'I^va Men Taken From Water Tunnel
( mler I.ake Erie.
Adam Kest anil Joseph Engine, two of a
dozen or more workmen who were trap
ped in the water works tunnel 200 feet be
low the surface of Lake Erie by the burn
ing of crib No. 2 at Cleveland, Ohio, last
Wednesday, were rescued from their hor
rible position late yesterday afternoon, and
are now lying semi-conscious at Huran
Street Hospital. With careful nursing the
physicians say they will recover their
former strength, and probably be none the
worse for their thrilling experience.
Shut off frorp the upper woriJ, the men
knew nothing of the catastrophe that killed
so many of tneir comrades an 1 imprisoned
them. They knew that something had sev
ered their connections with the crib. They
knew that beyond the air lock, behind
which they had taken refuge, the air was
too foul to breathe. But they supposed
that the trouble was temporary. Each day
they expected their comrades to come down
the tunnel to their rescue
When their signal for help, tapping on
the air pipe, was at last answered from the
crib, Kest and Eugine were preparing to
eat raw mule meat. Their deliverance came
just in time to make unnecessary this des
perate alternative.
At the hospital last night the two men
were permitted to talk for a short time,
and they related some of their experiences.
They say they did not kiviw th-'*re had been
a tire, and they could not account tor their
plight, unless some accident had happened.
As the time passed, however, and hours
lengthened into days, the in^n were begin
ning to fear they were doomed to death,
either by starvation, suffocation or drown
ing. Their tapping on the pipe to attract
people's attention was done with little
hope of its being heard, but fortune la
vored them, and their condition was real
ized when a number of men who were at
work repairing the burned crib heard the
faint noise away down under ground, and
set out to rescue the unfortunates.
"We gave up more than pnee," said Kest.
"We lost track of the time. I did not
know whether it was six days or throe.
The gas must have made us sleepy. We
slept a lot, I know. We did not know
whether it was day or night down there.
The darkness was awful. We iri^d to get
out several times. Each time the gas drove
us back. At last we decided tnat it was
get out or die, and we made a try, tapping
on the pipes as we went along."
According to the story of these men. the
first Intimation they had of the fatal Wed
nesday morning when the crib burned was
the shutting off of the lights. The two men
were working far in advance of the gang,
and when the latter made their ru3h for
safety Kest and Eugine were sitting down
behind the air-lock, waiting for the lights
to be turned on again. They did not hear
the shouts and cries of their felliw-prls
oners.
SCHWAB TO LEAVE STEEL TRl'ST.
Will Devote Hi* Tliqe to Bethlehem
Steel ?nd Iron Companies.
A special to the New York Tribune from
Philadelphia last night says: It Is authori
tatively reported here that when Charles
M. Schwab obtains actual control of the
Bethlehem Stsel and Iron Companies, which
deal will be cosummated in a brief time, he
will resign the presidency of the United
States Steel Corporation and devote his
time to the management of the property
acquired on his own account. The man
who made this statement is connected with
the Bethlehem companies, but he did not
wish his name to be quoted. His informa
tion he believed to be exact.
"Since Mr. Schwab began negotiations for
the purchase of the Bethlehem companies,"
he said ,"no one has thought that he would
hold the properties for himself. It was
first reported that Schwab was acting as
an agent for the Maxim-A icker.s-Cramp
syndicate. I think every one can now see
that this rumor was baseless.
"Then there came a story that the Beth
lehem property would be merged with the
United States Steel Corporation. That
would be folly, and the men in the r.teel
corporation would never allow it. The
Bethlehem company is the only one whicli
competes with the United States Steel
Corporation in furnishing armor plate to
the government. If they were to be merged
the ultimate result would undoubtedly be
the establishment of a government armor
plate plant.
"Mr. Schwab has now got an option on
nearly 250,000 shares of the Bethlehem steel
stock, which gives him control of the iron
company also. Before August 20, when the
transaction must be closed, he will hold
nearly 300,000 shares, leaving few out
standing. The profit of the company was
more than $1.0oo,<t00 last year, and I believe
that might be increased.
"Although Mr. Schwab gets a princely
salary, I think he will make more than the
largest amount which rumor has made that
salary out to be in the Bethlehem company,
leaving this out of the question, I know
that Mr. Schwab has been anxious to make
a change for some time. While not on bad
terms with J. Pierpont Morgan, he has had
some conflict at times, ami for that reason
wishes to take up the Bethlehem company
plants." *
Charles M. Schwab, president of the
United States Steel Corporation, when
asked last night at the Hotel Lorraine if
he would sever his connection with the
trust in order to take charge of the Beth
lehem steel works, as was reported, said:
"I am very sorry, but I cannot say any
thing about it."
VICTIM OF VIVISECTION.
Subject of Experiment With Yellow
Fever GerniM i? Deinl.
A dispatch from Havana, last night says:
Another man bitten by mosquitoes infected
for Dr. Caldas* yellow fever experiments
died here today, being the second victim
of the poisoned insects.
Both men suffered from severe attacks of
fever and the fatal termination of the ex
periments upon them will end the mosquito
test.
The death of these men has served to
center exceptional interest in Dr. Caldas'
experiments. The Brazilian bacteriologist
has not yet arrived here, although he sailed
from New York on July 25. He will make
his first experiments in Santiago de las
Y^gas, and will come to Havana later. The
death of the two non-immunes has no
direct bearing on the Brazilian expert's
plans, as no tests of the serum he uses
have yet been made in this city.
Havana physicians and the health author
ities still hope foi satisfactory results from
Dr. Caldas' yellow fever serum. Tests
made in Mexico and Brazil have proved
successful, and Dr. Caldas, if he should
conquer the disease in Cuba, would be able
to claim the $50,000 reward the president of
Mexico recently offered for a yellow fever
cure.
The dangerous character of the infected
mosquito test will interfere temporarily
with Dr. Caldas' plans in Cuba, but there Is
expected to be no delay in determining
whether the serum he has prepared will
cure the fever.
Dr. Caldas and his assistant, Dr. Angel
Bellinzaghi, took 1,000 botles of the serum
| to Santiago de las Vegas, and they have
prepared for a long series of tests before
I returning to the United States.
No more mosquito tests on human beings
will be permitted.
DAMAGE BY A DELUGE.
Railway Traffic Suspended and
Bridges Carried Away.
The Baltimore Sun of today says:
Great damage was done in the upper part
of Baltimore county, and in the adjoining
portions of Carroll county, and of York
county, Pennsylvania, by sudden and heavy
rain storms which occurred early yesterday
afternoon.
Two large washouts occurred on the
Northern Central railway, dosing both
tracks to travel and preventing the pas
sage of trains north of Parkton and south
of Freelands, immediately below Nsw Free
dom, Pa. ...

Otiter Desserts.
The bounteous earth hath yielded to man
no more delightful or delicious product of
tree or vine than the luscious peach.
As Its botanical name. Primus Persica,
Indicates, rjt hails from the royal Persian
gardens. From thence to Greece and sun
ny Italy, losing? nothing: by transplanting
from its native poll. In no country of its
adoption, however, has it taken more Kindly
to the change than in the land of the
"western sun." In America the peach
thrives and comes to perfection from the
sunny south lands to the far northern
states, varying, of course, as to time of
maturity, according to locality.
How It Differs From Other Foods.
It is characteristic of all fruits that when
ripe they may be eaten in their raw state.
Most may be eaten either raw or cooked,
and in some instances their food value and
flavor are increased by the cooking and the
addition of sugar. The peach, however,
is a notable exception, as cooking destroys
or completely changes the delicate and
characteristic flavor that makfs this fruit
a surpassing favorite abcve all others.
While the peach, like all other fruits,
consists essentially of two parts, the juices
and the cellular structures in which the
juices are retained, they, unlike other
fruits, seem to partake more of the nature
of substantial food, and are entirely satis
fying to delicate eaters as a frequent sub
stitute for heavy viands. Their delightful
combination of meat and drink makes them
an exceedingly welcome addition to o*ir
summer dietary, and especially to those
whose appetite revolts against meats or
any form of hot foods served for the early
morning meal or luncheon. No more de
sirable form of refreshment can be offered
at either meal than a dish of ripe, mellow
peaches.
Another notable distinction the peach
possesses from 'other fruits is the small
amount of saccharine matter contained in
its combination. This deficiency and the
soft, delicate texture of the flesh of per
fectly ripe, unblemished peaches and make
them well suited to the gouty and dia
betic.
To Serve Penclie* Whole.
When the fruit is very ripe it is best to
serve them whole, as their beauty of form
and color add much to the enjoyment of
eating them. Do lot wipe them unless it is
necessary. Arrange them on a dish and
decorate with peach leaves or leaves that
resemble them in shape and color.
Penches an<l ('renin.
This is a very popular way of serving
them, and wheji the peaches are pared and
sliced just before serving, and the cream
is rich, sw?-et and cold, no more delicious
dish can be imagined. Serve with well
cooked cereal that has been set away to
cool in fancy individual molds, and you
have a dainty and nourishing breakfast.
Hroilert Penehes.
?
These are a cnef's specialty. Select
large, ripe freestone peaches; cut them
in halves, removing the stones; then stick
them full of shredded sweet and bitter
almonds or use a -ew of the peach kernels
instead of the bitter almonds. Dust them
well with .powdered sugar and broil them
in a fine double wire broiler. Serve them
hot, with scalded cream flavored with or
ange and Croutons of sponge cake browned
in butter.
Peach CniiR.
Beat two eggs without separating until
light; add them to a pint of milk. Meas
ure two and a half cups of sifted flour; add
half a teaspoohful of salt and two table
spoonfuls of baking powder and sift twice
again. Make a well in center of the flour,
pour the liquid in gradually, stirring it
into the flour until you have a thick batter;
add two level t&blespooofuls of melted but
ter and mix well. Gre?ase small custard
cups or muffin tins; drop in a spoonful of
the batter, then half a ripe, yellow peach
pared and stone remove-el, placing the hol
low side of the peach up. Cover with an
other spoonful Of the batter and dust with
powdered sugar. These can be either
steamed half an hour or baked in the oven
for twenty minutes. Serve with orange
sauce.
Peneh Puttie*.
Hollow out little stale sponge cakes,
brush with butter inside and out; place in
each cake two halves of peaches, peeled
and arranged in natural form, putting a
little orange marmalade or strawberry
preserve in the center. Sprinkle with sugar
and chopped almonds or peanuts and bake
in oven until peaches are tender. Serve
with peach syrup flavored with vanila or
a little sherry. Very ripe peaches should be
used, so as not to require long cooking.
linked PenclieM.
This is a nice way to se-rve peaches when
they are a little too green and hard for eat
ing uncooked: Cut them in halves, pare
a.nd remove the stones; place them in lay
ers, with smooth side up, in a deep earthen
pie dish, with the bottom of the dish just
covered with water; sprinkle sugar over
the peaches and cover and bake in the oven
until tender, but not soft enough to break.
These may be served hot, or cold with
whipped cream er meringue.
Peneh Dainty.
Take slices of sponge cake-, angel food or
soft gingerbread and trim into rounds;
cover with ripe peaches cut small; dust
with powdered sugar and cover with sweet
ened whipped cream.
New Peneh Cobbler.
Fill a bakirfg dish with whole peeled
peaches; add two cups of water; cover the
dish closely and steam the peaches until
tender; then drain off the juice and let cool.
Beat four eggs and a cup of sugar together
until light; then add a tablespoonful of
melted butter and half teaspoonful of salt,
the Juice from the peaches and a pint of
sweet milk. Sift and measure a scant cup
of flour; add a teaspoonful of baking pow
der and sift again. Stir the flour and other
ingredients together, and then pour over
the peaches; bake in a quick oven until a
nice brown, about twenty-five minutes
Serve with cream.
Peneh Cheese.
Pare and quarter eighteen yellow, ripe
peachee; sweeten them with one cup of
powdered sugar and let them stand In a
covered dish for two hours; soak three
fourths of a package of gelatine in three
fourths of a cup of cold water for ten min
utes; then dissolve by pouring over It three
fourths of a cup of boiling water; stir until
dissolved then strain. Put the sweetened
peaches through a sieve or vegetable press;
add the gelatine and set in a pan of cracked
ice or ice water and stir until It beirin?
thicken; then Stir in carefully a pint of
whipped cream Turn into a glass or por

The Great Peril of the Great Strike.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Had the present industrial complications
prevailed last fall Mr. Bryan would now he
President of the United States. The selfish
patriotism of the shrewd workingmen of
the country saved us from Bryanism in
1SSH5, and again in liM>. Today "govern
ment by injunction" is regarded as a per.
by thoughtful men of all parties. Judges
of federal courts have enjoined working
men. stating that there may be exigencies
when even argumentation is disorderly
conduct. I have yet to learn that they
have so notified the industrial magnates
of the country. Naturally comes up the
old saying. " 'Tis a poor rule that won t
work both ways," and many a leader or
the workingmen is saying, with a s^*onic
smile. "I thank thee, Jew, for that word.
May it not happen that all our judges will
soon be fully occupied with hearing appea s
for injunctions? And they will not be solel>
from the capitalistic class. Bases for them
can be had by the attorney generals n all
the states, and also by e\er> district
C ?l'n ^i^YhTVinkerton force killed a few
workingmen at Homestead Pa. They were
within the law. but they defeated "ar -
son ail the same, and the panic of 18M
1K'.?7 followed. And now the steel trust
savs to the 30,000 citizens of McKeesport.
"We wi'.l strike you a tilling blow; through
povertv and distress we will kill more than
the Pinkertons did. We will almost oblit
erate the value of the homes built and
adorned by our own workmen, who had
good grounds for believing in the. amdinpr
location of our works. Their vacated
homes will reduce the rental value of near
ly everv dwelling and store in McKees
port. We do it because your sympathies
have gone out to our rebellious workmen.
And what we do to you we can do else
where. We will have nfl rebellious cities."
If an injunction had been applied for to
prevent the dismantling of the mills at
McKeesport strange questions of vested
rights would thrill our people. Doubtless
the cold law would be against the appel
lants, but a moral agitation never dies, and
ultimately it makes its own laws. And
everywhere appeals for injunctions against
trusts would prevail, sure to *>e denied, but
equally sure to place in every political
"platform" a denunciation of government
by injunction. Nothing gave Jefferson such
uneasiness as the ever-growing power of
the judiciary
Bryan was born out of due time. He
made republican success a certainty, and
out of resulting or accompanying repub
lican prosperity trusts have arisen. They
are strange things to us. We fear them
and yet are proud of them. The fear of
Bryanism made the moneyed classes almost
solidly republican, and, justly or unjustly,
we, as republicans, will be held responsi
ble for their actions. If they prove a bless
ing to the country the people will forget
that; if they prove to be a curse, woe to
us, and woe to the country. Some time
the wave of socialism will rise, temporarily,
mountain high.
The present strike has no justification.
Arrogance of power on both sides has
brought it upon us. Not discussing its
genesis, the popular mind has clarified the
question, and that question is. Shall trades
unionism live or die? I ltimately all who
oppose it will politically die. Future polit
ical platforms will be waste or funeral
lumber thtit do not explicitly and solemnly
indorse the propriety and beneficence of
trades unionism. That is the best residu
um of the last half of the nineteenth
centurv, and that despite the violence and
the foolishness that have so often caused
its friends to grieve. Next to the Decla
ration of Independence and the bill of
rights it was the grandest assertion of
personal liberty on the part of our work
ingmen?the majority of out nation.
It ought to live, and it will live. Trusts
may dominate conventions, administra
tions Congresses and legislatures, but they
will be as chaff before the popular feeling
which sees in the increasing comfort and
well-being of the American workingman
tjie purest basis of national pride.
lx*t the steel tru^t crush out unionism for
the present, and all other trusts will, must,
combine with it. Our industrial magnates
are great men. Their proud aim is to con
trol the markets of the world. Under a
protective tariff and the present high rate
of wages they cannot do so; reduce th?>
wages of their employes 25 per cent and
they are sure of success. That they would
much prefer to any reduction of tariff, for
a high tariff makes them sure of continued
possession of the nome market, with its
larger profits. I doubt not that is their
aim. Commence to reduce wages, with
unionism dead, who will there be to chal
lenge them to return to the living rates
of 1901? The workingrnen's only refuge
then will be the field of politics.
The trust can settle the strike in a week.
Let them authoritatively state that they
mean to have nothing to do with unionism,
or non-unionism, to recognize neither, no
more than they lo the color of the eyes
of their employes, and the strike is over
Failing to do this, the strike will linger
and grow until its increasing hungry mem
bers will listen to the pleas of their fam
ished wives and children and succumb, The
harvest of bitterness is sad to dwell upon.
Public sentiment should thunder in the
ears of all trusts, "You shall not crush
trades unionism?the charter of the liber
ties of the American workingmen." And
be assured, the trusts will hear and heed.

Street Xamen.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
It will be with a great deal of gratifica
tion that many people in this country learn
of the recent determination of the Com
missioners of the District to honor General
Lse equally with General Meade at the
capital of the nation in the renaming of
the suburban streets by changing L to Lee
and M to Meade. It is a pity there cannot
be a Gettysburg avenue near by to make
the picture complete. Whether the use of
Jackson for another thoroughfare is in
tended as a tribute to the famous "Stone
wall" Jackson is not so apparent. Time,
with Its swing of years, brings about queer
changes. Who would have thought nigh
forty years ago, when our fellow-country
men were contending on the hills and plains
of Gettysburg as to which system of con
struction of the Constitution should pre
vail, that within an average lifetime the
vanquished would be equally honored at
the seat of government with the victor In
the naming of streets.
Of the prominent advocates of secession
in 18(50-61 William L. Yancy alone seems
to have been singled out for honorable
mention, but why his name should -have
been selected to distinguish a street and
not those of others much more talented and
far better known cannot be Imagined. Per
haps when the renaming of th^ main
streets of Washington occurs they will
come in for conspicuous recognition. Then
will our countrymen be truly able to say
that the names and fame of Davis and Lin
coln, Lee and Meade, Grant and Jackson
all look alike to them.
But apart from this it must be said#that
a historic name does not always bear a
euphonious sound, and that such words as
Kalorama or Takoma avenue have a much
more pleasing sound to the ear than Bar
num or Zane street. What Barnum is
meant, anyway T "The prince of show
men" or Barnum of Connecticut, who dis
tinguished himself in the campaign of 1880
with his block of mules?

Concerted Action by Filipinos in
Luzon and Cebu.
NO FIGHT ON THE CHURCH
From the Manila New American, July 12.
The antl-friar movement has be^n Inau
gurated In the islands and It has broken
out simultaneously in the north and south.
It is not confined only to Luion, but is
spreading over the southern islands. As
L?a Fraternidad says, it seems to be a con
certed movement against the friars?a
peaceful way of reaching what a majority
of the Filipinos consider a great evil and
against which they have battled many
years. The New American is in receipt of
information showing that most of the cen
tral provinces, especially the larger centers
of population, have been thoroughly or
ganized and that committees are working
everywhere to arouse the people for a war
fare against the return of the friars.
What has occurred at Pangasinan and
Cebu will probably be repeated elsewhere.
The friars are warned that they are not
wanted. Why they are not is a matter of
history, by which friars do not seem to be
able to profit. There is no disguising that
this is the inauguration of a revolution,
one that will be bloodless, let It be hoped.
That is a serious matter any thoughtful
man will recognize, but there need be no j
alarm, for there must be no breach of the j
peace. Wherever there are clashes there
will be found the strong arm of the govern
ment. It will brook no fractures of the
peace, though it will be slow to interfere in
so delicate a matter. The policy of the
I'nited States is to permit priests and lay
men to settle their own dlfft-rences. in their
own way, so long as they do not come to
blows. It is difficult to guess by what right i
the military threatened to interfere in the I
Cebu affair, as related below, though it
was perfectly proper for them to be at
hand to prevent an actual clash.
The fact is that heretofore the friars
ruled the Filipinos with an iron hand.
They owned tht-m body and soul, dictated ,
not only their religion, but their politics,
and had the Cebu affair occurred in Span- j
ish time the men who protested against the |
return of the friars would have been shot !
down by the military. All that is a thing
of the past on these islands, and the friars (
ought to recognize anu not press the limit.
The dominant power of any one religious
organization is forever dead. The Filipino
people realize that, and they also know
their rights. The present movement indi
cates that they mean tu exercise them to ;
the fullest limit.
This Is shown by the following account
of ttiis movement:
I'nitcKtK .tKuiiiNt Friar*.
DAGl'PAN, July lO.?It is learned today
that on Sunday next there will be peaceful
protests against all friars in this province, :
Benguet and to the northward. Secret I
meetings of natives have been held
throughout the province, and while It Is
difficult to ascertain just what is doing,
there is no doubt, judging by the temper of
the people, that the friars will be bluntly
told that they are not wanted here.
"We do not want the friars." said a
prominent and educated Filipino to me to
day. "and we do not mran to have them.
We love the church, but hate the friars,
and mean to exercise every peaceful right
we have under the American rule to keep
them away from us?away from our wo
men, especciallv our young women.
"This is a fight 4<*? years old on these
islands, and now that we feel free we feel
strong, knowing that the troops will not
shoot us down when we make our peaceful
protests
"The church owns the churches? Maybe it
does, by title, but generation upon genera- j
tions of Filipino manhood have paid for
them. We at least have an equity in them,
and if we care to walk out when a friar
j comes or the priests attempt to tell us
I what to do politically we can do so.
"Why do we oppose the friars? Read
; the history of the Philippines. They have
! been our real oppressors. They were the
| government. Now we want to preserve our
liberties, the sanctity of our homes, the
i purity of our sisters and daughters."
That is the sentiment I hear everywhere
I over this region. It is not a revolt against !
the church, but the friars.
It is difficult to get definite Information.
| but it is "in the air," and it is certain
\ that the movement is a concerted one. j
i There is much bitter feeling, but no dan
j ger need be apprehended?the leaders are
j clearly acting on gpecific instructions as to
their rights in the premised: even on legal
j advice. When I sugg^ted to one of the
j movers in the matter today that this action
I would probably call down upon the faithful
the anathema of the church, he promptly
j replied:
"The awful circle of the church which j
Cardinal Richelieu is said to have drawn is
110 longer effective. Light has dawned;
j liberty of thought and speech and con
: science has come. The people think for
I themselves. At the worst, the curse of
' Rome cannot be a circumstance to the
! curse the friars have been to these islands,
j and God will not be very hard 011 the Fil
! ipino who in defense of his home and his
j domestic honor and of his recently acquired
liberty will defy the friars?aye, Rome.
"And here," he said, "let me say that the
friars cannot longer control our women,
and where they do the women can no
longer control the men."
There's the spirit. What will we see? I I
repeat that this seems to be a peaceful
movement, but will it remain so?
Demountration In Cebn.
The New Day of Cebu has this detailed
and specific account of the demonstrations j
of the public against the friars in the
cathedral at that place on Saturday:
"All day Saturday nothing else was
spoken of In aristocratic circles, among the
bourgeois and among the popular masses
but the events of the morning. Seldom be
fore has a subject aroused so much wide
spread discussion among the common peo
ple.
"We say It without circumlocution that
the public, that great aggregation of diver
sified elements, that mass composed of the
learned and untaught, the rich and the
poor, those of lineage and the plebeian with
out, expressed their protest, as if obeying
a common sentiment, single and latent and
all Impulsed by the same desire.
"That such a sentiment exists cannot be
denied: the animadversion Is apparent. It
Is quite easy to say It now as the event has
occurred and we can comment on the oc
currence.
"It was announced that Father Pedro
Medina, an Augustian frlar, would preach
the sermon of St. Peter and St. Paul on
this occasion in the cathedral.
"After this became generally known |
among the public, comments were heard on j
all sides, and in public and private people
were saying: 'Is It not sufficient that the
friars should be allowed to come and go at
their free will? Shall they continue to ex
ercise their ministerial functions by public
utterance in the cathedral of the city
parish?'
"This action gives It the importance of a
provocation. (Referring to the announce
ment that a friar would preach in the pub
lic cathedral.)
The Cathedral Crowded.
? 'No,' reasoned others, 'It Is merely an
exploit or trial by which it will be demon
strated that It Is not the people as a whole
who are antagonistic to the religious sects,
but only a few rioters who, by occasioning
a disturbance in church will create the im
pression that it is the clamor of the public."
"El Pueblo (a newspaper) and the Ang
Suga (also a paper), by their constant op
position to anything pertaining to the
friars, had given sufficient notice and had
Inflamed the minds and memories of the
people to a high pitch.
"So on that Saturday everybody great
and small, went to the cathedral with avid
ity to know the result and see which of the
two contending factions would triumph.
"The church, as usual on such grand
solemnities, was full. Indeed crowded. The
great assemblage was unmindful of what
was going on and awaited but the Import
ant feature, the arrival of tha priest. The
better element began to get restless, and
when Father Medina was seen ascend In*
the pulpit a loud and genera! murmuring
commenced. The men left the church, only
a remaining In their seats.
"Prlar Medina read his representation,
stating that he had been authorised by his
holiness, the pApe, to preach the divide
word and addressed some bitter phrases to
the audience concerning their manifesta
tions (against the friars. &c.). His voice
was drowned by the gabble and shouting,
hissing and loud imprecations of those who
were outside.
For a second time he began to spe?k
and the chorus was repeated. Nearlv a!l
the women took flight through the near
est doors. frightened by this unusual dis
turbance. some even running through the
chancel. There remained but a small
group on the left-hand side of the churth.
who huddled themselves together near the
confessional. The few gentlemen who first
stayed now also went outside and there
then remained but three or four. It began
to dawn on Father Medina that the best
thing to do would be to get off the mil
pit and this he did.
"When the people outside heard the
thlv li fa"h l*"*inninS ?o be chanted

plied themselves to their religious de/o
tlons as if nothing had happened With
the exception of a few women who had

The Manila Xew American on July 11
contains the following concerning anti
friar outbreaks:
"Two Dominican friars and Padre Mamu
yac, the native priest, were mobbed by the
people of the pueblo of Calasiao, Pangasl
!V,n' ^,ine ln H demonstration against
the friars. The priest had to take refuge
ln the convent and the friars were hooted
until they took the train for Dagupan <n
their way home to Manuog, where they
have been stationed.
Through the Democracla the federal
party, upon receipt of the news from Cala
siao, issued a proclamation, which reads in
part as follows:
?' "The hostile demonstration with which
the inhabitants of Calasiao received the
two friars whose insolent visit they could
not countenance is approved generally bv
the press of Manila.
Tiie federal party does not interfere
in religious matters, but it affirms that the
friar question is purely political, and par
ticularly as the friars continue to claim
authority over the people and seriously
prejudice the progress, peace, happiness
and liberties of our people.
The action of the people is indorsed by
the federal party, and such action may
ser\ e as an example and precedent to be
observed when persons oppose d to peace
attempt to repeat outrages on the pejple
of other towns.
?' 'Do not use violence, but by more
peaceful manifestations demonstrate to the
American people that the Filipinos appre
ciate and will preserve the liberties which
American sovereignty confers."
'Great preparations had been made by
the natives of Calasiao, a town of 4,<hki
population, on the Manila and Dagupan
railroad, near Dagupan, to celebrate the
fiesta of San Pedro San I'ablo. The town
was decorated with banners and bunting,
and a program of music and other enUr
tainment was arranged, so that the towns
people could honor their patron saint as
in peaceful days.
Padre Mamuyac. the native cure, who
has shown his friendship for the friars
from time to time, invited two of the Do
minican order from Macuog. a place about
thirty miles distant, and off the railroad
beyond Dagupan. The populace had no
knowledge of this action on the part of the
padre, and everything promised a merry
fiesta until the native cure and the two
Dominicans made their appearance on the
plaza.
The entire populace displayed strong feel
ing against the friars. When one of them
started to speak he was hooted. Bad eggs,
tomatoes, mud and stones soon rained ori
the two friars, and the cries of "Out with
the friars" was upon* every mouth. The
two priests struck out for the convent f.>r
refuge, the crowd following, hooting and
throwing missiles after them.
The Star Spangled Itanner.
In vain Mamuyac endeavored to stay the
storm. He rebuked them for their lack of
hospitality. They turned on the padre anil
gave him as much mud as they did the Do
minicans. The padre declared he would ex
communicate them. The populace hooted
him and told him to join the ladrones, as
they called the Dominicans in the convent.
"Viva la excomunion," some cried, mean
ing thereby that they would be glad to be
excommunicated for chasing the friars out
of town.
The padre also took to the convent for
protection, as the missiles and hoots came
so fast. The populace followed them, and
surrounded the convent, where the friars
were told a few things they will not soon
forget. Then the populace turned to tear
down all the decorations, closed the pro
grain. and. gathering in front of the con
vent with their brass band, they waved the
American flag, while the band played "The
Star Spangled Banner," and with three
cheers for the banner they retired to their
homes, giving the friars a chance to sneak
to the station and take the train for Da
gupan, and even then the small boys kept
them in hot water.
The native cure is no longer popular with
the people of Calasiao. and it is understood
he has asked to be relieved.

A dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
A meeting was held today, attended by a

Gen. Sangully and Juan Gualberto Go

their support to any candidate they must

that he ought to be invited to set forth
his intentions more clearly.
Ultimately it was decided to appoint a
