REBELS CAPTURE AMERICANS
TWO OFFICERS TAKEN BY ENEMY
IN SIGHT OF THEIR FRIENDS.
Friendlies Tell Narrowing Stories OF
the Insurgents Cruelty to
Suspects.

Details regarding the capture by
FIliplnos of two officers of the hospital
ship Relief have been received. The
Relief lies in the harbOr in front OF
Manila. The third officer, Fred Hep
py, and Assistant Engineer Charles
Blanford, rugged sail on one of the
ships boats and went sailing along the
shore on the south, opposite the in
surgent lines. The boat became be-
Gained near the shore and some ma
dive canoes with Filipinos on board
put out and captured the two men +,
who we unarmed, and also took pos
session of the boat.
The United States turret ship Men
adnock quickly sent boat with land
ing party ashore under cover of her
guns and shelled the shore briskly.
The natives, however, rushed the pris-
oners into the woods before the Mon
adnock's boat reached the land. Per-
sons on board several other ships saw
the affair through glasses, but were
unable to prevent the capture of Hep
DIV and Blanford.
Friendly natives arriving at Manila
from the country around San Isldro and
San Miguel report that reign OF ter
ror has prevailed since the American
troops were withdrawn from those
parts of the island.
The insurgents who are returning
there deal vengeance upon those OF
their countrymen who have shown any
friendship toward the Americans dur
ing the latter's occupation of the terri
tory. The friendlies declare that I'M
offending people are being murdered
daily and that their houses are being
burned and their property confiscated.
Plenty of sympathizers with the IN
surrection remained during the Amer
icans' stay, and they have been reports
mo those instances of friendliness to-
ward our troops.
The refugees add that the inhabi-
tants were badly oppressed by the ma
five soldiers before the American oc-
cupation, but that their condition is
worse now
Doubtless there is much truth In the
renorts. though such stories from
Filipino sources are always magnlfied.

Proceeds of Cotton Sales During the Civil
War Now in the Treasury

often captured, for instance showed
that James Brown, a merchant, had so
many bales marked in certain way.
The bales not burned could thus be
easily identified from the marks and
names on them. In all cases the books
captured containing the names of the
conslgnors and owners were sent to
the treasury with the papers relating
to the capture. Where are these books
and papers? Well, don't know, but
| suppose they are some where in the
treasury vaults.
. LAS we never knew when the claim
ant might come forward and make a
demand on the treasury for the pro-
ceeGs of their cotton, the money IL
brought was never turned into the
general fund but always remained IN
an account by itself. IL is so long
since this money was deposited and
the testimony necessary to make case
is In so many instances unattalnable,
by the owners, that it is scarcely prob.
able that any great portion OF this
enormous amount of money will ever
leave the treasury. The only very
large sum from this fund that was ever
returned TO its owners was paid to
Gazaway b. Lamar of Savannah, Ca,
and New York. Ex-At5orney General
Williams and General h. F. Butler OF
Massachusetts, were his counsel. They
got back for him 100000 for cotton
taken in the manner [ have described.
General Butler said 80 me when the
! case was pending:
"'If [ were few years younger and
wanted to make vast fortune quickly
| could d. it more easily and certainly
in the prosecution of these claims than
in any other way
cit was always wOnoer to me that
after the action of the government IN
the Lamar case more southern people
did not attempt to recover their money
from the treasury. The principle OF
renavment was then established.
TIE main difficulty, of course, would

was taken, sold and the money tufn-
ed into the treasury New YORK

"Tbe records of the treasury are
fnu of romances," said a treas
& ury official at Washington. "Take
s that bureau called the Division OF
4 abandoned ands and Property, for
Il example. Its in itself one great ro-
nance. Why. there is about S13,000,
900 in its keeping belonging to the
people in the south alone. You see,
during and at the close OF the CIVIL
war, valuable property Of all sorts fell
into the hands of army officers and was
turned into the treasury. Finally the
amount became so great thai when
William E. Chandler became assistant
secretary he created division to have
charge of the entire matter. More
than $4,000 900 charged to that divls-
ion is the proceeds of cotton taken
from plantations and towns all over
the south and sold.
81 know of one case in which 2,0OO,-
900 worth of cotton was taken from
far south plantation, when the staple
was worth $500 bale, and sold. The
people to whom it belonged were not
rebels at all, but were always loyal TO
the union. They haven't an idea
where their cotton went to. Their
names were on the bales, and it
wouldn't be at all difficult for them to
make their case if they only knew what
ldo' 1t is nearly thirty-seven years
SINCE the money was deposited there.
d1n't know whether any of the own
efS are alive or not, and if they are it
hardly probable that they will ever
get back what is really their own. All

possession of the government, and it
