KILLED BY A SOLDIER.
A Recruit Stationed Mt Fort LOGAN
Murders Two Policemen In Dem
yer Sunday Morning.

Denver, COL, Aug. 1.-two police Of
ficers were murdered here at one o'clock
Sunday morning by recruit belonging
to company L, Thirty-fourth volunteer
infantry, now stationed at Fort Logan
Three soldiers had been raising a dis
turbance in Louis Klipfel's saloon, at
the corner of Market and Twentieth
streets, during the night, and Officer
Tom Clifford was notified of their ac-
ton and asked to keep his eye on them.
He followed them for an hour or so,
and came upon the men at the corner of
Blake and Twentieth streets. He was
about to accost the soldiers, when one
of them turned On him, placing the
muzzle of a revolver to his breast, and
sent bullet through his heart. Clifford
expired almost Immediately. All three
of the soldiers then started to run, but
two were overtaken and captured. The
one that did the shooting, however,
continued running, with Officer w. E.
Griffith on bicycle in pursuit. The
fleeing man lodged through alleys and
open lots for several blocks, Griffith pat
ronizing the streets. On Sixteenth
street, near the union depot, the officer
saw the man making for the viaduct
He shot at him twice, the soldier re-
turning the fire, MORALLY wounding
Griffith. He died few minutes later
while being conveyed in an ambulance
to the station
The entire police and detective forces
of the city were sent out after the man,
and the country for miles around has
been patrolled and searched, without
getting any trace of the double muir
derer, excepting that a man answer
ing his description was seen on Fiji
teenth street few moments after Crit
fifth was shot. His two companions,
who are now in the city Jail, deny any
knowledge of the murder, but from
other recruits who saw the three to-
:gether Saturday evening, it was learned
that the name of the man who did the
killing was Wellington C. LlewelIyn,
and that he came from Globe, A. T.
"A reward has been offered for him dead
or alive. There was talk of 1ynching.
should he be taken alive, but this seems
to have died out.

SAN NATEo FALLS


Manila, Aug. IA reconnaissance
Saturday by troops of Gen. Samuel B.
NJ. Young's brigade, with the object Of
discovering the whereabouts Of the en-
envy near San Mateo, northeast Of the
San Juan reservoir, about ten miles
from Manila, resulted in the occupation
of San Mateo. The American loss was
three killed and 10 wounded, including
a lieutenant of the Twenty-frst i'm
fantry. The Americans approached
San Mateo in three columns. Maj.
Cronin, with Is men of the Twenty
fifth infantry advanced from Nov
aliches, five miles west of San Mateo.
Capt. Rivers, with hundred men of
the Fourth cavalry, and Capt. Parker,
formerly, lieutenant colonel of the
Twelfth New York volunteer regiment,
with $50 men of the Twenty-first and
Twenty-fourth infantry, and the
Fourth cavalry, approached in two col
umns from the south. Maj. Cronin ex-
perienced many difficulties arising
from the condition of the country, and
failed to effect junction with Capt.
Rivers west of San Mateo, as had been
planned.
Capt. Rivers, advancing, took an out
post of the enemy two miles south
west of San Mateo. He then encoun-
tered strong resistance among the hills,
the enemy firing from excellent posi-
| tons. Having failed to connect with
Maj. Cronin, and seeing that the town
was already occupied by the Americans,
Capt. Rivers withdrew, covering his
withdrawal by heavy volley. He lost
a sergeant killed. Capt. Parker, on ad-
vancing, found the enemy strongly in
| trenched on the far side of some rice
| fields, about a mile wide and covered
with deep mud. Pushing forward rap
| idly, he routed the Filipinos after 40
minutes fighting, and then continued
the march upon San Mateo, which he
about half-past one in the afternoon.
Maj. Cronin entered the town about
| half-past four. The Americans still &C.
cupy the place. Our men were ex-
| hausted by the heavy marching. Twen-
| ty-three of the enemy are known to
| have been killed.
| This is the first action in which Col
Burt's colored troops participated.
They behaved we'll, their leaders hav.
ing difficulty in holding them back.
| Gen. Young accompanied Capt. Park
er's column and was under fire through
out the engagement. It is estimated
that the enemy numbered between 300
and 400 men.
| Word has been received from Lieut.,
Gilmore, of the United States gunboat
Yorktown, who with IA members of the
crew of the gunboat was captured by
the insurgents last April near BaIer, on
the east coast of Luzon. The message
which comes through Spanish prison
ers, is to the effect that the officer and
his men are at Vigan, in the province OF
South Ilocos, on the west coast of Lu.
