It is exHH-tod that tomorrow there will he further negotiations with the in surgent representatives. While the hope is expressed that our commission will not hold out terms so severe as to lead to a renewal of the fighting or the withdrawal of the insurgents to another stronghold further north, it is realized that Otis must exercise care to make sure that they do not in bud fuith take advantage of the opportunity afforded by . ....... ..r i... ..:i::. ... n-i....- o ourl'lirluil Ul liuniiiitivi. iu oci mo n unt- ever benefit to themselves limy come from the rapidly approaching rainy season. Campaigning on the part of the Americans will be almost impossible at that time. However, it is believed that Agulnaldo is now really in earnest, and that bis sole effort is to shift the res ponsibility for the surrender to the Filipino congress. ItKHKI.H DKMOKAI.IZKU, l.at Achievement of thn Americana Took Them by 8urrle, Manila, April 28. General Otis said today after the interview with the Fili pino peace envoys : "The insurgents were completely de moralized when our- force crossed the river and took the trenches beyond the rebels, though their position in the Rio Grande trenches was impregnnblo, for they had dolled the Spaniards there In 18',MI, and thought they could do it again." The insurgents have gathered at San Fernando, where uon combatants report they are burning and pillaging. The soldiers are sni 1 to be mutinous. General Lawton is again in touch with bim, and conferred with them. He refused, however, to speak authorita- i tively oa the subject of their errand, re ferring all inquiries to General Otis. The Filipinos were then escorted by Mjor-General J. S. Mallory to Manila, reaching this place at 3 p. m. General Otis' aide, Lieutenant SUJen, w as await their arrival at the deiiot with a carriage in which they were driven to the palace. jThey were escorted directly to the office of lieneral Otis. Jacob. U. bchurman, I president of the Philippine commission, anl Hon. Charles Denby, member of i tue commission, soon joined the party. News of the arrival of the Filipinos under a flag of truce spread through the citv rapidly, and many officers gravitated lo the corridors of the palace. At 5 o'clock the two Filipino officers, escorted by Lieutenant Sluden and Msjor Mallory, left the palace. They did not look elated as the result of their task with General Otis and the members, of the Philippine commission. Aguinaldo is evidently selecting the army as a cloak for bis congress, bopirg by subterfuge to overcome General Otis consistent policy of ignoring the Filipino government. The Filipinos' argument is that it is impossible to arrango an ar mistice without the sanction of the con gress. General Otis punctured this assumption by stat'ng that if General Aguinaldo could make war without the consent of the congress, he could stop without referet.ee to that body. One of the conferees afterwards remarked that the Malays are shrewder than white men in diplomacy. While the insurgents are undoubted'y tired of war, the leaders are torn with dissensions. There is a suspicion that it was hoped by means of a conference to ascertain what they could expect. If they saw that anything is to be gained by con tinuing the war, an armistice would afford them an opportunity for recuperat ing their forces. It is an interesting commentary upon Aguinaldo's Bcheme that only t0 of the 300 members of the Filipino congrefs have taken the oath of allegiance which their constitution requires. A Filipino proclamation, replying to the proclamation of the American com mission, has appeared. It is signed by Madini for the president, and is dated at Canaisdro, April 10. It declares that President McKinley issued the procla mation in order to force the American congress to ratify the cession of the islands under the treaty of Paris. "This contract of cession was made with the Spanish after Spanish domina tion bad been ended by the valor of our troops," the proclamation asserts. The proclamation complaius that the Fili- Hr-oKA!, April A War In, special V the Spokesm in-Ueview say: War lner today bai Wen the nnn of thn worr,t riots since the deadly labor war of 18 )3. One man is I'eavl. another i thought to be mortally wounded, and property valued at 2.V),000 has been de stroyed by giant powder and Ore. Tl damagn wa done by onion men anil sympathizer from C'jnyon creek, about 20 miles from Wardner. This morning mob of from WK) to 1000 men, all of them armed ami many of them masked, seized a train at Hurke, at the head of Canyon creek. Tljere were nine box car and a pasienr ger coau-h, and they were black with the mob. The iitor Brought with them 3i00 pound of giant powder. After a parley of two hours 140 masked men armed with Winchesters. Hurke in the lea l and War lner follow ing, started with yells for the Bunker Hill A Sullivan mill and other buildings, a third of a mile from the depot. Thejr sent pickets ahead, and one of thee pickets fired a shot a a signal that the mill was abandoned. This wa misunderstood bythennia body of the mob, who imagine I that r.on union miner in the mills bad opened fire on them, and they beyr firing on their own pickets. About 1000 shot were tbus exchanged between the rioters and their pickets, and Jack Smith onnof the' pickets, formerly of British Columbia, and a noted figure in drill contests, was shot dead. The fatal error wa discovered after a few seconds' Br ing and Smith's body brought down from the hillside. By this time the strikers had taken posse-tsion of the Bunker Hill A Sullivan mill, w hich they found deserted, the manager having directed his employee not to risk their lives by battling with the mob. Powder was called for.and 60 50-pound boxes were carried from the depot to the mill. The heaviest charge was placed among the machinery of the mill Another charge was placed under the brick office building. Other charms were placed around the mill. Then the boarding-house, a frame structure, was tired. Fuses leading to the charges were lighted, and the strikers carrying" the dead body of the picket, retired to a Safe distance. At 2 :36 P. M. the fiast blast went oft". It shook the ground for miles, and build ings in Wardner, two miles away, trem bled. At Intervals of about 3J seconds four other charges went off, the fifth be ing the largest and completely demolish ing the mill. The loss to the Bunker Hill A Sullivan Company is estimated from $250,000 to $300,000. In a tew minutes the strikers went back to the station, the whistle was blown for stragglers, the mob soon climbed aboard and at 3 o'clock, just three hours after Us arrival, the train pulled out for Canyon creek. During the fusillade from the guns of the mob, Jim Cttayoe, a Bunker Hill A Sullivan miliman, was severely shot through the hips. It is reported that be was carried off by the strikers, and bis wound is trobably fatal. J.J.Rogers, a stenographer in the employ of the com pany, was shot through the lip, but his wound is trivial. This morning the 230 non-union miners at the Bunker Hill A Sullivan bad warning of the coming of the mob and left the mine and took to the bills. They have not been seen since. Union men working in the Last Chance left the mine this morning, presumably to take part in the riot. Touight the Bunker Hill A Sullivin mine is closed. When it will be re opened is a thing no living man can say. With the mill wrecked it is impossible ta handle the ore produced at the mine workings. The Last Chance is likewise closed down. It has been getting power from the Bunker Hill mill, and the des truction of those works will absolutely prevent the Last Chance from working for the next three months or until its own compressor is complete. Mean while the total working force of the town is laid off. The wrecking of thn mill plant in volves the livelihood of 000 men. The Bunker Hill mine up to the time of the strike had been working 300 men and the mill 00, while the Last Chance al together employed 150. As soon as the first word of the feci ious trouble reached the town, all the saloons closed. Most of the merchants of the town shut up their establishments. As the first shots were heard the excite ment increased. Children were run- (Cootinued on page six)
