flctive Search) Being Made For
the Would-be Assassin. But
Me Is Still at Large.
Kknnks, Autr. 11 11 p. m. The
following bulletin regarding tho con
dition of M. 1,-ibori was Issued at 10
o'clock :
"Tompornturo 37.05. No fever. Con
ditition btationary."
There hits boon, therefore, a Blight
improvement during tho laHt few
hours.
M. Lobori's motlicr arrived here
this overling, and a most affecting in
terview ensued. Later M. Labor!
received Matthieu Oroyfus, brother of
the famous exile. Thoro is .some talk
of M. Albert C!omcncenu,tho younger
of tho two irothorp,eoming as a substi
tute for Labori. Tho question, how
ever, will bo definitely decided tomor
row. M. Clemoueoau was one of
Zola's counsel at his trial, and has fol
lowed tho Dreyfus alTair very closely.
While ho lucks the magnetic influence
of Labori in pleading-, ho is extremely
i-kiliful in cro"s-exairiination .
KorlH of ip(urc li, founded.
There were several reports this
evening that the assailant of M. La
bori had been captured, but they
proved to bo unfounded. Detachments
of troops and gendarmes are boating
the woods, and scouring the country.
They have been engaged in this work
sill da- long without success! A groat
number of people saw the murderer
fleoing, but ho was either too far dis
tant from them or eLse ho succeeded
in cowing them by threats to use his
revolver.
The attempt made upon tho life of
M. Labori was evidently the roPult of
a plot. A letter was sept to the com
missary of police this morning warn
ing him that it was intended to raako
an attempt upon tho life of General
Mereier. Consequently, the police
and detectives uci ounded the general,
and left the other principals in tho
drama unprotected.

"An abi minal'le outrage, tho author
of which cannot claim to belong to

with appealing to the population to

ANOTHER AMERICAN VICTORY.
FALL OF MANILA CELEBRATED.
FIrat Nrhrunk Makes Merry on Annlver
ry of Notable Event.
SAM FllANClSCO, Aug. 13. Today
tho First Nebraska is celebrating the
anniversary of tho fall of Manila. Tho
roglrcont was ono of tho first to enter
Manila and many experiences and re
miniscences of the capture are retold
by tho boys to their inturunted friends. (
Company L celebrated tho event by
an elaborate dinner in its company
dining hall. Tho spread included all
the delicacies of the season and was
heartily enjoyed by tho boys and their
friends.
In the afternoon the camp was
thronge d with large crowds of visitors
and friends of tho regiment, although
the day was somewhat unpleasant ow
ing to tho winds raising clouds of dust,
which would circle around tho tents
and succeeded in coloring everyone
with a layer of dust. The regiment
has made many friends in San Fran
cisco by its good deportment and the
boys aro besieged with various invita
tions from their admirers, who seem
to enjoy the acquaintance of a Ne
braska soldier.
Private V. II. Mason of L company
has accepted a position in San Fran-oise-iand
will remain here indefinitely,
a large shirt manufactory having em
ployed him as a cutter. Sergeant
Luko Kasyraan, an ex-member of the
Thurston I lilies, paid the company a
visit today and talked over old time?.
Tho officers and non-commissioned
staff will bo exuminod by a United
States medical otlicor tomorrow at 1 p.
m. The health of the soldiers remains
in excellent condition today, nono hav
ing been sent to the hospital and prac
tically none sick in quarters.
There seems to bo pome doubt which
of tho several names given to the camp
is correct. The official title is simply
Presidio and all papers are signed un
der that heading.

San Francisco, Aug. 14. From
advices brought here by the trans
port Centennial it is believed tho .War
ren, b: inging the Colorado regiment,
which sailed from Manila July 16 and
which was expected to arrive here on
Wednesday next, will not reach this
port earlier than next Friday, the ISth
instant. After leaving Manila the
Warren ran up against a typhoon,
which battered it up considerably, and
has had to face also a mutiny among
its crew. As a result twenty-four of
tho Warren's crew underwent trial
and were sentenced for long terms
varying from three months to two
years, and the Warren is sailing for
San FrancUco with a green crew of
Filipinos. The mutiny was brought
about by one of the men claiming ne
was sick and refusing to work. Qe
was placed in irons. Every man in the
crew then quit work and declared they
would not resume until their comrade
was released and sent to the hospital.
Tbcj- were all court-mirtialed and

DESTROYING OLD CAR3.
Do Trains
F.asy Tiling to
Wrecked Dally.
From the Manufacturer: The Ame
rican Car and Foundry company has
lately bought 13,000 small wooden coal
cars from the Lehigh Valley rallroard.
These us?d to be run over the line, as
well as the Philadelphia and Reading
and other coal-carrying roads, but are
too smail for present uses, and they
have had to be discarded for cars bet
ter adapted to present conditions. They
were accordingly sold to the Car and
Foundry company for scrap, each car
containing approximately two and
one-half tons of scrap, not counting
the wheels and axles. The company
has also got hold of 3,000 box cars
which it was desired to break up. Ac
cordingly a piece of ground several
acres in extent was leased near De
troit, Mich., and 125 men were set to
work recovering the scrap from these
cars. Portable tracks were laid down,
a derrick was erected, shears for cut
ting cold iron were provided, and a
whole wrecking plant was fitted up. At
first it was the intention of the com
pany to turn the cars over to the Poles
and such other people as might desire
the privilege, giving them all the wood
thej- might get for tearing down of
the cars. This plan was not successful
however, because it was soon discov
ered that the wreckers were taking
more iron worth from half a cent to
one cent a pound than was desirable
and so the process of burning the cars
was adopted. Whenever It was possi
ble to do this the body of the car was
lifted from the trucks and swung over
to the cremation pile. In the case of
the coil cars they will not separate so
conveniently. Accordingly a train of
ten or fifteen cars is made tip. Then a
locomotive adjusts itself, without any
coupling, to this train, and with a
good start the train Is sent at great
speed out upon one of the portable
tracks. When at full headway the
train is abandoned by the locomotive
and the cars go pell-mell to the wreck
heap, piling one on top of the other
four or five deep. It is a veritable rail
way wreck, contrived intentially and
for a purpose. Those in charge of the
work say they can destroy about one
hundred cars a day, but that it will
probably be November or December
before the rvork is completed.

Manila, Aug. 13.-3:40 p. m. A
reconnois-mnce yesterday by troops of
General Samuel II. Young's brigade
with tho purpose of discovering the
whereabouts of tho enemy near San
Mateo, northeast of the San Juan
reservoir,about ten miles from Manila,
resulted in tho occupation of San j
Mateo.
Tho American loss was three killed
and thirteen wounded, including a
lieutenant of the Twenty-first infan
try.
The Americans approached San
Mateo in three columns. Major
Cronin, with fifteen men of tho
Twenty-lifth infantry, advanced from
Novaliches, fivo miles west of San
Mateo. Captain River, with 100 men
of tho Fourth cavalry, and Captain
Parker, formerly lieutenant colonel of
tho Twelfth New York volunteer regi
ment, with 280 men of the Twenty-first
and Twenty-fourth infantry anil tho
Fourth cavalry, approached in two
columns from the south.
Major Cronin experienced many dif
ficulties, arising from the condition of
the country, and failed to effect a
junction with Captain Kivera, wot of
San Mateo, as had been planned.
Captain Rivers advancing, took an
outpost of tho enemy two miles south
west of Sm Mateo. He then en
countered strong resistance among
the hills, the enemy firing from ex
cellent positions.
Having failed to connect with M jor
Cronin and seeing that tho town was
already occupied by the Americans,
Captain Rivers withdrew, covering
his withdrawal with a heavy volley.
Ho lost a sergeant killed.
Captain Parker on advancing found
the enemy strongly ontrenched on the
far sido of some rice fields about a
mile wide and covered with deep mud.
Pushing fo. ward raoidly, he routed
the Filipinos after forty minutes of
fighting and then continued the march
upon San Mateo, which bo entered
without serious resistance about 1:30
in the afternoon.
Major Cronin entered the town
about 4:30. The Americans still oc
cupy the place. Our men were ex
hausted by the heavy marching.
X wentv-three ol tno enemy are
known to have been killed.
This is the first action in which Col
onel Burt's colored troops partici-
Dated. They behaved well, their
leaders having difficulty in holding
them back.
General Young accompanied Cap
t;dn Parker's column and was under
fire throughout the engagement
It is estimated the enemy Eumbered
between 300 and 400 men.
Insurgents on the Aggressive.
8:40 a. m. Tho insurgents have
taken tho aggressive in the neighbor
hood of the railroad. On Saturday
night they unsuccessfully attacked
tan ijuis, on tne ltio liranae near
Calumpit, which is garrisoned by two
cioiDanies of the Twenty-second in
fantry. The Americans had one man,
a sergeant, killed and two privates
wounded.
Yesterday morning a similar affair
took place at Gringua, four miles west
of Malo'.ox where another small gar
rison is stationed as a safeguard
against a possible attack upon railway.
A special train took reinforcements to
Malolos and Guiginto, just north of
Bulacan.
While the Seven t'-'enth infantry dur
ing last Tuesday's battle was approach
ing Calumpit along throad,the troops
s.aw a group of fifty Filipinos outside
the town under a flfg of truce. Some
who were in white clothing held up
their hands to signify that they were
unarmed. Captain Hart with a de
tachment advanced cautiously to a
point within 203 yards of them, when
the Filipinos picked up their guns and
fired a volley. The Americans dropped
into the bushes unhurt on the first
movement and returned the fire. At
this the Filipinos ran off.
Word has been received from Lieu
tenant J. C. Gilmore of the United
States gunboat Yorktown, who with
fourteen members of the crew of the
gunboat was captured by the insur
gents last April near Baler on the
east coast of Luzon. The message,
which comes through Spanish prison
ers, is to the effect that the officer and
his men are at Vigan ia the province
of South Ilocos on the west coast of
Luzon. All but two are well. Lieu

tjaecr Customs in Madrid.
Senor Liniers, civil governor of Ma
drid, has just Issued an edict which
has aroused the displeasure of theater
goers, for, according to the edict, all
theaters in the capital of Spain must
hereafcer ciose at a reasonable hour at
night. In Madrid it has long been the
custom of theater-goers and other lov
ers of pleasure to turn night into day;
indeed, in this respect there is no other
city in Europe which can be compared
with it. True, an old police ordinance
says thai all theaters must close at
half-past twelve o'clock, but no one
pays the slightest attention to this reg
ulation. Theatrical performances be
gin frequently at half past ten aad do
not end until half-past two o'clock in
the morning. Various governors and
mayors, among them being Count de
Xiquina and Senor Aguilera, have at
times endeavored to rigidly enforce the
police ordinances, b-it their efforts have
been in vain, for the reason that the
theatrical managers of Madrid are un
usually influential, and are supported
by some of the leading papers. For
this reason many persons doubt
whether Senor Liniers will succeed in
his attempt at reform. The senor, how
ever, is a determined man, and he vows
that he will no longer allow the thea
ters to remain open until cockcrow.
