MURDER EXCITED TROOPS
General Sumner cauSo1 Arrest of
 SixtY Minnesota Soldiers.

Augusta, Ga, Feb. 11.-This was a day Of wild excitement and alarm in Augusta. The trouble all arose over
 the killing of Dennis O'Connel. of Company F, Fifteenth Minnesota. by
 Brown Hadley, a barheecer. The difficulty began over prCfane language used in the hearing Of Hadley's wife, who was in 2 room adjoining the bar.
 About a hundred of the Minnesota
 men made plans for the capture Of the murderer. They had TO Ean oar- tridges for their rifles, but going to the Tegimental cOnmissary stcre they took the packages and broke open the am
 intuition cases and each man took
 about fifty rounds Of ammunition. and
 then getting his rife, he was away.
 The news spread like a prairie fire
 over the camp, and as soon as it reached the ears of Gen. s. s. Sumner, the commander of the First division.
 he ordered out the Third cavalry, Tenth Ohio and Thirty-ffth Michigan regiments. The men were deployed as slzirmishers, and the woods in the vicinity of the camp were secured most thorough ly
 It was some time before the men who were breaking away could be found, and gradually they were come upon, and about 10:2O Troop A. un- der command of Lieut.. Hawkins, found the entire lot, about sixty men, armed and with fifty rounds of ammunition. They were in the woods in the rear of the First division hospital When they were captured they were taken to the First division headqual ters and put under guard.
 Gen. Sumner issued orders that all passes issued should be confiscated and no more issued. The ringleade,s were put in irons. The military au- thorities refuse to give the names of the men under arrest. Brown HadIsy | gave himself up to the authorities some distance from tie city, where he had taken refuge He was tax Il aboard the night train for Atlantl, where he will be confined in Fulton county jail until his trial can be ar ranged for.

vigorously protest against Governor General Brooke's order The su- preme court judges will probably make an effort to secure the continu- ance of their former salaries. The American clerks in the departments say that the cost of living here makes the reduction especially hard. The order is the result of Gen. BrooIe's re : cent request for the salary lists of the province, and the salaries now to be paid will very likely furnish the basis of all the ofticual salaries in the island.
 Gen Leonard Wood, military com mander of this department, has re- turned from Washington by way Of Havana. He arrived day earlier than he was expected, and the demonst a. ton that was planned for his arrival was prevented

Denver, Colo, Feb. 11.-There was 10 improvement today in the condi- tiens on the railroads trave1sing the mountains in this state. Snow con- tinued falling in the vicinity of Lead vile. this being the nineteenth day Of the storm, and it also showed gen. orally today east of the range.
 Crave anxiety is expressed for the towns and camps on the high line of the South Park road This division Of the road has heen abandoned since early in the week, when q supply tra I afte- several days of work behind rotary snow plCw, managed to take food to BIeckinridge, Dickey and other paints between Breckinridge and Ko- komo. This supply was too little ta last and the situation is growing des- perate.
 No attempt will be made to open the high line until the storm clears and crust forms on the immense snow banks sufficient to hold them from sliding down and hurying the track, perchance with death and de- straction following in their wake In the meantime the provisions obtain able have readily disappeared
 Again, the dispatches say, breakfast food is being fed to horses and stock. Another week and the snow walled camps and towns will be on the verge of starvation. If nothing is done CT the railroads, snow shoe relief parties will star5 out from Laadville, the near est large point, hauling toboggans loaded with provisions.

LEARNED THEIR LESSON WE'LL
Filipino Junta at Hong Kong Issues Staten ent Worthy of WeyIer.

Hong Kong, Feb. 1.-The Filipino junta has posted the following state ment: ''The Manila steamer has ar rived here with American censor3lip giving a version Of the recent fight which is utterly false. The Americans commenced bombarding heavily and by the treachery Of General o is. Aguinaldo possesses a signed guar antee from the American commis sioners that there would be no hos tility on their part. Hence the Filipino troops were resting and many of the Filipino officers were at the tneataT Saturday night, and were arrested shortly before the outbreak. The bombardment of the defense ess towns of Malate. Paco, Santa Ana and MaIa- bon caused frightful slaughter among the women and children. It is ezti- mated that 4.00O of them were killed.
 The Filipino troops, whose less w. comparatively small, tenaciously held their positions. The conduct of the Americans in the suburbs was cut raseous. They compelled the inhabi tants to leave their houses and then shot them down regardless Of sex. There is a reign of terror at Mania. Civilians are shot in the streets with out being challenged. The Iloilo con- nlissioners arrived at Manila at the in NtatiOn of the Americans and when they were starting to return the Amer jean soldiers were Iooting and piIIag- ing.
 "Aguinaldo sent the commissioners to inquire of General Otis the 1esson for hOstilities, offering summary pun ishment if the Filipinos were found to be at fault. He received no sat5sfac- tion. The Americans are appar5 5ntIy determined on a war Of exta~nina- tion, similar to their doing5 in the Car olinas in November, violating tkc rights of'mankind and of the civilized warfare and committing a morstrCUs outrage on civilization. There IS no doubt that the action of General Otis was a political move to influence the vote of the United States sena-e fear

 Otis Forces.
IMPORTANCE OF RAILROAD
Possible That Troops Can Be Hd- VanCed Over inc Line Quickly Enough 10 Effect inc Capture of AguinaIdO-TheH Hong hoNg Junta issues a Manifesto Worthy of Their Spanish Teachers.

Washington, Feb. 11.-General Otis had another victory to record this morning and though the action before Caloocan did not result in as heavy loss to the American side as the battle of last Saturday night and Sunday morning, it is believed to have quite as important results.
 Caloocan is on the line of the rail- road connecting Manila with MalOlos, the insurgents capital and it may be that the capture of the first named town will make it possible to advance rapidly by rail upon the insurgent headquarters if it shall be deemed nee essary to force the fighting and under take the capture of AguinaldO.
 Officials here were encouraged today by General Otis quotation of the opinion of credible persons, Filip-ncs it is understood, to the effect that Aguinaldo no longer has power to keep the insurgents under his lead, as this points to an early submission of the insurgents to the American gov ernment None will be allowed to come into Manila, however, until they have laid down their arms for good.
 As for AguinaldO it is now believed that he will refuse to the last to make terms that would meet with the ap- the insurrection falls through he will make his escape to the continent rather than remain in Luzcn.
