Enemy On the Run.

Our infantry boys soon had them on
the run. 1t was a pretty sight to see
our boys charging upon them while
they were running through the woods
in all directions.
Fort Macarthur is just few wards
from the railroad track. After watch
ing the infantry advance for d few MIN
utes we received orders TO load two OF
our guns on the train. 1t was quite a
job. for we had to roll the guns up
planks on fiatcars. AS soon as they
were loaded we started out. 1t seemed
as if we were going home to be on the
railroad once more. We caught up
with the infantry two miles out. We
were on high piece of ground, where
the enemy could get a good shot at
US. We were on the south side of the
Malabon river, and the natives on the
north side. They were in trenches from
ten to twenty feet thick, and when they
saw the engine pull up with our two
guns how they did pour it into us, We
got our guns off and into action in a
very few minutes Then their bullets
didn't come quite so quickly.
One Man Wounded.
I'VE only had one man wounded then,
but that was one too many. He was
shot through the thigh, shattering the
bone. He was sent into Manila on the
train. We shelled the natives trenches
all afternoon. We laid low as possible
at night, and when morning came our
old Betsies were talking once more, and
at 10 o'clock we had them on the run.
But We could not advance any farther,
for all the rails and ties were torn up
from the bridge that crosses the river.
But two of the Sixth artillery guns
and two battery 3 guns crossed the
river farther east with mules, and they
took up the chase. We stayed till the
next day, when we returned to Fort
Macarthur, where we now are.
Since the trouble started here with
the natives, eight of the Utah boys
have been wounded and three killed.
/ have received a scratch, but that is
all. A bullet just came close enough
to leave a mark across my leg. above
the knee. 1t stung for a minute or
two. thought it went clear through.
"A great many of the boys here have
lost the use of their limbs for a while.
and great many Will never see good
old America again.

Brother Fired the Shots.
.'I was some distance ahead of my
brother, so that could not see what
he was doing, but he fired one shot as
he wheeled around, and then another.
Just as he fired the second shot he fell
over toward the south on his face. and
Just on the east side of boulder about
three feet thick and of the same height.
l swung myself down around the west
side of 1t to get out of range of the
shots.
Il held up one hand and they shot at
1T twice, and the bullets hit the stone in
front of me. When they stopped firing
held the hand up again and they yelled
for me to throw up both hands and
come, which l did. AS I fell down
flung my, revolver-the white-handled
one-on the ground, and my hat fell
over it. That was the position when
the officers came UP.
Sheriff Gordon asked me which was
my gun, and 1 pointed to the white
handled pistol. The officers were so ex-
cited they didn't seem to know Just
what they We're doing.
My brother was lying on the other
side of the rock, and the dark-colored
gun was near MS ndnd, just where IL
had dropped when he fell. There were
two empty cartridges in it, but my gun
was not fired at all. Now, l did not
shoot Captain Brown. nor fire shot
My brother either shot him before he
was struck. or kept up long enough af-
ter the bullet hit him to fire back and
kill the officer
Where have you been during the
past few months?' was asked.
I'VE went to Seattle from California
about three months ago, and remained
there about one month. My brother
was somewhat of a veterinary surgeon
and he made enough to keep us. He
worked about private stables. He kept
me and his wife and child. She is now
over in British Columbia. We started
in this direction over the Northern Pa
cific about two months ago, travelling
the best way we could. Our trip was
down to Wallula Junction, in Washing
ton, and then on the o. r. & n. and
Short Line to Pocatello. where we re-
manned until We started for Salt Lake
and robbed Hanson on the way.
IF l had gone and reported at Fol-
som prison on April l, as 1 should have
done, I wouldn't have been in this
trouble"

CHIcAGo's NEW MYSTERY.
Another Snusnge Maker Suspected
of killing His wife.

Chicago. Feb. 25.-on suspicion of hay-
ing murdered his wife, Theresa, for the
purpose Of marrying a younger woman,
Albert August Becker, an expert sausage
maker, living at 5017 Rockwell Street. is
under arrest Circumstantial evidence
gathered by the police is of 4 very dam
aging nature. Although the woman's body
cannot be found by the police, they are
led to the belief, b. the evidence secured
that she has been murdered. Coniradic-
tory statements made by the prisoner and
blood spots on the walls and floors of a
barn in the rear of Becker's residence tend
to strengthen this belief.
The matter was brought TO the atten-
tion of the police by neghbors, and tine
statements of these with other evidence
have resulted in the arrest of Becker.
Becker was married TO the missing woman
eight years ago. Six months ago he began
courting a seventeen year-old girl-Ida
Sutherlin, the daughter Of a saloonkeeper,
living in Forty-fifth Street He recently
won the girls consent to a marriage. \
few days after that his wife disappeared
and he at once married the saloonkeeper's S
daughter.
Becker tells strange story of his wife's
disappearance Ee says Scotchman
known to him as Mike" turned up and
claimed Mrs. Becker as his wife. Mike,
he AYERS. took her away and the last he
saw of them was at the Goodrich dock,
when they started by boat for Milwaukee.
This, he alleged. is the reason he did not
ask for a divorce, as he thought the fact
Of her having another husband left him
free. A sister of the missing wife, living
in Milwaukee. telegraphed the police that
she had heard nothing from Mrs. Becker
since January q, although previously she
had heard from her every week. All of
Mrs. Becker's clothing. except one dress,
was found in Beckers home.
Becker is thirty-three years old. He
was born in Mecklenburg, Germany, and
has been employed in the Armour and Mel
son & Morris packing houses for several
years.

CAPTURED IN HAMBURG.
An Alleged Dinmond Thief Who
Fled From This CITY,

Fled From This City.
a letter received by the Consul General
of Germany in New York, dated Hamburg
last month, and which was forwarded to
the police of this city, reveals the fact that
John j. Collins. an alleged expert diamond
thief arrested in this city in November
has again been arrested by the Hamburg
authorities.
Collins was arrested here on November
lS by Detective Horne, who had watched
the mans movements for some time. He
was taken into custody oa suspicion of be-
ing guilty of thefts committed from Moore
d LedinS and K. Harris & Co. His guilt
ior these offences was conceded by the DO
lice authorities at that time but when his
case was called for trial it was discovered
that he had forfeited bail, which had been
furnished at the time of his arraignment.
The information from the German Con-
SUI shows that Collins. after leaving this
city. went to New York and embarked on
the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
bound for Hamburg. 1t develops that he
left the steamer at the first English port
and went TO London. where he worked the
same game that had caused his arrest in
Washington He was apprehended there by
the Scotland Yard detectives about Janu-
airy /. 1t seems that he had secured his re-
lease and then proceeded to Hamburg. his
original destination.
While in Germany Collins was arrested
under the name of Carl Wissenfels. claim
ing Berlin as his birthplace. The police
there are OF the opinion that they have ap-
pretended a member of clever gang of
swindlers. who have been working the
whole of Europe.

OUR DEBT TO THE FILRlNos.
Senator Gray Points EloGnentIy to
Civilizafion's Sacrifice


New York, Feb. 25.-The Peace Com
missioners had been invited to attend the
annual dinner of the Ohio Society. given in
the Waldorf Astoria tonight. and Senator
Gray and Whitelaw Reid presented them
selves. More than two hundred guests
sat down TO the dinner. The chief speech
of the evening was delivered by Senator
Gray, the Democratic member of the Peace
Commission. who strongly advocated hold
ing the Philippines. Senator Gray said:
There may have been grave doubts as
TO whether we should acquire the Philip
pines at all-whether it were best that
we should extend our rule outside This
hemisphere; but there came time in
Paris when, after five weeks of anxiety
and uncertainty, those negotiations must
have been broken off and the United States
compelled to seize Spain's territory by the
ruthless hand of war. or, by an agreement
commensurate TO the magnaninity of cur
country, acquire those lands by fair pur-
chase from a fallen enemy. 1t seemed
wisest and best to be generous TO the
enemy in his day of distress and the mat
ter was so arranged.
This being so, l could form no other
opinion on the matter than that we must
acquire the islands and hold them in trust
for the peoples who have never known
law and equity. fApplause.l How idle
must seem the arguments of those who
pointing TO the Declaration of Independ-
ence, declare that there can be no just
government without the consent OF the
governed. What would the consent of the
governed amount to in this case? Do we
not know that it would be impossible for
those people, who for four hundred years
have known no government but that OF
Spain, to realize what liberty means?
we cannot steal away from those ISL
ands now. Whatever we might have done
in October or November, We cannot now
leave them TO the first grasping European
power that comes along 10 take them under
its flag. There is 10 going back now.
This is not the time to stop. We've got
those islands. We've got 'em bad, Laugh
teri and we're going TO live through 1t
with or without foreign interference. We
are going ahead, and in so doing We may
let the consequences take care OF them
selves. Our conduct in the end can bring
nothing but blessings TO the Filipinos such
as they have never even hoped for in the
centuries past. If it cost US blood and
treasure. that is the sacrifice due from
higher civilization to lower. II the Fill
pinos are not capable OF self lf-government
We must remain in the islands until they
become so. We have Griven out Spain
from the Philippines. We shall drive out
anarchy and barbarism, too"

THE PoPE's ENCYcLIcAL.
Archbishop Irelnnd's Letter o
Thanks to the PontiG

New York, Feb. 25.-The Journal" this
morning publishes the following from
Rome:
A letter from Archbishop Ireland to
Pope Leo XIII. regarding the Pontif' S
encyclical on 'Americanism." is publish
ed in synopsis in the "Ossereatore Ro-
mano" today:
The spirit of the letter demonstrate:
that Archbishop Ireland is in full accord
with His Holiness on matters pertaining
TO church and state
The Archbishop begins by thanking the
Pope for his proof of esteem and love fot
American Catholics. He says that the
Papal letter has shed much light on the
situation, and that now misunderstanding
will cease, for we are now able to deter
mine the fault which some desire to con-
ceal under the name of Americanism and
define true Americanism, such as under
stood by Americans"
The Archbishop in his letter tries 10
make it explicit that the church of the
United States is not threatened by schism.
He says:
The distinctions and explanations contained in
ilc apostolic letter are SO clear and concise that
the peril which was not understood by all the
people of the United States but which / thought
Was 10 be feared, can longer present itself.
In view Of the extraordinary confusion Of ideas
and controversies raised, especially in France by
the Life OF Father Hecker' there was need for
the Supreme Pontif TO make clear his voice in
order 10 enlighten and tranquilize the people
minds
With all the energy OF my soul, / repudiat 2
all the opinions the apostolic letter repudiatcs
and condemns-''those false and dangerous opin.

cannot but be indignant that such wrong is done

to designate by the name OF Americlnism such

Archbishop Ireland concludes with beg
ging the Pope to accept his assurances of
love and devotion and to give him the
apostolic blessing.

Impressions Concerning the PoPc's
Letter TO Cardinal Gibbons.

Rome, Feb. 25.-Despite Archbishop Ire
lands cordial letter TO the Pope, published
here yesterday, in which he assures the
Pope OF complete concurrence in his decis-
ions on "Heckerism' and Americanism
there is growing feeling that the Pope's
letter TO Cardinal Gibbons is unsatisfac-
tory.
Ii is thought pity that the Pope should
have sent the letter without waiting for
the arrival of Archbishop ireland in Rome
rs the chief testimony previously has been
misleading French translations of Father
Heckers book, which have wrongly ascrib-
ed TO the American priest statements con-
demning the passive virutes OF monastlc
orders" To such the Pope naturally took
strong exception.
New explanations will probably be forth
coming in the controversy, perhaps reopen
ing the whole question
