Muulln. Juno Hi. 5.I. p. m. After tutting tho railroad and telegraph at Apallt, seven miles south, for the pur poe of severing connection, the rebels attacked Oeneral MucArthur's linos at Han Fernando ui 4.30 this morning. They mot with an unexpectedly warm reception and were repulsed with a loss of T.'i killed, 30 prisoners and many wounded. The rebel force, estimated to have numbered live thousand men, advanced stealthily from the jungle north of the city and then divided vith tin .vldtnt purpose of surrounding the Americans. Thr outposts of the Towa regiment discovered the enemy and retired to their linos, where the entire division nu'illeii in an onttonched position. The Inun regiment and the Kansas regi ment received the first. shock of the at tach Reserving their fire until the enemy was within MO yards the first volb y of the Americans hit the rebels, who returned the tire wildly, the rest of their line falling to advance. The inefi ans, who thoroughly enjoyed th novelty of the situation, nw.iltins nn 'ittacK. sallied forth and the insur gents thereupon turned and lied Into the Jungle. our loss was 11 men wounded and the mnjotity of them an; only slightly hurt. Gcnerol Funston's brigade of Kansas and Montanas, and Oeneral Halo's bri gade, the Seventeenth regiment, and tlv Iowa regiment constituted tho force engaged. gtiinnldo is tepoi'tcd to have pcr "pall"' conducted the attack end prep-tjifc-' w-re made for several days to jjjfnrwiird troops from Cnndaba anuothers from Pagupan, were trans ported by rail. Along the front of the Kansas regiment, 3:i rebel dead were counted. The first news of the Filip ino advance was reported by a tele graph operator who was sent to the bridge at Apnlit to ascertain the cause of a break In one (if the wires. He was compelled to beat a hasty re treat under tire. A Spanish ofllcer, who has been a pilsoni-r tn the hands of the rebels and who was released by Agulnaldo, has come through our lines to Manila He claims to have been a witness of the assassination of General Luna. According to his story the relations between the two Filipino loaders had been strained to the bu-aklng point because of Luna's attempt to assume command of alVairs and the final rup ture was forced by Agulnaldo Issuing secret orders to the provincial govern ments. Luna thereupon notified Aguln nldo. demanding copies of the docu ments and Agulnaldo replied curtly that Luna was a general of the army and that the civil government did not concern him. Lumi, on opening the reply at his headquarters in the pre sence of his olllcers. exclaimed hotly: "He will be dead tomorrow." Agulnaldo Warned. One ofllcer, who was friendly to Agulnaldo, hastened to warn him, and Agulnaldo culled together twenty trusted soldiers, fellow-townsmen of his, and stationed them mound his house with Instructions to kill any one attempting to enter, regardless of rank. Luna appeared the next day and saw Agulnaldo at the winodw. A member of the guard said: "Agulnaldo lias gone to inspect the troops." Luna then exclaimed: "You're a liar," drew his revolver, struck the guard and tried to force an entranco into the house. Itefore he could use his rivolver one of the guards bnyon etted him. another shot him In the back and other stabbed hint. In all he had twenty wounds. Luna's aide do camp win killed In the same way. The Spaniards' story has not entirely dispelled the doubts of Luna's death and bets that he Is alive are freely made at the clubs. Some people think Agulnaldo has taken pains to send the Spaniard hero with his story for -tho furtherance of some diplomatic scheme, while others suspect Agulnaldo lias been assassin ated by Luna's men. Since the Ameri cans withdrew from Cnndaba recently the rebels have returned and have wreaked vengeance upon those who be friended the Americans. Thev slaught ered the natives who surrendered tho town nnd displayed their heads on poles In tho public square. Tho hostile natives of Cebu are more menacing.

Tho stock consisted of about 400,000 pounds of tobacco of all kinds and grades nnd about 2,000,000 cigars, besides the ap paratus of the factory, liverythlng was disposed of.

Tho Hague, June 1C The drafting committee for the arbitration trlbunnl seliemo, which should have met today, adjourned its sitting to Monday next.

Bolla Anderson Sent to Prison for Four Yoars Judge Expressed Re gret That tho Law Prevented Him from Giving the Chief Kidnapper the Full Penalty Only Two Months Cut Off, However Jury Out Only Half an Hour. New York, June 10. C.eorgo Beaure gard Harrow, at 12.30 o'clock p. in. to day, was found guilty of having kid napped Marion Clarke. Tho Jury was out only half nn hour. Five minutes after the verdict was rendered Justice Fursman (sentenced him to Imprison ment In the state prison at Sing Sing for tho term of fourteen years and ton months. Immediately after Harrow had been led out of the court room Justice Fursman sent for Holla Anderson. He sentenced her to Imprisonment In tho state prison at Auburn for four yoars. When the twelve men came filing In to the Jury box. In front of which Har row sat, he shaded his eyes. When ordered to stand tin and face the Jury he obeyed mechanically, his eyes stray ing about ns if afraid to fall upon tho men who were waiting to declaro their verdict. There was a moment of sllonco. Then the elderly clerk, adjust ing his spectacles, asked In a ringing voice: "Gentlemen of the Jurv, have you agreed upon a verdict?" "We have." replied the foreman. "What say you?" asked tho cleik; "do you llnd the prisoner at the bar, George IS. Hat row, otherwise known ns Keauregurd. otherwise known as Wil son, guilty or not guilty?" "Guilty," said the foreman In a mat ter of fact way. Harrow's eyes dropped. Ho walked up to tho bar with a firm step and gave his pedigree In n clear, sonorous voice. Then Justice Fursman imposed the sentence, counsel for the defense not objecting or asking for any delay. "Harrow, I have no doubt that you have tho entire guilt of this crime," began Justice Fursman, looking at the prisoner from under his brows. "It was you who Instigated the two women to commit this crime. I think I ought to make an example of you, and I am going to do It." Harrow looked straight ahead, breath ing heavily. "The extreme penalty for the atro cious crime of which you have been Justly convicted Is Imprisonment for fifteen years." continued the court. "I should give you the full sentence were It not my duty to compute "the time so as to enable you to be released between the months of April and November. As it Is I sentence you to he confined In the state prison at Sing Sing for tho term of fourteen years and ten months." Harrow drew a heavy breath. Pers piration started on his forehead nnd bis face suddenly seemed to have gtnwn much darker and sodden. Ho 1 walked down the aisle firmly, however, ' and while nt the door of the prisoners' pen ho shook hands with a friend and j whispered in his ear. j Bella Anderson's Sentence. I There was some delay before Hella Anderson was brought In to be sen I tenced, and ponding her appearance, , District Attorney Gardiner moved the i trial of Mrs. Harrow for next Monday. Justice Fursman, however, said that the trial could not take place before him, ns ho had to leave tho city. It was decided that the second kidnap ping trial would be presided over In justice Werner. At last, after some more delay, there was a stir. "She Is coming, she Is coming," passed from spectator to spectator. The outcome of tho trial of Harrow nnd the heavy sentence ho received wore foregone conclusions. The fule of the muse girl, on thu other hand, was the subject of much speculation. Kellu Anderson looked extremely pale and frightened. It seemed as It she could hardly walk and when she reached tho bar she clutched at It and sighed. Abraham Levy, her counsel, pleaded for mercy. "She Is a sick, consumptive girl, ho said, "and a long sentence might prove fatal to her. We ask for clem ency In view of this nnd also In view of her confession. She stnnds here contrite nnd patient, your honor. When she offered to tell tho whole truth she did so of her own freo will. We made no conditions to tho district attorney. She is sorry she committed tho crime and begs for mercy." Justice Fursman agreed that Hella Anderson had only been a tool In tho hands of people who persuaded her to steal tho child, and whom she did not have the power to resist because they befriended her. "I was greatly Impressed by the testimony of tho girl on the witness Bland," he continued. "Sho told tin truth and I felt that she was sincerely sorry for what she had done. The sentence of the court is that you, Hella Anderson, shall be confined In tho state prison ut Auburn for the term of four years," Mr. Clarke, the father of the kid napped baby, who had been listening to the judgo with feverish attention, seemed disappointed. When Hella Anderson was conducted out of tho court room she was ghastly pale and her eyes were full of tears. Spring Clean Up of Dust. Toeoma. Wash., June pi.

North Sydney, U. C Juno 10. The most appalling disaster In the history of Cape Hreton coal mining occurred early this morning at the Caledonia mine at Glace Hay, the principal col liery of the Dominion Coal company, when two explosions occurred, causing the death of eleven men.

DONALD MARTIN. WILLIAM SIMPSON. MALCOLM M'AFLKY. ROY (i. MACDOIKJALL. ARTHUR GRANT. The explosion occurred In tne west pit at a depth of about three-quarters of a mile and was caused by gas which hud accumulated In the old workings. The- full force of men employed In tin; mine at night Is about 100, hut the night shift had slopped work and all but about sixty had left the mine. There was scarcely an intermission be tween the concussions. The tlrst was a dull boom- Then there wns u rum bling noise like an earthquake, suc ceeded by a deafening, prolonged and awful roar, which reverberated among the hills for miles and tho shock of which scattered glass In every direc tion In the InunedlntL- vicinity of tho disaster. The meaning of the sound was well understood throughout the mining district and anxious people flocked to the mine entrance. Koforo they arrived, suffocating volumes of coal smoke began to pour out, show ing that fire had followed the explo sion. The oflldals of tho mine were umong the tlrst to reach the shaft. A tally of the men showed that some three score were missing, but soon af ter all but eleven of the men appeared, having escaped by a slope. The Work of Rescue. The work of rescue wus promptly undertaken and pushed with vigor. The rescuers were confronted with many dllllcultles. Down below a pitchy darkness prevailed, lighted by occa sional brilliant bursts of tho confla gration raging through the pit. Tho lamps of the icsculng party shed fi'eblo gleams and the volunteers groped their way down Into the mine, the poisonous gases almost choking them. After a brief time a body was brought up, then another und another, until eleven had come to the surface. Nono of them were mangled, but all were blackened. The bodies were laid side by side In the larro room in the olllco building. Men and women crowded In to the place and the identifications were nccompanled by most pitiful scenes. The fire In the mine gained great headway despif! the oi'fovtd to check It. The mine Is badly wrecked. The coal In the mine did not take tiro gen I orally, but the timbering was nearly all i destroyed. The Caledonia mine was ! sold to the Domtnlon Coal company by I Senator McKeen, tho present general manager of tho company. It supplies coal for gas mimosas, and has been producing on an average of 2,000 tons per day, much of whlcn was Intended for uxport for the fiverott Gas and Coko works in Massachusetts. Tho mine was equipped with tho most mod ern machinery. Dr. Gilpin, the deputy commissioner of the works and mines, who happened to be In Cape Hreton, will Investigate the cause of the disaster on behalf of the province. TRAIN HOLD UP.
