Atrocities Committed by spaniards and
Rebels la the PHILIPPINE Islands.

Rebels la the Philippine Islands.
London. Nov. 3.--The Daily News pub
fishes a letter from an English mer-
chant in the Philippine islands that
was dispatched 10 London on September
30. The writer alleges that horrible
atrocities have been perpetrated by
both the rebels and the Spaniards. but
more especially by the latter, who tor
ture their prisoners. particularly when
they are prominent men, with a view
TO forcing them 10 confess completely
in the rebellion. He declares that In
some cases prisoners hands have been
nailed TO walls. while In others thumb
screws have been used. A hundred
prisoners were thrown in one night
into a dungeon in the fortress at Manila.
where there was hardly room for 80.
The place was worse than the black
hole of Calcutta. The poor wretches
were up 10 their knees in filthy, putrd
mud. Fifty-ninc Of them died dur
ing the night. a reign of terror ex-
lists i'm Manila and elsewhere in the
islands. Wholesale arrests are made
daily of innocent and guilty persons.
The writer adds that the rebellion is
due solely TO the rotten and corrupt
administration of the Spaniards, which
the natives were unable 20 endure any
longer. The outlook is of the blacklist
description and business is at n com
plete standstill. The writer was com
PEELED 10 leave his estate, the govern
ment refusing TO guarantee his safety
there. Prisoners are executed by the
wholesale. In treating OF this subject
the writer describes the shooting OF
four men on the public promenade.
The troops held their rifles so close
10 the heads OF the condemned men
that when the weapons were discharged
their heads were blown to atoms.
Crowds of Spanish women went to see
these four men executed

Victims Of Ice Cream.

Quite q sensation was caused Mon
day when it was announced shat sew
eral of our citizens had been poisoned
from eating ice cream Sunday eve
ming. A few were taken sick Monday
morning and it was not then known
just what the cause was until later
on in the day when others were taken
seriously sick with the same
symptoms. Medical aid was summoned
for all and some cases were soon re-
lieved again but others were in
terrible agony during the night. The
victims as far as we can learn were
Mrs. Katie Mccormick, Vim. Burke,
wife and three other membets of the
family, James Devereaux, jr., Mrs.
Andrews and two children, w. s.
Burke. Chas. Brandmilll and wife,
VIM. Brandau, Lizzie Brandau, p. j.
Sullivan, Fred Miller, wife and child,
Mrs. Coogan, John Piersch and wife,
Charlie Smith, Mat Snavely and
others whose names we have not
learned. There are about twenty
four victims.
| The cream was purchased at Mrs.
McCormlck's and the supposed cause
of the poisoning is that She had pre-
pared the cream and let it stand in

Death Of Berthe Kellow.

BERTHE Kellow has been growing
worse for several days and as last
resort an operation was decided upon,
which was performed yesterday fore
noon by DR.. VIM. D. Middleton, of
Davenport, professor of surgery at
Iowa City, assisted by DR.. Hill, of
Davenport, Drs. Kessell and Barrett
also being present. The operation
was successful but the shock was too
great and in the course of couple of
hours he rapidly sank and passed away
about one o'clock.
BERTHE, though but boy, had won
the esteem of all and it is to be regret
ted that what pointed to a useful life
has thus been cut short by the hand
of Death. The sympathies OF all are
extended to the bereaved parents in
their sad affection.
