Rebel Atrocttlcm tu fanadaba.
Manila, .Tune 17. After cutting the
railroad and telegraph at Apaltt, seven
miles south, for the purpose of sever
ing connection, the rebels attacked
Ceneral Mat-Arthur's lines at 8an Fer
nando at 4:30 yesterday morning.
They met with an unexpectedly warm
reception and were repulsed with a loss
of 75 killed. 80 prisoners and many
wounded.
The rebel force, estimated to have
numbered 5,000 men, advanced stealth
ily from the Jungle north of the city
and then divided, with the evident pur
pose of surrounding the Americans.
The outposts of the Iowa regiment
discovered the enemy and retired to
their lines, where the entire division
awaited in an entrenched position.
The Iowa regiment and the Kansas
regiment received the first shock of the J
attack. Reserving their fire until UM
enemy was within COO yards, the first
volley of the Americans hit the rebels,
who returned the Are wildly, the rest !
of their line falling to advance. The '
Americans, who thoroughly enjoyed
the novelty of the situation, awaiting
an attack, sallied forth, and the Insur
gents thereupon turned and fled Into
the Jungle. Our loss was 14 men
wounded, and the majority of them are
only slightly hurt.
General Funston's brigade of Knn
sans and Montnnnns and General
Halo's brigade, the Seventeenth ;ei
ment and the Iowa regiment, consti
tuted the force engaged.
Agulnnldo Is reported to hnv per
sonally conducted the attack, u ' -.t ".
orations were made for ievcrr.1 I: ..
to bring forward troops frcn i ' ' i.
and others, from Darjupan, wu.- trans
ported by rail.
Along the front of the Kea t ' regi
ment ?,9 rebel dead wera counted.
The flrBt news of the Flloptnn ad
vance was reported by a telegraph op
erator who was sent to the bridge at
Apallt to ascertain the cause of a break
In one of the wires. He was compellod
to beat a hasty retreat under fire.
A Spanish officer who has been a
prisoner In 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. Ac
cording to his story the relations be
tween the two Filipino leaders had
been strnlned to the breaking point be
causo of Luna's attempt to assume con
trol of affairs, and the final rupture
was forced by Agulnaldo Issuing se
cret orders to the provincial govern
ments. Luna thereupon notified Agul
naldo, demanding copies of the docu
ments, and Agulnnldo replied curtly
.that Luna was a general of the army
and that the civil government did not
concern him. Luna, on opening the
reply at headquarters, In the presence
of his officers, exclaimed hotly:
"He will be dead tomorrow."
One officer, who was friendly to
Agulnaldo, hastened to warn him, and
Agulnaldo called together 20 trusted
soldiers, fellow townsmen of his, and
stationed them around his house, with
Instructions to kill nny one attempting
to enter, regardless of rank.
Luna appeared the next day and saw
Agulnaldo at the window.
A member of the guard said:
"Agulnaldo has gone to Inspect
troops."
Luna then exclaimed: "You are a
liar," drew his revolver, struck the
guard and tried to force an entrance
into the house. Before he could use
his revolver one of the guards bayonet
ted him, another shot him in the back,
and others stabbed him. In all he had
20 wounds. Luna's aide de camp was
killed In the sAme way.
The Spaniard's story has not en
tirely dispelled the doubts of Luna's
death, and bets that he Is alive arc
freely made at the cluba. Some peo
ple think Agulnaldo has taken pains
to send the Spaniard here with this
Btory for the furtherance of some dip
lomatic schemo, while others suspect
Agulnaldo has been assassinated by
Luna's men.
Since the Americans withdrew from
Canadaba recently the rebels have re
turned and have wreaked vengeanco
upon those who befriended the Ameri
cans. They slaughtered the natives
who surrendered the town and dis
played their heads on poles In the
publlc square.

Paris, June 20. It was announced
late last evening that Senator Wal-deck-Kousseau
had declined the task
of forming a new cabinet. The fail
ure of M. Waldeck-Rousscau Is due.
It Is said, to the refusal of Camilla
Krantz to accept the portfolio of pub
lic works, which he considers Inferior
to the portfolio of war, held by him
In the retiring cabinet. But for this
the Waldeck-Rousseau slate was com
plete. MM. Polncare and Gulllaln made
their acceptance of Office dependent
upon tho inclusion of M. Krauu. Tho
M. point a arc.
latter, beside refusing the portfolio of
public works, expressed bis disapproval
of certain measures which M. Waldeck
Rousscau proposed to take aguinst the
generals and colonels who recently In
spired a newspaper propaganda In
favor of the army.
After formal consultations this af
ternoon it Is expected that M. Loubet
will again summon M. Polncare.
The failure of M. Waldeck-Rousseau
makes the situation exceedingly diffi
cult. Both M. Oaslmlr-Pcrler and Gen
eral Brugere declined to enter the
cabinet. It Is quite uncertain whom
M. Loubet will now summon should M.
Polncare decline to make another at
tempt. Possibly he may call upon M.
Sarrien or Paul Deschannel, president
of the chamber of deputies.

Philadelphia, June 10. Shortly be
I foro l o'clock yesterday morning, when
I the safe of the Falrmount Park Trans
portation company, located In the re
I calving office at Belmont, waa filled
v Ith the receipts of two days, amount
, log In exact figures to fS,SU0.65, a gaus
of masked cracksmen, numberlugabout
ten or twelve, swooped down upon the
place and stole the money, after hold
ing up the receiver and five other men,
1 binding them bard and last with pic
tuie curd. The mouths of tae cap
tured men were gagged with rags.
The time and place chosen by tho
1 bandits wen- both perfectly adapted
' for tho desperate work In hand. Tho
car barn of the trolley company is lo
cated at Qlenslde, midway between
the river and belmont Mansion, in the
ravine leading down from the plateau
of Belmont to tho Schuylkill, Thu
bulldliiK is embowered in heavy tim
ber land, und at that early hour Is a ;
lonely and as far removed fri m t'a -busy
city near ly as If that city was u
thousand miles away.
Not only were members of the pan?
at the Immediate scene of the robbery,
hut it is a fart that pickets were oper
ating miles away, destroying telegraph
and telephone wires at the terminus
of the park trolley, so as to Insure the
defeat of any communication which
1 tho trolley employes would he likely
I to send to the at tocttvo bureau,
i The employed overpowered by the
bandits wen- Prank Levan, nh hi
receiver; Philip Ev s, nUht electrician;
Henry Whltehouse, :i-alstai:l elcctrlc
i lan; William Cademus, night watch
man, and C. Harry Watson, a conduc
, tor.
One after another these men were
hound by men. hers of the gang, who
stood over them With drawn revolvers,
, ready to fire at the first outcry that
mil. iii be made. Nitro-glycorlne was
first tried on the safe, but that fall
ing the trolley company's own tools
wern used to pry It open,
Throughout the commission of tl"
crime -11 took more than an hour for
the robbers to finish their work they
exhibited all the assurance and show
ed ull tho characteristics of experteni -rt
burglars. There is Utile doubt that
some one in the employ of tho com
pany, WHO was either a memher of the
gang or In collusion with them, had
' given them full and complete lnfor-
l matlon of tho lay of the ground.
As a result of the Vigilance of th,
police three men were arrested later
In tho day In tho park on suspicion of
being connected In some way with the
' rohhory. At a hearing before Magis
trate South the men gave their names
and addresses as Peter Duffert and
Charles Smith, of Newark, N. J., and
Albert Leeds, of Twentieth Btreel and
ltidgo avenue. Duffert and Smith said
they were tramping from Heading t.i
Unltlmore. Their appearance, how
ever, was too prosperous for vagrants.
In the magistrate's opinion, and lie
