LIEUTENANT GILMORE.
He and the Other Yorktown Pris-
oners Faring Badly.

BOSTON, Sept 22--A naval officer

to see and interview a Spaniard who
claims to have seen Lieutenant Gill
more and his men. The Spaniard ar
rived in Manila on the 18th, coming
through the outposts at San Fernando
de la Pampanga. His name is Felipe
Gala, and he is planter. On the first
of February last he was on his planta-
ton, when he was surrounded by a
deputation of natives, who made him
prisoner. He was forced to follow
the movements made by the so called
Filipino republic, and tramp through
mud and water and over mountains in
their wanderings Two weeks before
the arrival at Manila he saw at Bigan
Lieutenant Gilmore and his fourteen
fellow prisoners.
From his report it is judged that
they have Jared badly at the hands of
their captors, and although their cour-
age was undaunted, they were in bad
shape physically, in reality being half
starved. u
Gilmore himself said he was in bet
ter health than some of the others, be-
ing a man of strong physique and
strong determination. The whole party
was entirely destitute of clothes. and
all the necessities of life The failure
of the United States to ransom them,
as expected, had so enraged the insur-
gents that their treatment, which for
some time had been kind had since
become the reverse. The members of

aged, and fully expected to return to
