Constabulary agents who are mem

the plans for an upri-iiig, thus enabl
ing a force of oon-tiibulnry and po
lice to disperse gatherings nt Ilaguin

American sailor seized chairs when
a force of Filipino approached a
dance hall in which they were gath
ered, ami using the chairs as weapon-,
routed the Filipino, of whom
quite a number were injured.
The rising was evidently poorly or
ganized and lacked leaders. It was
composed for the most part of per
sons implicitly trusting the word of
Artcinio Riearte, a revolutionary who
conducts n continual propaganda
