BEHEADING INSURGENTS.


Fiiipinos Who Talk Peace Are Promptly
DecHpItsted by AguinaIdo.
Manila, March 29.-It is reported on
hitherto reliable authority that Agui-
naldo is taking extreme measures to
suppress efforts calculated to cause a
cessation of hostilities. Twelve adher-
ents OF the plan of independence, resi-
dents of Manila, have been condemned
TO death because they wrote, advising
surrender, and all loyal Filipinos have
been called upon to perform the ma
tional service of dispatching them.
On Friday last General La Garda Wis
tied Las Gordas for the purpose of ad-
vising Aguinaldo to cease hostilities.
He argued with the insurgent leader
and attempted to convince him of the
folly OF his persistence, in the face of
overwhelming odds. Aguinaldo was
furious at the advice and ordered Gen.
eral La Gorda to be executed immedi-
ately. The unfortunate general was
promptly decapitated.

San Francisco, March 2e.-Owing to
the inability of the California legisla-
turc, which has just adjourned, to elect
United States senator to succeed
Stephen M. White, there is much talk
Of an extra session of the Legislature
being called by Governor Gage. The
Republican party leaders look upon
the situation with alarm, and argue
that the failure to elect senator will
result in the election of Democratic
Legislature two years hence, and they
desire an extra session.

WAR WILL SOON END.
Insurgents Are Convinced That 1t Is Useless
to Oppose Uncle Sam.


to Oppose Uncle Sam.
Washington, March 20. = Advices
have been received from Manila which
indicate that the climax may occur at
any hour. The officials here are very
well pleased with the condition of af-
fairs, but will not at present discuss
the details of the dispatches. The in
dications are that hostilities may end
within very short time. President
Mckinley has been SO advised.
The reasons for the belief of General
Otis that climax might come at any
hour were not stated, but his assump-
ton was based on the favorabl reports
he had received from various sources
that the Filipinos were tired Of the
war and Aguinaldo's leadership. 1t is
believed at the war department that
the method in which the Americans
have conducted the fighting has done
much to convince the Filipinos of the
uselessness of trying to drive out the
United States forces. The fighting has
been of different character from that
to which they were accustomed when
the Spaniards were in possession OF
Manila.

MRS. PLACE EXECUTED.


The First Woman to DIE In the Electric
Chair In the State OF New York.
New York, March 22-Mrs Martha
Place was executed at Sing Sing prison
Monday. She was the first woman to
die in the electric chair IN the state of
New York, and she went to her death
! quietly. But two shocks were given
and death was instantaneous. The
voltage OF the current was 1850, and 1t
was continued for four seconds. 1t was
then gradually diminished to 200 volt
age, which was continued for a6 sec
onds. The prison physician then ex-
amined the woman and ordered sec
ond shock, the same as the first in
power and cntinuingthe same length of
time. The second shock has always
been administered at Sing Sing.
Mrs. Place murdered her step-daugh-
ter, Ida NJ. Place, mere girl on Feb
ruary 7, 1898. She first threw vitrol in
the girls eyes and then smothered her.
This was early in the morning in their J
home in Brooklyn. She waited all day
for her husband to return and then at !
tackled him with an ak, fracturing his /
skull and otherwise seriously injuring I
him. Place, however, recovered.
Mrs. Place was convicted and SEN
fenced to death, but she never for
moment believed that she would be
electrocuted. She at first claimed she
could remem Der nothing OF the murder,
and later the plea of insanity was sub
mitted in her behalf, and as last re-
sort Governor Roosevelt was petitioned
to exercise clemency, but the governor
refused to interfere.

Washington March e2.-The follow

war department today:
San Juan de Porto Rico. March e.
Adjutant General, Washington: News
paper reports of conditions here and
reported interviews with me, stating
chances Of uprising, are absolutely
false. There is great deal OF child
ish talk on the part of the ignorant,
but rs to any resistance against law
and order of any kind by the masses 1t
is absurd. There has always been po-
litical agitation here, less now than
ever before. The truth should be
known and the island not be injured
by false statements. HENRY.

Boat to Death Two Aged and Defenseless
Women.
Upper Marlboro, Nd. March 21.-
Mary A. Clark, aged SO, was beaten to
death, and her sister, Annie Clark, aged
As, was fatally beaten last night at
Bowie, Md, village near this place,
by John Berry, a l5-year-old negro boy.
The deed was a ferocious one, the aged
and defenseless woman being surprised
by the boy and literally beaten to q
jelly with club. Miss Annie Clark
saved herself from instant death by
promising to give the boy 500 and
pledging herself not to betray him if
he would spare her life. Berry was
arrested and confessed his guilt. For
fear that he would be lynched he was
taken to Baltimore tonight for safe
keeping.

CHRISTINA, QUEEN REGENT OF SPAIN.

ally the rule is for nation situated as
is Spain to send a special envoy
charged with the duty of exchanging
Publications, but good reason for ac-
cepting again the French ambassadors

the saving of time.
1t is believed here that new Span

Publications, to institute negotiations,
for a treaty of trade, commerce and
amity, the old treaty having been null
lifted by the outbreak of war.
London, March 19.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Standard, after re-
ferring to the ratification by the queen
regent of the treaty of peace between
Spain and the United States, says:

DEADLY CYCLONE.
Many People Killed and Much Property Do

stroyed In Alabama and Mississippi.
Memphis, Tenn, March 20.-A series
of windstorms swept through portions
of Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas
yesterday, doing an immense amount
of property damage and killing a num-
radius of several hundred miles, de-
stroying telegraph wires and cutting
off com munication with large section
of country. Cleburn county, Alabama,
seems to have suffered the most severe
ly, the storm assuming the proportions
of tornado. The reports of fatalaties
in the county vary from six to twenty
and many more are said to be injured
At Sellers and Luverne, Ala, much
damage is reported, and at Rob Roy,
Ark, one man was killed and several
were badly injured. Dumas, Ark, was
nearly wiped out of existence and sew
eral other towns in the vicinity suf-
fered severely. One person is reported
killed atHickory Flat, Miss, and as the
farmhouses in the vicinity suffered
heavily, it is not unlikely many fatal
tiles occurred which have not yet been
reported.
Reports from different points in Ar
kansas, Mississippi and Alabama indi-
cate that in the storms which swept |
over those states eighteen persons were
killed outright and tWentv-One in iured |
as follows:
Alabama, sixteen killed, four injured;
Arkansas, one killed, seven injured; |
one killed, ten injured.
The property loss will run into the
hundreds of thousands.

NAVY'S NEW POWDER.
II Regarded Superior to Any Used by
Foreign Powers.

Washington, March 20.-The navy
department is ready to take the neces-
sarv steps in carrying out the provision
Of the naval bill for the purchase of
smokeless powder during the coming
year The navy has now powder
known to the profession as pyrocellu-
lose, which is equal to, if not better
than any smokeless powder used by
foreign powers. Contrary to reports,
the new powder, which has been test
ed by the navy under service con-
ditions, is not only not injurious
to the guns now in use, but has been
so nicely adjusted to their requirement
that it has increased their efficiency on
an average of 500 second feet.

Track Accidents.

There were several runaways and
smashups on the track at the Fair
Ground during the races yesterday af-
ternoon.
While being warmed for the second
pace, Billy Boy reared in front of the
grand stand and fell over on his driv-
er. The driver was not hurt but one
wheel of the sulky was badly twisted.
Later the same horse threw his driver
out and ran away. In spite of frantic
eIcrts made to stop him he made the
round of the track twice and becoming
tired of the sport, allowed himself to
be caught. His driver then withdrew
him from the race
Corie McGregor also tried the rum
away act but was easily caught.
There were two other small run
aways and collisions, but fortunately
no one was hurt. 1t was surprising
that there was no one injured as the
track in front of the grand stand was
well crowded with spectators during
the entire afternoon.

day evening, ordering the arrest of Ed
Bradford, but on what charge it was
not stated. The message was explain

young girl named Stella Wagner, was
dead at the home of Mr.. Flowers at

was of no avail and the girl died at

not been arrested nor are his where
abouts known to the authorities.

Waste Of NaturaI Gas.

Iexas proposes to stop the waste of
natural gas by a very peculiar law,
passed at the last session OF the Legls-
iature, by prohibiting the use of "fam-
beau" lights for Illuminating purposes.
1t provides that the gas shall be shut
in and confined to'the we'll until and
during such time as 1t is utilized for
light, fuel and power. The provision
does not apply to wells operated ex-
clusively for oil It is further stipu-
lated that gas shall be consumed only
in "Jumbeau" burners, or other burn
ers consuming no more gas than the
"Jumbeau" and that the lights shall be
enclosed in glass globes or lamps.
Furthermore, any one using gas in the
open air, in or around derricks, shall
turn off said gas not later than eight
clock in the morning of each day
such lights are burning or used, and
shall not turn on or relight the same
between the hours of eight O'Clock g.
M, and five o'clock p. m. The penalty
for fairng TO comply with the law is "a
fine of one hundred dollars and the
cost of the suit If the state of Texas
had ever had any knowledge of such
gas strikes as are occasionally made
in the Eastern oil fields, 1T would have
to modify its laws to some extent. 1t
is doubtless a comparatively easy task
to shut in a Texas gas well. Laws for
the prevention of a waste of gas are
no longer necessary in this section of
the country. The lucky owner of big
gas strike is only too anxious to get it
under control as quickly as possible,
and prevent the escape of the valuable
material into the open air--Derrick
