FILIPINO BUTCHERS.
TERRIBLE TORTURE INFLICTED
UPON CAPTURED SOLDIERS.
Tongues and Hearts of the Men Cut Out
Ears and Nose Removed and Limbs
Hacked to Pieces

New York. May 31-A letter received
in Paterson, y. j., from Alexander
Culross. now in the Fourth infantry,
in the Philippines, tells of fortunes in
flieted upon captured Americans by the
Filipinos.
Two of our men" says Culross,
''strayed from the camp yesterday and
did not return. Later we found them
in the woods. Their foreheads were
slashed in the form of cross, the
skulls being split. The tongues and
hearts of the men had been cut out and
their legs hacked to pieces.
1.-The boys of the Fourth infantry
have resolved to give no quarter here
after, for they have reached the con-
clusion that everyone else will soon
reach-that the only good Filipino is a
dead Filipino. They cannot fight in the
open, but steal on us at night, and
pick off our men. They seem to be
better shots at night than in the day
light"

Wreck . Bridge and Several Cars
None of the Passengers Were
RIoIested by Robbers.

Cheyenne, Wyo., June Just before
daylight Friday morning, in the midst
of drenching rain, the Union Pacific
west bound passenger train was held
up, about a mile from Wilcox.
The robbers blew up the express car
with dynamite, severely wounding the
engineer, and then escaped TO the noun
tains. According to the officials of the
express company, the robbers obtained
only a nominal reward for their daring
crime. A posse, under command Of the
sheriff of Carbon county, is in pursuit,
and the officers are confident of cap-
turing them The bandits, six in num-
Der, are beff ed to be members of the
"Hole-in-theNall" gang.
The train was the wcstbound passen-
ger, also carrying mail and express. 1t
was running in two sections, the first
section being the one held up. This
section consisted of two mail cars,
baggage car filled with overland mail,
an express car and two well-filled pas
senger coaches.
This section was due at Wilcox, at
200 a. m but IL was a little late. 1t
had passed Wilcox and was tagged by
a red light between Wilcox and Aurora
at 2:is. Ii was at point 1913 miles
cast of Ogden, or 1872 miles west of
Cheyenne.
AS the train reached the bridge one
of the robbers crawled into the cab
and at the point of gun ordered En-
gineer Jones to pull across the bridge
and stop. Meanwhile, the others of
the gang were at work in the express
car. just as the engine pulled off the
bridge there was tremendous explo-
sion that scattered the express car for
a hundred feet in every direction. The
end of the mail car was blown in and
several stringers knocked out Of the
bridge. Engineer Jones was slightly
injured by flying debris
1t only required a few minutes for
the robbers to rifle the safe, which was
blown open by the explosion. They
took its contents, signalled their con-
federates on the engine, and before
the passengers and the train crew
were aware of just what had happened
were off for the mountains. 1t re-
quired two hours to clear away the
wreck so that the train could proceed
to Medicine Bow, the next station,
from which the report was sent
The passengers were not molested by
the bandits, and the only person in
iured was the engineer.
A reward of s., 900 each for the arrest
of the robbers, dead or alive, has been
offered by the express company

AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS WILL
MAKE HOMES IN PHILIPPINES.
-Four thousand of the Boys in FIue Wish
TO Remain Among the Followers
of Aguinaldo After Peace
Has Been Restored.

New York June "A special from
Manila says:
Information has been received here
that satisfactory results have attended
the movement among members of the
volunteer regiments in Manila for the
establishment OF large American
colony in the Philippines.
Four thousand of the volunteers
now in the island are reported to have
signed petition TO the president and
secretary OF war praying they receive
their discharges in Manila, instead Of
at the places of enlistment, and they
be allowed travel pay to the places Of
enlistment. 1t was explained that
they believed the Philippine islands
"offered rare opportunities for indus
trious and enterprising Americans to
make for themselves homes, and that
they desired to remain, "for the pur-
pose of taking part in the development
of the mining, agricultural and indus
trial resources Of the islands"
The petition stated that in the event
of favorable action by the government
those signing it pledged their united
support in unfolding the laws and
protecting the interests of the United
States there and would, if so desired,
become members of a national guard
or some such other organization as
might be necessary for the best pro-
lection of American interests in the
PHILIPPINES.

failed to work, and young Twiss, the
balloon and the parachute tumbled to

Luckily, the young @ronaut and his

American Dead MutiIated.

Washington, May 31.-Information
received here in private lerters 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 bod
les of American soldiers who had been
killed in an advance and were brought
within the American lines, badly mu-
tilated. The ears of each of the corpses
had been removed, the noses cut off
and the hearts torn out. Such mutila-
ton disproves Aguinaldo's claim that
the insurgents are conducting a civil
ized warfare. The American troops
give the Philippine dead a decent bur-
ial and provide every comfort and
medical treatment possible for the
wounded

HONOR DEAD m MANILA.
Memorial Day is Observed by the American
Soldiers,


Manila, June Memorial day was
celebrated at Battery Knoll, where
SCOTS guns were planted against the
Filipino trenches in the first days
fighting at Manila. Nearly 300 sol
diers lie buried there on a bleak
mound, surrounded by rice fields,
rough boards marking the graves,
which are ranged in five unbroken
rows. Beyond these are Spanish
blockhouses and bamboo hedges,
which were mown by shells from the
American guns.
The few soldiers who could be spared
from the trenches came to Battery
Knoll, dusty and bronzed, bearing
flowers with which to strew their
comrades graves. A silk flag was
placed above each grave.
just as the Sixth artillery band be-
gan dirge the thunder of Monad-
Dock's guns ceased, while the taps
sounded from the bugle.
Charles DENLY of the United States
Philippine commission presided at the
exercises. He spoke briefly of the pc
culiar solemnity of the day to Manila.
The chaplain of the British cruiser
Powerful made an invocation. Chap
lain Pierce of the Twenty-third in

hymns. After taps had been sounded

The war in the Philippines is by no

are works of military engineering and
construction, equal to the best the most
civilized military nations have pro-
cured. Under the Spanish regimes the
Filipino learned something of war, and
we are receiving evidence of this every
day.
1.-The volunteers who fought in the
Philippines are splendid lot of men,
capable and accomplished fighters.
They behaved like veterans when un-

courage. Their record in that awful
country will ado-n pages of American

official circles that the British govern
