Of chine, was burned at the stake in

Before the torch was applied to the
pyre, the negro was deprived of his
ears, fingers and other portions of his

going on. but stool the ordeal of fire
with surprising fortituuo. Before the
body was cool it was cut to pieuo-. "-~
bones were crushed into small bits,
and even the tree upon which the
wretch met his fate was torn I'D and
disposed of as souvenirs. The negro
was cnt in several pieces, as was also
his liver. Those unable to obtain the,

Sharp Engagement.
REBELS DRIVEN FROMATRENCH

Regiment. killed While Leading

Manila, April 25.-Four men OF the
Nebraska regiment, including Colonel
Stotsenburg, Lieutenant Sisson. and
three men of the Fourth cavalry, were
killed, and "A wounded in an engage
ment at Quingua. The Filipinos re-
treated with small loss.
The engagement developed into a dis
astrous, though successful, fight. The
insurgents had horseshoe trench,
about mile long, encircling rice field
on the edge OF a wood.
Major Bell. with 20 cavalrymen, en-
counterod strong outpost. One OF his
men was killed and five were wounded
by volley. The Americans retired,
carving their wounded under fire and
with great difficulty, being closely pur-
sued, fog enabling the enemy to creep
up to them. Two men who were carry
ing comrade were shot in She arms,
hut they continued with their burden.
Major Bell sent for reinforcements
to rescue the body of the killed cavalry
man, and battalion of the Nebraska
regiment, under Major milford, ar
rived and advanced until checked by
volleys from the enemy's trenches.
The Americans lay about 500 yards
from the trenches behind rice burrows
under fire, for two hours. Several
men were sunstruck, one dying from
the effects of the heat as they lay there
waiting for the artillery to come up.
Finally the second battalion arrived,
and then Colonel Stotsenburg, who had
spent the night with his father ut Ma
Mia. came upon the field. The men
Immediately recognized him and
raised cheer. Colonel Stotsenburg,
deciding to charge as the cheapest way
out OF the difficulty, led the attack at
the head of his regiment. He fell
with bullet in the breast, dying in
stantly, about 200 yards from the
breastwOrk.
Lieutenant Sisson fell with a bullet
in his heart. the bullet striking him
near the picture of girl. suspended
by a ribbon from h is neck.
In the meantime the artillery had
arrived and shelled the trenches. The
Filipinos stood until the Nebraska
troops were right on the trenches, and
lutu iuey boltcu ~ tne stCOIu llle OA
the trenches, Il mile back.
The Nebraska regiment lost two phi
Yates and had many wounded, includ-
ing two leutenants. The Iowa regi-
ment had several wounded. The Utah
regiment had one officer and three men
wounded. Thirteen dead Filipinos
we're found in the trenches. Their loss
was comparatively small on account Of
their safe shelter.
The Americans carried the second
trench with small loss, and are holding
the town tonight.
Colonel Stotsenburg had won repu-
tation AS one of the bravest fighters in
the army. He always led his regiment
and had achieved remarkable popular
ity with his men since the war began,
| although, during his first colonelcy.
the volunteers who were not used to
the rigid discipline of the regular
troops thought him hard officer. The
loss OF the Nebraska regiment in the
cam paign is the greatest sustained by
any regiment, and today's disaster has
greatly saddened officers and men, who
promise to take fierce vengeance in the
next fight.

by Il jury TO be not guilty of the charge
of onspiracy to use for his own unlaw-
ful profit funds of the state deposited
in the Peoples bank OF this city.
The court officers were unable to
keep back the struggling crowd that
pressed forward to congratulate Quay,
when the verdict OF the jury was an
nOunced. A soon as Quay could get
away from those anxious to shake his
hand and congratulate him, he made
his way to the elevator to descend to
the street from the sixth floor of the
municipal building. Here the scenes
lust enacted in the courtroom were re-
peated. Enthusiasts rushed forward
and attempted to hoist him on their
shoulders, but he waved them back,
saving ''Oh. no; I'm too old a man for
that.
Quay walked with his friends to the
office of his counsel, where lie made
his escape from the crowd.

The old line insurance companies
which have been closed out by the
Rector antitrust law did perhaps
95 per cent of the business of the
state. 1t is claimed by persons who
know nothing about the question
that the people of the state are
abuudantly able to start companies
which, with home capital, will do
all the business of the state. We
had one fire insurance company,
the Arkansas, which did a consider
able amount of business a few years
ago. But it lacked capital to com
pete with the old companies and
there was always apprehension lest
large fire should wipe it out. So,
after an experience of ten or twelve
years, it went out of business. Had
the business been safe and profita-
bic the company would have contin'
ued. 1t takes millions to do safe
insurance business. Arkansas Dem

The justice of the peace on the
West Side will take testimony tc.
morrow in the cases of late arrests
for cattle thefts in Bowie county.
We learn the evidence so far is all
locked up in Ben Jones, one eyed
negro, who has been employed
about here to look up cattle and
break wild horses, and he has made
a confession of his own stealing inn
plicating a lot Of white men, whom
heretofor and now as we learn a
breath of suspicion has never whis-
pered against them. If we we're
on the bench, We hardly think that
we would hold a white man on a
negro's testimony unless it was
backed up by testimony more reh-
able. We are personally acquaint-
ed with the three white defendants
in these cases-Messrs Hobgood,
Easley and Sutton, and it would be
hard to believe they would 90 in

CONFERENCE OF GOVERNORS.

Governor Sayers of Texas has de-
clared his intention of calling a
conference of the governors and
attorney generals of all the states
for the purpose of consulting upon
a concert of legislation to put down
the trust evil.
Austin or Dallas is expected to
be the place at which the confer
ence will be held, and Jnne 10, the
time.
Governor Savers is an earnest
and consistent antagonist of mon
opoly and the sentiments of his
state is in hearty accord with him.
His attitude ard intention are set
forth in the following statement to
a Republic correspondent:
II want trusts destroyed in the
interest of legitimate business and
the public welfare. When the
Texas legislature passes the law
now before it, or enc approximate
ly similar, will then call the con-
ference of governors with a view of
inaugurating definite policy by
the states based ON uniformity of
legislation.
The practical wisdom of the plan
proposed is obvious, 1t is calcu-
lated to organize a uniform stand
ard of repressive legislation in all
the states and thereby make the
crushing of trusts both comprehen-
sive aud etfective.-St. Louis Re
