IN May, 1898, Chauncey b. Hum
phrey was graduated from the West
Point Military academy. Four years
before he had been appointed from
the Seventh district in Kansas at the
instance of Congressman Jerry SimP-
son. He was sent at once to Cuba
and participated with his regiment in
the battles about Santiago. Upon re-
turning to the United States his COM
pany took part in the short campaign
against the Leech Lake Indians in
Minnesota. A few months later he
went with his regiment to Manila,
and the kilograms of few days ago
reported him as among the seriously
wounded. Here is indeed a record
in three different wars in as many
different quarters of the globe inside
of one year.

The people of Topeka are planning
to purchase for their famous military
leader, Gen. Funston, n handsome
home as a testimonial in lieu of a
sword, as originally designed. w H.
Barnes, secretary of the Kansas Hor-
ticultural society, leads the move
ment, and his appeal for funds says:
''In tight place any general would
trade $40, 900 sword for $3.50 re-
volver, if the revolver was well
loaded. or even a hatful of rocks
might be better. in pinch David s
pebbles were mightier than Goliath s
sword. Gen. Funston found a bride
since he left us. A married couple
should have a home. How much bet
ter to present them with pleasant
and useful home in Topeka than a
useless sword. Let the subscriptions
roll in and buy them home. and
then furnish il and put a rig in the
barn and money in the bank for the
little necessaries needed until he is
settled or fixed at an income.

NOVEMBER 10.

Filipinos Are Forming Into Small Bands.
Reported Unconditional Surrender of
Entire Province of Zamboanga-Hartl
Blow to the Insursent Cause.
MANILA, Nov. 27.-The last Filipino
council of war was held by the retreat
ing leaders at Bayombong on Nov. ID in
the house now occupied by General Mac
Arthur. 1t was attended by Aguinaldo,
Pho Del Pillar and some members of the
so.called cabinet. Information has
reached General Macarthur from sew
eral sources to the effect that the coun-
Gil recognized the futility of attempting
further resistance to the Americans
with united forces and agreed that the
Filipino troops should scatter and should
hereafter follow guerilla methods.
Reports of ambuscades and sllirm-
ishes come from every section of the
country along the railroads. Those dis
tricts seem to be filled with small bands.
Yesterday four men of Company D.,
Ninth infantry, We're foraging beyond
Bamban, when 20 Filipinos took them
i'll ambush, killing one and capturing
the other three The Americans re-
sisted for half an hour. The firing being
heard at Bamban, Lieutenant Frazer
with a squad followed the retreating
Filipinos seve al miles. The Americans
found the body of the soldier boloed.
They burned the hamlet where the
fight took place.
Three Filipino riflemen ambushed an
American surgeon near Capas. He shot
one and the others fled.
Between Bamban and Angeles a mule
train was fired upon by the insurgents,
and Spaniard. former prisoner of
the Filipinos, who was with the train,
was shot. At Malasiqui the officials
who welcomed the Americans were
murdered. This was the only railroad
town which the Americans did not
garrison and on the night the troops
withdrew band of insurgents entered,
dragged Antonio Mejia, president of the
town, into the street and cut his throat.
The murderers then assassinated the
vice president and five members of the
town council in the same manner and
told the frightened natives who wit
messed the slaughter to spread the news
that similar fate awaited all friends of
the Americans
The mayor of San Carlos, who rode
in the carriage with General Macarthur
and Colonel Bell when the Americans
entered the town amid the cheers of the
people, was murdered the next night.
Military activity continues in every
section. Colonel Bells regiment has
advanced from Bayombong upon Man
gatarem, where it is supposed there is
large insurgent force Two battalions
OF the newly arrived Twenty eighth
infantry have been sent by cascoes to
Bacoor to reinforce the south line.
Major Spence, with SO men of the
Thirty-second regiment, surrounded a
village near Bautiston during the night
and attacked the place at daybreak,
capturing a Filipino captain and 10
men with seven rifles.
The latest news from General Young
is that there are ten cavalrymen and 200
Macabebes with him, most of the horse
men who started having been compelled
to drop out because their horses failed
them.

oners from Victoria to San Carlos
