An Editors Congratulations ON the
Victory at CaIumpft.

LONDON, April 27.-The Daily Mail, In
reference to the American victory in the
Philippines says: THE Americans are to be
congratulated warmly upon the victory
which they have won at Calumpit- Now. at
last, IL looks as though the back of the
Filipino resistance had been broken, and
Englishmen will be particularly glad of this
fact, as they alone appreciate to the full
the difficulties with which their cousins
have had to contend. The victory is all the
more welcome and all the more grateful to
us because we have been watching with
deep interest the efforts of a political party
An The United States to humiliate the Ma
ton ano the government by ~persuading
them to a disgraceful and cowardly retreat.
This party Is insignificant in strength and
influence. but what Ii lacks In this direction
Il make up for by its lung power. 1t has
gone to the length of endeavoring to induce
American volunteers TO demand their recall
in the face of the enemy. To the eternal
credit Of these volunteers, be 1t said, that
few have acted upon this treacherouS and
unpatriotic instigation. The American peo-
pie may well be proud of their soldiers. BY
the very nature of things volunteers enlisted
for q short war with a civilized country
are not troops best fitted for work at a
great distance from their country or for a
tedious. protracted and harassing struggle
mate. But the valor and determination of
volunteers and regulars have been such
that they have not once been worsted in
battle. II Aguinaldo has a head on his
shoulders he will see that the time has
come for him to submit to the inevitable"

the call for volunteers. The meeting was a

CRIME.
Man Buys q Woman and Is Killed on
Account of Her.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
DANVILLE. H.. April 27.-On account Of
Mrs. Daisy Shepherd, Joseph Albright was
killed by Jesse Sutherland at Grape creek
at 2 o'clock this morning. Sutherland and
the woman were returning home from a
dance in a one-horse buggy when Albright
stopped them and after trying TO pull the
woman out of the buggy knocked Sutherland
out on the ground and brutally kicked him.
While in the act OF again hitting him with a
stone, Sutherland. with a large pocketknfe,
cut A~lbright's throat. Sutherland aroused
the neighborhood and told them what had
occurred. He surrendered to Deputy Sheriff
Clark and is now in jail. 1t is said that
Albright, who has a wife and two small chill
dren at Geneva, near Clinton. Ind, pur-
chased Mrs. Shepperd Of her husband at that
place for SO and a new hat. He afterwards
regretted his bargain and shot both of them.
The ~neighbors did not admire these transac-
tons and about New Years, 1899, Albright
and Mrs. Shepperd came TO Grape. creek.
Mrs. Shepperd soon tired OF Albright, who
was furiously jealous. The dance was the
first time she was in Sutherland's company.
Albright and Sutherland previous TO last
night had been lifelong friends. The coron-
er's jury returned a verdict this evening
saving that the killing was justitiable homi-
eide.

Portuondo Scores Gomez.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April N.-The
Cuban general, Rafael Portuondo, who was
chairman Of the executive committee of the
former Military Assembly, and who has been
appointed public prosecutor for the Supreme
Court of the province of Santiago, is very
bitter In his feeling against General Gomez.
In the course of an interview to-day he char
acteriZed Gomez las always insubordinate
and ambitious to become a Dictator" Portu-
ondo expresses himself confident that the
United States government will fulfill its
pledge TO give Cuba a government of her
own. He says the reason why the Cuban
muster rolls were withheld so long from
General Brooke was that the Assembly de-
sired to have copies made to be used by the
special commission that was endeavoring 10
obtain more money for the troops. He does
not anticipate any outbreak of ~brigandage
and he promises, as public prosecutor, to Sc
cure the conviction and execution of all out
laws in the province, If, as he puts it, there
be any left.

LAwTON's MAIN OBJECT.
To Clear the Country of Small Bands
of Troublesome Rebels.

WASHINGTON. April 27.-The War De-
partment cid not receive any Information
to-day from General Otis respecting devel-
opments in the campaign about Calumpit.
1t is said now that while it was part Of
the plan for Lawton. moving westward.
TO take the rebels in the rear at Calumpit
and crush them between his own force and
that OF Macarthur, the principal object was
10 clear the country back to the foothills of
the numerous small bodies of insurgents who
have been marrying the country and maxi
ing life miserable for the American troops
by forays at unexpected times and places.
1t Is believed that General Lawton has
fully succeeded in this and that when he
has effected a juncture with Macarthur
north Of Calumpit IL will be possible 10 es-
tablish a comparatively short line of works
across the country and prevent the return
OF the insurgents from the north.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, April 27.-President
Gompers, of the American Federation Of
Labor. has abandoned the effort to secure
a peaceful and early settlement of the strike
at the American plate-giass works in Alex
