The Rebels Construe the Return oi
Volunteers t0 Mean That the
Americans Are Disconraged
and Giving Up the Fight.
MANILA. J1me 23.'—The outposts ot
the \Vashington regiment have captured
General Pio del Pilar’s brass band of 82
pieces.
The members of the band somehow be-
came separated from the rebel army and
came near the American lines without
having the means of resistance. Some
Thinamen of Manila have filed a.claim
against the instruments. which, it ap-
pears, were leased by the musicians of
General Pio del Pilar.
Four of the wounded in the Fourth
regiment’s recent fight with the rebels
have died in hospital.
The rebels have learned that the Amer-
ican volunteers are returning to the Unit-
, ed States, and the Filipino newspapers
show they construe this to mean that the
Americans are abandoning the war and
are encouraged thereby.
Details of the sentencing of Colonel
Arguelles, a Filipino commissioner, to 12
years’ imprisonment have just been ob-
tained here. It was at first reported that
his condemnation by the Filipinos was
due to the friendship be displayed to-
ward Americans, but the informatipll
just obtained shows the accusation
against him was not based on his peace
conferences at Manila, as supposed. They
confirm President Schurman‘s beliefin
his sincerity and show that his advocacy
of autonomy among the insurgents .was
treated as treason.
The charge against the colonel was
that in conversation with Filipino offi-
' cers he predicted that disorders within
the insurgent territory would lead to civil
war, and therefore he said he considered
autonomy under the Americans prefera-
ble to independence. '
~ The Filipino congress tried him on the
charge 3? tifiasbn, and a heated debate
over autonomy followed. Finally the
.emlonel was sentenced to death, but this
rwas commuted to 12 years’ imprisonment
. on account of his previous services to the
cause after an elodlient p ea upO‘n the
part of his counsel. Colonel Arguelles is.
one of the most conservative and respect-
- ed men identified with the insurrection.

Explosion at Eddystnne Print ‘Vorks
CHESTER. Pa.. June 23.—-An explo-
sion occurred in the chemical house of
the Eddystone print works last night,
blowing the building to pieces and de-
stroying a laboratory valued at $25,000.

All the chemists happened to be out of
the building at the time, and no one was
injured. The explosion was due to the.
burning of some British gum, which, it
is thought, heated a quantity of chloride
of potash. The concussion blew barrels,

white vapor ascended high in the air,

of the trip he took to Berlin in company
with Dr. Zorn, and the German dele-
gates have been instructed to take part
in the deliberations of the arbitration
committee, which will now continue brisk
