Brooklyn, July 18.-The strike on the
'trolley roads is virtuaWy over. The
company has been steadily increasing
its service of cars today, and this evening-
fully 80 per cent were running on
schedule time. After nightfall the
strikers, who had been comparatively
quiet throughoult the day, began to at
tack the cars with stones and all sorts
of missiles at a number of points, es
pecially in the outlying districts. Sev
eral cars were partly wrecked and the
motormen aaid conductors were, rough
ly handled.
The -most serious demonstration oc
curred on the Third avenue line. While
a car was passing through a tough
neighborhood obstructions were thrown
on the track, compelling the car to
stop. It was immediately surroun'ded
by a crowd of several hundred who
pelted it with stones.breaking the win
dows and wrecking it generally. The
policeman guarding jthe car was struck
on ithe mouth with a brick arid 'knock
ed to the ground, where- he, was set up-
on and, badly eateji u ototnp
was rougriuy iia.imwsu. -xxia aim wo.o
broken and lie was otherwise injured.
A rock thrown by the strikers struck
the conductor, cutiting his hea& open.
All three were so seTious.ly injured that
they had to be removed to the hospital.
A reserve force of police was quickly
despatched to Ithe scene, and by ai free
use of cluba quickly drove away the
mob. The ringleaders were arrested.
The police have orders to disperse all
assemblages and prevent crowds from
gathering in secluded places. Cars will
be operated on nearly all of the lines
untlli midnight.

To Attend National Commit
tee Meeting Will Com
mitteeX bange Rules ?
Chicago, July 18 Just what Bryan
will say tornorrow concerning Mayor
Harrison's refusal to attend the meet
ing of the national democraltic commit
tee is one of the problems here tonight.
Altgeld believes that Harrison, in re
fusing to attend, made the greaitest po
litical mistake of his life. Harrison's
friends think otherwise.
Talks , with prominent democrats here
today show thalt the majority of the
democrats of Illinois firmly, believe, in
a reaffirmation of the Chicago . plat
form. They are convinced that Har
rison is playing with Gorman, Croker
and Murphy.
Friends of Bryan are demanding that
the committee abolish the unit rule, the
rude requiring candidates to be nomin
ated by a two-thirds vote and that cre
dentials be refused to all who either
bolted the candidates or the platform
of 1898.

to do this, in order that he may have
material with- which to counteract the
belief that he is Ithe Kentucky agent
of the McLean-Croker-Gorman com
bine to overthrow Bryan. The Courier -Journal,
GoebeTs; supporter and organ,
thits morning announced that this would,
be one of the objects of the visit of the

will be serious for the accused. He is

Apia, July 11, viaAukland, July 18.
There was fighting between Mataafans
and Malietoans at Satafa on July 4,
and three chiefs were killed. The Brit
ish warship Tauranga and the German
warship Cormoran sent landing parties
ashore who arrested the three chiefs re
sponsible for the trouble. The prison
ers were brought to Apia "for trial.
The tripartite commission is holding
sessions at Savaii and TJpolu. They re
turn" to Apia on tihe 12th and leave for
Washington.
Chief Justice Chambers will take

STOLE WINE AND DRANK IT;
THE WINE WAS POISON
Three Negroes Dead and Four Des
perately 111.
Montgomery, Ala., July 18. Stolen
wine robbed three negroes of their lives
in Barbour county and perhaps four
others have paid the penalty by this
time. A negro baseball club from this
city went to Eufalia last Saturday to
pliay a negro Iteam near that place.
After.the game the visitors were enter
tained at a dancing party by the home
club and one of the members of the
latter organization, thinking to add to
tie hospitality of the occasion, stole
what he believed to be a bottle of wine
from the drug store "in which he served
as porter. He was generous with the
contents of his bottle and before the
evening closed severatt negroes were
writhing in the agonres of acute pois
on. The bottle contained wine of col
chicum and was so iliabeled. At last ac
counts three of the negroes were dead
and the other four were desperately ill.

Encouraging Informa
tion on Philippine
Situation.
Cable Dispatch From Denby
Laid Before the
Cabinet.
Negotiation That Take No
Cognizance of Agui
naldo. Reports Regarded as a Refutation of
the Round Robin Accusations
of the Reporters.
Wahsington, July 18. Much gratifi
cation was expressed at the cabinet
meeting Itoday over encouraging infor
mation about the Philippine situation
contained in a cable report to Secretary
Hay from Commissioner Denby., He
told of negotiations now being con
ducted by the Americans with repre
sentative Filipinos, looking to the es
tablishment of peace throughout the
archipelago. No reference to Aguim
aldo is made, but it is ishown by the
phraseoflogy of the message that the
natives with whom the negotiations are
being carried on are working to bring
about peace without consulting the
wishes of Aguinaldo.
Coming as it did, synchronously with
the so-called round robin of the news
paper correspondents at Manila, the
president and his advisers found addi
tional cause for gratification in Den
by's despatch. They regard it as a refu
tation of the allegations of Ithe newspa
per men and as confirming their belief
in the military and administrative abil
ity of General Otis. The round robin
was barely mentioned ; at the cabinet
meeting. It can be stated on the au
thority of three members of the cabi
net thalt the administration will ignore
the round -robin.
RUSH ORDERS FOR MUNITIONS

Chattanooga, July 18. On rush order
from the war department 200 horses

CENSORSHIP CRITICISED.
London, July 18. The- afternoon pa
pers generally in commenting on the
protest of American correspondents in
Manila against the censorship de
nounce the conduct of the American
Philippine campaign as managed by
Secretary Alger and General Otis.
The St. James Gazette says: "The
great American people have been hood-
winked by its general-and Its adminis
tration, who have kept up a series of
suppressions of the truth and sugges
tions of faots that would do credit to
Russian ingenuity and thoroughness."
CUBANS HELD BY SPANIARDS.
Washington, July 18. Acting on the
representation, of Senior Quesada, ttbe Cu

has Instructed Minister S toner at Maidxid
ito call the attention of ithe Spanish gov
ernment to the provisions of the treaty
of peace regarding ttoe release of polit
ical "prisoners amd requests the liberation
of the. Cubans now cotnftoed at Ferdumn
do Po and other Spanish' prisons. The
number of Cubans still held in confine
ment by Spaiin is estimated! alt twenty. It
Is supposed that the failure of the Unit
ed States, by reason of the Insurrection
in the Phlilippines, to sefcure the release
of SpeuiiardB held by the Insurgents, 'is
somewihat responsible for the delay of
Spain setting free the Cubans.
