ADMIRAL DEWEY

OF INSURGENTS
They Have Great Confidence
in the Admiral.
THE GENERALS ABE FEARED
Unwillingness to Disarm Caused bj
Fear of the Withdrawal of Ameri
can Protection.
London, Aug. 23. The Associated
Press learns that the Philippine junta in
London received a dispatch from Manila
yesterday announcing that matters there
are rapidly quieting down, and that the
friction between Aguinaldo and. the
Americans is disappearing.
According to the junta's advices, the
insurgents for a time regarded General
Merritt and General Anderson as Marti
nets, and feared they would adopt harsh
methods, like the Spaniards, toward the
Filipinos; but. the insurgents from the
first have had the greatest confidence in
Admiral Dewey, whom they regard as a
sort of father and the most important
American at Mauila. The junta is satis
fied that all friction will soon disappear
and there will be no trouble from the
insurgents if the Americans decide to
retain the Philippines.

Oregon.

Captain Lloyd Clark, keeper of the
United States lighthouse supply station
at St. Joseph, has received a telegram
from his brother, Captain Clark, of the
battleship-ship Oregon, now at Mon
tauk Point, L. I., in which he stated
that he was convalescent and that his
physician says bis condition is much
improved by the few day's rest he had
since leaving bis ship. Captain Clark
eays the quarantine will be raised today
and be will then proceed to the Brook
lyn navy hospital, where be will pass a
medical examination.
. In view of the fact that he will prob
ably be detained several days at the
Brooklyn hospital, Captain Clark has
asked his family to proceed to New
York and meet him there. After a pos
sible short stop at Washington, the par
ty will then come direct to St. Joseph
where the captain will spend several
days visiting his brother and other rela
tives and friends.
Lloyd Clark does not regard his
brother's condition as serious, and
thinks by the time his six months' fur
lough has expired he will have regained
hia usual state cf health.
A DISASTER
IN A TUNNEL
Cave-in Catches a Party of Laborers,
Eight of Whom are Killed, While
Two are Fatally and Three Ser
iously Injured.
Pittsburg, Aug. 23. Eight men were
killed, possibly 10, and five injured, two
fatally, at the Carnegie tunnel on
Chartier's division of the Panhandle
railroad last night. The accident was
due to the wall of the tunnel caving in.
The dead are: John Jones, foreman;
Felix Mills, a laborer, and six unknown
foreigners.
Sixty-eight men were engaged in tear
ing out the tunnel just west of Carnegie.
Last night the men had fixed a rope to
pull down the west wiiil, and were pre
paring to drill boles lor blasting. Sud
denly the wall fell over on them, and
every man standing at that end of the
big excavation was buried alive. The
other workmen at once began the work
of rescue.
Most of the men employed on the
work are Italians. They go by numbers
instead of names, and nothing is known
of their relations. Their fellow-work
men were too busy this morning seek
iug for more dead to identify any of the
bodies.

The dead are :
Victor Tensey, aged 21, St. Louis.
William Chichester, aged 21 year?,
Jersey City.
The injured are:
Henry Fulaeki and Peter BurnB.
The company to which the men be
longed was in a special train which bad
taken them aboard at Tampa. At the
Ridge-avenue station a large crowd
waved bats and handkerchiefs as the
train came along. The soldiers leaned
from out the car windows and steps and
returned the welcome. Tensey stood
far out on a lower step and failed to no
tice the iron girder supporting the
bridge. His face was completely crushed
in. The other men had been leaning
from the windows.

inst., and arrived in the vicinity of Gi
bara on the 16th. Before entering the
port she hoisted a flag of truce. The
United States gunboat Nashville, which
was in port, inquired if she carried doc
uments for the American ship. The Is
abel answered in the negative, and sig
naled that the peace protocol had been
signed. The news was received on board
the Nashville enthusiastically, the crew
cheering and shouting. When the Isa
bel entered the port an American officer
boarded her and informed her that the
town was in the hands of General Cal

It is reported that General Garcia, af

administrator, slapping his
face and afterward ordering a negro to
beat him with a machete. It is also said

Gibara merchants. The merchants re

double the amount he had at first ex
acted. Garcia also ordered the arrest of 1400
Spanish residents, who were liberated
after the arrival of the Isabel. It is re
ported that Garcia resigned on the 19tb,
