That is the right idea in q book OF reference

Commissioner Worcesters answer fol-
lows:
Manila, June %, lS9a.-Editor the
Times-Horald. Chicago. ILL., The origi-
nal statement OF Bremen is untrue Bren-
ncr's charge was promptly investigated
by the military authorities here. No facts
were ascertained to support the charge
at the time of the first inquiry. but the
investigation has been renewed, and is
being prosecuted vigorously and exhaust
lively. This investigation has not yet
been completed.
SOME SEMBLAN-E OF TRUTH.
"BrenucrS charge has some semblance
OF truth. for the reason that il is now
believed that two prisoners were shot IN
the heat of battle for refusing 10 pass 10
the rear when ordered TO do so.
This matter is being probed to the
bottom. IT IS an isolated case.
"The inhabitants Of the towns recently
captured had been maltreated, robbed.
and left destitute by the insurgents.
The natives rejoice at the arrival Of
the American troops. who neither burn
their homes nor loot their property, and
who feed the hungry.
"The inhabitants are resuming their or
binary occupations and are ready to CO.
operate with us.
"The wounded insurgents are brought
to Manila. where they receive the same
care and attention as our own wounded.

scene It was the action Of the sister OF

ing down before him in supplication
Don't send her TO States prison; no.

his wife and child left the room, while a
look Of despair settled on the aged face
OF the suppnant.
John Collins, co-defendant with Mrs.
Ingersoll. was on the stand during the
day. He said he knew nothing OF the
