Rebels Use Brass Bullets.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Reports
received at the war department from
the medical officers serving with
troops in the Philippines show that
Aguinaldo's army is using brass tip
ped bullets. Several American sol
diers have been wounded by the pois-
onous projectiles and in consequence
the wounds are more difficult to heal
than those caused by the ordinary
bullet. OF course the authorities can
do nothing to prevent the insurgents
using any kind of bullet they see fit
They have no government to which an
appeal can be made. Their action in
this respect, officials say. is anothus
indication of their utter unfitness for
self government.

They Fear More Outrages at the Hands
of the Whites.
TExARKANA, Ark, March 25.-A cor
respondent visited Little River county
yesterday and endeavored to get the
facts in regard to the trouble between
the whites and blacks there, but
found it a very difficult under
taking. The white citizens are
very reticent and are apparently not
willing to give any news for publica-
ton. It was impossible to learn how
many negroes had really been 1ynched
as nearly all the colored population
had left the neighborhood.
A Texas justice of the peace held an
inquest over the body of one of the
dead negroes and the jury returned a
verdict that the deceased came to his
death from natural causes or was
frozen to death" The verdict is re-
garded as gruesome joke.
