There is no expectation here that Lawton’s column will go far from the river or lakes, upon which supplies will be carried to him. The authorities appreciate the extreme difficulties of the campaign during the rair son, and all that they expect is that the American forces will make short incursions into the enemy’s country and break up any large organizations which may establish themselves in the vicinity of Manila, especially near Laguna de Bai. It is apparent from the line which Lawton is following and the dispatch of the Washington troops to Morong, that it is hoped to get the insurgents between that point, Tay- tay and Antipolo and the lake hemmed in so that they can be destroyed or captured. 25 ONCLIONONONON fl&('&i’&fl%fi)&fl&fl&fififimfib&i‘&o xm.\ll ‘ t = P 23088 g1 ‘-: bl 2!

The person in whose mind the design of that emblem orlginated has, by his statements, placed the committee in a false attitude so far as rejecting the emblem is concerned. The chairman of the committee, in accepting the wreath, did not know what entered into the formation of the emblem. When it was learned that the design contained the emblem of the American flag, supported by an arf clothed In the Confederate gray above an arm clothed In blue beneath, many members of the Grand Army of the Republic entered "their protests against the placing of the emblem upon the mound, in language that could not be misunderstood.

Be e eieie e e ed i ARIS, June 4.—-President | accompanied by the Premier, M Dupuy, and the chief of the mili- | tary household, General Bal-| | loud, drove to the Auteuil races | this afternoon, closely followed byl | Mme. Loubet in a second landau. As | they drove ong the Avenue des | Champs Elysee the crowd bowed re- spectfully; but on arriving at Auteuil, | they were met by a violent demonstra- tion, evidently organized and directed | against the President. There was a stor m of hoots, yells and | cries of anama,” “A Bas Loubet, and “Vive Il'Armee.” A few shouts of | “Vive Loubet,” were drowned in the clamor. am A strong force of police kept order | and arrested many of the disturbe including a man who tried to force his way to the President's carriage. | During the second race, the clamor increased to violence and was plainly directed by a committee of the League | of Patriots, collected with their sup-| porters, both before and behind the | Presidential stand, around which a formidable affray proceeded. During the grand steeplechase many blows' were struck and several police | were injured in their endeavors to pre- | vent an invasion of the Presidential | stand. i At the crisis of the excitement, while shouts of “Vive I'Armee” and “Vive| Deroulede,” were heard on all sides, | Count Christiani rushed toward the President, brandishing a stick and di- rected a blow against him, striking his hat. The crowd rushed upon Christiani, who only escaped severe handling by being taken under police protection. President Loubet remained all the | while quite unmoved, talking to the| Premier, while the officers of his mili- | tary household were defending him against violence. | Finally, after thirty arrests had been | made, the prefect of police ordered the | Republican Guards to surround the | Presidential stand. The principal lead- | ers of the demonstration were M. J eph Lasies, anti-Semite and National deputy for Gers, and M. Fermin Faure, Oran, Algeria. Police Inspector Grilliere had his head | seriously wounded in the melee, and President Loubet has since decorated | him with the cross of the Legion of | Honor in recognition of his devotion to duty. On returning to the Elysee Palace, M. Loubet received many sympathizing caller: It seems certain that the demonstra- tion was organized by the Jeunesse Royaliste, the Ligue des Patriotes and the anti-Semites, the rallying signal being a carnation in the buttonhole. Count Christiani is a member of the steeplechase society, a very select body, and his conduct has produced the | greatest indignation. A special meeting of the Council was summoned at 9 o’clock tnis evening to | consider the situation and important measures were concerted, to be submit- ted to the President at another council te-morrow, for the preservation of or- der. The Ministers, who were in ses- sion until 11 o’clock, maintain strict re- serve as to the nature of the measures, but a semi-official note has been issued, which says: “The Government will act with the greatest energy and will impose respect for the President and for the State.” It is reported that 4 number of fresh arrests will be made to-morrow morn- ing.
