 8. A score
ot persons were killed today by the
collape of the gangplank of the Mount
Desert ferry. Seventeen were drowned
and three died from the terrible exper
ience of immersion in the water and in
juries while atruggling for life.
The Maine Central today i an excur
sions to Bar Harbor from all sections
of its line in Maine, tbe attraction be
ing the warships whioh were expected
today. All the morning long trains
packed with exaurBlonists were rushing
to Bar Harbor.
When the excursion from Bangor ar
rived at the ferry there was a rush for
the steamer Sappho. The first few pas
sengers had crossed the gangplank Bafe
ly, and it Is estimated that 200 people
were massed on the plank. Suddenly
they felt the plank give way, and a
struggling, screaming mass of human
ity waa plunged into the water, IS feet
below the wharf. A few clung to the
inclined sides of the plank, but at least
160 were struggling in the water. The
piling of the wharf partially penned
them on three sides, and the boat lying
at tbe wharf closed the outer end ot
the opening.
After the first moment of stupei fac
tion the work of reacue began. Ropea
and life preservers were thrown to the
crowd, but in the panio the people in
the water clutohed one another and
many aank in groups in a deatb grip.
The exact numbei ot dead will not be
known for some time yet, as a strong
tide sweeps nnder the pier, and the
bodiea may have been carried away
away by it.
YAQUIS PREPARED FOR WAR.
It Will Take the Mexican Government
n Long Time to Whip Them.
Austin, Tex., Aug. 8. A special re
oeived here today from Terrazas, Chi
huahua, Mexico, which ia located near
the scene ot the Yaqui uprising, ia to
the effect that the Indians are arrang
ing for a prolonged war. The special
Bays:
"It ia going to take the Mexican gov
ernment a long time and a big torce of
troops to quell the rebellion. The
Yaqnia are better prepared now than
ever before for a long and bloody cam
paign. They aie all well fixed finan
cially, nearly all of them having aaved
the $200 per head whioh the Mexican
government paid them when tbey
signed the treaty of peace two yeara
ago. Tbey have been making since
then, too, and it is known to be a fact
that they hava been laying in big sup
plies of arms and ammunition for some
time past. It baa been common talk
among the American prospectors in the
Ynqui valhy that the Indiana were pre
paring for another outbreak, bnt as the
bravea had always shown a friendly
spirit toward the Americana, it was
thought they would not molest them
when they did go on the warpath.
They are determined to recover all ot
their loat country, however, and will
kill everybody they find within tht
limits of their old possessions."
Tbe speoial also reports that a num
ber of miners and ranchers in and
near Cocori had been slain and their
property laid waste.
Senor Grullan aays that Hereaux's
assassination was essential to datively
of country from despotism. He also
taya that the murdered president was
friend of Spain in the late war.
