The tragic scene which attended
the death of Corp. Leonard f. Hayes,
Americas only traitor in the Philip
pines, was witnessed by Sergt.
George A. Lamarsh, of Company Ii,
Twentieth Kansas Volunteers, now
in this city. Sergt. Lamarsh went
to the Philippines with the Second
Oregon Regiment fourteen months
ago. Corp. Hayes, he says, became
enamored of a Filipino beauty, and,
deserting his comrades, was placed in
charge of Filipino battery with the
rank of Lieutenant. He met his
| death almost in the first engagement
in which he fought against his couu-
try. Speaking of this battle, Sergt.
Lamarsh says:
1--WE had charged the Filipincs,
driving them back and killing and
| Wounding many. Among the
wounded left on the field We found
/ Hayes. He was recognized by sever
al of the boys. One of the soldiers
of the Second Oregon drove his bay
onet through the body of the wound
ed traitor aud lifted him above his
head and held him there while the
soldiers shot him. The body was
thrown into trench aud buried
with several dead FilipInos. We
would have treated him worse IL we

List of Fatalities.

SEATTLE, Washington, July 28.-
The Times prints this afternoon what
purports to be a full list of fatalities
IN the American army in the Philip
pines up to June 2. The list is fur
nished by Fred f. Eitell, a repre-.
sentative of the Manila Freedom,
who claims to have obtained it from
the records Of the surgeou-general of
Manila. The total number of fatal
tiles is 1856; % officers, 500 privates
and ii civilians, attached to the
army. A remarkable feature of the
record is found in the statement that
the number of officers killed in bat
tie is out of all proportion to the
number of privates killed. On the
other hand, fewer officers died f'om
disease proportionately than pri
Yates. Out of the % officers dead Il
were killed in action.

FIRST TENNESSEE REGIMENT.

Oct. :.

Oct. !.
WASHINGTON. July 81 3l.-Repre-
sentative John Wesley Gaines a.
rived in Washington this morning
and put in n busy day. Shortly
after the officials reached their
offices he called at the War Depart
ment and Gen. Corbin informed
him that he had prepared a calcula.
ton for the President as to when the
First Tennessee Regiment would
arrive at San Francisco and found it
would raach there not later than
Oct. Z. The transports now starting
for Manila would bring the First
Tennessee on their return trip. Gen.
Corbin then gave Mr.. Gaines the
following official letter relating to
the muster out of the regiment.
Dear COL GdineS:-Referring to our
conversation to-day, | beg to inform
you that If the Tennessee Regiment is
mustered out in San Francico each pri-
vate will receive travel paw to the
amount of $l06 so; corporals, $ll7, cooks
and sergeants, $l32 and First Sergeants,
$3.50. The cost In transportation from
San Francisco to Nashville wonld
amount to about $45 in each case, which,
of course, will have to be paid by the
men. They Will also have to pay their
own subsistence after they are muster
ed out in San Francisco. 1t is remark
ed that the department stands ready to
send the regiment to Nashville for mus
ter out should the majority of the regi-
ment so desire. Sincerely yours,
"H. G. CoRBTN, AdjutAnt General"
Come As Bo6y.
Gen. Corbin then further empha-
sized the fact that if the troops were
mustered out in Nashville they
would receive no travel pay. Mr.
Gaines then took up the question of
getting the department to allow the
troops to wear their arms and equip
ments to Nashville in the event they
come home in regimental order, in
accordance with the plan now prac-
tically agreed upon if discharged at
San Francisco. Gen. Corbin aud
Gen Burlington said that Gov. Nc
Millin could get these arms by ac-
cepting them as the portion due the
State from the Government. and
agree ing that they should be charg-
ed to the State. He gave Mr.. Gaines
d blank form Of agreement to hand
Gov. McMillin to sign and return to
the department if satisfactory to
him.

SOnO houto iaeCi, al oEftNiuS iu ri"s staff on freight train Sunday morning.
 A posse was organized by Sheriff Johnson and left for the scene of the battle about noon Sunday, arriving there at sun-down. The only object of this expedition was to secure the body of young Montgomery, which they did, returning Monday morning. Durham acted as guide, and declared that everything at the camp was in the same condition as when he left the night before, with the exception that the corpse of Montgomery had been mutilated, Winchester having been placed to the back of his head and dis charged. The coroner's inquest was held here Monday and verdict was found that Montgomery was killed by an unknown Indian. Two of the dead Navajoes were identified by members of the posse as those of Buettin and his son.
 Buettin was the leader of band of about forty renegade Navajoes, and while ruling his followers never had had any standing as a chief outside of his own band. He has had frequent trouble in the past with the riders along the river.
 Sheriff Johnson and Frank Hoch- derffer made second visit to the camp Tuesday to try and recover the horses which stampeded at the commence ment of the fight, but party of Navajoes had got there before them, captured the horses, saddle and guns, and with the bodies of their dead tribesmen, equipments and store of ierked venison had left in the direc- tion of the reservation. They had left the body of one of their dead, and this action is interpreted to mean that he is an offset for Montgomery in their well-known law of Life for life." The others will be revenged later.

 The funeral of Montgomery occurred Tuesday from the NJ. E. church.
 F.. Nj. Montgomery of Phoenix, father of the young man, arrived Monday, and was deeply affected at the death of his boy. He had only recently received a letter from William announcing his intention of quitting the range the first of next month and returning home.
 Governor Murphy considered the affair of sufficient gravity to personally investigate the matter for the federal government.
 The Phoenix Republican" and "Herald" have sent up several "howls" that the local correspondents have ex- aggerated the situation here, but the truth of the matter is that the pre- version occurred in the offices of those papers.
 No one in this vicinity ever expected a concerted attack from the Indians, but God protect the lone traveller they catch of his guard.
 As an example of this feeling no mail arrived from Tuba City Tues day, neither white man nor Indian caring to take the chances on the long star route. However, a white man brought the mail in last night, the Navajoes refusing to perform the duty, explaining that they were afraid to make the trip.
 A letter from F. w. Volz, of Canon Diablo, to a citizen of Flagstaff, has the following to say: '1n accord- ance with my promise to advise you of state of affairs in Indian country, will say that everything is in its usual way, and the citizens need not fear any out break of the Indians. The Indians re- gret the loss of two of their men and the death of the white man. The ln-
