Triple Murder Near checotah.
Sunday seems to bs the sane -
anyo ther dav In the vicinity OF Che
cotah. judging by the following in
the Muskogee Times Monday even
ing:
From Col. Sharp at Checotah this
morning the Times representative
learned of a horrible hatchery ut or
near Bennefield, fifteen miles south
west of Checotah yesterday afternoon
in which two white men and one me-
gro were killed by negroes and an
other colored man wounded in the
hand.
"The Bennefield town or commu-
nifty is one of the toughest In the
territory. Whisky, pistols and cards
are the three worst evils down there.
Yesterday Dave Nicholson, Enoch
Wimberley and some negroes were
gambling. A fight ensued, so the
story runs, in which q negro attack
ed a brother of Enoch Wimberly. The
negro was Furnishing Wimberly Sc
verely when Nicholson and Enoch
Wimberly attempted to separate the
comb atants. The balance of the me-
groes res ented this interference and
shot and killed Nicholson, Enoch
Wimberly and the negro who was in
the fight. The white men were un-
armed and were completely at the
mercy of the negroes.
The report was brought to Checo-
tab last mig ut, but as Deputy Jones
was in this city possemen refused to
go out unless ordered from the mar
shal's Office here"

Letter from the PhiIIppine.

Editor National Tribune: | wish to ac.
knowledge the receipt of your paper and tc
say that | enjoy it very much. l do moi
suppose that we will ever have as much
| to tell about as the old soldiers of the civi
war. We are fighting a people of differ,
ent kind, while in the civil war it was as
| brother against brother, and was one o
| the hardestfought wars in the world, and
l do not think will ever be equaled again.
Our hardest fights here would not have
been considered as skirmish there; il
is more like slaughter than anything else.
Think of from 5000 to 1000 being killed
as against less than 200 OF our troops
killed. But they make it impossible for
us to do anything else, for they fire on our
men at every chance they get.
Our regiment has not been engaged in
anything more than small skirmish
with the natives, and at present our
battalion is doing outpost duty at San
Rogue, five miles from Cavite, and 13
from Manila, where the hardest fighting is
going on. There is not a day passes but
what our advance sentinels are fired upon,
and still we are held down by orders to
not do anything that will bring on an
engagement with tho natives, and are not
allowed to return the fire only once in a
while. 1t is good thing that these
fellows are poor marksmen, or they could
at 200 yards pick Of our outposts very
easily. Well, such is war, and q good
soldier will not complain Of anything that
his superior officers may see fit to tell him
to do.
l will close now. hoping that your papers
give others as much pleasure in reading
them as they do NEIL. G. Karns,
Second Lieutenant, Co. K, 51st Iowa, San
Hoque. Philippine Islands.

| the garrison at Baler knew that the wal
between the United States and Spain had
ended. He had sent an officer in Janu
| ary to tell the garrison to surrender. Inc
garrison refused to surrender, either no,
| believing the officer or fearing they would
be trapped by the insurgents. Since then
Gen. Iiios has had no communication
with the garrison, and this is the first
information ne has had that the Spanish
flag is still flying at Baler. He thought
the Americans were shot at by the in
surgents, as the Spaniards themselves
are besieged and have no way OF getting to
the river. Gen. Rios said he had not been
consulted.
The officials here are confident that
such of the men as escaped being killed
outright in the first ambuScade will be
well treated by the insurgents, and they
dismiss as untenable all of the fears
limited that torture may be administered
TO them. One reason for this conviction
on their part is the tact that the two sol
diers who wandered out OF Gen. OTIS,
lines before the actual outbreak OF hostiil-
ties between the United States forces and
the insurgents have not suffered SO far as
is known.
Some time ago the War Department
made inquiry as to the number OF AmeIl-
can prisoners held by the Filipinos. In
reply Gen. Otis referred TO these soldiers,
and said that they were being fairly
funds TO defray the cost of their food.
The Adiutant-General on Sunday re-
cciyed a dispatch from Gen. Otis stating
that a Reconnaissance on Quingua place,
six miles northeast OF MalOlos, made by
Mai Bell and a troop Of cavalry this morn
ing resulted in contact and battle, IN
which four battalions OF infantry and four
pieces Of artillery became engaged; enemy
driven from strong intrenchments at
Quingua, with considerable loss. Our
casualties quite severe. Col. Stotsenburs
and Lieut.. Sessions, 1st Neb., killed; /;
also several enlisted; considerable num-
Der OF wounded, not yet reported" In the
1st Neb. there were two officers and two
enlisted men killed; ith Cav, two enlisted
men killed: Utah Light Artillery, one
officer killed, and in these three oTganiZa-
tons and the 5lst Iowa there were three
officers and 38 men wounded, the 1st Neb.
having IS of these wounded.
The country examined by the cavalry
was rough and covered with dense
growth Of brush, which afforded an ideal
hiding place for the Filipinos. The Ameri-
cans were on their guard against an
ambuscade, all the time keeping close
watch for the enemy, who, there was
reason TO believe, were hiding somewhere
in the Jungle near Quingua. AS the troop
approached this last-namcd town a strong
force of rebels attacked them.
The Americans were not surprised by
the attack. They dismounted, and, de-
ploying as infantry, poured a telling fire
into the brush, where it was known the
greater part Of the attacking force was
concealed.

NEWS Of THE WEEK,

TIRE INSURRECTf0N IN THE PHILIPPINES
More events of Importance have taken
place in the Philippines during the past
week, or rather. news from there has been
OF a rather startling character. On April
Is it was cahlcd that on April II the York
town visited Baler, IuZon, east coast OF
Luzon, Philippine Islands, for the purpose
of rescuing and bringing away Spanish
forces consisting of so soldiers, three off
GERS and two priests surrounded by 40
insurgents. Lieut.. J. c. Gilmore and IA
others, while making an examination OF
the mouth OF the river in an armed boat,
were ambushed. fred upon and captured.
This was referred TO in our last issue.
Nothing has been heard OF 1.-the men since.
Admiral Dewey in an interview said The
expedition of the gunboat Yorktown 10
Ba!er was purel; TO rescue the Spanish
soldiers and priests. Admiral Dewey did
not know what had become of Lieut.. Gil
more and the ii men in the launch. They
had been sent to sound the mouth OF the
river, but went beyond the bend, out "I
sight of the Yorktown. The supposition
is they were captured or killed by the
Spaniards or the 400 insurgents who are
besieging the Spanish garrison. Admiral
Dewey declined to say what steps he
would take toward punitive expedition.
Gen. Rios, the Spanish commander,
when interviewed said he did not think

Mexico from 1887 10 1890, at the close of the
latter year participating in the Sioux cam
paign. He took part in the battle OF
Wounded Knee, S. d. He was at Fort Mo-
brara from 1891 to 1894. lie graduated
from the Infantry and Cavalry School at
Fort Lcavenworth, Kan, in 1887. Later he
was assigned 10 duty as Professor of Military
Science and Tactics at the University of Ne
braska. y
At the beginning of the Spanish American
war he offered his services to Gov. Holcomb
in raising troops and was given a commission
as Major in the! 1st Neb. There was some
local feeling against Stotsenburg at first as
some believed the position should have gone
to Nebraska man. When, in December,
1893, he was appointed Colonel of the rcgi-
ment, to succeed Col. Bratt, he provoked
further ill feeling by the severity of the dis
cipline he enforced in his regiment. Many
letters from Manila voiced the soldiers COM
plants, and the feeling finally found vent in
the adoption of resolutions of censure by the
Legislature upon him, but the results of his
tircless efforts showed forth SO brilliantly in
the battles around Manila that tho I.egisla-
ture was forced by popular demand to ex-
punge the resolutions. His bravery in lead
ing his men, regardless of personal danger,
had made him the idol of his regiment.

Her Mother Writes.

GardneryIlle, New, Feb. 81, 1899.
DR.. Peter Fahrney, Chicago, Iil.-Dear
Sir: Two years ago gave your Blood Vital
| izer trial, and the results far exceeded my
highest expectations. l had daughter IL
years old, who was ailing from top to toe
What was the matter with her no doctor nor
mortal man seemed able to know. We have
been in America six years, and both here
| and in Germany we consulted eminent
physicians, but all in vain. She seemed to
have a severe constitutional disease. She
also got sore eyes. We consulted renowned
oculist, who treated her for over year, but
her eyes failed to get any better. During
| that time we purchased seven pairs Of spec
| tacles for her. AS soon as she got out Of bed
in the morning she was obliged to put on
her glasses in order to see anything. Many
time have prayed to our dear Lord to take
her, as could not bear to see her sufferings.
In the midst of my distress, received a
her father: "We have tried everything else,
let us make trial OF this remedy, too"
We wrote to you in regard to the Blood
Vitalizer, and you referred us to your local
agent, of whom we received the medicine.
We used nine bottles, but what miracle it
produced! She is now as lively as q cricket;
attends school, does not have to wear glasses,
and has grown over inches during the last
year. Everyone who saw her a few years
ago and sees her now is surprised at the re-
markable change. All this is due to your
Blood Vitalizer. l recommend your medi-
cine to everybody whenever have an Op-
portunity. If you desire you may publish
this, so that others may learn of the miracu
lous effect of your medicine.
We would like to become agents for your
medicine, so that we might do some good in
this neighborhood.
Very respectfully, Mrs. Matilda syll.
P. S.-My daughter is going to write to
you herself.

many by its peculiar efficacy in the treat
