Though the authorities insist that Major Chaffee, commanding the Mili- tary Division of the Philippines, be- lieves his present force ample, their statements are not in accord with of- ficial expressions General Chaffe has made and which he has reported to the department. General Chaffee says that the whole people of the Philippines areengaged in making war upon the United States. The few Filipinos who are friendly to the United States are those holding office, and the officers who discussed the situation to-day assert that their loyalty willcontinue only so long as they have the oppor- tunity of drawing American dollars. The Filipinos have established their bravery by attacking with belos American troops whose gallantry is unquestioned and whose ability te shoot straight has been shown by the thousands of casualties suffered by the natives. GENERAL CHAFFE’S VIEWS. General Chafiee’s views of thesitua- tion are well expressed in an indorse- ment he placed upon the findings of a military commission which sat at Fernando de la Union, Luzon, and tried Francisco Peralta, a leader ofa band: of insurgents, on the charge of murder. Peralta admitted that his bolomen lived within the lines of the United States forces, wearing the or- dinary native dress, and seemingly following peaceful occupations. The band came together at night for the purpose summarily killing those of their neighbors who were friendly to the American Government. Peralta stated that he had killed seven men incompliance with the general orders of bis superiors, and he claimed that | all natives friendly to the Americans were traitors. General Chaffee con tinued: “Insurgent soldiers in civilian dress lurked about and among the American garrisons. With de- ceptive cunning they obtained cedulas from the American authorities, and while abiding their chance tosurprise and assail American troops orassas- their neighbars who were ordinary sinate friendly to those troops, pretended to | be peaceful neighbors and good friends. What is true of the locality of these crimes is known to be true} everywhere throughout all the prov- inces that have joined the insurrec- tion. But when a whole people delib- erately adopts a methed of waging war contrary to the recognized laws of war, those laws, following the en- lightened and humane sentiments of the most civilized nations, do not sanction that a sentence of exter- mination shail issue against a whole people.” A Fiendish Attack.

OCTOBER 31, THIRTY PERSONS KILLED IN LOUISIANA RACE WAR. | Negroes Attempt to Lynch One of Their Color Whe Had Applied the Torch to Bill Morris, Assailant of a } White Woman. | | New Orleans, Oct. 28.—Thirty per- j sons, whites and negroes, were killed | yesterday and to-day, in a race war | at Balltown, Washington Parish, | Louisiana. Thisis the latest news from the seat | of war by Sheriff H. N. Simmons of} Washington Parish, who yesterday telephoned to Governor Heard that he is unable to preserve peace there, and that the trouble is likely to con- tinue, unless troops can be sent to the scene of the treuble. Governor Heard at once took ac- tion, and called on General Glynn of the First Louisiana Brigade to for- ward troops to Balltown at once. IDEAL PLACE FOR A RIOT. Balltown is in the extreme eastern portion of Washington Parish, two miles from the Pearl River, which divides Mississippi and Louisiana on the east, four miles from the Missis- sippi line on the north, and twenty- one miles from Columbia. The country is wild, there being no railroad and few means of communi- eatien. The population is mainly white, there being few negroes. “Bill” Morris, a negro, was burned at the stake in Balltown last Wed- nesday for assaulting a white wo- man, Mrs. Jobn Ball, who is still ina precarious condition. The negro was chained to a pine sapling and a pile of pine knots placed around him, saturated with oil. These were set er fire by a negro whom the mob compelled to perform this service. The burning caused intense indigna- tion among the negroes in the neigh- borhood, because it was one of their own race who started the fire. Ata negro meeting held in Ball- town at 4 o’clock yesterday the ac- tion of this negro and it was resolved to mete out to him the same fate Morris had met. A party of negroes was formed for that purpose and went to his house to lynch him. When the news reached the white citizens that the negro, who had sim- ply carried out their will was to suf- fer death, several of them went to his ue. The fight then began.

Squads of men were reported pa- jtrolling the vicinity of Balltown, looking for negroes. The latter had intrenched themselv and a great deal of firing resulted. Some of the t negroes fied over the line into Missis- | sippi to eseape the mob They reported The Best is the Cheapest. Not how cheap but how good is the question.
