Savage brutality.

New York, May 30.-A special from
Washington says:
Information received here in private let
ters from officers serving in the Philippines
state the Filipinos show no respect TO the
American dead. In one instance an officer
who was on the firing line says he was
shocked to see three bodies of American
soldiers who had been killed in an advance
and were brought to the American lines
badly mutilated. The ears of each of the
corpses had been removed, the noses cut
off and the hearts torn out.
Such mutilation disproves Aguinaldo's
claim that the insurgents are conducting
civilized warfare. The American troops
give the Filipino dead a decent burial and
provide every comfort and medical treat
ment possible for the wounded

NEGR0S ACCEPTS THE TERMS.
Islanders Row to the Rule of the
Americans.

Manila, May 27.-President Lacson and
members of the cabinet of insurrectionists
on the island of Negros have signed and
issued a proclamation fully accepting the
constitution prepared by General Smiths
commission, acting in conjunction with
themselves. The constitution is similar to
that which has been offered to the war
ring Filipinos on the island of Luzon.
The instrument confers on the people the
power of electing executive and judicial
officers and members of legislative branch
es. The proclamation concludes thus:
"We are thus governed by ourselves,
und,r the wise guidance of the great Amer
lean republic To all inhabitants of the
island of Negros is given equality before
the law"
1t is believed that the island will set
tie down peacefully under the new regime.
