Prepared for Aetlou.
St. Louis, June 12. The day just
ended has been ono of the most event
ful and bloody since the great strike on
the Kit. Louis Transit began more than
a month ago. There were numerous
eucounters between strikers and other
individuals and the constituted author
ites, resulting in four deaths and the
woundiug of five or more pesons,
mostly strikers. The dead are:
C. Edward Thomas, striking con
ductor on the Choteau avenue line;
shot in breast by deputy sheriff; died
on the wav to hospital.
George Rine, striking mo tor man on
Del mar avenue line; shot in abdomen
by deputy sheriff; died at city hospital.
Fred Boehrn, aged citizen, shot and
"" Is
.... buUO tU j'.HRt St. Louis earlier in
the day to attend a picnic given for
their benefit, and toward evening began
returning home. The trouble was pre
cipated when 150 strikers in uniform
and headed by a drum corps, came west
on Washington avenue. In their caps,
some of them had cards bearing these
words: "Union or nothing; liberty or
death."
Just as they were passing the bar
racks, a car of the Park avenue division
was going west. A number of the
men broke from the line and rushed for
the car which was without the usual
police guard. A brick was thrown
through the car window and a shot was
fired by somebody not known.
At the first intimation of trouble the
sheriff's posse swarmed from the build
ing and surrounded the crowd of strik
ers, calling on them to disperse. Other
shots were fired. Then several depu
ties turned loose theii repeating shot
guns, loaded with buckshot. As far as
can be learned only four men in the
strikers' ranks were hit. Not a deputy
was wounded.
Under the command of Colonel Cav-
ender, the deputies arrested 20 of the
strikers and took them into the barracks,
where they were searched. Three re
volvers and a number of pooket knives
were secured, and the prisoners were
taken to the Four courts, where they
were locked up pending an investiga
tion. The remainder of the strikers
fled, followed by a squad of mounted
police that had been summoned. They
dispersed without further trouble.

OOM PAUL TALKS.
Cerreipondent Found Him In Cur at
Mai-hnriodorp.
London, June 11. The exeutive
offices of the Transvaal government are
in a railway car, which is shuuted on
a switch at Machadodorp. President
Krnger caused the interior of the coach
to be reconstructed some time ago,
with a view to contingencies that have
now arrived. A correspondent of the
Daily Express, who went from Lou-
renco Marques to see President Krnger,
was received yesterday. The presi
dent sat smoking a long pipe. He
looked worried, but his bearing itself
was quiet and determined. lie did
not make the least objection to being
interviewed. The correspondent was
equipped for the interview by cables
from London.
"Yes," said President Kruger, "it
is qnite true that the British have oc
cupied Tretoria. This, however, does
not end the war. 1 lie burghers are
fully determined to fight to the last.
They will never surrender so long as
500 armed men remain in the country.
I feel encouraged by the fine work
Steyn and Dewet are doing in the Free
State."
The correspondent suggested that the
war was over, inasmuch as the capital
bad been taken.
"The capital," exolaimed President
Kruger, with energy, "what is a capi
tal? It does not consist of any particu
lar collection of bricks and mortar.
The capital of the repnblio, the seat of
the government, is here in this car.
Theie is no niagio about any special
site. Our country is invaded, it is
true, but it is not conquered. The
government is still effective."
Referring to the reason why he left
Pretoria, President Kruger said:
"I was not foolish enough to be
taken prisoner. I provided this means
of locomotion precisely for the same
reason as our burghers supply them
selves with horses when they take the
field. .It is necessary that I should be
able to move quickly from place to
place. That is all. Bye and bye this
car will take me back to Pretoria. For
the present, it enables me to keep
away from Pretoria, where I could be
of no sevrice and where I should only
play into the hands of the enemy."
RUSSIA WANTS MORE MONEY
In Need of More Caah to Complete the
Trane-Caucaalan Line.
New York, June 11. The advices
from London that M. Rothstein, a well-
known financier of St. Petersburg,
would soon arrive in this country, with
a view to looking over the situation
here as an agent of his government and
determining whether or not a large
Russian loan could be floated in the
United States, are said by leading for
eign bankers in this city to be acourate
Whether or not M. Rothstein shall
ultimately be successful in his mission
however, it is not believed by promi
nent local financiers that he will be
able to place a loan of any magnitude
in the United States for the next few
months, until the presidential campaign
shall be ended.
It may be remembered that in Feb
ruary of this year, the Russian imper
ial government negotiated a loan of
$15,000,000 with a syndicate of New
York banks, trust companies an insur
ance companies. In exchange for
their money the syndioate receive four
per cent bonds, guaranteed principal
and interest by the Russian govern
ment and secured by a first mortgage
on the Wladikawkos railway system.
The loan now sought is also for rail
way construction, according to a Wall
street man intetrested in the February
operation, who said:
"M. Rothstein, president of the Rus
sian Imperial Bank of St. Petersburg,
and one of the government's trusted
agents is, I have been informed, com
ing here to get money for the Russian
trans-Caucasian railway. This is one of
the longest roads in the world and is
not completed by any means. Money
is needed. M. Rothstein is coming
from London here, and is going to
Washington to see the Russian minis
ter, through whom all negotiations are
to be made."
The London report also said that a
large Russo-American bank might be
established here as an outcome of M.
Rothstein's visit, but this is regarded
by high authorities here as exceedingly
unlikely.

volcano is located on the Dedicas rocks,
Babuyan islands, near where the cruis
er Charleston was lost. The Leelanaw
passed within three miles of the rocks,
and clouds of steam were observed com
ing from the crater. The waters abou
the islands were also troubled.

London, June 13. Lieutenant-Gen-Ira
I Sir Frederick Forestier-Walker,
in coinniaud uf the lines of comuiuni
tatiou in South Africa, reports that in
the disaster to the British troops on
June 7, at Roodeval, where the Boers

aounded to the British. Officers killed
ere: Lieutenant-Colonel Baird-Doug-asa
and Lieutenant Hawley. The
wounded included Colonel Wilkinson
md Lieutenant Blanchard, of the Cami
lian infantry. Forestier-Walker's dis
patch in full is as follows:
"Cape Town, June 13. The follow
ing telegram has been received from
Dolonol Knox: 'Krooustad The fol
lowing casualties are reported from
Uoodeval, under date of Rhenostei
river, June 8, received here by flag ol

are prisoners, except six of the rank
and file, who are in his camp. All the
wounded are in his camp, lately occu
pied by the Fourth Derbyshires. In
quiries aro being made as to the

It is inferred the Boeni captured over
500 men, and as late as June 10, held
positions cutting off the British forces
north of Krooustad from reinforce
ments. APPEALS TOTHE POWERS.

London, June 13. The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Daily Express, tele
graphing yesterday soys:
"Weng Tung Ho, Emperor Kwang
Hsu's tutor and confidant, who was
dismissed by the dowager empress after
the coup d'etat in 1808, sends, with
the special sanction of the emporor and
his party, including three viceroys, a
message to the people of the West. It
is in part as follows:
'"His majesty is convinced through
ample trustworthy sources, that the
loyal support of many scores of mil
lions of the Chinese will be aocorded to
his proposals for putting an end to the
state of anarchy brought about by the
action of the Empress Hsi Tsi. The
government of China being virtually
non-existent, the emperor proposes that
the foreign powers, whose troops dom
inate the capital, shall remove his ira
periul person from the palace; in which
Ills majesty is confined a prisoner;
shall declare Empress Hsi Tsi and her
present ministers to be usurpers, and
shall bring Emperor Kwang Su to Nan
kin, Wu Chang or Shanghai, which
ever the said foieign powers deem to
be the most suitable situation for the
new capital of the Chinese empire un
der the new conditions. It is proposed
by his majesty and his advisers that
the foreign powers should declare a
joint protectorate and undertake the
task of governing the country through

PLANS FOR CARNAGE
Dlacloaed by Sundry Filipino Docu
ment! Captured.
Manila, June 13. The great store of
insurgent documents discovered by
General Funstou, together, with the in
teresting papers which Captain Smith
found iu the possession of General Pan
taloon Garcia, throw interesting eirio
lights upon the Filipino government.
Most important of the lot is Agvinaldo's
plan for the uprihiug of Manila, which
was drawn by Mm at Malolos, is in his
own handwriting in Tagalog language,
and bears the date January 9, 18ft).
Pinned to the document was a transla
tion into Spanish done in the hand of
Bnencamino. Aguinaldo's order Whs
addressed to his "valiant sandatihans"
or bolo men. When the word for the
uprising was given they were to slay
all American soldiers in Manila. The
inhabitants were to repair to the house
tops, whence they were to hurl down
upon the insurgents heavy furniture
and any iron implements they mitiht
have, heated rod hot. They were alfO
to have ready in their houses hot wator,
which was to be thrown upon passing
soldiers, or squirted at them from bam
boo syringes. The women aud children
were exhorted to help in preparing the
water and boiling oil, which they were
to pass out to the men for use. After
ward the bolo men were to run through
the streets slashing Amoricuus wher
ever they met them. They were in
structed not to stop to pick up the gnus
of the soldiers they killed, those could
be collected afterward. The bolo men
were warned to restrain themselves
from the temptation to looting, be
cause, as Aguiualdo explained, he was
particular desirous to make good in the
eyes of foreign nations his assertions
that the Filipinos were disciplined and
civilized people. Particular injunc
tions were given for protecting the
banks, even the Spanish bank.
MAY GET A NEW TRIAL.
Man and Woman Now Nerving Life Sen
tence! for Murder.
Topeka, Kan., June 13. The supreme
court has reopened the celebrated mur
der cases of George Dobbs and Mrs.
Amelia New, now serving life sentence
in the Lansing penitentiary for the
murder, near Eureka, in 1807, of
Joseph New, the woman's husband.
The court has granted a writ of coram
nobis, which is, in effect, an order to
the district court to hear the applica
tion for a new trial, which the lower
court had refused.
Dobbs and Mrs. New were convicted
two years ago. The theory was that
they were iu love, and conspired to get
rid of New, so they might marry.
Aftor they had been in the penitentiary
for some time, Alvin Ballard, sent up
for horse stealing, asserted that he
could prove that Dobbs and Mrs. New
were innocent. Ballard said Frank
Allgood, now in the penitentiary for
forgery, William Turner and he were
the real murderers. Ballard told the
story in detail, saying he belonged to a
robber band organized by Allgood, and
told the officers where they oould find
many stolen horses and vehicles. Bal
lard was taken from the penitentiary
to verify his assertions, and aided the
officers in recovering much stolen prop
erty," On the strength of this evidence,
application for a hearing in the cases
of Dobbs and Mrs. New was 'made be
fore the district court of Greenwood
county, where they were convicted, but
the motion was refused. Now that the
supieme court has overruled the lower
courts' decision, the motion for a new
trial will be heard at once.
STRIKERS' PLANS.
St. I.ouU Car Men Will Spend 1 00,000
to Equip an Elaborate 'Bua Syetem.
St. Louis, June 18. The Central
Trades and Labor Union proposes to
establish a bus line in St. Louis, to
compete with and run parallel to the
lines of the St. Louis Transit Company,
on which there is -a strike, to be oper
ated by union men. At a medtiug at
Walhalla hall last night, the first step
was taken toward this end by the
adoption of a resolution to raine ut
least $100,000 to purchase and equip
the neceHsary bus system .
From the resolution adopted and the
declarations of the speakers, hence
forth the policy will be to win the
strike, if possible, on the basis o' a
general boycott, which in all of its
ramifications is to reach to almost
every industry in the city. The fare
on a bus for a distance equal to that
traversed by the street-car line will be
five cents.
Monday opened quiet, after a reign
of terror. With one exception, all the
street-car lines are in operation.
A revise list of casualties makes the
list of dead three, fatally wounded
one, and 10 wounded.
