Then, pointing pistol at the young man,

BENEVOLENT ASSIMILATION
How the Work is Carried On in the
Philippines.

PHILADELPHIA, June 10.-The North
american (RepuJIicaa,) this morning
says:
Startling, revolving information CON
corning the war in the Philippines has
Just come to light If true, it places an
ignominious brand on the American soldier,
1t holds him up as wanton marauder, a
savage, unmerciful conquerer.
This information is contained in letters
from a Pennsylvania at the front. He is
]. Paul Roberts. of Norristown, member
of CO. H, LIST Washington volunteers.
The letters, from which extracts are
here made, were sent to Frank Duckett,
of Philadelphia. They are dated March
% and %, and tell of events that took
place shortly after the start Of the flying
brigade
KILLED LOTS OF ''NIGGERS.
Here is an extract from the first letter,
dated 20 miles from Manila, March - ;
Il am one Of the scouts. We are
the first to enter the town. Last week we
went up the lake about 20 miles, drove
everything before us and killed lots Of mig
gers. Lots of the natives up this way
never saw a white man before They were
scared to death and got down on their
knees. They were mostly old men, women
and kids. We loot and burn all the towns.
| could have gotten enough stuff to fur
nish half Philadelphia.
Me and another fellow was ordered TO
burn the town. We burnt over 1000
houses I smashed some fine plate glass
mirrors and chandeliers just to hear the
noise. | tell you this war Is fine, and |
likeit if only don get shot. Smashing,
burning and killing Is fine. When you
once ret started in You just get crazy and
do all the damage you can.
KILLED An OLD WOMAN.
The second letter tells how Roberts
killed an old woman The letter says
Il had quite an experience that still
haunts me, although | am pretty well hard
ened now. | was scouting, and was shot
at fro5n ambush | dropped down and lay
still until caught sight Of niger NOV

Then a young girl came and grabbed me
By the les. and had hi Of time

woman also there
Il had my gun against a rock, happen

pointing the gun at me But | quick pull

nado passed over the river after wrecking
a large number Of houses at Emerson. Neb-
and wounding many persons and struck the
edge Of this town.
The Malloy home, large frame house
was carried high in the air and scattered
over the town The bodies Of John Nal
10y, his wife and two ) year-old children,
Harry and Bessie, were found in different
parts of the town The debris from the
house was carried several miles Patrick
Thomas and Richard Mailoy, the three
boys who escaped, are badly hurt and may

by the twister.
The tornado passed diagonally over the

trees. Many farmers houses were de-
stroyed, though no further deaths are re-
ported.
The Malloy family was at dinner when
the funnel-shapped cloud first was seen.
and Dick Malloy told his parents to 90 to
the cellar. He ran to the home of Mrs.
Hassel, across the road, to warn the widow
and her seven children. He took them
10 their cellar and the house was whirled
away, iniuring no one. He had to hold

cellar about FIVE minutes The father
suggested that it was only rainstorm and
they came up. In an instant the house
was demolished
The conductor of freight train saw the
cloud and stopped the train before it got
into the path of the storm. When he
reached the town he held the train long

blown over and an unknown woman was
MORALLY injured.
This is the sixth tornado in this district
this season.

OUININE AND A LAUGH.
What Sick Soldiers at Manila Get
When They Go To Doctors.


From the Baltimore sun of June 10.
A young man from East Baltimore. who
is serving in the ranks of a regiment of
regular infantry at Manila, writes to Messrs
John and Frederick Kip, 1888 Eastern
avenue, letter full of severe criticism of
the military authorities in the Philippine
Islands
Il am half dead from heat and for the
want of proper medical attendance, he
writes. "'Our regiment has been on the
field ever since we have been here, and we
have had a scrap every day or night
Whenever a soldier gets sick with chills or
feyer-and we have plenty of them-or is
overcome by the heat, he goes to the doc
tor, who gives him twenty grains of quinine
laughs at him and tells him to lie down
anywhere When an officer gets sick a
great fuss Is made by the medical men, an
ambulance is Immediately secured and the
officer Is hurried off to a comfortable hos
pital
The conduct Of this war does not suit
me or any of the other fellows. We see
plenty to criticise The troops are always
running into death-traps, and we are losing
men unnecessarily for we must always
drive the insurgents from behind stone
walls and other intrenchments Our
colonel was lost by the regiment going into
a trap. All the troops are complaining.
Our troops blame certain high officers for
the breaking out of the trouble between
the insurgents and our force, Everybody
SAYS it could have been avoided.
''When we are not fighting We are
penned in our quarters like sheep in pen,
not being allowed to 20 anywhere. Last
week our ranking officer cot drunk and
struck his orderly In fact all of the off
Gers were drunk at the same time and raised
a deuce of Il row. On March 30 | wa,

doctor told me to 20 and he down 10 the

THE TEXAS FLOODS
Reports Indicate q Loss Of $1,000
600 in the Bottom Lands.

AUSTIN, TEX, June 9,-The unpre-
cedented flood in the Colorado River and
its tributaries still continues. and reports
of loss of life and great destruction Of crops
and property have reached here from
trustworthy sources today The earlier
reports of the destruetiveness of the high
water have been verified Il is estimated
that the loss of crops alone viii aggregate
over one million dollars The rich san
Saba Valley is devastated The growing
wheat, which was ripe for harvest, was
swept away, and the loss from this source
will reach 500, 900. In some places
cultivated valleys three miles wide are I'M
der water The farmers were unprepared
for the great overflow, it being the first
time in thirty years that the river and It's
tributaries have risen to such height.
The path of the food covers a distance
of 1000 miles of the richest bottom lands
in Texas Almost every foot Of it was in
a high state of cultivation, wheat, cotton,
corn and sugarcane being the principal
products grown. The San Saba River,
which empties into the Colorado north Of
here, played havoc with property along its
whole course A number of houses at the
town of San Saba were in the food and
washed away. Two young women were
drowned and about twenty other persons,
mostly negroes who were living in the bot
toms near the town, are missing. 1t is
feared that a small settlement of negroes
few miles above San Saba was wiped out
as no word has been heard from there
since the flood came Their huts were in
the path of the flood
Communication with other places north
of here, on the San Saba, Colorado and
Llano rivers, is cut off on account Of the
telegraph and telephone wires being down,
and nothing can be learned as to how they
have withstood the torrent of water that
swept down upon them. The full effect
of the flood is just beginning to reach the
more populous country south Of here.
DALLAS, Tex, June "a bridge on
the Texas and Pacific Railroad, l25 miles
west of Dallas, gave way about midnight
last night because of weakening by food
in branch of the Brazos River
Brakeman William Calkins was killed
and Conductor William Bell and Engineer
Robert Craig badly hurt. The train, con-
sisting of oil and general merchandise cars,
was entirely destroyed by fire.
