a camp OF Confederate Veterans at ocala,
Fla, protesting against the adoption OF
the propos ton OF Mr.. Butler IN. ca 10
pension ex-ConfSderate soldiers.
In this connection, Mr.. Allen (Neb }
said:

and die OF the Confederate soldiers to say
that they would consider seriously any
picpos ton to receive pensions. They have
cared for themselves for q third Of a CEN
fury. They have cared for their ceme-
tsvlss and for their desd /, seems to me
that the whole matter can be closed by
saying that both the president OF the United
StGbes Gp1 the author o. The amendment
were carried away by their enthusiasm. In

THESE sOLDIERs NAY BE SHOT:

The President Likely to Approve tho Sen.
tsnce II the Charge Made is True.
WARRINGTON. Sept. 15.-The War Depart
ment has not received anything from Gen.
Otis or any other official source to confirm the
statement contained In a news despatch from
Manila. that Corporal Damhoffer and Private
Conine OF Company B. Sixteenth Infantry. have
been sentenced to death by a court-mar tial for
outraging Filipino women. Officers OF the De-
partment said to-day that they had no reason
to doubt the report. and they were inclined to
believe that the President would approve the
sentence. in order that an example might be
made OF the convicted men.
Since the beginning OF the war with Spain
several soldiers have been convicted OF various
capital crimes and sentenced to be shot. but
the President has committed tho penalty in
every instance. In tho endeavor OF the Gov
eminent to show the people OF the Philip
pines that the United States intend to
preserve order In the islands and deal
Justly with the natives. the greatest efforts
have been made to suppress excuses on the
part OF the American soldiers Under our
military law no soldier can be shot without
the approval Of the President. and tho papers
concerning Damhoffer and Conine must be
examined by Mr. Mckinley before final action
10 taken.

There were twenty-seven counts In the indict-
ment. The most important referred to four
tubs Of strawberries which we're found in the
boiling room OF the factory. Inspector Thomas
testified to finding this fruit. which. he de-
clared. was the worst he ever saw.
The defence maintained that there was no
evidence to show that the fruit was intended
to be prepared into food. The prosecution re-
piled that the possession OF such stun was In
itself an offence. The chairman OF the court
said he would leave everything IN the jury.
Mr. Walton. counsel for the defence. pointed
out the seriousness OF the charge. He said tho
inspector who made the charge had no special
qualifications. and Lipton's. no said. paid the
highest prices In the market and reserved tho
