Manila, June "details regarding
the capture by Filipinos of two officers

The Relief lies in the harbor in front
of this city. Third officer Fred Heppy
and Assistant Engineer Sharles Bland
ford rugged a sail on one Of the ships
boats and went sailing along the shore,
on the south. opposite the insurgent
lines. The boat became becalmed near
the shore and sone native canoes with
Filipinos on board put out and captured
the two men, who were unarmed, and
also took possession of the boat.
Rushed into the Woods.
The United States turret ship Monad-
mock quickly sent a boat with land
ingSnperty ashore, under cover OF her
guns, and shelled the shore briskly.
The natives, however. rushed che pris-
oners into the woods before the Monad-
nock's boat reached land. Persons on
board several other ships saw the affair
through glasses, but were unable to pre-
vent the capture Of Messrs. Heppy and
Blanford.
Friendly natives arriving here from
theacountry around San Isidro and San
Miguel report that a reign of terror has
prevailed since the American troops
were withdrawn from those parts of the
islands. The insurgents, who are re-
turning there deal vengeance upon
those Of their eountrymen who have
shown any friendship towards the
Americans during the latters occupa-
tGon of theTterritory.

The friendlies declare that unoffend-
ing people arc being murdered daily,
and that their houses are being burned
and their property confiseated. Plenty
Of ss2npafhizers with the insurrection
remained during the Americans stay,
and they have been reporting these in
stances of Niendliness towards our
troops. The refugees add that the in
habitants were badly oppressed by the
native soldiers before the American oc-
cupation. but that their condition is
worse now. Doubtless there is much
truth in the reports, though such stor-
les from Filipino sources are always
magnified.
