He be- lleves the operations there will not result fn an open fight. It is hard to find armed Filipinos, but every man without occu- pation will be compelled to go into a town It is reported that all the rifies captured by the Filipinos at Balangiga are now in the island of Leyte, where many bolomen are known to have gone from the island of Samar. In fact, Leyte Is as disturbed as Bamar. The object of the reinforcement of Amer- | fean troops mow being pushed forward Is to increase all the garrisons to thirty- elght men.

WASHINGTON, Oct! 22.—The records in twenty court-martial cases wherein the charge was murder have been received at the War department from the headquarters of the division of the Philippines. In the majority of the ases sentences of death | by hanging were imposed and approved. All of them hore features of unusual barbarity and cruelty, in some so marked as to war- rant special mention. In one of the latter, five natives, members ot an armed band of outlaws, entered the home of a native named Ragudo, seized and bound his son, hanged bim with a rope and tled his father and motner by their elbows to a rafter. They then demanded money of the captives, and the forthcoming amount not being deemed sufficient they wrapped rags saturated with ofl about his feet and legs and eet his clothing afire. For two hours the torture was continued, blows from the butts of rifies, flats of balos and fists being rained on the helpless captive, while, to add to his suffering his young daughter was struck down by a blow from a bolo on ber bead. “It {8 QiMcult to bellove,” says General Chaffee In his review of this case, “that buman depravity and 'degeneracy can sink to such depths as shown in this flendish deed. . Ragudo lingered In agony from the eftects of his torture for five days and then died. All five 0f the natives were sentenced to death, Two American soldiers, Privates Charlea R. White and Thomas H. Mathias, both of Compauy H, Fourth infantry, had been captured by the insurgents. They finally passed under the charge of Esteban San Juan, & colonel of insurgents and the rank- ing ofcer in the vieinlty of Cavite. He had them bound to trees and strangled to death with cords. From the records ip one of the cases it will appenr that depravity in the Philip- pines 18 not confined to the Filipinos. Harry Cline, employed as & teamster by the United States army, while stationed at Parauaque, P. L, took a bicycle ride into the country one day and came upon four small native boys gathering grass. “‘With no other apparent motive than natural de- pravity,” says General Chaffee, “he pro- ceeded to shoot these boys with his re- volver, wounding three and killing the fourth." He was sentenced to be hanged. Perhaps the most Interesting case re- ported was that of Francisco Peralta, whe was 4 leader of an armed band of men living within the lines of the United States forces near tha provinca of Union. This band, while wearing in the daytime the ordinary* national dress and seemingly fol- lowing native occupations, spent the nighi in murdering those of thelr own race who were thought to be friendly to the Amer- fcans. General Chaffee, in approving the | sentenco of death imposed upon Peralta, made the point that Peralta was to e hanged, not because he was asspy, but bes cause he had caused wanton murder to be done. "Even though a whole people de- liberately adopts a method of waging war contrary to the recogniaed laws of war," he sald, “those laws, following the en- lightened and humane sentiments of the most clvilized nations, do not sanction that - ntence of extermination shall issue agalnst a whole people.” Frelght Wreck on Unton Pacifie.

The prestdent of the Reichsrath said he thought this statement would be sufficient to set at rest the interpollation of Herr Stern. LONDON, Oct. 23.—According to the Dally Express, at a family conference held at 45 Portland Square yesterday, which was at- tended by Eugene Zimmerman, It was ar- ranged that he should pay &£5,000 and Consuelo, duchess of Manchester, £2,000 to liquidate the duke of Manchester's debts. It was also announced that the present tenant of Kimbolton castle, the principal country seat of the duke of Manchester, has consented to terminate the tenancy, to gratify the wishes of the young duchess that her accouchement might occur ‘there.

The speaker closed by thanking the club for its friendship and assistance. Before he was permitted to resume his seat he was required to read the answer of the knights to Mr. Rheem. Touching lightly upon past political his- tory, the toastmaster then introduced Hon. J. Sterling Morton, who had selected as his subject *‘Cornfields.’” Morton Talks of Cornficlds, ornfields” proved to be a lively talk upon things of interest to Nebraskans. As the speaker was introduced he was greeted with an ovation. When quiet was re- stored he began his address, in which he said in part: “In a new country, blessed with soils of fertility, there is little necessity of looking after the cost of production, but the United States In time is to repeat the experience of Europe. Where the population Is dense there is much economy required. The modern packing house Is probably the most italicised example of economy. To- day the former waste products are made the profits of the packing house. The cornfleld, dressed in its July garb of dark green, ls fraught with possibilities of modern manufacture. From it we draw al- most all food products. The cereal mill makes corn flour and cornmeal. Much corn is consumed in beer and from corn hominy-flakes are made. From this corn we now get an edible oll. In the starch mills we find another product, then glucose and a fair substitute for Indla rubber. The national revenues are based more upon this product than any other. After the grain and blades have been removed the stalks remaln. Science has discovered that these stalks are worth as much as an equal weight in hay. Cellulose is made from the pith, which for use on war ves- sels is better than any other cellulose known, Corn pith is better than the best magnesla covering for refrigerators and other things where non-conductors of heat are requifed. Mr. Sherwood of Kearney, Neb., has succeeded in producing a paper far better in quality than any wood pulp paper. This Invention will revolutionlze the industry of paper-making in the United it not in the entire world. Any- thing that can add value to the corn flelds adds to the prosperity of the city. After closing his talk on cornfields Mr. Morton convulsed his audience with some characteristic stories, Rallroads and Au Major J. R.
