Manila (By Cable).—Rios, a fanatical leader of the irreconcilable natives of the Province Tayabas, at- tacked the town of Laguimanoc at the head of 30 riflemen and 150 men armed with bolos. The band wantonly killed two women and one girl and wounded several other persons. A detachment of Luzon, | of the native constabulary arrived unex- pectedly at Laguimanoc while Rios’ men were still there. They attacked and routed the ban- | dits, killing several of Rios’ followers, | and have rounded up 700 men, many of whom are suspected of complicity in the attack on Laguimanoc. The guilty out and the remainder set at liberty. One of Rios’ lieutenants who was captured said Rios was a direct de- scendant of God, and that it was beyond the power of man to injure him. The constabulary have also captured one of Rios’ mountain strongholds. Four detachments of constabulary are now following the main band of the outlaws. ODDS AND ENDS OF THE LATEST NEWS. Charles R.
