H r husband was arrested but soon liberated. There was a storm of hoots, yells and :rlc. of "Panama." A bas Loubet" and "Vive l'Armee." A few shouts of "Vive Loubet" were drowned In the clamor. A strong force of police kept ord-r end arrested many of the disturbers, Irx-luding a man who tried to force his way to the president's carriage. During the s( oor.d race the clamor In creased to violence, and was plainly directed by a committee of the league of patriots collected with their suppor ters both before and behind the pre sidential stand, around which a formi dable affray proceeded. During the grand steeplechase many blows were struck, and several police men were injured In their endeavors to prevent an Invasion of the presiden tial stand. At the crisis of the excitement, while shouts of "Vive PArmee" and "Vive Deroulcde" were heard on all sides, Count Chrlstlanl rushed toward the president, brandishing a stick, nnd di rected a blow against htm, striking his hat. . The crowd rushed upon Chrlstlanl, who 'only escaped severe handling by being taken under police protection. President Loubet remained all the while quite unmoved, talking to the premier, while the officers of his mili tary household .were defending him against violence. Finally, after "0 arrests had been made, the prefect of police ordered the Republican guards to surround the presldental stand. The principal leaders cf the demon stration were Joseph Lastea, anti Semite and Nationalist, deputy for Gers, and Firmln Faure, anti-Semite and Nationalist, deputy for Oran, Al geria. Police Inspector Orllllere had his head seriously wounded In the melee, and President Loubet has since deco rated him with the cross of the 1-eglon of Honor In recognition of his devotion to duty. "Figaro" says the manifestation at Auteuil was prearranged by the Roy allsts, and that nt a meeting held by them Sunday morning some anti-Semites joined them. SBUJ.O BY THB ENEMY.

Third of ficer Fred Hcppy and Assistant Engi neer Charles Blandford rigged a sail on one of th ship's boats and went sailing along the shore on the south, opposite the Insurgent lines. The boat became becalmed near the shore, and some native canoes with Filipinos on board put out and captured the two men, who were unarmed, and also took possession of the boat. The U. 8. S. Monadnock sent a boat . . with a landing party ashore, under cover of her gunB, and shelled the shore briskly. The natives, however, rushed the prisoners Into the woods before the Monadnock's boat reached land. Persons on board several other ships saw the affair through glasses, but were unable to prevent the capture of the two rnen. American Chips Art Bettor Built. After the adverse criticism to which our naval designers were subjected some years ago because of a supposed lack of stability on the part of some of our gunboats they have been grati fied to ascertain from personal In spection that the standards In foreign navies are far below our own In this matter. A careful computation of tho quali ties of some of the warships purchased Just prior to the outbreak.' of the Spanish war has shown that the center of gravity la considerably higher .han In the case of what were believed to be the most faulty of the American built ships. Yet these foreign-built vessels behaved very well in active service during the war, and proved to be good gun platforms. Gnat Britain will Not Yield. Mrs. Maybrick, the American woman who Is serving a life sentence In an English prison for the murder of her husband, must remain In prison.

FILIPINOS ROUTED. Bpanlarde Predicted That tht Americana Cou'd Navtr Occupy Antipole Not a Shot Fired la Taking tht Town. A large band of Filipinos were re pulsed by lien. Hall last Bunday. The engagement took place 12 miles east of Manila, The Oregon reglmrnt, tho ravalry, the nrtlllery and the Fourth Infantry accomplished this task, driving the Insurgents from the hlllut the other trpnps being held In reserve, but af terward Joining the main column In pursuit toward the sea. A running light wns In progress all the afternoon. A Filipino outpost first attacked a few American snouts, whereupon the Fourth cavalry form ed a long skirmish line and easily drove the Insurgents Into the hills. Then the Oregon regiment moved across a Wft- soggy rlye field. In ex tended order, toward tlie hills, where It wns believed a Inrge force of the enemy had concentratud. When the Oregon Inns were within about a mile of the position the Filipinos opened a heavy lire, the Americans replying and pressing forward more rapidly. After a few volleys the Insurgents were seen scattering over the crest of the hills In every direction and their panic wus increased when the artillery opened upon them and the shollB be gan to explode all around them, un doubtedly causing great loss of life. The bombardment by the batteries and the musketry was maintained for nearly half nn hour, after which not a Filipino could be seen on the hills and not a shot came from the position. The heat wns Intense and the troops suffered greatly, but they continued on the trail taken by the fleeing enemy In the hope of driving them toward the lake. The slgnnl corps displayed admir able enterprise In laying w ires with the troops, but the native sympathisers cut them behind the army, even with in the American lines, Oen. Hall's objective point was An tlpolo, 10 miles off: and there was desultory firing all along the line of march. The gunboats could be heard shelling the hills In advance of the column. The column, after driving the rebels from the foothills nenr Maria Chlno, with a loss of but two or three slightly wounded, proceded with all possible haste toward Laguna de Bay, the Fourth cavalry In the lead, the Oregon regiment nnd the Fourth Infantry last. At S o'clock these three regiments fought their second battle of the dny, and It resulted, like the first, In the complete rout of a large Filipino force located In the mountnlns and having every advantage of position. In this fight the Amerlcnn loss was four killed three of the Fourth cavalry nnd one Oregonlnn and about 15 wounded. The Filipino loss could not be ascer tained, but the terrific fire which the Americans poured Into them for half an hour must have Indicted severe punishment. In this engagement our troops made one of the most gnllant charges of the war, and the enemy was forced to flee In the greatest dis order. The troops, after camping for the night on the battlefield, started at 5 Monday morning for Antlpolo, where It was expected a strong resistance would be made, Antlpolo Is a place far up In the mountains, which the Spaniards had said the Americans could never capture. It has cost Spain the lives of 300 troops. The progress of the column was considerably delayed while passing up the steep mountain grade by a small band of Insurgents; but these were effectually routed by the Fourth Cav alry, which wo In advance, and the troops reached Antlpolo In a few hours. Our lines were Immediately thrown around on three sides of the town, and then the final advance was made. But It was found unnecessary to fire a shot. Not a rebel waa visible, and the town waa entirely abandoned. Two hours later, after a conference between Gen. Lawton and Gen. Hall, the column proceeded toward Moron g to drive away any rebels found In that quarter. Killed bv s Drunken Soldier. Doe N. Tharpe, of Company A, Fifth Immunes, Wednesday shot and killed Aaron O.

Marlon Clark, the baby which waa kidnapped from her home In New York City two weeks ngo, has been found and restored to her mother. She was discovered Friday morning by Edwnrd Charleston In an obscure farmhouse a few miles east of Hloatsburg, New York. The child was found at the farm house of Charles Youmnns. She had been taken there by Mrs. Jennie Wil son, who brought her Inst Tuesday week, saying that she wanted bonrd for her for the summer. She made ar rangements to have her mall sent by way of St. Johns Postolllce, where sho called twice for letters during the past few days. Attention wns first attracted to the Woman anil child when they colled at the postolllce, the woman asking for mall for Mrs. Jenny Wilson. Mrs. Cnrey the postmistress, noticed the res"mblnnee of the child to the pic tures of Hnby Clark and she notified Deputy Sheriff William Charleston. Charleston secured a warrant nnd rode over to fit. Johns and arrested the Wil son woman and secured the child. Arthur Clnrk, the father of the ab ducted child, accompanied by Chief of Police Devcry nnd Cnpt. MeClusky, ar rived In New York City Friday night, bringing back the 20-months child which hnd been missing for 12 days. Hundreds of people were gathered be fore the Clark house and the party with tho baby lind to struggle through the frnntlo crowd. Mr. Clark rushed to meet his wife and the mother took the child In her arms nnd wept and sobbed. The crowd on the outside yelled to see the baby and Mr. Clark held the child up to the window, so that all could see It. This was greeted with great rheers, and then they cried for Mrs. Clark and the child, and they appeared. The stolen Infant Is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Clark, of 159 Kust Blxty-llflh street, and was ab ducted Sunday, May 21, by Carrie Jones, her nurse, a bright country girl of 20, who had been engaged the Mon day before. The nurse took the baby for an outing In Central park. About half an hour later Mr. Clark discov ered his baby carriage, but the nurse and child were nowhere to be seen. Soon after a boy brougut a bote to the Clark home, warning the parents to keep quiet If they wanted to see their baby again. The circumstances of the Clnrk fam ily would not permit them to offer a large reward for the child. Several of New York's newspapers took up the rase nnd a fund of $4,000 was offered for the return of the baby., Carrie Jones, the nurse who had charge of little Marlon Clnrk, was ar rested at Summit, N. J., Saturday. Her real name Is Bella Anderson. In a confession she snld thnt she hnd been a party to the abduction, that she hnd been led Into the scheme by George Beauregard linrrow and his wife Jen nie.

When Sam Hose was burned by a mob at Newnan, (la., prominent negroes of Chicago raised a fund and sent a local detective named levln to Investigate all the circumstances. Monday he reported that the burning of Hose was premeditated nnd was openly advocated by many of the lead ing men In the community as an ex ample to the colored people. He said he learned that while Hose actually killed Crnnfnrd, Mrs. Crnnford had ad mitted that the negro did not molest her In any way. One of the most astonishing charges made In his report Is that the railroad officials who made up a special train for the lynching party after the cap ture of Hose actually advertised the contemplated burning nnd sold tickets to people attracted by these advertise ments. Detective Levin said that the torture and hanging of the aged negro preacher, Elijah Strickland, were without a shadow of reason. FEVER IN HAVANA. Ftw Caaea at Compared With tht Reportt ol Prtvious Yeara, The sanitary department at Havana has Just iBsued some Interesting sta tistics regarding deaths from yellow fever during the last eight years. In the year 1890 there were only four. In 1891 there were 816; In 1892. 826; In 1893, 391; In 1894, 328; In 1S95, 410; In 1896, 1,617; In 1897, 1,050, and In 1898, 1C2. Thus far In the present year there have been only four deaths due to yel low fever. In 1890 and 1897 there were large numbers of Spanish soldiers In the province, unaccllmatlxed, and they auccumbed often to doubtful diseases. In making up the statistics, the prefer ence was always given to yellow fever, owing to the large pension that could be drawn In such cases by relatives of the diseased at home. From 1890 to 1898 Included the total number of deaths In the city of Ha vana from all diseases whatsoever was 89,703. Favor an American Colony. ' Information has been received In Washington that satisfactory results have attended the movement among members of the volunteer regiments In Manila for the establishment of a large American colony in the Philip pines.

Tht Vote of tht Court ol Caseation Stood Unani mously for Revision Faithful Wilt Sends a Meetaft to tht Prisoner. The cabinet council of France has decided that tho French second -class cruiser Bfax, now at Ft. do France, Martinique, should proceed Immediate ly and bring Dreyfus from the Isle of Devils to France. Tho cruiser Is expected to arrive at Brest about Juno 10, when Dreyfus will be handed to the military authorities and lodged In the mllttury prison at Rennes. His conviction having been annulled by the united chambers of the court of cassation, his military rank and ti tle are restored to him. He will occupy an olllcer's rabln on board the Sfax and will be allowed on deck from 1 to 4 o'clock every afternoon. The papers point out that the court of cassation voted unanimously for re vision and only debated the process whereby It should be carried out. The decree of the oiurt was com municated to Mme. Dreyfus at the house of M. Hadnmard, her father. She Immediately sent the following dis patch to her husband'. "The court of cassation proclaims re vision, with a new trial by court-martial, our hearts and thoughts are with you. Let us share your Immense hap piness. Tend, rest kisses from all." The court of cassation decided In fa vor of a new trial for Capt. Dreyfus. A court-martial has been ordered to sit at Rennes, sixty miles from Nantes for the trial. M. Ballot de Benupre summing Up before the court of cassation In favor '.'I VrPyr,J" a"ldlflod his Indictment of MaJ. Esterhnfcy, saying that one new fact, from a legal point of view, was the discovery thnt the bordereau was written upon precisely the same paper as thnt used by MaJ. Esterhnsy. The Judges In 1894 did not know this, and M. de Benupre declared that on his soul nnd conscience, accord inn to his conviction, the bordereau was written by Esttrhasy. He deplored the attacks of revisionists upon the army, but said thnt the honor of the nrmy wns not dependent upon the retention of an In nocent on Devil's Island. M. de Beaupre concluded: "I do not nsk you to proclaim the Innocence cf Dreyfus, hut," cried he, with profound emotion, "It Is with a firm conviction and a lively sense of my duty nnd re sponsibilities thnt I say there Is renson to grant revision of the trial of 194. nnd send Dreyfus for retrial before nnother court-martial whose task will be to give a decision with a full know ledge of the facts. 'My report Is end ed," said M. do Beaupre, while cries of "bravo" and other marks of applause filled the court room The Dally Chronicle of London savs thnt MnJ. Comte Ferdinand Wulsln Esterhnsy called at Its office the other evening, and, after declaring that the time hnd arrived when the whole truth should be told, although hitherto by reason of constant orders and Induce ments, he had kpt silence on the os sentlnl point, made the following Btntement : "The chiefs of the army hnve dis gracefully abandoned me. My cup is full nnd I shall speak out. "Yes (raising his voice and glaring around) It wns I who wrote the bor derenu. I wrote It upon orders re ceived from Snndhorr." Esterhnxy, the Chronicle says, then proceeded to explain that for months before 1S91 moral proofs had been ob tained of leakages which were only possible through officers belonging to the ministry of war, nnd It was neces sary to catch the guilty party by ma terial evidence. Hence the bordereau. DEWEY ADMIRES HOBSON. Sayt That tht Memmac Hero la Too Bashful and Modeet. Admiral Dewey seldom discusses men or events of the Spanish War, but now and then he says things full of pith nnd point. He allowed himself to talk of some of the affairs In the Cuban campaign to a correspondent a few days ago. Speaking of the splendid Merrtmao affair at Santiago, the hero of Manila aald of Lieutenant Hobson: "I like him. He is a brave man, dignified and modest. The trouble about Hobson Is that he takes life too seriously and Is bashful." The programme for the Olympla's voyngo to the United States has not been definitely decided upon. It hus been determined, however, to make a stop at the Piraeus, from which port Admiral Dewey will go to Athens to pay his respects to King George, of Greece. It is now announced that Admiral Dewey's flagship will leave June 6 and will arrive at Singapore on the 11th, where she will remain two or three days. Town Moved on Wheels. Mountain View, Okla., that was or ganised In a day, broke another record Monday. There has existed a rival town a mile and a half west, and It was deemed advisable to consolidate them. Oakdale, the rival, was pur chased outright for $34,380, and now Is on wheels and strung nut on the road to Mountain View. This is probably the first case of buying a whole town In the annals of the West. Spanish Prise a Costly Problem. The future of the captured Spanish cruiser Relna Mercedes Is atlll In doubt. The members of the board of naval bureau chiefs say it would cost nearly a quarter of a million dollars to fit her out and then she would not be of the best type. It has been sug gested that the cruiser be allowed to remaln at Norfolk navy yard until congress shall have decided what to do with her. CABLE FLASHES. Admiral Dewey whose health Is much Improved, sailed from Hong Kong Tuesday. The queen regent of Spain haa algned a decree appointing Marshal Marlines Campos to the presidency of the sen ate. Forty-five earthquakes In five houra occurred on May 17 on the Island of Montserrat, one of tba British West In dies. President Kruger and Sir Alfred Milner have arrived at Bloemfonteln to consider demands of Outlandera, Both were warmly welcomed. Mataafa, the deposed king of Samoa, was reported to be defying the Joint commission and threatening war If they should confirm the appointment of Tanu. Sir Augustus Pllington, Liberal, was elected in t-he Southport division of Southwest Lancashire to parliament over Unionist C. B. Balfour by Hi votea. Signor Chlnaglla, the ministerial candidate, was elected president of the Italian chamber of deputies by against 193 for Signor Zaoardelli, INSPECTOR'S REPORT. Men vtie Ponmerly Received Prom $4,000 t8,ooo a Year Now Striving fcr Petitions With Interior Workmen. n. D. Layton, United States Imml grant Inspector, has filed his report td T. V. Powderly, United States ImmlJ grant Commissioner. This Is tho first report of Its kind that has so far been) luado to the commissioner, and It ha4 many interesting bits of Information Inspector Layton has paid much at tentlon to labor and Its conditions During the past month he has giver tne Pittsburg Industrial field specla attention, both as regards skilled ami unskilled labor. While there Is nol lack of Inbor, his report shows a wand In both conditions. I One startling announcement n prominently brought to the front. Thi lnspectur claims that events, book keepers and high-salaried men gener-l ally are plentiful, but few of thc enn find employment on account of the formation of trusts, or combines, ns they are railed, and that there Ik1 a wnrm competition between superior and inferior people to get the best thnt Is going. During the past month the Insjectnr Interviewed two persons In the employ of concerns whose plants hnve since merged Into some trust oik other, with the result! ,!,,. t lw. .. . L. . . . . . I 1 .mi vyr-tn mruwii uui in trnif'K- tnent. These men were receiving frbm $4,000 to $0,000 a yenr. At the present time they have large bills staring them In the face with little prosnectri of paying them. The formation off trusts, It Is asserted, Is the cause ofV all this poverty and Inability to pro cure work. The report as a whole Is a blow at the trust movement, which seems nt the present time to be del uging the country.
