the stake two miles from here at $3.50
Sunday afternoon in the presence of
$500 people.
Before the torch was applied to the
pyre, the negro was deprived of his ears,
fingers and other portions of his anat-
omy. The negro pleaded pitifully for
his life, while the mutilation was going
on, but stood the ordeal of fire with
surprising fortitude. Before the body
was cool, it was cut to pieces, the bones
were crushed into small bits and even
the tree upon which the wretch met his
fate was torn up and disposed of as
souvenirs. The negro's heart was cut
in several pieces, as was also his liver.
Those unable to obtain the CHASTITY rel
les direct, paid their more fortunate
possessors eXtravagant sums for them.
Small pieces of bone went for % cents,
and a bit of the liver, crisply cooked,
sold for ten cents. AS soon as the negro
was seen to be dead there was ire
mendous struggle among the crowd
which had witnessed his tragic end to
secure the souvenirs. rush was made
for the stake, and those near the body
were forced against it, and had TO fight
for their freedom. Knives were quick
ly produced, and the body was soon dis
membered.

a revolver and level it at Gov. Atkin-
son, hut his arm was seized and the PTS

and then Col. Stotsenburg, who had
spent the night with his family at Ma
Mia. came upon the field. The men inn
mediately recognized him and raised
cheer. Col. Stotsenburg, deciding to
charge as the cheapest way out of the
difficulty, led the attack at the head of
his regiment. He fell with a bullet in
the breast dying instantly, about 200
yards from the breastworks.
Lieut.. Sisson fell with a bullet in his
heart, the bullet striking him near the
picture of a girl suspended by ribbon
from his neck.
In the meantime the artillery had
arrived and shelled the trenches. The
Filipinos stood until the Nebraska
troops were right on the trenches, and
then they bolted TO the second line IF
intrenchments, mile back.
The Nebraska regiment lost two pri-
Yates killed and had many wounded,
including two lieutenants. The Iowa
regiment had several wounded. The
Utah regiment had one officer and three
men wounded.
Thirteen dead Filipinos were found
in the trench. Their loss was compare
lively small on account of their safe
shelter.
The Americans carried the second
trench with small loss and are now
holding the town.
VIII Have Revenge.
The loss of the Nebraska regiment
in the compaign is the greatest sus-
tanned by any regiment, and Sundays
disaster has greatly saddened officers
and men, who promise, to take fierce
vengeance in the next fight.
Col. Stotsenburg has won a reputa-
ton as one of the bravest fighters in the
army. He always led his regiment and
had achieved remarkable popularity
with his men since the war began, al
though, during his first colonelcy, the
rigid discipline of the regular troops,
thought him a hard officer.

The Remaining Indictments.

After the crowd left the courtroom.
District Attorney Rothermel was ques-
toned regarding the remaining indict-
ments. He said there are three of them
and they are still pending, but he would
not say what his course will be regard
ing them.
Political friends of Senator Quay are
urging him to bring criminal prosecu-
tons against those enemies who they
claim are behind the prosecution of
their favorite, but the senator will not
indicate what his course in this respect
NAV be-
