TORTURE FRIENDLY NATIVES
Filipinos Wreak Vengeance
on Inhabitants
FOR FAVORlNG THE AMERICANS
Particulars of the Capture of the
Men From the Relief.

Manila, June "Details regarding
the capture by the Filipinos of two
officers from the hospital ship Relief
have just been obtained. The Relief
lies in the harbor in front of this city.
Third Officer Fred Heppy and the as
sistant engineer, Charles Blanford,
rigged 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 some native canoes with
Filipinos on board put out and cap
tured the two men, who were unarmed,
and also took possession of the boat.
The Monadpook quickly sent boat
with a landing party under cover of
her guns and sheled the shore briskly.
The natives, However, rushed the pris-
oners into the woods before the Mon
adnock's boat reached the land. Per-
sons on board several other ships saw
the affair through glasses, but were un-
able to prevent the capture of Heppy
and Blanford
Friendly natives, arriving from the
country around San Isidro and San
Miguel, report that reign of terror
has prevailed since the American troops
were withdrawn from those parts of
the island. The insurgents who return
are dealing vengeance upon those of
their countrymen who have shown any
friendship toward the Americans dur
ing the latter's occupation of the terri
tory. The friendlies declare that un-
offending people are being murdered
daily, and that their houses are being
burned and their property confiscated.
Plenty of sympathizers with the in
surrection remained during the Ameri-
cans stay, and they have been report
ing these instances of friendliness
toward our troops. The refugees and
the inhabitants were badly oppressed
by the native soldiers before American
occupation, but their condition is
worse now. Doubtless there is much
truth in the reports. though stories
from Filipino sources are always mag
nifed.

Objects to Being Dead.

John Montpetit, OF Walla Walla, is
confronted by peculiar situation. He
is officially dead, yet very much alive
and in good health. He presented
himself at the auditors office and asked
to have the records changed to show that
he is still alive. About month ago
the body of man was found under a
warehouse with his nose in tin cup in
which sponge saturated with chloro-
form had been placed. The remains
were identified as those of Montpetit
by reputable persons who had known
Montpetit for years and had served in
the army with him. They described
the mark on his person and his person.
al characteristics, which were found to
tally exactly with the dead man. The
coroner's jury accordingly returned a
verdict that the remains were those of
MOntpetit and that he had committed
suicide. Yesterday Montpetit arrived
in the city from the Snake river coun-
try, where he had been working, and is
endeavoring to solve the mystery of
who he is. He does not relish the idea
of having his name recorded among the
county archives in the list of self-de-
structors, but how to amend the records
is a question. And then another inter-
esting and tantalizing question arises,
if Montpetit is not dead, who occupies
his grave?

HEAD OF THE NAVY.
Dewey Will Have Only a Life Title in
the House of Esteem.

New York, June 5.-In order that
it may be clearly understood whether
it was Admiral Upshur's intention,
when he suggested gift of residence
in Washington to Admiral Dewey,
that the property purchased should be-
come his personal property and pass to
his heirs, or whether it was his inten-
tion that it should remain the per-
maneDt home of the ranking officer Of
the navy, to be occupied by Admiral
Dewey as long as he remained at the
head of the navy, and thereafter to
pass to his successors as time goes on,
the department of history of the Unit
ed States wrote to Admiral Upshur,
asking for his idea on the matter un-
der date of May 80.
The admiral replied as follows:
"Your inference that it is my prefer
ence that a home be purchased by the
free.will offerings OF Americans for the
admiral of the navy, should be occu-
pied by Admiral Dewey as long as he
remains at the head of the navy and
then to pass to his successors is en-
tirely correct"

it is therefore hoped that all progress

adays about travel to the Klondike, 4"
said }. Francis, general passenger agent
OF the Burlington, to an Omaha report
or, after an extended trip in the North
west, "but when you get into the
Northwest you find there is about as
much interest in the Alaskan mining
section as ever. Prospectors are re-
turning from the North almost every
day, and the stories they tell keep
alive the desire in certain portion of
the people to seek their fortunes in
that country. The result is that travel
froom Portland, Seattle and Tacoma to
Alaska is about as heavy as it has ever
been.
"But the Klondike lines are not the
only ones which contribute to making
business lively in the North Pacific
coast towns. The mines just north of
Washington, in British Columbia, are
attracting their share of the attention,
and Seattle is deriving great benefi
from the rush to that territory. Ovel
i'll Idaho and Eastern Oregon there are
reports of rich new discoveries, and
when the snow leaves the mountains
the prospects are that there will be a
big rush to these diggings. All in all,
mining is taking a new impetus in the
Northwest, and business of all kinds
is feeling the benefits of it,"

SAM T. JACKS REQUEST.
"ell-Known Actor and Manager Wills
His Wife to His Brother.


His Wife to His Brother.
New York, June 5.-Sam T. Jack
willed his wife to his brother James G.
Jack. The last Testament of the actor
and theatrical managner, proprietor of
several theaters, "Creole" and other
burIesque companies, who died April
27, has been filed for probate in the
office of the surrogate. 1t contains this
remarkable provision:
"It is my wish first and foremost
that my brother James and my wife
Emma shall become husband and wife. +"
Mrs. Jack, the Emma" of the will,
was Miss Emma Ward, the favorite
acteress in the Lily Clay burlesque
company, which was playing at
Niblo's in 1892 when Sam 7. Jack
married her. James G. Jack was asked
if he would accept the bequest of his
brother, but he would make no state
ment.
The estate is valued at $4,000, of
which 100000 is said to be in banks
in this city and Chicago. The testator
left one-third of his property to his
wife Emma, one-third to his brother
James g. Jack and divided the re,
mainder among other relatives.
