FILIPINO %CRUELTIES.
Bodies OF American soidiers Mutilated
by Aguinaido's Followers.


PATTERSON, N. j., May 3O.-A letter
from Alexander Culross, now in the
Fourth infantry, in the Philippines,
tells Of fortunes inflicted upon cap.
tured Americans by the F%lipinos.
Two OF our men," says Culross.
''strayed from the camp yesterday and
did not return. To-day we found
them in the woods. Their f~oreheads
were slashed in the form of u cross,
the skulls being split. The tongues
and hearts of the men had been cut
ont and their legs hacked to pieces.
The boys OF the Fourth infantry have
resolved to give no quarter hereafter,
for they have reached the conclusion
that everyone else will soon reach
that the only good Filipino is n 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"
WAsmsaToS, May 2o.-Informatior
received here in private letters from
officers serving in the Philippines state
that the Flipinos show no respect to
the American dead. In one instance
an officer who was on the firing line
says he was shocked to sec three
bodies of American soldiers who had
been killed in an advance and which
were brought within the American
lines badly mutilated. The ears Of
each of the corpscs had been removed,
the noses cut off and the hearts torn
out.
The American troops give the Phil
ippine dead a dsc,nt burial and pro-
vide every comfort and afford the best
medical treatment possible to the
wounded.
