There are many native outlaw or
ganizations on these islands. and at
first we credited this outlawry to the
natives as class, but we have learned
our mistake They are not confined to
any one class, foreigners as well as ma
tives being members Of the various
bands
Probably the greatest Of these organ
izations is the Maccabebes, who are
especially strong in Manila and on the
island of Luzon. Almost every night
these organized freebooters find victims
in the city and suburbs. Chinese, Span
iards, natives and Americans all fall
prey to these outlaws. Lately they have
made VOW to kill at least one Ameri-
can soldier each week, and they have
been succeeding in their resolve. The
death of the Maccabebe organization in
Manila will be only the question Of a
few months, for our officials are now
hot on the trail Of it's leaders There are
other lawless classes of natives on these
islands. In many cases they are led by
'auting auting," or charm men, and
their system of robbery and plunder ex-
tends over large districts. A just ad-
ministration will eliminate many of
these outlaw bands, whose existence in
many cases was brought about by the
outrages of their cruel and oppressive
Spanish masters.
Lately have had occasion to learn
much about the inhumanity of Spanish
officials in the Philippines. Every day
these tales of barbarity are cropping out
It was in the collection of taxes that
the Spaniards were most unrelenting
The natives were taxed for everything,
even to their children. Out in Malaban
native had three children, and when
the taxgatherer arrived the native had
but money enough to pay the tax on
one child. He was given a choice Of
which this should be, and the other
two were beheaded before his eyes.
This is only one Of many similar cases.
It is no wonder that the insurgents re-
volted against their inhuman rulers,
and their thirst for Spanish blood is
but natural in view Of the circum-
stances.
The leper colony of Manila is located
in an old convent out on the Passe del

and customs fees The church as it ex-
lists here today is not the true Catholic
church. There are many ecclesiastical
orders here. some Of them being strictly
native and naturally in sympathy with
the insurgents. It is to some of these
ecclesiastical orders that the real cause
of these native uprisings is largely due.

NOTHING SERIOUS EXPECTEI
Cur Protest Agairs5 French Ext n:i1n
 at Shanghai

Washington, Jan 9-United Satcs Minister Conger at Picking has net ad- vised the state department of the re- ception accorded his protest aga.ns- the proposed extension of tte French settlement at Shanghai ever territory claimed to belong to the American concession. Therefore. the dep Tt ment feels warranted in assum- ng that the matter is not finally concluded and it has not been advised that the Chinese government has confirmed the French claim, as reported. Even If that were so. the action cou'd d net be regarded as final by cur government, which has so far not had any dealing directly with the French gOvernm 7nt touching this conflict of interests. Th9 conflicting claims are believed to be incident to the efforts of competing lines and commercial houses to obtain predominant edvantages along the water front and, though in indirectly a question of principle may be involved, it is not regarded as prob able that there will be any s3ri1us diff fcuIty experienced in arriving at a sat isfaCtory settlement.

THEY GOT IN LATE
The Democratic Contestants
 for LeqiSIdfiVe HOnOrS
The Deposition Proceedings Yes ferdaY, We're Closed But Re- opened Late in inc Afternoon.

Yesterday was the time set for talk ing depositions in the legislative con- test instituted by Chairman w. T.. Smith of the democratic county central committed against J. W. Banham, Winfield Scott and Samuel Brown, re publican members-el of the assem- ply. The only thing that has result ed is a continuance of the proceedings, involving a complication which casts a shadow upon their legality.
 The commission for taking the depo- sitions, as designated by Clerk Gill O. the district court, consisted of Justice Kincafd and Justice Johnstone. The office of the latter was named as the place for the meeting of the commits sion, and 10 o'clock a. m., January g, as the time Justice JohnstOne'S time having expired, Justice Gray was ap pointed The meeting took place at the designated time. The respondents were all present except MT. BroWn.s but he was represented by his attorney. Col. Jerry Millay, who also appeared for the others. Neither MT. Smith, any of the contestants nor any other demo crat even remotely interested in the result presented himself. The com
  examined only one witness, MT. Ben ham, who said that MT. Smith had told him that the contest would be discon- tinued.
 The commission having waited an hour, entered an order dischargtng the respondents, and the proceedings were at an end.
 Late in the afternoon a delegation of democrats consisting. among others, of H. M Willis and J. G. Evans, two of the three contestants visited the two justices who happened to te together, but not in the capacity of a commis- sion, and represented that they had misunderstood the time. They des:red the proceedings reopened. After soma conference between the justices and the delegation, Justice Kincaid moved that the action of the commission in the morning be reconsidered and set

aside. Justice Gray consented and 4 was done, whereupon the following no tice was sent out to the respondents to appear again and the contestants were held responsible for the service Of the notice:
 "In the Matter Of the Contest of the
 Election of J. w. Benham, Winfield
 Scott and Samuel Brown. 'W T. Smith, contestant, vs. J. W.
 Benham, Winfield Scott and Samuel
 Brown, Respondents.
 ''To J. w Benham. Winfield Scott and Samuel Brown and your attorne ys. notice:
 This is to notify you and each of you that the time of taking the depO- sitions in the above entitled matter is set at the hour of 2 D. m. of Tuesday, January 10. 1899 at the office Of Jus tice of the Peace Gray. in the city Of Phoenix. By order Of the commission CTS made this 9th day of Janury, 1899
 "GILBERT D. GRAY. Justice of the Peace and Commis-
 ''J w. KINCAID, Justice of the Peace and Commis-
 sioner'
 The respondents will probably dis regard these proceedings on theground that having been discharged, the com- having no business before it, ceased to exist There is no law by which it can reform Itself. and if there were, it is too late to do so. The dis trict clerk who takes the initiative in such matters could not at this late date esignate a commission.
 The order of the commission dis charging the contestees was received h faf, 10a re who said, m the first place the conteSt was based on nothing. If it should be prosecuted and a democratic assembly acting upon the opportunity afforded should seat the contestants, it would be ruinous to the party in this county.

FIRE! FIRE!! FIRE.!!
Was the Terrible Cry-The City of Phoenix Has a Narrow Escape From the FIames-Mystery Un-
 raveled-The Villain
 Discovered.

January about 10 a. m. the terrible cryof fire was heard on all sides. Vast clouds of smoke were seen issuing from the doors of a frame storero0m on First avenue It looked for few minutes as if the whole city would go up in flames. The brave firemen responded quickly to the call. Immense crowds blocked the streets to witness the terrible scene. But just at the right moment some cool headed as well as well as brave fellow rushed to the roof and with a pail of water smothered the fire. On closer examination there was found a red hot sizzling object. Never had any one seen anything just like it. He could make out Haydens four, $2.10; ranch eggs, BOG; Mocha & Java coffee, 25c; big present free-and then his clouded brain began to brighten. He had found one of McKee's list of red hot prices and the mystery was explained. We knew our prices were @'warm,'' but did not thing them so hot as to fire build ing and call out the entire fire depart ment to cool them.

SUPERVISORS CLERK
Captain John Gray Was Appointed
 Yesterday.

The board of supervisors WIS in
 weekly session yesterday. It d d what it was expected would be done a
 week ago It elected a clerk The
 plum was secured by Captain John
 Gray, who will enter upon his duties
 February 1. There were two other candidates for the office, T. r. Grindell and James NcNaughtCn. The claims of both were considered and there was strong pressure brought to bear in favor of Mr. Grindell. During his two years residence in the county he had populariZed himself as a member of the faculty of the normal school and had to a certain extent earned pubic c gratitude by becoming a Rough Rider. But Captain GTay's claims were equally strong He had been gallant sold CT of the civil war, life long and active republican and was beside an old res ident who had gained an unimpeach able reputation for integrity.
 The board also re8ppointed David Turner gardener of the court hou=e plaza fer another year. There was really nothing else to be done. MT. Turner can make flowers bloom a month earlier than any other man in the valley and he can make more of them and a greater yarie.y grow than anybody e,se. The plaza as it now is was his recommendation. It is the most beautiful spot in the city and it is one of the citys most effective ad- vertisements as a winter resort.
 There are two other appointments to be made by the board. One is the court house janitor and the other the annex janitOr. The first place is TOW filled by Seth ByeTs and the latter by James Lindsay. Supervisor Norton moved that these -incumbents be con- tinued in office. Supervisor Marshall said he was willing to let the matter stand for the present, but he minated that he would later insist on a rota- ton. Supervisor Priest made no ex- pression and the janitors were left hanging. The rest of the day was taken up with auditing bills and Cthe7 routine work.

 According to an announce ment made during the session a meeting of the Territorial Bar association was held at 2 o'clock, Selim M. Franklin, pre- siding. It was stated at the opening of the association that this sessi was only preliminary to one at which some action would be taken lSCwa~d pVocur- ing a re-codifcation of the statutes and the establishment of a circuit court system. The latter matter aroused some debate. but no o0pcsi- ton. A committee was appointed to report upon these subjects at a meet ing to be held at o'clock tn s after noon, when the annual election Of Of fcers would also be held.
 Judge Woodward inquired regarding the proposed circuit court system, what additional expense it wou d en- tail TEe president rep'i9d tha5 under a similar system in the first district the additional expense was the salary of tEe judge, $2,0OO His duties, however, included those of the prOb9te judge which reduced the additional expense to about $500. This w3s more than covered by the expedition with which the court was erab,ed to tra cs- act. business.
