Officers Chase, But the Fugitive
Leaped a Fence and Vanished.

Especial to The Herald
Ogden, May 31.-Charles Bishop, who
escaped from the state prison in Salt
Lake Monday night was discovered in
Ogden tonight, but made desperate
dash for liberty and succeeded in elud-
ing the officers.
Phineas II. Young. one of the prison
guards, came up to Ogden this evening
in search of Bishop and began circu-
lating around. talking with the officers
who had two men under surveillance
on suspicion that one of them was the
man wanted. Young was standing near
the alleyway by Babcock's drug store
on Twenty-fourth street, talking with
Officers Brown and Cooney, giving them
a description of the escaped convict
Just as he was in the middle of his
talk Bishop walked out of the alley,
passed the officers and started across
Twenty-fourth street Young remarked:
There's my man now," and started to
follow him. The convict broke into q
run, and the three officers gave chase.
Officer Cooney outStripped the others
and followed the fellow into the allev
at the rear of z. c. NJ. l., and called on
him to stop. The ESCAPED convict re-
fused, and Cooney fired two Shots but
this only served TO quicken his speed.
At one time CoOney was within fifteen
yards of his man, but the fellow leaped
the board fence and got out of sight.
The search continued for several
hours, but as it was quite dark, Bishop
gave the officers the slip. Guard Young
telegraphed in all directions last night
to have all avenues of escape guarded,
and meanwhile the search is going on
in the city. Mr.. Young told The Her.
aid there is absolutely no doubt about
the mans identity. He had on the
same clothing stolen from the prison
shop. and seemed to recognize Young
as soon as he came in sight of him. Mr.
Young said further that he would have
fired at the fugitive but for the fact
that an officer was between him and
the fleeing convict. and he feared injur-
ing his brother officer.

HOW THEY WE'RE CAPTURED.
Officers of the Relief Fall Into Hands
of Filipinos.

Manila, May 31-Details regarding
the capture by F'ilipinos of two officers
of the United States hospital ship Re
lief has just been obtained.
The Relief lies in the harbor in front
of this city. Third Officer Fred Heppy
and Assistant Engineer Charles Blan-
ford rugged sail on one of the ship's
boats and went sailing along the shore
on the south, opposite the insurgent
lines. The boat became becaimed near
the shore and some native canoes with
F1lplnoS on board put out and cap
tured the two men, who were unarmed
and also took possession of the boat
The United States turretship Monad-
mock quickly sent a boat with a land
ing party ashore, under cover of her
guns, and shelled the shore brisbly. The
natives, however, rushed the prisoners
into the woods before the Monadnock's
boat reached land. Persons on board
several other ships saw the affair
through glasses, but We're unable to
prevent the capture of Heppy and
Blanford
Friendly natives arriving from the
country around San Isidro and San
Miguel report that reign of terror has
prevailed since the American troops
were Withdrawn from those parts of
the islands The insurgents who are
returning are dealing vengeance upon
those of their cOuntrymen who have
shown any friendship towards the
Americans during the latters' occupa
ton of the territory. The friendlies de-
clare that unoffending people are being
murdered daily, and that their houses
are being burned and their property
confiscated- Plenty of sympathizers
with the insurrection remained during
the Americans stay, and they have
been reporting these instances of
friendliness towards our troops.
The refugees add that the inhabft
ants were badly oppressed by the ma
tive soldiers before the American occu-
patton, but that their condition is worse
now. Doubtless there is much truth in
the reports, though stories from Fill
pino sources are always magnified.

Rough Riders Extra Pay

Colonel Jay l.. Torrey, late command
ing the Second volunteer cavalry. is
here, and is diligently looking after the
extra pay for the men of his regiment.
He has had blanks prepared for the
claims and will take charge of the col
lection and forwarding of the extra pay
as far as possible, as he wishes his men
to escape paying tribute to claim
agents. The colonel has succeeded in
getting the matter of payment far ad-
vanced. and the boys should be able to
get their money at an early date.
Colonel Torrey is also investigating
the matter of one months pay and all
lowance for those of his men who suf-
fered in hospitals.
The war department is now consider
ing the case of a western volunteer who
was in the hospital when the order
came for the mastering out of his regi-
ment. The pay roll for his previous
two months pay was sent to him for
his signature, but after he had signed
it the paymaster refused to pay him,
on the ground that he didn't have his
descriptive list" which had been lost
in the course of his transfer to the hos
pital.

Victim of Red Tape.

The soldier finally recovered suffi-
ciently to enable him to be mustered
out with his regiment, but as the rec
ord showed that he had signed the pay
roll, his pay for two months was still
withheld. After considerable delay the
auditor finally rendered a decision in
the soldiers favor and forwarded the
receipts for his signature.
Before the money could be paid how
ever, the question was raised by the
treasury officials as to whether he
would not still have a claim against
the government for two months addi-
tional pay on the ground that he spent
the time of his furlough technically in
the service having been in the hos
pital throughout the period.
The courts have therefore held that
all the time spent by the volunteer SOL
dier in the hospital may properly be in
cluded in the term of his active serv-
ice. 1t seems vary probable that this
case will be decided in the soldiers ia
vor. in which event a large number of
similar cases viii be opened up and
gratuitieS paid on the basis of two
months pay and allowance for every
soldier who saw foreign service. and
one months pay and allowance for
those who did not serve beyond the
limits of the United. States.

Full of Praise For Bravery of the
American Soldiers.
WHIPPED THE FILIPINOS
GALLANT DOCTOR WHO WOULD
NOT STAY IN REAR.
Forced His Way to the Front and
Gave Surgical Attention to Woun-
ded Insurgents-How Pasig River
Was Crossed and the Rebels Put
to Flight.

Washington, May 31.-Major ]. f.
Bell of the engineers, who was for some
time in charge of the office of military
information under Otis command, has
filed a report which the war DEPART
ment has Just made public in connec-
tion with the original report of Major
General Macarthur.
Major Bells report is dated March 1,
at Manila. He was directed to cross
the Pasig river to its north bank oppo-
site the American headquarters at San
Pedro Macati, to scour the north bank
as far south as the mouth of the San
Mateo river. and to find and drive out
certain insurgent troops and sharp
shooters. He was afterward TO fall on
the right flank of another body of in
surgents which had taken up a posi-
ton on the south bank of the Pasig.
about half way between Guadalcupe
and San Pedro Macati. For this pur-
pose he took companies NJ and X of the
Washington volunteers, consisting of
121 men and five officers.

WOUNDED IN BATTLE.

necessary for the best protection of
American interests in the Philippines.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-06-01
Surprised the Insurgents.

The first movement was made with
out a hitch, owing to the careful OBJ
servation made in person by Major
Bell of the ground over which the
American troops had to advance, and
the insurgents were taken by surprise
and driven off with loss of two dead
and three wounded. The ground was
difficult to traverse, being badly cut up
and densely wooded. The insurgent
wounded were shipped to the Manila
hospital.
The second movement was equally
successful, and as Major Bell had care
fully located the insurgent force the
preceding day, he was enabled to place
his own men at the most effective po-
sitions. The insurgents stood their
ground for twenty minutes, and the
report states that they returned the
fire of the Americans with as hot a
fire as the latter had experienced. The
insurgents were finally driven off, how
ever, leaving nine dead and three badly
wounded men on the field.
Major Bell pays a high compliment
to the brigade surgeon, Major q. f.
Shields. He SAYS that instead of fol-
lowing in the rear, the position assigned
to doctors in a fight, the surgeon ac-
companied him (BelD in the front, and
remained there during the afternoon,
giving aid 10 the wounded insurgents.
When the wounded were sent back, he
secured a gun and used il to good pur-
pose in the subsequent fighting. Says
Major Bell:
He conducted himself in a courage
Gus and soldierly manner throughout
both engagements
