Terre Haute, Ind, April 1s.-A sen
cation has been caused by letter from
Private Charles W. Sm1.h, Of Battery
K. Third United States Artillery, who
writes to his parents in this city from
Manila under date flIarch Z.
"There were about fifteen Filipino
prisoners digging graves a few days
ago, and the Tennessee boys, who were
guarding them, made them dig hole
then put all the prisoners in line and
threw them in the hole, covering them
up. When they cane back they were
asked by the commanding officer where
their prisoners were. They said they
planted every id Que of them,and
said they would like to have about
thirty more to do the same way with.
There has not been anything said or
done to the boys yet for it.
"The Thirteenth Minnesota are do
ing provost guard duty over the city
they don't do thing but shoot every
once in while Then they call cart

RETURN 70 Us OUR SONS"

Lincoln, Neb., April 13-An address
to President Mckinley by relatives and
friends Of members OF the First Neb-
rsska Regiment, which is serving in
the Philippines, was made ubic to-
day. The initiative wa tax / 1t tue
town Of Beatrice, whore Company G.

adopted has been Endorsed at tle hom -
of many of the remaining companies.
The address recites the patriotism
with which the Nebraska men have
given themselves to uphold the conn
rvs glory i'll the war with Spain, the
bardships and plivations they endur d,
and continues:
"But now that our sons have COM
pleted their duty to it's fullest measure,
their right to return to the United
tates and to receive an honorable DIS
charge is beyond technical cayil or con
,truction of ambiguous laws. We de-
mand their return now, becaue we
deny the right to conpel them TO re-
main longer in the Phi ipp n to d
police and garrison duty.
"Their valor and the sympathies OF
their relatives have already been the
prey of political sycopatbies and
sophistry from all parties, much to the
disgust and indignation. They have
been refused the meagre compliment
Of official recognition for their bravery
by the Executive Legislature Of tnei,
own State. They have been male the
shuttlecock Of political sophylstry cr

Notwithstanding all this the boyi
OF the First Nebraska have dignifedly

Nearly everybody you meet will re.
gard it as a kind Of insult TO be asked
Il they have weak lungs. All seem TO-
have a solid faith in the soundness OF
their own breathing machine. In cases
OF trouble they will admit there IS a
"heavy cold" "a touch Of bronchitis
or even "a spell OF asthma" but as to
weak or unsound lungs, never. NEVER.
Even the poor consumptive, who scarce
" speaks without coughing, whose
cheeks are wasted, hollow and bear the
hectic flush Of doom, will assure you
with glistening eyes that his cold is on
the mend and he will be all right when
the weather changes.
1t is simply terrible to think how lar
we may be guilty by our indifference to
the lung troubles Of those near and dear
to us. 1t is also a sad thought that we
may hug delusion as to Our own health
that we only get rid OF when life itself
must pay the forfeit.
Nobody can afford 10 think lightly
of lung troubles. Nobody can afford to
be mistaken about their possible dan
gers. Nobody can afford TO neglect
them. or "let them wear out" or get
better in the spring." or any other tom,

DEMANDS RETURN OF TROOPS

has written to President Mckinley, de-
nanding che return Of the South Da'
kota volunteers from the Philippines
He recites the fac IS OF enlistment to
fight for humanity against Spain, de-
cIares that "the South Dakota velnn-
teers have fulfilled every obligation
which they owe TO their country and its
flag" and should be allowed 10 return
home He says:
eve view their present or future re-
tention as unconstitutional and a vio-
lation Of the law, which called the or
ganization into being and feel sure
they will not be retained against the
law, aud against the moral sense of the
people of our State without offering
some sound reason for so doing"
He:declares the present course Gre
|pugnsnt to the Fundamental principles
I OF this government, violation OF tie
Declaration of Independence, a repu-
diation of the theory upon which We
engaged in war with Spain, and utter
~ inconsistent with your excellency's
splendidlannouncement respecting the
policy to be pursued toward Cuba"
He says the people are unable t.
couutenanc the present attempt Of
this government to enforce title with
bayonets to nation Of brown men,
purchased from disgrace and van
pushed despot, and regarl lhe fnrth r
sacrifice of our soldiers; in 1 conflict
waged against liberty and il the inter
est Of exploiting capitalism, az totally
incompatible with the spirit OF our in

The Philippine war has only just
commenced. An army of $4,000 men
will only be able to keep up a little
