from Captain McQuesten, surgeon of

tiers, a photographer who was captured
and tortured by the Filipinos. Peters
was made prisoner while taking pic
lures outside the lines. He was thrust
into a filthy Jail, where he was visited
by native captain, who tested his
sword upon his body and promised tc
kill him. The rebel chief then called in
a. number OF naked savages, all armed
who executed a war dance and made
passes at Peters, one of them woundinS
him in the arm. The next morning he
was taken to Malolos, where ne found
eight Americans, two Englishanen and
a Spaniard. From here he finally Sc
cured his release through the interven-
tion of American officials.
The saVages who attacked Peters,
continues Captain McQuesten, were OF
the tribe known as headhunters and
cannibals. They live in the interior of
the island, and will not show any
mercy after this to any unfortunate
white man who may fall into thedr

tunately held This will be entirely
apart from the insurance he will receive
on furniture, personal property and I'M

policies provide for payments to the
insured for each day his business is not
in operation.
William M Randell, secretary of the

of Fire Underwriters, said: Il know
Mr.. Leland has policies which will bring
him a stated amount each day or each
hour that his hotel business is not run

THE use and occupancy policies,
such as he held, usually provide that
for every day that a room cannot be
occupied because of fire, certain sum
shall be paid Many owners of public
houses take out such policies to pay
for loss of patronage in event Of fire.
