"NINTH YEAR. PHCENTX, AKIZONA, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIIi 20, 1899. TH2 A MYSTERIOUS FATE The Disappearanc3 of the York-' town's Men Reported. A. COMFORTING THEORY That They Have Been Rescued from the Filipinos bv the Spanish Garrison Which Thev Risked Themslves to Save The Euro pean Junta Has Another Cablegram.

Manila, April 19. Admiral Dewey has been' notified of the strange disappearance of J. Gilmo're and fourteen members of the crew of the United' States gunboat Yorktown. On Saturday last the Yorktown anchored off Baler on the east coast of the island of Luzon and about 200 miles from where there was a Spanish garrison cf about 50 men, which had been defending litself against several hundred Filipinos for months past. Gilmore, Ensign W.

H. Standley and a boat's crew were sent up 'the liver from Balei; Bay to communicate with the Spaniards, the town of Baler be-ling situated some distance dnland. Ensign Sbandley who landed at the mouth of the river, reports that he heard three volleys, a bugle call and cheers from up the river, but that the automatic gun, which was part of the equipment of the boat was not heard firing. Standley later paddled to the Yorktown in a oanoe. Search was made for the Yorktown's boat and crew, but no trace of them was found, tind the Yorktown sailed for Iloilo, from which place her commander reported to Dewey his theories, that the Filipinos had captured or sunk 4he boat, or that ithe Spaniards had rescued the American party.

A scouting party of American troops today found a rebel skirmish line more than a mile long east of Malolos. A sharp fusilade followed but no losses were sustained, Brigadier -General Charles King who had been taken suddenly ill, and who unable to continue in command of his brigade, has been relieved of further duty and ordered to return to the United States on the first transport sailing from here for home. THE GARRISON OF BALER. Barcelona, April 19. El Diario eulogizing the.

Spanish garrison consisting of a captain, two lieutenants, doctor and foity-eight men who had been defending Baler against the Filipinos says: "General Rios recently sent Captain Olmedo to order the garrison to evacuate, as B'aler no longer belonged to Spain. Olmedo, after great difficulty, got within fifty Metres of the house in which the Spaniards were fortified. He managed, however, to deliver his instructions, but the garrison simply continued to fire from tits fortified quarters ana Captain Olmedo was compelled to return to Manila without a reply." THE JUNTA 'HEARS SOMETHING. London, April 19. The Filipino European junta claims to have received a cablegram from General Luna "Commanding the Manila district," direct from Manula on Friday declaring that General Lawton, "Whose object was to proceed to Baler and effect a junction with the Yorktown," was inveigled by Filipino tactics into "perilously extending his line with ihe result that his column, consisting of 140 officers and men, on reaching a place called Bingangonam, wa3 umbushed by a ilarge Filipino force, communicating with the main force, was severed and his entire force was captured." Filipino advices further assert that General Lawton, who was' at Laguna de Bay, on hearing the news, "retired to Manila, stating that he had been recalled by Major- General Otis, on the ground that a native uprising in Manila was 'imminent." ENEMY TIRED OF WAR.

Washington, April 19. The following cable has just been received from Genial Otis: "Manila, April 19. "Adjutant General, Washington. "Lawton returned from the country on the 17th bringing the captured vessels. The insurgents are very much scattered and" retreat oe-fore our forces.

IRON AND STEEL Increase of Exports and Tallinn Off of Imports.

Washington, April 19. (Special.) No other feature of the wonderful success of American manufacturers iin xuieign maricers nas Deen quite so wonderful that pertaining to iron ana steel. While the exportation of manufacturers in the fiscal year 1899 is likely to show an increase of more than $30,000,000 over that of last yeair, that of iron and steel alone will sup ply more than one-half that lincrease. firth eight mourns oi tne nscai year for which the treasury bureau of sta tistics figures are now available, the exports of iron and steel are nearly $16,000,000 greater than the corresponding months of the preceding fiscal year, and show a gain cf 36 per cent over those cf last year, and nearly 0 per cent over those of the preceding year. In importations of iron and steel there lis a reduction as compared with last year, though not in so mark ed a degree, the falling off in imports for the 8 months being but 10 per cent, while the corresponding period of last year showed a reduction of 21) per cent.

The following figures show the im ports and exports of manufacturers of iron and steel in the 8 months ending with February in each of che last three fiscal years: riscaiJ year. Imports. 8 1S97 $10,517,588 Exports. 42,864,262 58,377,784 classes of 1898 8,397,977 18S9 7,564,958 'Nearly all of the great iron land steel manufactures show an increase over last year. Exports of wire nails, of which the exportation in 8 months of the fiscal year 1897 were 16,138,325 pounds, in 8 of 1898 were 28,397,735 pounds; exports of hars or rods of steel increased from 18,720,798 pounds to 37,708,442 pounds: steel plates and sheets, from pounds to 64,784,620 pounds, and wire from 80,056,290 pounds to pounds.

Railway engines show an lincretasc of nearly 50 per cent the value of those exported in the 8 months of this fiscal year being $3 178,642, against $2,260,570 in the corresponding months of last year, and $1,958278 in the same months cf the preceding year, and in exports cf electrical and metal working machinery an equally large increase is apparent. While a comparison of the exports of the 8 months of the present fiscal year with corresponding months of the two earlier years shows a marked gain and is therefore interesting, a better view cf the real progress of th( iron and steel industry is obtained by a comparison of the imports and exports for a term of years. An examination of the figures of the imports and exports of iron and steel and the manufactures thereof from' 1880 to 1898 shows (that the imports are now but one-fifth what they were in 1880, while the exports are five times what they were in that year. Thus the American manufacturers, besides occupying four-fifths of the field which foreign manufacturers were then supplying, have at the same time increased their exportations 400 per cent.

By the Time the Island is Pit for Self-Covernment American In terests Will Be so Firmly Plant ed They Cannot Be Uprooted.

Havana, April 19. The American flag will never be lowered from Cuba. of tla the isliu.1 annexed. No one who visits Cuba can have any doubt upon this point. CI course this is not the prospect wu.ch pleases Gomez.

Gomez and his fellow-generals are hungering for the flesh pots of Cuba. They know how Spanish officials grew immensely rich through feeding vcom the public crib, and they are praying that the day may hasten when their own turn will come. Outside of this class which is not numerous the universal sentiment is for annexation. The Spanish merchant's, desire in this direction is due to two causes. In the first place, his commercial instinct tells him that under American control there will be peace and prosperity; and, secondly, his national pride resents he idea of Cu'bans being placsd in authority over him.

"Wc know," said Senor Freyre de Andrade, of the Conchiia sugar estate, "that we have everything to gain and nothing to lose by annexation. We know it means protection to cur property, the just administration of laws, and an economical and honest government. Knowing all this, we hope that in the near future we can come, as a people to the United Srates and, asking for annexation, be taken into your family." Nor is this desire for annexation confined to the Spaniards. Dr. Zan-netti, who inherits from Swiss ancestors his love of liberty, and who was treasurer of the revolutionary committee of IMatanzas province, when asked what would be the best solution of the Cuban problem, he answered without any hesitation, "American control" "Why?" he answered Tn "English, "our people have not had any experience in governing.

You have wise statesmen and an army and navy. Ws have nothing. We might fight among ourselves, but we couid not fight anybody else." 'Is the sentiment very general for annexation?" "There are some who want inde pendence," he replied, "but they have no intelligence. They have no eyes to see what is good for us." I It hardly needs a prophet to predict that annexation is certain to come. The conditions under which such a result can be accomplished, the Oaws that will he necessary, the adjustment of commercial interests renuired all these are problems to which the great est amount of care must be given.

For instance, if Cuba should be annexed in such manner that its products could enter the United States free of duty, a most disastrous blow would be dealt at the interests of the southern states. Cuba is one vast garden. Its fertility cannot he described without apparent, exaggeration. A radish seed placed in the ground today, will, in seven days be a plant ready for the table. In Santiago can be seen today a grape vine fii'led with well developed grapes, and yet the ripe fruit was picked last January less 'than three months ago.

Four crops a yean- can be harvested here. There Is no way, at present, of de ciding just what the future of the isl and shall be. The Cuban assembly represented nothing except the political element in the army, and the idea of submitting any question to the people to be decided by popular vote is absurd. In the first place, forty per cent of the population of the island is negro, of a class (beside which the negro of the' states is a bright and tower ing example cf intelligence. The Cubans those who have a trace of Spanish blood are utterly incapable of exercising the right of sufirage whh any appreciation of its meaning.

Some years must elapse before the military protectorate of the United States can be withdrawn, if the 'Island is to enjoy peace and prosperity. In the meantime we will be pouring men and treasure into Cuba. If the Unired States does not get something in return the world will witness the greatest example of national self-sacrifice and unselfishness ever seen. There is no way to secure any return excejpt to take the island. The people respect the United States.

In Havana the few soldiers in the provost guard exercise a more powerful influence upon the disorderly than the thousand Cuban policempp who stand at street corners and twirl their long clubs. The same is true of Matanzas, Santiago, and Cienfuegos. Colonel Black, the former engineer commissioner at Washington, tells an interesting story. In establishing police stations in Havana it was necessary to rent some buildings in districts where the Spanish government had previously had no public struc- ures. When the contract was drawn.

it provided that "the city of Havana should be the lessee of ithe property The owners, however, refused to sign the document uniiess the lessee was the United States. They did not care to trust the local government, even to the extent of a month's rent. This is the sentiment all over the island. The intelligent, far-seeing people realize that American control means quiet and prosperity. They are tired of war.

They want to see their fields yielding richly, their beautiful harbors crowded with shipping. All this they could and would enjoy under such administration as they are now receiving.

MARTIN AND AGEE'S REVOLT The Local Bosses of Pittsburg' and Philadelphia Resented Their Master and Teacher's Interference in Local Politics and Joined the Great Conspiracy to Crush Him. Harrisburg, April 19. Of aH that has been written in relation to the strange senatorial contest in progress here, nothing has tosen published which throws any clear light upon the creation of existing factions, which has led up to the present crisis in the career of Senator (Matthew Stanley Quay.

Upward of fifty republican legislators have steadily cast their ballots for an anti-Quay republican, leaving 'the ex-senator less than thirteen votes short of re-election. But the reai independent, the conscientious, anti-machine vote is almost nil. The opposition to Quay is almost wholly factional, the leaders of it, Flinn of Pittsburg, and (Martin of Philadelphia, having a history redolent -of political cunning and manipulation, and rich in political profit. Quay's dilemma does not iin the least result, therefore, from any new accession of pciiltical piety among tha people or the legislators Pennsylvania, or to any influence of -the priestly layman and merchant prince, Mr. John Wanamaker.

The ex-senator's WTecked 'political 'fortune, if that be the finale, is solely due to the antagonism, and unrelenting, of men who a few years ago were members of his own political family, eating of his bread, drinking of tis fine wines, absorbing from most intimate association such wordly wisdom aa has made the "machine" Pennsylvania since the early career of "old Simon Cameron the, most -compqt or-' ganization of its kind in the whole country. For long years, up to 1877, when Don Cameron was first elected to the United States senate, his father resigning upon a Saturday, and Don's election being; made good the following Tuesday (one of those cunning coups for which the old man was notorious), Bob Mackey had been' manager cf political affairs lor Cameron, and manipulator of legislatures for all those influences which sought to control legislation. Mackey was a child of the aCleys, where ancestry was obscure, but he came by a mere accident under the tutelage of Cameron, and developed into the shrewdest manipulator of men and measures ever known to the state, and his equal has prooably never lived in the United States. Slight of figure, almost skeleton, for years before his death gasping for breath, a prey to consump tion, sitting iin a chair or. often lying in bed to direct the politics of agreat state, his eyes glaring from their deep sockets like coals of fire, he seejaed the very incarnation of Lucifer In that day Quay was something of a factor, but only by grace of Mackey and of his patron Cameron.

Mage and Flinn were hut youths, learning the trade of politics, happy in success ful manipulation of wards of Pitts burg. Martin had not grown 'beyond the day of swaddling clothes. Quay usually managed to keep to the front iin office, however, and with the retirement of Simon Cameron from activ politics, followed by the death of Bob Mackey, he came to the head of affairs as the engineer of the old Cameron machine. Don Cameron was as reserved and exclusive and sullen as his father had been suave, genial -and insinuating. Knowing his unsocial qualities would make him unpopular he refused, mix with the people.

The active mark cf maintaining conrtoii being left to Quay, it is no wonder that soon took the reins wholly into his own hands, and from that time for years the silent man from Beaver dominated everything: and even Cameron, though often (restive and rebellious, became a mere puppet in Quay's hands. Many of the lieutenants tho elder Cameron had reached the age of retirement, and Quay cast about for clever, and aggressive men to renew the vigor of his organization. Magee and Flinn became the masters of politics, state and municipal at Pittsburg, and a little later Martin and Penrose, young men all, at Philadelphia. The names of "Chris" Magee. "Billy" Flinn, "Dave" Martin and Boies Penrose soon came to be as well known in the state as that of "Matt" Quay.

In their cities these young knights soon put all antagonists to rout in the political tournament. No municipal contract could he given without their sanction. Whatever (Continued on Eighth Page.).
