Military Forces Will Probably Help Con
stabulary In Cavils.
Manila, Nov. 12. The government
is adopting vigorous measures to sup
press ladronism In tbe provinces of
Cavite, Risal and Bulacan. A tone
embracing these provinces and sur
rounding Manila is the scene of con
stant petty and sometimes serious dis
order. Beveral armed bands, some of
them numbering 200 or 800 men, are
operating in the described districts,
and have committed various depreda
tions. They find a rale refuge in tbe
mountains. Tbe plan of the govern
ment contemplates securjng the assist
ance ol the milliary, which hss been
inactive since tbe end of the insurrec
tion. The extent of tbe army's partici-
pation in the work of suppression de
pends upon developments. It is prob
able tbst tbe military authorities will
request the garrisons to protect tbe
more important towns, while- tbe con
stabulary conduct the field operations.
It is thought that martial law, in a
modified form, will be declared and
tbe privilege of the writ of habeas cor
pus suspended In Cavite province,
.which has been the home of the la-
drones for ages.
Military control of Cavite province
is not contemplated. It is intended
tbat the military and civil authorities
shall work in conjoncticn. The belief
is bold that advantage has been taken
in some parts of the Wand of tbe com
plete inactivity of the soldiers, and It
is thought that the ace of the army by
the civil authorities will have a bene
ficial effect.
Tbe vigorous campaign against the
ladrones conducted by volunteers in
Bulacan province hat resulted in driv
ing many refugee bandits into Bizal,
where the campaign is now opening.

.TRIED TO LYNCH CAR CREW.
Washington, Nov. 13. President
Baer, of the Philadelphia & Reading
coal and iron company, bat filed with
the anthracite coal strike commission
the reply of that company to the state
ment tnade by John Mitchell, presi
dent of the Mineworken of America,
concerning tbe points involved in tbe
anthracite coal strike. Following is
the text of Mr. Baer't statement:
"To the anthracite coal strike com
mission : Tbe Philadelphia & Reading
coal and iron company replying to the
demands of John Mitchell, representing
certain anthracite mineworkert, says:
"That it owns 37 collieries situated
in tbe coonties of Schuylkill, Northum
berland and Columbia, and that it did
operate, previous to tbe strike inaugur
ated by tbo United Mineworkera of
America, 33 collieries and four wash
eries. and that at that time it bad
26,829 employes in and about tbe
mines.
"Tbe demand for '20 per cent in
crease upon the price paid during the
year 1901 to employee performing con
tract or piece work is arbitrary, un
reasonable and unjust. 'Thia company
denies there it such similarity between
the mining of bituminous and of anth
racite coal as to make wagea paid in
one a standard for the other.
"This company denies tbat tbe pres
ent rate of wagea it lower than is paid
in other mines in the same locality
and controlled by like conditions.
This company is not informed as to tbe
average annnal earnings in tbe bitum
inous coal fields, but it avert tbat near
ly all of its former employes woo dur
ing tbe past five months worked in tne
bituminous mines bave returned to the
anthracite coal regions, preferring to
work in tbe anthrsr ite mines.
"This comn&ny denies that 'the rate
of wages in the anthracite coat fields is
insufficient to compensate tne mine-
workers, in view of the dangerous char
acter of tbe occupation in relation to
accidents, liability to serious and perm
anent disease, the high death rate and
the short trade life incident to this em
ployment.'
This company further denies that
'the children of tbe anthracite mine-
workers are prematurely forced into the
breakers and mills instead of being
supported and educated upon tbe earn
inirs of their parents, because oi tne
low wages of such parents,' or that Buch
wages are below tne lair and just earn
ings of mineworkera in this industry
'No boyt are employed in and about
the mines and breakers in violation of
the statutes fixing the ages of employ
ment. In addition to provisions lor
education, ample hospitals for the care
of the sick and injured are maintained
in the anthracite coal regions. This
company avers tbat there it not any

COST OF RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Increased Appropriations Are Necessary
to Meet Requirements.
Washington, Nov. 11. The annual
gross cost of complete rural free deliv
ery service throughout tbe United
States will approximate 92,000,000,
according to the annual report - which
First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne received from Augnot W
Machen, general superintendent of tbe
service. Tbe remaining 700,000 square
miles not now covered by rural free de
livery service, according to the report,
will require the employment of 26,000
cr 27,000 carriers in addition to those
now emlpoyed. making the entire force
of carriers, when the extension of tbe
service is completed, within the next
three years, 40,000. After this exten
sion it completed the annnal rate of in
crease in the appropriation it expected
New York. Tbe fire started in a tool
shed, and from this spread to- the
framework. Within five m inn tee after
the discovery of the fire the wbole top
Oi the tower was in a blaze. Then the
foot bridges fell, carrying with them
many tons of bolts, rivets, nuts and
tOOlS.
While the fire was at its height a
party of firemen were cut off at the
base of the tower, where they were ex
posed to a torrent of brands of redhot
iroa and steel. They were rescued
after several had been aeverelyborned.
Brands trom tbe tower set fire to the
big storehouse of the Pennsylvania
steel company. It waa entirely con
sumed, and the contents were hnrled
into the river, together with two hoist

11 o'clock before tbe flames had de
voured everything combustible, leaving
only the steel tower and the fonr great
