FILIPINO TROOPS MUTINY. Seize Past and Attack Americans and Loyal Natives. Manila, Juns 14.. A portion of tfee Second company of riatlve constabula ry; stationed at Davao, in Xho island of Mindanao, in tho aoutnern pan oi mo PhMnnlne archipelago, mutinied on tho niarht of Juno 6 and attacked the com- pany quarters, wnicn urcy cupmiuu after wminrilnfiT ono OI tno nauvo vai- - o . ; . cers. After a ugut on inc - loiiowmg day, which lasted three hours, and in which an American named Libbey was killed and four others wounded, tho mutineers took to tho mountains upon tho approach of a company of, constab ulary stationed at Mapi, wnicn numeu to tho relief of tho besieged American and loval natives. With th receipt of tho news of tno mutinv todav came also word that de- r tachments of tho Twenty-third infantry have reached Davao and auickly suc ceeded in restoring order. Several col umns of troops were immediately dis patched in pursuit of tho mutineers. It is believed here that the mutiny was of purely local character, resulting from differences over food supplies'!; or tho care of the women of the families of. the constabulary. It is thought to bo confined to members of ono company at Davao, aand tho fact that a neigh boring company, also composed of na tives, hurried to the relief of the be sieged governor and tho few Americans at the place is cited as proof of this. Acting Governor General Forbes is expected in Manila tonight, when a conference with General Duval, com manding the division of the Philippines, will be held. It is expected that the determination will be reached at this conference vigorously to pursue the mutineers until the lastooe is captured DEATH LIST GROWS. Probe Food Preservatives. Washington.

Great suffering is reported owing to a lack of bread and other necessaries of life. The casualties may be great ly increased, as tho ruins have not yet been entirely searched. The villages of St. Cannat and Rognes were com pletely demolished and Lambas, which is 12 miles from Aix, suffered heavily. According to advices received from a number of places, wounded are still imprisoned in the ruins and soldiers are working desperately to rescue them. Survivors are finding shelter in tents. In many places the streets have been torn up and are encumbered by masses of rocks, making them impassable. Houses and public buildings were crum bled to pieces. Among ether villages seriously dam aged are Vauvenargues, Venelles, Pe- lssanne, Puy Ste Reparade and Ar- guilles. WAR LOOMS NEAR. Conflict With Germany Expected by All in England. JLiOndon, June 14. The amount of war talk one hears on every side in .London is perfectly amazing. The topic practically monopolizes conversa tion in political and Bocial circles, and it seems to be generally admitted, with a kind of fatalistic complacency, that sooner or later probably sooner the nruian ana uerman nations are going to ngnt it out. People at large are taking note of the growing seriousness of the situa tion, and many display acute nervous ness. One hears members of the American colony talk, half humoroutilw. perhaps, and yet with a certain serious ness, of getting back home beforo the Germans come. Harrv G.

Negoro, ono of the editors of the Jijf, mado formal complaint to the Japanese foreign 5fflce today that the territorial authorities invaded his righto as a Japanese sub ject under the treaty between Japan and tho United states wnon tin janer iff William Henry raided the office of the JHi and seized alleged incendiary documents; and is preparing to bring: court' proceedings against the territory for $500,000 damages. The alleged violation of his rights as a Japanese subject guaranteed under the treaty between the united states and Japan, he sets forth in his com plaint, consists in the search of, his office and the seizure of his private . ... . f j ? i ...t..2.iAI papers uy tne territorial suuiunucs without due process of law. Terri torial Sheriff William Henry adroit that the search was made by force of arms, and without searea warrants or process of law, but claims that the pa pers seized contained evidence of crim inal purpose. However he declares the ' courts af the territory are open tm Negoro for redress if he has been dans-aged. While but slight disturbance of any kind has occurred so far, the city is full of striking Japanese, and the ten sion is so great that orders were issued this afternoon for the full force of po lice to sleep at the police station to night, ready for any emergency. An incident of the day that threat ens a disturbance was the. chasing of a carrier of an "extra" of the Japanese newspaper Sbinpo, announcing the ar rest of the editors. The paper from the start has been opposed to the strike end among the papers Beizcd in the raid upon the office of the strike or gans, were letters containing threats against the life of its editor. Although the strikers have returned to work on the Ewa and Waialua plan tations it is not certain that they have abandoned the struggle. From the papers seized by Territorial Sheriff Henry it was seen that it was the orig inal plans of the Japanese to return to work at intervals to earn enough money to maintain the strike and by this method of workintr and again striking to wear out the planters by the uncertainty and irregularity of plantation operations. i RIFLE SHIPMENT FOUND.

The filibuster suspect steamer Nanticoke was lying near Franklin, and in the black water below tho Bteamer was her consort, the tug Dispatch. The revenue cutter Pimlico is block-. adiag the two suspects, and it is not believed that either could pass her even in the darknesa.

The Nanticoke is not built for deep sea navigation, but the dis patch could navigate far off Bhore and tbB officers in charge of the situation believe the plan of the filibusters was to transport the arms to another steamer at sea.
