internecine war averted.
Aguinaldo’s Rival Generals Wanted to
Fight Each Other.
A special received Monday from
Manila states that only the entreaties
of Aguinahlo averted a civil war be
tween the forces of his two rival gen
erals, Luna and Mascardo, just before
the battle of Santa Tomas occurred
last w eek. The two generals were ac
*
tually drawn up in battle array.
This and a positive comfirmation of
the news that Luna has been danger
ously wouuded in the shoulder* in the
battle of Santa Tomas are the most im
portant items of intelligence brought
to Manila Monday by the army gun
boats, La Guna de Bay and Cava
uonga, which returned from a brisk
expedition up the San Fernando river.
It was immediately before the bat
tle of San Tomas that the insurgents
so nearly arrived at the point of be
ginning to exterminate one another.
General Luna, when he saw' that an
engagement with the American troops
was inevitable, sent back an aid post
haste to Bacolor, where General Mas
cardo was, demanding re-enforce
raents.
Mascardo’s reply was that he would
take orders from no one but Aguinahlo.
This defiance soinfuriated Luna that
in spite of the impending conflict with
the common enemy he took 1,500 of
his soldiers and made a forced march
to Bacolor with the intent of chastis
ing his comrade in arms.
Mascardo was nothing loth to fight
it out and ordered his command into
line of battle. Shouts of hatred and
defiance were heard on both sides.
Outside the opposing forces the in
surgent camp was all confusion.
Aguinaldo, terrified by the situation
ordered his chief of staff, Colonel Ar
gueless, to make peace at all hazards.
The soldiers had loaded their pieces
are were waiting for orders to begin
the onslaught when Argueless gallop
ed between the lines frantically wav
ing a flag of truce.
There was an angry conference be
tween him and the rival generals.
Aguinaldo was drawn into it. With all
the intensity at his command, he beg
ged Luna and Mascardo not to plunge
the Filipino forces into civil strife at a
time when they were already broken
and demoralized by successive defeats
at the hands of the Americans. His
entreaties prevented for the time being
any further demonstration.
Luna sullenly returned to the front,
after the commanding general had
provided him with re-enforcements,
and ordered Mascardo to be court
martialed for not having them sent at
first.
The battle of Santa Tomas followed,
and Luna, on whose feroeity in the
field Aguinaldo placed his chief re
liance, received wounds that will
surely disable him for the rest of the
campaign and may cause his death.
JOHNSTON’S SUFFRAGE VIEWS.
Alabama’s Governor Sends a Commu
nication to Legislature.
Governor Johnston, of Alabama,
set at rest Tuesday the charges cf
bis enemies that he fought the hold
ing of a constitutional convention for
the reason that he opposed the elimi
nation of the ignorant negro vote by
transmitting to the house and senate
a message in these words:
Gentlemen of the General Assem
bly— Having repealed the bill submit
ting to the electors the question of
calling a constitutional convention, I
respectfully submit to you that an
equally imperative duty still remains,
it is no less important that you con
sider and adopt and submit to our
people for their ratification such wise
amendments to our constitution as will
more securely establish the government
of our state in the hands of those whose
wisdom and patriotism will guarantee
to our people security to person and
property and equality in the burdens
ami opportunities of citizenship. This
1 . y rests equally upon every member
without regard to political association
or honest differences as to the best
method to secure these ends.
Li the consideration of this grave
matter w e should not permit any per
s a! feeliii' or desire for political ad
•auiage or memory of past differences
possess our heads or obscure our
patriotism. I respectfully recommend
your consideration be directed
' m tiy to the preparation of a suffrage
' | ‘ 'linent and an amendment to
iKe the terms of members of the
muieial assembly and all county and
■ 11 e officers, except judges of our
Ul gher courts, four years. This will

tropolitan Purse.
A New York dispatch says: Racing
in real earnest for 1899 began Saturday
at Morris park. When the time came
for the Metropolitan handicap there
were at least 20,000 people at the
track.
Shortly before 4 o’clock the candi
dates for the Metropolitan, fourteen
in .pll, were sent out for their final
furlong through the stretch and every
one was full of life. The closing of
the betting showed Filigrane a consist
tent favorite all the way through. The
race was hotly contested but Filigrane
went under the wire two lengths to the
good.
