FILIPINO PROCLAMATION.
Americana Accused of All Sorts of Atroel
ties AsaurancM of Continued War.
MANILA, Aug. oV-Miguel Mnlvnr,
who has been recognised as the successor
nf Agnliialdu by the Filipino junta at
Hong' Kong, has issued a pris'laniatinn
dated July 111, copies of which arrived
here yesterday, giving assurances to the
natives of the coutiuiintion of an active
campaign and expressing hope for its
successful issue. The proclamation, of
which ft Ml" I copies have been printed,
purports to emniiatc from Itataniias.
It is a characteristic insurgent docu
ment, charging the Americans with all
sorts of ntmcitics. It recounts the lossi-s
nf guns nnd niiiniiinitlon and the death of
four distinguished American otHiers, July
10, all of which, it says, the authorities
concealed. The proclamation threatens
General Cailles with death for treach
ery, and warns all Filipinos who surren
der that they will never be nlde to livo
outside the American lines. Mulvcr
claims he has sulucicnt arms and supplies
to continue the tiglititu; indefinitely.
The American ollieinls believe the proc
lamation was really written by Agon
cilln (the former representative of Agul
niildo in Europe) nt Hong Kouir. and
that he probably has never si-en Malvar.
Strong efforts an- licing made by the po
lice lo prevent the distribution of the
proclamation.

settle the strike and no apparent move i:
being made by the manufacturers to start
the mills; consequently there has been nn
break in the strikers' ranks.
The most important strike points seem
to 1k Lcechburg mid Wellsvillle, with
McKeesport a possible trouble center.
From Lcechburg the following news wiu
received:
A4 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
Hyde Park mill, which has been idle
since tlie first of this yenr, was started.
E. S. Jargny, manager of American
Steel association: Hurry 1 la vis, district
superintendent, and ltols-rt Lock, local
manager, were uu the ground. At ! -I"i
a tnni arrived nt Hyde Park, coming
from Sallshurg. Vnndergiift and Apollo.
Tin? train stopped nt the works nnd .1.1
ni"'i. clad in working garh and carrying
dinner buckets, left the train mid hurried
into the works. There was no excitement
an. I the inillowuers nnd managers claim
they now have enough men in the m'll
to opitale all of tin- five-plant mill. Sin-ti'i-ls
tue out and no one is allow f:l to
g-t into tlie mill w ithout a password.
Luter six mill men from Lccchhurg
snutitered down toward the mill, passed
tlie guards ami walked into the mills
where they nrc now nt work. This
makes Ii1 men now employed nt the
works. By outsiders it is claimed that
this nuiiilH-r cannot operate the mill in
full, lutt, however this tuny he, the mill
is running in good shape.
Tile amalgamated men, however, are
nn the ground making desperate efforts
to keep all union men out. They make
the bold assertion that in two days after
President Shaffer issues his general
strike order not a wheel will be turning
In either Vandergrift, Apollo or Hyde
Park.
From Wcllsvlllo, O., the following re
port is made:
The last four of the striking steel
workers who were arrested Saturday,
charged with riot, were relonsiil from
jail late yesterday afternoon upon bail.
There arc warrants yet in the hands of
tlie police for 17 more of the strikers.
which have not yet been served. The
officers, for some reason, seem to be
afraid to serve the warrant.
Henry H. llenileiMin, n potter for
whom the police hnve a warrant, has
been trying to get himself in the way of
the olricers all day to have theni arrest
him, but they will not do It for the rea
son that Henderson is backed by the Na
tional Brotheihond nf Operative Putters,
and the nhVers fear the vengeance nf the
pntters once they are aroused, as they
would Is- if one of their iniinlH-r were put
under nrrest. Secretary Ibiffy of the
potters, when seen today denied Hint the
brotherhood had any intention nf cnll
Ing their members in sympathy with the
steel workers.
There were four new men brought into
tin- mill from Scottdale yesterday and
four of the strikers. Gi-orge Cartwright,
Hurry Davidson, Jahcth Itusliton and
Itleliard Kay, deserted the union nnd
went back to work. Cnrt right and Da
vidson nn- rollers, while Kushton and
Kay nre heaters. Five mills were work
inc yesterday, the largest number run
nny since the strike began.
Vice President John Chnppell nf New
Castle was here yesterday between trains
and snid that nil the steel mills belonging
to tlie I'nited States Steel corporation
would lie called out this week. Further
than that he refused to talk.
The condition nt McKeesport Is report
eil ns feverish. Many strikers nre on
the streets around the National Tube
works. Men announce that they arc only
waiting for orders frnm headquarters
before going out. Organiser Flynn of
the Federation nf Labor was here look
ing over the situation and conferring
with Incnl hndors. Persistent rumors to
the effect that mine workers will refuse
to furnish con I for the trust coke fur
naces or mills.
An ordinance has l-en drawn up by
Common Councilman .lames N. Wanip-
ler appropriating Jf.lOO.fHM) for additional
paving nnd sewering nf streets nf Mc
Keesport. Only taxpayers are to lie em
ployed nt tlie work. It is Intended for
the benefit of strikers In case the struggle
is pnlnnged. Labor leaders will bring
great pressure to bear nn cmincHmen to
have the ordinance passed.

that three of its coiincilmen would re
sign, nud they now refuse to do so. With
the addition of eight members into the
present council its complexion will he
oiisiilernldy changed and it is sniil that
the organization will nut be affected until
the resignation agreement is carried out.
