MURDERS OC-
CURRING DAILY
Insurgents Deal Vengeance Upon Those
of Their Countrymen Who Showed
Friendship to the Americans.

MANILA, May 31.-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 assistant
engineer, Charles Blanford, rugged a
sail on one of the ships boats and went
sailing along the shore on the south, op-
posite the insurgent lines.
The boat became becalmed near the
shore and some native canoes with Fill
pinos on board put out and captured the
two men, who were unarmed, and also
took possession of the boat. The Monad-
mock quickly sent boat with landing
party under cover of her guns and
shelled the shore briskly. The natives,
however, rushed the prisoners into the
woods before the Monadnock's boat
reached the land. Persons on board
several other ships saw the affair through
glasses, but were unable to prevent the
capture of Heppy and Blanford.
Friendly natives, arriving from the
country around San Isidro and San Mig
uel, report that reign of terror has pre-
vailed since the Amer lean troops were
Withdrawn from those parts of the island.
The insurgents who return are dealing
vengeance upon those of their country
men who have shown any friendship to-
ward the Americana during the latter's
occupation of the territory. The friend
lies declare that unofending people are
being murdered daily, and that their
houses are being burned and their prop
erty confscated.
Plenty of sympathizers with the insur-
rection remained during the Americana
stay, and they have been reporting these
instances of friendliness toward our
troops. The refugees and the inhabit-
ants 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 magnifed.

there has been some improvement. This
improvement is not specifically signif-

one well-informedbuyer, sis due to the
influence of competition among the
buyers, but the influence must nee
essarily be limited. Buyers are under
orders from the houses they represent to

Major Bells Report.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Major Bell,
of the engineer corps, who was for some
time in charge of the Office of military
information under General Otis COM
mand, has fled report which the war
department has just made public in
connection with the original report of
General Macarthur.
In the report Bell mentioned the task

the Pasig river opposite the American
headquarters at San Pedro Macati of
certain insurgent troops and sharp
shooters. For this purpose he selected
companies M and K of the Washington
volunteers. consisting of 121 men and
five officers. He pays high compliment
to the courageous and soldierly manner
exhibited by Brigade-Surgeon Shields
and Professor Becker, OF tAe geological

mand, and further says that Corporals
Selig, of company M, and Houghtington
of company K, attracted his attention

tion has been received here that satls-
factory results have attended the move
ment among members of the volunteer
regiments in Manila for the establish
ment of large American colony in the

Four thousand of the volunteers now
in the island are reported to have signed

discharges in Manila, instead of at the
places of enlistment, and they be al
lowed trave ell pay to the places of enlist
ment. 1t was explained that they be-

in the development of the mining, agri-
cultural and industrial resources of the
islands,
The petition stated that in the event
of favorable action by the government,

Seems That Grain Men Can Ignore
State inspectors When They
Please.

The fight on the local grain inspector
named for Wellington which was merged
into a boycott last winter, still contin-
ues. Since J. c. F. Horne was ap-
pointed to the position he has inspected
only two cars of wheat. Under the sys-
tenn of placing all the inspections fees
together the inspector is able to draw
his full salary just the same as if he
were working all the time
Now the state inspector, A E. Nc
Kenzie, threatens to make a new rule
requiring the local inspectors to depend
upon the local fees for their salaries
and this has created a storm in Well
ington, but not among the men who are
boycotting Horne. They are laughing
at his discontinue and in the plan sug-
gested by Mckenzie see the undoing of
Horne.
The matter will be appealed to the
governor upon his return to Topeka.

Yellow Fever Makes It's Appearance

Washington. Aug. 15.-Word was re-
ceived at the navy department today
from Commodore Cromwell command
ing the naval station at Havana saying
that a case of yellow fever had ap-
peared among the marines engaged in
guarding government property. The
marine battalion at Havana con-

First Lieutenant J. z. Mahoney. Act
ing Secretary Allen decided as a pre-

marine battalion away from Havana to

as Watchmen with native immunes. The
battalion will be brought to New York
city on the first Ward line steamer
leaving Havana and will be put in
strict quarantine at that port.
