The Filipino Leader or Hia Adjutant Shot COMPANIONS TOOK HIM AWAY Richly Caparisoned Horse Was Left, With Saddle-Bags Containing In surgent's Diary and Papera. Vlagn, Luzon, via Manila, June 5. Major March, with his detachment ol the Thirty -third regiment, overtook what is believed to have been Agui naldo't party on May 19, at Lagat, about 100 miles northeast of Yigan. Tho Americans killed or wounded an officer, supposed to be Aguinaldo, whose body was removed by his fol lowers. Aguinaldo had 100 men, Majoi March 125, the American commander reaching La Boagan, where AguinaK'io had made hia headquarters since March 6, on May ?. ' Aguinaldo had fled seven hours before leaving all th beaten trail! and traveling through the forest along the beds of streams. Toward evening, May .19, Major March struok Agui naldo's outpost about a mile outside ol Lagat, killing four Filipinos and cap turing two. From the latter he learned that Aguinaldo had camped there foi the night, exhausted and half starved. Major March's men entered Lagat on the run. They saw the insurgents scat tering into the bushes or over the pla teau. A thousand yards beyond thf town, on the mountain side, the figvrret of 25 Filipinos dressed in white with their leader on a gray horse were silhouetted against the sunset. Th Americans fired a volley and saw thf officer drop from his horse. Hia fol lowers fled, carrying the body. Th Americans, on leaohing the spot caught the horse, which was rich, saddled. Blood from a badly woundf man was on the animal and on th ground. The saddle bags contains Aguinaldo's diary and some privat papers , including proclamations. On of these was addressed: "To the Civ ilized Nations." It protested againf the American occupation of the 1'hlli) pines. There was also found copies . Senator Beveridge's speech, translate into Spanish and entitled: "The Deat Knell of the Filipino People." Major March, believing that th' Filipinos had taken to a river which ! a tributaty of the Chico, followed it fo: two days, reaching Tiao, where he learned that a party of Filipinos hat descended the river May 20 on a raft with the body of a dead or woundec man upon a litter, covered with palm leaves. There Major March reviewed his command, shoeless and exhausted, and picked out 24 of the freshest men, with whom he beat the surrounding country for six days longer, but with out finding any trace of the insurgents. The Americans pushed on, and arrlvec at Aparri, May 29. The officer shot was either Aguinaldo or his adjutant, and as the horse was richly caparisoned, it is fair presump tion that it was Aguinaldo. STILL FAR FROM QUIET. Several Disturbances by the St. Louli Car-Strikers. St. Louis, June 6. -A riot of smal proportions, during the progress o which a boy was fatally shot and ' dynamite explosion occurred, marre what would have otherwise been ai nneventful Sunday.

More than the usual quota of polk was furnished today for the protectio of passengers and crews, and as a rt suit the number of cars on the varion lines of the Transit Company wa materially increased.

Fifteen gendarmes and two cavalrymen were injured. The trouble is not j nded. PLAQUE SITUATION. Chines of San Francisco Stnte Their Grlevanoes lu Detail. San Francisco, June 2. Referring to quarantining of Chinatown, the attor neys for the Chinese Six Compuuies have made the following statement: "We shall do nothing precipitantly in the way of litigation, and therefore we do not coutemplate making an ap plication to the courts at this time for any order to modify or hinder the oper ations of the board of health. "A cause of oonsidorable uneasiness among the inhabitants of Chinatown is the lack of quarantine regulations thus far observed within the quarantined distriot. The general quarantine order keeps 20,000 people within a pre scribed district, and that a compara tively samll district. Iu this district It is not claimed that there are or ever have been more than nine or ten cases. The contention made by the people who re subject to the quarantine is that if it is necessary to quarantiue this num erously populated district, it is tho duty of the board of health to go furth er ma nii'w"" or solate the houses 8n.m tfv- fn ;n th lie 2 2 1 4 (th ) ,e il & mat the house was doomed, dragged out a brother and a sister, who were intent on rushing through the fire to their mother.

A free dispensary at 610 West Eighteenth street, said to be conducted by medical students, was attacked today by a crowd cf in furiated Bohemians and Lithuanians, and before the police arrived in re sponse to a riot call, the building was badly damaged. Today a boy disap peared, and his boy companion report ed that he had been waylaid and killed by the doctors. In a few moments a mob of several hundred people was at work demolishing the building. The police arrived and several arrests were made before the crowd was dispersed. Later the missing boy was found un harmed. Flags Under Control. Chicago, June 2.

Reports from Ketchikan, Alaska, brought tare by , Portland men, toll of a new gold camp that has sprung up near Ketchikan, at -a place called Port Johnson, but here after to be known as Dolomite, where a postoffice has been established by tha United States. The pla?e takes its name from the dolomite formation that abounds and some rioh veins of free milling quartz have been discovered. Discovered by Portland Men. The first discoveries at Dolomite are claimed by Portland men, and the first mine ready to ship ore is owned by Portlanders, J. B.Capp, A. B. Eardley, W. F. Sohedd and others, who are proud of thoir Valparaiso group. From tide water to the mine, about one mile, a road is being built. The ledge of this property is about seven feet wide, runs cast and west and some as ays show upwards of 133 ounces ot gold and 68 ounoes of silver to the ton. Ore shipments will boign in about one month. Other Good Properties, Another mine near Dolomite Is the Golden Fleece, and the 100-foot tun nel run into the ledge has produced good results. Dunn & Company, own ers of this mine, are building a tram way from the town out to the mine, and will also run another tunnel 800 foot below the first, cutting the ledge. On the beauty group a 40-foot shaft has been sunk on the vein. The own ers, J. A. Preston and O. C. demons. have brought some hoisting and pump ing machinery from Seattle for this mine and will sink another shaft auJ cross-cut the lede. Bonded Three Clnl-ns. Three claims in the Dolomite camp, not far from the Golden Fleece, have been bonded by Judge Munloy, of Port land, for $30,000, and development work will be pushed at once by R. L. Dunn. Judge Munlcy's personal repre sentative on the ground is Major Free man, ol Portland. This new mining settlement, now known as Dolomite, is situated on the east shore of Prinoe of Wales island, 28 miles south of Ketchikan, Alaska, and is thought to be in a rich mineral coue. Will Build a Stamp Mill. James Bowden, superintendent ol the Craokorjack mino, near Ketchi kan, was at Portland last wook arrang ing for machinery for a stamp mill on the property, as the mine is worth it, with a three-foot vein of rich ore along the surafce for a distance equal to three claims, between walla of slate and por phery, and recent assays demonstrate the mineral to be worth around $100 to the ton. The mine 1b located with in throe miles of a good harbor and In dians have been employed to carry out ore at $2.50 per day. They work all right unitl a few dollars have been earned, then quit and spend thuii money. Ketchikan Is a Trading Center. Trade for a distance of 60 milos in all directions seeks Ketchikan and the town is able to provide for the ordinary needs of the peoplo. The town is grow ing and soenis to be satisfied with the prospects for the future. The Nome rush has not affected this camp and aa mining goes on the year round, there is reasonable permanency to the busi ness interests. Numerous . canneries are operated in the neighborhood every summer, having a fair run of fish for the two months of ths busy season, July and August. GALICE CREEK DISTRICT. Reeves & Williams, who own the Cold Spring copper mine, in the Galice Creek district, are pushing develop ment work on their property. A large amount of ore is on the dump which as says well, both in gold and copper, says the Medford, Ore., Mail. The ledge is clear cut, well defined, has perfect walls, and there is indication that it will prove to be a permanent an valuable property. BURNT RIVER MINES. The Burnt River Cssld Mining and Dredging Company coiitemplatos building a $75, 000 electrio plant on its property, with 600-horse power capacity, for operat ing the mills, hoists and lighting the tunnels and shafts of the mines. This is one of the large properties of East ern Oregon, embracing large quarts claims and placer grounds. WILL OPEN NEW COAL MINE. V. .1. fliirurin nf T,n AmmlaH. him ar ranged to open a large coal mine near Coos City, Ore., says the riews of that city, with water shipping facilites, and if necessary a shaft will go down 1,000 feet. FURNACES WILL START. Fur nace operations will soon begin at the Black Butte mines, near Cottage Grove, Ore., and instead of working 40 men, as now, a large inorease will be the re sult. PRODUCING GOLD. The old Henry Wines claim, near M6dford, Ore., that created big excitement in 1866, is still a good producer and the winter's clean-up has been very profit able. BEEF FOR NOME. A steamer load of cattle went from Portland this week for the Nome gold sifters. ELECTRIC PLANT. Funds for the electrio plant and dam at Swan falls, on the Snake river, in Idaho, are avail able, and tho Consolidated Trade Dol lar Mining Company expects to gener ate enough power for its mills and mines, besides lighting all the prop erty. NEW COMPANY. The Jersey Gold Mining & Milling Company, capital $160,000, is a new one at Baker City, having mining proverty near by. I; r ;V poiiea among 15 candidate!.
