says:
Direct evidence connecting General
Weyler of Cuban fame, with the whole.
sale looting of the Philippine treasury.
has been unearthed in Bilibid prison.
Maximiapo Rosales aud Julian Reis:
sent to prison as s~capegoats for official
thieves, have been liberated by order of
Major General Otis, but deliverance
came too late for a third prisoner con-
victed Of the same crime. for he died in
Bilibid eight days before the American
army entered the city.
When Captain Mef1eet, superintendent
of prisons, began his investigation of the
cases Of the prisoners confined in Bill
bid, Rosales and Refs declared that they
We're u~njustly suffering for the crimes
Of others. and begged that their cases he
reopened. They averred that Weyler
and his associates had looted the treas
ury of 81, 800, 900 in Mexican silver, and
that they had been accused of the crime
and sent to Jail. Moffet made a report
of the matter to Gen. Macarthur and an
examination of the books at the treasury
was ordered. The latter showed dur
ing the Weyler regime several immense
sums of money had been withdrawn and
there was an unsatisfactory showing as
to the disposition Of it. Rosales was one
of the cashiers at the treasury and goes
so far as to declare that Weyler himself
came to the treasury to aid in the crime
as he alleges. 1t has been decided to
make a full investigation of the case.
Insurgents Collect Tribute.
A special from Manila of Sept. 20 says
| the insurgents are still collecting trib-
ute from residents of Manila. and it
seems almost impossible to check them.
Almost at the doors of the headquarters
of the First Colorado, a rebel recruiting
station and cour We're discovered. Four
young natives drafted into the rebel
army refused to go and they were placed
under arrest and an effort made to take
them by force. The entire staff at the
rebel headquarters was arrested for alb
duction. ard it was then learned that
some preposterous fines had been levied
on two Chinese by the court. The rebel
| officers are on trial before Colonel
Charles Jewett in the provost court and
will be severely dealt with.

AN INDIAN SUICIDE.
Mrs. "a. n. BurrIs. In a Fit Of Tempo
rary Insanity. Sends a Bullet
Through Her Brain

Information is at hand from
Tishomingo. conveying All ac-
count of the death by her own
hand of Mrs. Hynman 81. Bur-
ris, the wife of the national
treasurer of the Chickasaw ma
ton.
The tragedy occurred at the
Burris residence, which is only
short distance east of Tisho-
mingo.
On Friday evening, after
closing up his business house in
town, Mr.. Burris went home
and sat down to supper. His
wife was lying on a bed in an
other room. Mrs. Burris called
to her husband to come to her.
He replied I'm a minute. Inn
mediately a pistol shot rang
out. Rushing to the room, a
horrible sight met the hus-
bands gaze. His wife was lying
on her bed. the smoking pistol
yet in her grasp. A bullet from
the pistol had entered her head,
between the eye and nose, and
literally tore the entire top of
the head off. Judge Bur1is, the
father of H. H.. was also pres
ent and soon the entire COM
munity was aroused.
The supposition is that. in a
fit of temporary insanity, Mrs.
Burris committed the rash act,
there being no known cause
among the family relations to
provoke such a fatal ending.
The unfortunate affair has
cast pail of gloom over the
entire community. Every busl
ness house in Tishomingo was
closed Saturday out of respect
to the family, who rank among
the most prominent in the land.
Interment of deceased was to
take place at Tishomingo this
morning.
Mrs. Burris was a full blood
Indian, her husband. as already
stated. does a large lucrative
general merchandise business
in Tishomingo, and also oc'
cupies the honorable position
of national treasurer of the
| ChickaSaw nation.
