Hudson, June 3. A battle with four tramps in a box car attached to a fast freight running out of New York on the Central-Hudson railroad, took place when "Budd" Fowler, second baseman of the Cuban Giants, was attacked and beaten in a most brutal manner until unconscious and robbed of some money and valuables.

Fowler was on his way to his home in Fort Plain and had "jumped" the freight in the Harlem jams. When the freight reached Peekskill the four tramps entered the box car and began discussing a robbery supposed to have been committed in or near Peekakiil. When a short distance from the city the tramps attacked Fowler and beat him into insensibility. He was discovered by a trainman and the police of this city were notified by wire. Sergeant Cruise with a posse started on a wildcat engine in puisuit 01 the robbers and three of iheni were held up at the point of pistols near Coxsackie and brought here.

Recognition of their belligerency or independence could not have won th6 struggle for them, unless it led to a collision between Spain and the United States. Many things go to show that the forces of the insurgents are weaker than they were a year or two ago, and it is quite probable that if they had not been upheld by the assured help of the American republic they would have still further weakened within the last few months.

Here we have the key to the general continental situation. The disposal of the Philippines is what is going to keep the powers in Europe apart The American flag has been hoisted in that archipelago and there is not much prospect that it is going to be lowered, if lowered it ever be but on terms approved by the Government of the United States.
