    FILIP1N0S Ml
Though Defeated, They Elude the
Conquering Americans,
TILIPINO OCCUPATION BROKEN.
rnrnnatiiionml I.ns Pinna. In the Prov
ince of Cavtte. Now In Possession of
Our Forces Heavy Lom Inflicted on
the Enemy.
Manila. June 12. The Filipino oc- j
cupatlon of the province of Cuvlte has
teen broken, and as the result of the j
present movement the Americans now
control the important coast towns oc !
Paranaque and Las Plnas, while a i
long line of insurgent trenches facing
our south line has been cleared.
The Insurgents have again proved I
their facility as dodgers, between 3,00
and 4,000 warriors, who seemed des- j
tined to be captured, having disappear- !
ed, the majority sliding away under
cover of the night, after fighting the
Americans all day. Some others eamo
to meet our troops, with protestations
of friendship.
The Thirteenth infantry lost one
man killed and sis wounded, the Ninth
infantry one man killed and five
wounded, the Fourteenth Infantry three
wounded and the First Colorado vol
unteer regiment 11 wounded.
Saturday's work was the hardest our
irmy has seen. The battlefield stretch
ed out across the entire isthmus from
Laguna de Bay to the harbor. While
the troops were advancing the army
gunboat Napldan, in the river near
Tagulg, shelled the enemy, killing sev
eral of them.
' The monitor lfonadnock and the
gunboat Helena shelled Paranaque
and Las Pinas all day with the full
power of their batteries.
The whole country proved to be a
succession of small hills, with boggy
ground between the high, thick grass,
and bushes In the hollows, which
greatly added to the difficulty of the
advance, but gave shelter that saved
many from the enemy's bullets. Our
men threw away their blankets, coats
and even haversacks, stripping to the
waist and trusting to luck for food.
Water could not be obtained, and
there was much discomfort after the
canteens were emptied.
At the outset the Colorado, the
Ninth infantry and the Twenty-first
infantry forced the line of Insurgent
trenches, wheeled to the left and drove
the. enemy toward the lake. During
this maneuver the Filipinos In con
cealed trenches on the right opened
an enfilading fire, but the brigade,
partly owlnng to the high grass, had
few hit.
The Ninth Infantry crept around to
the right, flanking the trenches, driv
ing out the Filipinos and killing many
of them.
The Colorado regiment advanced to
the lake. Two companies encountered
trenches on top of a knoll, where the
Filipinos stood waist high above a
trench, pouring a volley upon the ad
vancing Americans. The Colorado
troops charged and drove them out,
Lieutenant Colonel,. Moses being
wounded In the arm as he Jumped Into
the trench,
v In the meantime General Wheaton s
column advanced one and a half miles
toward Paranaque, where the Ameri
cans found a strong trench on a ridge,
out of which they drove the Filipinos
by hard fighting.
At 6 o'clock yesterday morning Gen
eral Wheaton advanced upon Las
Plnas, with a troop of cavalry, the
Twenty-first Infantry, the Colorado
regiment, a part of the Ninth Infantry
and two mountain guns, crossing two
streams and entering the town with
out firing a shot. He thon advanced
upon Paranaque.
The women and chllren, and for that
matter many men, remained in the
towns. No houses were destroyed,
though many were torn by the shells
from the warships. Everywnere the
Americans found white flags flying.
So far as can yet be ascertained the
Filipino loss is about 50 killed, about
350 wounded, and 20 taken prisoners.

CLEVELAND STRIKERS
3lcoiimsre Lawless Method on the
Pari of Brmpettilaera.
Cleveland, June 13. The attempt of
the big Consolidated Railroad coro
I sti.y to move its cars yestarday was at
tended by scenes of Wild disorder In
varlout parts of the city, though no
body was hurt and very little damage
was done to property. Cars were run
on two lines at very Irregular Inter
vals, but without passenfsrs. s:.d
mainly under the protection of police
men. The principal work of th- mobi,
which were composed largely of Idlers
and curious spectators, was to block
ade the tracks. In which they were
materially assisted by accommodate
drivers of trucks, cut trolley ropea and
jeer at the non-union men. Occasion
ally stale eggs and pieces of mud
were thrown, but nobody was hurt.
The strikers discouraged violence, tut
they did most effective work In Induc
ing the non-union men to quit, and la
this they were assisted by several wo
men, relatives of the strikers, who
boarded the cars and pleaded with tt.e
new men to leave their posts. One ol
these women was provided with money,
and when argument failed she Induced
the non-union men to quit by paying
them.
Many of the cars were left on the
lines deserted and were afterward
picked up by Inspectors and taken to
the terminals.
The Important development of the
day was the refusal of the company to
let the state board arbitrate the only
question Involved the recognition of
the union.
OUR ARBITRATION PLANS
Will Be Preaaed For Consideration by
the Peace Conference.
The Hague, June 13. The American
delegates to the disarmament con
ference last night Issued a manifesto
to the effect that, although the English
proposals have been used aa the basis
of the arbitration discussion, this does
not mean the abandonment of tic
American plan, which will be presented
to the plenary sitting of the third cora
mlssion und judged on Its nit rlts with
the rest.
The discussion as to furnishing the
newspapers with ubstracts of the pro
ceeding! developed a remttrkalde
scene. M. Peernorert, head of the Bel
gian delegation, on rising to speak,
addressed M. De Steal, and in the mot
pointed manner said that publicity
might as well be granted, as certain
documents had been published In the
newspapers. "Rome of these docu
ments," he said, looking M. De Staal
full In the face, "were stolen. I have
heard, from M. De Staal, but I cannot
believe this, feeling sure that the
visitors to the Ouddoelen hotel are all
far too honest to stoop to theft."
M. De Staal received these remarks
in silence.

Minneapolis, June 13. A tpecla!
from Hudson says: Cce of the most
terrible tornados ever witnessed by the
cltlsenB of Hudson passed through the
country here last night. It formed
In a waterspout four miles south of
Hudson, on Lake St. Croix. It wo
witnessed by hundreds of people, and
seemed to follow the lake and to be
making directly for the city, but about
two miles south It veered to the east
and left the lake and crossed the
country. It was about 20 rods wide
and destroyed everything In Its track.
The first building struck waa over on
the farm of F. C. Mattlson. One edg
of the storm struck his building, twist
ing his born nut of shape and throw
ing his windmill some rods. It then
struck the Grldley farm. The family,
seeing It coming, fled for a large stone
quarry about 20 rode from the houte.
where they remained safely until It
passed. The house Is a small brick
one and held to the foundation, but
the angles were torn from the roof.
The cyclone veered to the north, leav
ing the farm buildings unharmed, but
tearing up large oak trees, three feet Ir.
diameter, by the roots and twitting
them into every conceivable "rape.
About one half mile northeast from
there It struck the building of H. S.
Mattlson. Just before the storm
reached the place the family fled to
the cellar. The cellar door had just
closed when the crash came. This
place was directly In the line of the
storm, and not a building, tree, wagon
or piece of machinery Is left wboln.
The hous" was completely swept from
Its foundation, and nothing remained
but the floor which covered the people
In the cellar. Not one of them was
harmed. Byeiw piece of furniture was
carried for rods and literally torn Into
shreds. Beside the house there were
two large baraa, machine sheds and
outbuilding, and alt were destroyed.

DUPUY AjAIN RESIGNS.
French Premier and Cabinet Pre

FORCED OUT BY THE DEPUTIES
The Contradictory Attitude of the
Ministry on tlie Oreyfim CaSO W
l.arm lr Instrumental In Forelng stta
CrNta fioaalii a to the New Premier
Purls. June 1.1. The Dupuy cabinet
has resigned. The chamber of depu
ties yesterday, after sn excited debate,
adopted by a vote of 321 to 178 tho
order of the day proposed by M. Ruau,
Radical, representing the district of Si
Csudens, which the premier refused to
accopt. The ministers forthwith left
the house amid Intense excitement.
The text of M Kuau'a motion wai as
follows:
"The chamber Is determined to sup
port only a government resolved to de
fend vigorously republican instil u
tlons and to secure public order und
passes to the order of the day."
After the vote was announced the
Socialists shouted "Vive la Repnhll
que!" The ministers left the house
and the chamber adjourned.
M. Dupuy and his cabinet went nt
once to the Elysee palace end tendered
their resignation to President Loubet.
The Interview between M Dupuy and
his colleagues und the president Wail
brief, but cordial. The president ex
pressed his thinks for the support be
had received from the retiring minis
tore, adding that he would always re
member their services gratefully. M.
Dupuy was agreeably surprised at M
I.oubet'u cordis. ity. President Loubot
accepted the resignations, but request
ed the ministers to retain their office.
until their successors are named.
Of the statesmen already named In
parliamentary ctrcleB in connection
with the prem1erh!p of the new rnbi
net those most frequently mentioned
are M. Raymond Polncare, deputy for
Mouse, who WSJ minister of pnMIc in
struction st the time of the Dreyfue
court martial, and who testified before
the court of cassation that M Dupuy
had recently said to him: "1 think
we were the victims of a big hoax in
194;" M. Thcophlle Delcasse, minis
ter of foreign affairs In the retiring
cabinet; M. Henri Tlrlsson, who was
M. Dupuy't Immediate predecessor In
the premiership he has Just resigned.
and Senator Piers Waldeck-Rouastnu,
who was minister of the Interior In the
cabinet of Oambetta In 1881, and
again In the Ferry cabinet In 1888.
Socialists and Radicals alike are dts
satisfied with what they have consider
ed the contradictory attitude of the
Dupuy cabinet in the Dreyfut nffalr.
The moderates hope to secure the re
turn of M. Mellne to power. The Revo
lutlonarles. Nationalists and antl
Seraltet hope, In their opposition to M.
Dupuy, to find a more tolerant man in
hit successor. This Is the expiana
tloa of yesterday's voting, resulting
la the downfall of the cabinet. The
supporters of the government only
numbered 171, recruited for the most
part from the ranks of the Moderate
Radicals.
Many deputies agree tbnt the Drey
fut affair It largely responsible for the
cabinet. All the Royalists and muny
Radicals demand that their share of
the responsibility must be brought
home to General de Rolsdeffre und
General Mercler. At the snme time
these taking this view have been nil
along persuaded thnt M. Dupuy would
uovwr proceed to that extreme.
Deputies who hHve supported M. Du
puy confessed In the lobbies tn a con
viction that he msde a great mistake
Sunday In covering the Hols d Bou
logne snd Louchamp with sabres und
bayonets, thus rendering M. Loubet
ridiculous, seeing that there whs not
a single serious demonstration against
him anywhere.
