SPECIFIC REPLY
OF WORCESTER
TO INQUIRIES
Regarding the Charges OF Private
Brcnncr in Regard to MUIR
dcrous Action
OF The AMERICAN TROOPS.
Two Prisoners We're Shot in Heat
OF Battle for Refusing to
so to the Rear.

CHICAGO. June 29.-Dean C. Wor-
cester. member of the Philippine COM
mission. to-day cabed the Times-Her-
uid denying reports that Filipino pris-
oners were shot by order OF American
officers. This was In response to n cable
Inquiry sent by II. II. Kohlsaat, as fol-
lows:
Worcester, Manila:
Charles Brcnner, Kansas, writes
home: Company bad four prisoners
and did not know what to do with them.
They asked Captain Bishop what to do.
He said. You know ORDERS and four
natives fell dead" Cable the truth.
(Signed) KOHLSAAT.
Commissioner Worcestcrs answer fol-
lows:
MANILA. June 90, 1899.
Editor the Times-Herald, Chicago. ILL.,:
The original statement Of Brenner Is
untrue. Brenner's charge was promptly
investigated by the military authorities
here.
No facts were ascertained to support
the charge at the time of first inquiry.
but the investigation has been renewed
and is being prosecuted thoroughly and
extensively. InlS investigation mas not
yet been completed.
Brenner's charge has some semblnnce
of truth. for the reason that 1t Is now
believed that two prisoners were SHOT
In the heat Of battle for refusing to pass
to the rear when ordered to do so. This
matter is being probed to the bottcm.
1t is an Isolated case.
The inhabitants of the towns recently
captured had been maltreated, robbed
and left destitute by the insurgents.
The natives rejoice at the arrival Of
the American troops. who neither burn
their homes nor loot their property and
who feed the hungry.
The inhabitants are resuming their
ordinary occupations and are ready to
cooperate with US.
The wounded insurgents are brought
to Manila, where they receive the same
care and attention as our own wounded.

Opens Mt Cincinnati Last Night-Fino
Programme Rendered.
CINCINNATI. Ohio, June 29.-Al-
though quite n number Of disappointed
people left the city to-day after the
postponemcnt of each concert twenty
four hours, yet there was q multitude at
the hall before o'clock tonight, and
they were not barred ont this time by
policemen. The entire Interior was
brilliantly Illuminated with arc lights.
An audience that packed the balcony
and almost filed the dress circle and
parquct indicated an attendance OF
much over ten thousand. The chorus
and orchestra numbered over two thou
saEd more.
At S:25. only ten minutes after the
designated time, the applause indicated
the appearance of Louis EhrgOtt, the
musical director, and in the hush that
followed came the opening notes Of
"Bcethovcn's Conservation of the
House" Five minutes later the crash
Of n board In the balcony opposite the
stage. followed by u woman's scream.
started what looked for an instant like
n fearful panic. Fortunately good sense
chestra did not lose Il note and when
quiet was restored applause rewarded
the cool heads thnt had restrained the
thoughtless ones and averted catas-
trophe.
The first vocal work given was the
"Glorla." from Barnaby's "The Lord Is
King" by the Cincinnati reception Choir
us and orchestra. The test of the acoas-
tic qualities Of the new hall In both
the orchestral and the vocal numbers
Indicated success. The closing pnssage
OF Barnby's Gloria 80 thrilled the
audience that salvos or applause were
given. The oratoricnl seemed equally
satisfactory, MS In turn the welcoming
addresses were made In good German
by Mayor Tafcl President Bettman, OF
the locui committee, and the response
by President Dcilcr, OF the North Amer
lean Snengerbund.

ALBANY. N. Y, June Ex-Governor
Roosevelt, who stopped off at this city
late this afternoon for 4 few moments
on his way to New York city from the
west, declared that he Is not a candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
president In 1900. and that he Is In favor
OF the denomination of President Nc
Kinley. In an interview given to the
Associated Press representative at the
station he said:
IL have had an exceedingly good time
and have thoroughly enjoyed myself. I
have been as much touched as sur
prised. have been delighted with the
west.
Everybody in the west is for Nc
Kinley's denomination. and I am most
emphatically for his denomination, of
course. I feel that both the extreme
rapidity with which the country has
gone up the path OF prosperity under
President Mckiniey's administration
and the conduct of the war In the Phil
ipp!nes makes It the duty OF every man
to stand with II and renders President
McKlnlcy's denomination necessity.
We must smash out this insurrection
there by force OF arms and then we can
consider terms of peace"
