N i Spectal Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Oct. 22—Mafl advices from Manila via Hongkong give details of the court-martialing of the two negro Ameri- | can soldiers now under sentence of death, having been convicted by court-martial of assaulting native Filipino women near Manila, The names of the soldiers con- cerned are not given. A third negro soldier was on trial four weeks ago for the same offense, with prospects of his speedy conviction. General Otis had cabled to the War Department at Wash- ington asking for permission to execute the convieted soldiers at once. He hau not yet received reply, and in the mean- time the convicted men were being closely guarded. These two men attacked three Filipino women. Their first crime was peculiarly atroclous, the victim being a woman 60 yvears of age. The officers were at first very loath to believe her story, but at the trial a complete chain of evidence was established to prove the guilt of her as- saflants. Their other victims were two voung girls living in the suburbs of Mantla. As American goldiers are supposed to | strictly guard life, property and public morals, the nati of Manila have | been very free to allow their women to go among the soldier camps in the city’'s suburbs. In this instance two maldens had gone out toward the American camps when the two negros seized them. A great outcry followed the public an- nouncement of the crime, and no time or | energy was lost by army officials in bring- ing the gullty ones to trial. It is to give both the soldiers and the Filipinos an | object lesson in speedy American justice | | in affairs of this sort that General Otis desires to make an example of the co: victed men at the_earliést opportumty. Army officers at Manila feel that the | Tespact for Americans will be greatly diminished if such crimes are not visited with the severest penalties and without Six weeks ago news was recelved here that Private Dittenhoffer, whose home is | | at Vancouver, Wash., had been convicted of a similar crime and sentenced to death. As he s only 21 years old and enjoyed a | good reputation at home, Senator Foster | took his case up personaily with Presi- | dent McKinley, who had the War De- | partment cable’ General Otis to suspend sentence untll the papers in the case could be recelved and reviewed. | e OFFICER KILLED AND ; TWO MEN WOUNDED | MANILA, Oct. 2—8:50 a. m.—An Ameri- can officer was killed and two men wounded by the Filipinos in an attack on | a Jaunch with General Lawton's expedi- tion in the Rio Chiquita, near San Isidro. The rebels fired volleys from the shore. General Otis has replied to the three insurgent officers who entered Angeles last Friday with a request, made through General MacArthur, for permission for a Fillpino commission, headed by & Filipino | major general, to Vvisit General Otis in order to discuss peace terms and to ar- | range for the delivery of more American prisoners, that the desired interview can- not be granted, because the suggested propositions of the Filipinos are vague, | indefinite and unmlilitary, and because the Americans must continue to decline to re- | celve any representative of the so-called Filipino Givernment.

Brigadier General Frederick Funston, United States Volunteers, will be retaine as brigadier general of volunteers, to flll an original vacancy caused by an increase in the enlisted forces. These important military appointments have been decided upon. General Funston has already received notice of his in- tended reappointment and has accepted. He will recelve orders to-morrow direct- ing him to report to Major General Otis for assignment to a brigade command. | His_retention In the service has been | made possible by the Increa in the num- ber of enlisted men, the law allowing a brigadler general for each 4000 men. There are at present twenty-two brig- adier generals including General Funston, and as the present force comprises about | 96,000 men, the President still has the ap- pointment of two additional brigade com- manders. Generals Lawton and Bates will | receive notice of thelr promotion within a few days. The appointment of BrlFfldler Gen rai Bates to he major general, like that' of Funston’s, s made possible by the Increase in the enlisted force, one major general being allowed to each 12,000 men.

The order was obeyed quickly, and one | of the robbers started for the money | drawer. Kuchs and Brown, son of the| postmaster at Doniphan, made a move- | ment to resist. Two pistols in the hands | of the robbers cracked instantly. Brown | fell dead where he stood and Kuchs winced from a wound in_his arm.
