Then came temporary pause in the
proceedings, short, 1t is true, but long
enough for Allen to have indicated that
he wished to say something. He stared
at the ground and remained silent.
The sheriff gave a signal. This was
communicated to the party behind the
screen that was to operate the ma
chine. There was a duh sound as the
heavy weight, 450 pounds. released
from Its fastenings plunged to the
ground, jerked the rope and shot the
body into the air about 40 inches. The
body settled back upon the rope with
the feet about one foot above the
ground, and but for an occasional
culver there were no more indications
of life. Under the right ear was a pro-
tuberance, showing plainly that the
neck had been broken
Drs. Riddell and Fleming each

called off the pulse each quarter of a
minute, IS. IS, II, 90 being the record Of
the first minute. The end of the second
minute showed a pulse of 2S beats to
the quarter. The third quarter of the
third minute showed the highest pulse,
30 to the quarter Then it began to
drop. The end of the fourth minute
showed a pulse of is. After four and
OIt-ludElef minutes lIle physicians an
nounced the pulse rapidly lessening,
being barely perceptible at the end of
six minutes. Eighteen minutes after the
first pulse was taken Joseph Allen was
pronounced dead. The signal had been
given by the sheriff seven minutes after
o'clock and about half-past the body
was taken down and placed into the
coffin. 1t was removed to an under
takers and later in the day buried in
the Catholic cemetery. The features
looked lifelfke, barring a trifle of discol-
grafton.
About 70 people witnessed the execu-
ton. The early hour had the desired
result in the way of keeping down the
number of Specta tors. About a dozen
sheriffs We're among the spectators. The
custom of giving the condemned man
stimuants, just prior to the execution,
to sustain him was not observed. A
physician was there to administer any
thing wanted in that line, but Allen
refused either drink or drug. The doc
tors said that the mans neck was
broken by the first shock, which sent
him into fit from which he never re-
vived, making death almost painless.

from out of town who witnessed the
execution were: Sheriffs Shaw of Fer

OF the government at this port Cen

complained to Collector of the Port
jackson that on the occasion of the
arrival of the transport Sheridan, a few
days since with the Minnesota troops,
General Reeve, in the face of objection
and warning, boarded the vessel before
pratique had been given, in violation
of federal quarantine regulations Act
ing under the law. Collector Jackson re-
ferred the matter to United States Dis
trict Attorney Coombs to determine
whether or not the offending officer
should be prosecuted.
The statement of facts made by Dr.
Kinyou does not agree with the story
told by General Reeve. The general
claims that he received no warning
from any government officer, and states
that he boarded the vessel against his
will simply because he was pulled on
board by members of his former COM
mand,

Washington, Sept. 14.--Mail advices
received at the war department from
Manila state that the natives of the
island of Samar are praying for the
speedy arrival of the Americans and
will welcome the hoisting of the Amer
ican flag.
1t is said that as a result of the forci-
bic collection of taxes by the emissaries
of the insurgents, who take all they
have got, the natives are in state of
semi-starvation. They have no faith IN
the Tagalos and they earnestly desire
American protection. An insurgent
leader, General Luseban, has bolted 10

by him for the insurgents. The agents
of the insurgents endeavor to force the
natives to join their forces, which they
will not do. The condition of the islanA
it is asserted, is rapidly approaching
riot and anarchy, as the heavy and long
drag upon them in the form of tribute
exasperates them and they, the letter
says, threaten desperate disturbances

fado volunteers. who, during the last
three months of 1898, served as a clerk
under Major Kilbourne, and later Lieu
tenant Colonel Potter, auditor of pub
lie accounts, Manila. publishes this
evening signed statement in which
the gravest charges of corruption are
made against the American officials in
Manila. He says an examination Of
the vouchers forwarded to Washing
ton Will show that exorbitant prices are
paid for all kinds of supplies purchased
in Manila; that vast quantities of high
class wines and other supplies have
been purchased ostensibly for the
Spanish hospital, while in the American
hospital only the coarsest supplies are
furnished. The robberies, he asserts,
will aggregate an enormous sum.
