The most DEATH ON A STEAMER. sion which manifested itself some time ago over the attitude of Aguinaldc and the Philippine ingurgents, has not entirely disappeared, though the administration believes they will accept the situation without a conflict with the United States. The matter was discussed at the cabinet meeting yesterday, and some of the views expressed indicate a possibility that the insurgents may yet have to be dealt with. Meanwhile however, the president expects serious trouble with Aguinaldo will be avoided, but at the aame time lias guarded against an outbreak by taking precautionary measures. The American force already in occupancy of part of the Philippine is regarded as altogether adequate tc cope with any emergency that may arise. The future government of the islands came up incidentally, and Secretary Alger made some suggestions as to details of a military government oi the islands. LOADED FOR BANDITS. Train Roblier Run t'p Agilmt a "Loaded Train. , Sodalin, Mo., Nov. 30. An attempt was made by three men to hold up a Missouri Pacific train which resulted disastrously for the would-b- e robbers. It seems the officials got wind of the plan to hold up the train and had detectives on the train when the robbers attempted to hold it up. The engineer was signalled to stop and the robbers opened fin, which was answered by the officers on board. During the fight one of the robliers was wonnded, and one, Jim West, a freight engineer in the employ of- the company, was captured. A posse is after the other two men and their capture is only f question of time. Rival Republics at Wan Manilla, Not- - 30.

In sonic of the islands hostilities arc proceeding between rival republics. it ia reported a section of the insur' gents, called the guards of honor, who are opposed to Aguinaldo. have captured San Ignacio, in the province oi I'angarin, island of Luzon, at the in' stance of the Spanish priests. disastrous accident in the history of Stockton occurred near Fourteen Mile Slough, when a part of one of the boilers of the river steamer T. C. Walker was blown out, killing six and dangerously wounding eleven persons, while probably fifteen or tweniy others were more or less badly hurt. The T. C. Walker is owned by the California Navigation & Improvement company, and ran between San Francisco and Stockton. The majority of the passengers were in bed when the explosion occurred, and were awakened by the report, which was as loud as a cannon's roar. People rushed from their rooms in their night clothes, and found the whole forward portion of the steamer's upper works blown away. The electric lights had been put out. and the escaping steam enveloped the front portion of the boat until it was impossible to see how much of the boat had been carried away. Captain John Tulan was blown from his bed against the door of his stateroom, rcceiviug injuries which prevented him frnm moving, anil he was literally roasted to death where he lay. Chief Engineer Henry and his wife were blown through tlie roof and died a short time afterward, both suffering horribly. W. A. Blunt, a passenger, was instantly killed, while Jerry Daily, the fireman, was so severely scalded by steam that lie died a few hours later. Underneath the lower duck, where the deck hands slept, groans ami screams were heartrending. The unfortunate imprisoned men received the full effect of the steam as it came from the boilers. Eghtof them were almost roasted alive. Those who were able miule their way to the deck as lest they could, while the more seriously injured were unable to get out Tha arms and faces of those near the main entrance were frightfully scalded.

The four walls of the engine room were demolished by the force of the explosion. The lower deck, hurri-ca- n deck ami Texas deck were wrecked in the portion directly over the engine room. The direction of the flying debris was upward and outward toward the bow. If it had been the other way the loss of life would be much greater. WILL ACCEPT INDEMNITY ANI CEDE THE PHILIPPINES. My E utr a Protest Against tlie A uteri-n- u of Hi Protocol Hi Phlllppliiee as AltVi-liiinull A gut nut Hi Proceedings Generally. Inti i Madrid, Nov. 28. The cabinet has Concluded that tlie wisest policy is to ' accept the American terms, leaving to the Spanish commissioners full power to secure the best possible indemnity and to place on record, if tlie American comuiiMidiiiiers will permit, a protest against the American interpretation of the protocol as affecting the Philippines aud against the proceedings generally. The decision of the cabinet is approved in political and financial circles. Tlie deliberations of the ministers were very protracted. Senor Duke Almodovar del Bio and Senor luigeerver had great difficulty in inducing some of their colleagues to accept the small indemnity. Undoubtedly the situation is hard and critical, but ministers say that Senor Sagasta is determined to confront all opposition until the cortes is convoked, probably at tlie end of December, when he will demand a vote of confidence, virtually implying approval of the treaty and the conservation of his party. Washington, Nov. 23. President McKinley is iu receipt of a dispatch front Judge Day in which ho states positively that tlie Spanish commissioners-wilformally accept the terms of the United States at the next meeting. Sa-gas- ta, l PLAN3 OF DON CARLOS. Will Taka the Eielil In Strain as Soon as the T rrnty of 1esi-- is Signed. London, Nov. 29. An English Car-li- st positively assorts that Dun Carloo1 army will take the field in Spain soon after the treaty is signed. He declares that a loan has been fully financed, and that it is divided equally between France and England, and he adds that after the English capitalists were shown the evidences on which Don Carlos chances of success are based, they offered several times the amount asked. The English Carlists assert that much more money would huve been secured had it not been for the fact that Don Carlos stipulates that there should be no assistance from Jews, as lie is apprehensive of their obtaining financial control of the monarchy. Continuing, it is asserted that the Spanish government has known for some time that Don Carlos possessed an army, organized into battalions and batteries, officered and largely armedr but the Spanish ministers counted on his failure to secure funds. Therefore, the Spanish government is said to and to be endeavoring to make the Spaniards believe that Great Britain lias agreed .to finance Don Carlos, and that he, in return, to cede tlie Canary islands to Great Britain in the event of success. LYNCHING NEGROES. A Mississippi Moli Making It warm for Men. the-Blac- Meridian, Miss., Nov. 28. Reports have reached here that three negroes were lynched last night four miles west of Meridian. Newton county farmers are said to be ou the trail of others implicated in an assault on a white man, who came to Meridian on Friday from Newton county and was pursued and fired upon by the negroes. A mob of armed farmers left for the scene, and while no definite news has been received from them, it is believed they have summarily dealt with that the blacks. Early today a frightened negro reported to the sheriff that a mob of white men were shooting into negro houses and threatening to kill every negro in the community. He said they fired over a hundred shots into the house of the ringleader of Fridays-troubleThe sheriff organized a posse and started for the scene, but on arrival could find no trace of the white men nor any corpses. However, the three negroes concerned in the outrage had "disappeared, and it is Raid the mob had taken them in charge. . MARINES LANDED IN CHINA. Unci Sam's Bine Jacket Tlon Tsln.
