Said TO Be Encouraging Guerilla
System of Warfare.
USE THE FLAG OF TRUCE
HOW AMERICANS ARE LEAD TO
THEIR DEATHS.
War Department Determined to Put
Down This Sort of outlawry, and
Natives Engaging In It Will Be
Summarily Dealt With When Cap
tured-Filipinos Killed In Fight.

New York, Dec. ia special to the
Times from Washington says: At the
war department II is learned that an
order has been sent to Manila directing
the military officers there to adopt a
course that will render unsafe to the
F'ilipinos the continuation of cruel acts
upon friendly natives who have disre-
garded the Instructions of the insurgent
leaders. Many have been killed or
manned by the insurgents for their re-
fusal to give further aid to the rebel
lion.
The assumption at the department is
that Aguinafdo, since the dispersal of
his army and the apparent futility Of
attempting to reorganiZe ii for military
purposes has determined to lead war
OF brigandage. 1t is believed that the
rebellion is practically wiped out; that
there are only small bodies of Filipino
insurgents left with arms in their pos
session; that they are far from points
occupied by United States troops, and
that they will follow the lives of out
laws until caught red-handed in at
teinpts to kill careless troopers who
may fancy they are in secure neighbor-
hoods
Late reports from the FnlupplneS III
form the department that the followers
of Aguinaldo who have been commit
ting barbarous acts were evidently
obeying instructions in disregarding
flags of truce, using flags to mislead
and expose American troops and gen.
orally conducting themselves in a way
to forfeit the continuance of operations
against them, as II they were controlled
by the rules of civilized warfare.
In order to protect and encourage
non combatant natives who are report
ed to be in constant danger. our Of
ficers are to be expected to adopt Sc
we're measures to discourage asEassina-
ton and brigandage.

Seriously Wounds Another Son,
Then Commits Suicide.

Tacoma. Wash, Dec. 15--Adam
Crfst deliberately shot his wife, fatal
ly. killed his S-year-old son, seriously
wounded a seeond son aged 8 years and
then ended the tragedy by putting a
bullet through his own brain. Jeal-
ousy is the only motive assigned for
the crime.
Crist is the proprietor of the Chi
cago lodging house and returned TINS
morning from six months business
trip to Spokane. He was at the hotel
during the morning and apparently in
the best Of health and spirits.
About . O'Clock in the afternoon he
went to Pacific avenue pawn broker
and purchased two revolvers. He
stopped a few doors away at drug
store and bought % cents worth of Wit
riol. He must have proceeded directly
home for the shooting occurred only d
few moments later.
Crist was in the kitchen of the hotel
on the second floor when his wife was
called to the head of the stairs to talk
to a peddler After the interval of a
few moments he sent the younger child
to ask her to come to the kitchen. I'm
mediately after four shots were fired.
all of which were found TO have taken
effect in her body. He then turned
the revolver on the little boy and
wounded him in the leg, Dut the child
managed to crawl down the stairs and
escaped.
The woman staggered 10 the side
walk and Crist went into the hall where
he caught the S-year-old boy. There
are no witnesses to this part of the
tragedy but from the position of the
bodies he must have held the lad close
to him while he put bullet through
his heart.
a Il calibre bullet through his own
head followed and both bodies fell to
the floor atill clsgped in each others

NEWSPAPERS TIED UP.
Printers at Pittsburg, Pa, Go Out
On a Strike.

Pitts5urg Dec I5.-The members of
Pittsburg Typographical Union No. Z
have walked out of the offices of the
Pittsburg daily newspapers and struck
work. although the scale or contract be-
tween the printers and publishers does
not expire until Dec. a. They have not
struck for higher wages. The demand is
that the machinists employed to care for
the Linotype machines. and who are
members of Duquesne Lodge No - of the
international Association OF Machinists.
be forced 10 become members of the typo
graphical union.
To accede to this demand would be to
violate a contract between the publishers
and the machinists. The contest of the
typographical union therefore. resolves
itself into an attempt 10 disrupt a union
OF fellow workmen. 1t IS not primarily
a dispute between newspaper publishers
and printers. but an attempt OF the print
ers 10 use the publishers as CLUB 10
drive the machinists into the typograph-
ical union.
The Pittsburg printers We're not allowed
to vote on the proposition at all. but were
ordered out by some outside authority
The strike has not the sympathy of other
labor organizations. for whether others
take the side of the printers or the side
of the machinists. II is contest OF one
labor organization against another.
In this effort to compel the machinists'
and the publishers to break their con-
tract. the printers have broken their own
contract with the publishers. and by this
act they have arrayed against them the
machinists' union and have not the SYM
pathy of the allied printing trades.

Cambridge, Mass. Dec 15.-once again
Harvard added to her unbroken debating
record with Princeton university by de-
scating that university in Sanders thea
tire tonight. Her debaters had what was
generally considered the harder side Of
the question. and accordingly Harvard is
wild with delight over the signal triumph
of her team. The decision was based
upon the merits OF the speaking and on
the forces of the arguments leaving out
entirely the merits of the question.
The question was. Resolved, that Eng
lands claims in the present controversy
with the South African Republic are JUS
tifiabie, Harvard in the Affirmative
Princeton IN the negative.
Each speaker was allowed twelve min

The company was incorporated in 1885

The creditors are banks for the most

among banks in New England states in
which the Squire company has branch
stores The estate of the late John r.
Squire is not involved in any way in the
assignment In an interview tonight Mr..
Chaplin said:
The assignment was the direct result
of the tightness in the money market
Practically all the Indebtedness is to
banks These banks found II necessary
to call their loans. The Squire company
could not raise the money to meet them
all at such short notice. and it was
deemed best TO make an assignment.
There is a clean s.. 100000 margin or assets

ECLIPSE OF MOON TONIGHT.
Astronomers Say That Tt Will Be
Almost Total.

>-Ae~ York, Dec 15.-An eclipse of the
moon Saturday evening is promised for
those parts of North America and Eu-
rope where the weather is favorable
for observation.
The first encroachment of the earth's
shadow on the lunar disk should occur
at Gas o'clock, seventy-fifth meridian
time. But it will be probably ten or
fifteen minutes later before the outline
of the moon is perceptibly affected
The shadow will creep further and fur
Their onto the moon. until at 1926 o'clock
the greatest degree of obscuration will
be reached.
The astronomers speak of this eclipse
as partial" because only 1851 900 Of
the surface will be hid, according 10
their calculations. But inasmuch as
that remaining 4-1,060 is an exceedingly
small fraction, il may be assumed that
no one without a powerful glass could
see the very thin line left uncovered.
To all appearances the eclipse will be
a total one for q few minutes lust
before and just after S:26 o'clock, sew
enty-fifth meridian time. The shadow
Will then slowly pass off, and at 1906
O'Clock the moon will again be alto
gether clear

SPIES ARE AT WORK.
Furnish Filipinos With News of
American Movements.

Boston, Dec. ia. letter received
from one of the officers. of the United
States ship Monterey at Manila, dated
Nov. 3, says:
The Princeton today was ordered to
coal to go to some unknown destinaA
ton. Great secrecy is maintained now
ad2ys. Even misleading statements are
published in the papers. They do not
fool the willy natives, however. who get
information from the main source of
orders.
1T is said. with reason for absolute
belief, that spies have been caught with
copies of orders which had not yet
reached the person to whom they were
addressed, and that the detachments of
soldiers ordered by telegraph to move
have been ambushed in places where
the insurgents could only have reached
by being informed of the intended
movements. Secrecy at present is more
Of a pretense than a reality"

TO SUPPRESS GUFRILLAs.
Captured Insurgent Bandits Will Be
Summarily Dealt With.

Washington. Dee. 15.-Isolated bands
of bushwhacking insurgents who are
caught by our forces in khe Philippines
are likely to be summarily dealt with.
At the cabinet meeting today the mat
ter was discussed at some length. and
it was the general sentiment that the
situation demanded vigorous treatment.
AS long as the insurgents keep up
show of an army under a semblance of
discipline, they will be treated as pris-
oners of war when captured. but when
they degenerate into isolated bands of
marauders. harassing our forces by
cold-blooded assassinations, it is the
judgment of the officers in command in
the Philippines. and of the president.
and of the members of the cabinet, that
the situation demands summary action.
