BONDHOLDERS NOT SATISFIED
And They May l'rotcit Agalnit the Fro
posed Combination of the Road
With the C. L. and W.
System.
Trouble now seems to have arisen In
the reported combination of the 0., 0.
& S. and tbe W, & L. E. Both roads
have but recently beon in tbo bands of
a receiver, tho sale of the W. & L. E.
having been confirmed, but tbo 0., C. &
S. has not so far incoiporated and elect
ed it) officers. This will bo done this
week. Then the slow process of confir
mation of sale must be gone through
with. On Wednesday the claimants
against tho 0. 0. & 8. must appear in
U.B. Circuit Court and present their
claims. Most of the six month claim
ants have decided to accept 60 per cent
without contest which was oflerod some
weeks ago. In this connection, some of
the bond holders of tbe old Cleveland
and Canton are on tbe anxious seat as
to tho security of their holdings. The
bonds of the road are in two sots, one of
tbe Oloveland and Canton, while the
other covers the road from Coshocton to
Zanesville, which part was ordered
xbandoned by the railroad commission
ers on account of ifr unsafe condition.
This action leaves only tbe old Cleve
land and Canton, which alone is includ
ed in the salo to the syndicate. There
seems to be but two things for thoso
stockholders to do, one to put up
enough money to operate tho south
ern division, or to run it as a separate
vonlure in order to realize anything on
their investment. In a few days a com
mittee from these stockholders will be
in Cleveland to look after their inter
ests with the new owners of the road.

Manila, pril 11. General Lawton

gunboats Laguua do Bay, ltapldan and
Oeste, under tho command of Captain
Grant of the Utah battery, shelled the
city and outlying trenches.
General Lawton aud bis staff accom
panied tho troops, somo times leading
chargos in Indian fighting tactics
which ovoutunlly resulted in tho com
plete rout of tho robels, with tho small
est amount of dumngo to tho city and
slight loss to tho Americans.
The expedition started from San
Pedro Macati at dusk on Saturday, in
tending to captnro Santa Cruz by as
sault at daybreak. But in navigating
tho shallow, tortuous Pasig river, per
haps through tho cunning of the native
pilots, who wero not anxious to see the
tho Americans successful, sovoral boats
grounded and it was nearly dawn wheu
tho troops reached tho lako. Tho expe
dition then steamed cautiously forward,
tho Rapidan aud tho Oeste a milo abend
and tho Laguua de Bay guarding the
rear.
Robol signal flros, however, wero
lighted on tho mountain tops, giving
warning of tho approach of tho troops.
It was noon botoro tho whito church
towers of tho city appeared in the
shadow of tho great volcanic mountain
on a marshy plain dotted with occasional
palm groves.
Acnscowith a forco 'of 200 picked
sharpshooters, under Major Weisenba

inlet about fivo miles south of the city.
Then a few shells woro sent toward
tho entrenchments of tho rebels at the
edgo of tho woods, sending tho enemy
scampering inland.
Tr en a numnor or Americans jumped
into tho water and, wading for about
100 yards, crept forward aud formed in

Mcauwhilo in tho town itself there
was utter silence aud not a sign of biu.
Goneral Lawton, desiring to make nn
inspection aud to givu tho inhabitants

steamed slowly to tho dock, tho whole

Tho gutliugs cleared several trenches.
Tho wholo brigado was divided into

"Wheu tho alarm was given on the

commanding tho Tenth Pcnnsylvauia
infantry, moved out four couipauies
from their city barracks to support his
outposts, which had sustained an ob

from a forco stationed at tho Chinese

"After daylight tho Utah battery, sta

"Wheu within about 800 yards of tho

by a brilliant chargo, swept them from
their position, forcing them to retreat
in a northerly direction. Soon after the
regiment, together with a detachment
of tho First Montana and First South

was established, promptly entrenched
aud was still held at tho dato of tho re

Further along ho said: "On rccoipt

Sresentatiou of this phaso of tho defeuso
Ir. Quay brought to his aid tho skill of
David T. Watsou of Pittsburg, one of
tho ablest attoruoys iu Pennsylvania,
and ranking in fact with tho best In tho
country. Mr. Watson spoko on his sub
ject for nearly two hours aud had the
almost breathless attoution of a room
filled with tho legal lights of tho local
aud stato bar. Many of theso lawyers
oxpressed tho opinion that Mr. Watson
mado a very strong argument, what its
effect will bo upon tho judgo romaius to
bo scon.
Tho district attorney oponed the pro
ceedings iu this phaso of tho caso by
offering in oUleuco tho books of tho

and along with them tho account books,

of tho evidence offered by tho district
attorney was brought out at tho pre

Mr. Watson contended that the mere
fact that bank clerks, with no personal

a book, which figures purported to repre

no proof that tho monoy had beon re

argument is in liuo with tho dcfotifo's

Mr. Barlow created a sensation by the
statement that ho had brokou open the
dead cashier's desk and takon therefrom
tho books aud letters appertaining to the
Quay trial at tho behest of a mysterious
informant, who spoko to him over the
tolophono from llarrisburg aud stated
that thero was a plot ou foot to steal the
compromising documents that night. Hu
was, ho said, nover ablo to learu whe
his mysterious friend was. Tho fact
was gleaned from Mr. Barlow that tho
bank books and lotters wero practically
in tho coutrol of Judgo Gordon from
April until Soptombcr of last year. He
cousidcrcd this propor, as Judgo Gordon
was tho confidential advisor of Presi
dent McManos of tho bank.
Judgo Gordon gavo his testimony in
a quiot, convincing manner. Ho depre

Souator Quay that bavo boeu porsist

Quay and to others, including a partial
exhibition of letters to James M. Gut

Judgo Gordon nsked permission of
