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.
