WHY COL. METCALF SHOT PRISONER.
Latter Was About to stab Him at the
Time.

A dispatch from Springfield. Mo. yester-
day says. c. L. Grogan, late of Company
l.. Goth Kansas, says, concerning the al
legged killing of a supplicating, unarmed
Filipino by Col. Metcalf. that he is sur
prised by the statement made by Callahan
who was his lieutenant. Grogan says Cal
lahan and Hall were five companies back
from Metcalf at the time of the killing and
could know nothing of the matter from
their personal knowledge.
Grogan says he and five other privates
We're detailed to bury the dead Filipinos
after the battle OF Caloocan on February
10. While he and a private from COMPANY
L We're at work together they came upon
the body of a Filipino with a knife IA his
hand, who seemed to have fallen while
nghtlhg. His companion looked at the
body and said it was the one Metcalf had
shot He said the fellow had been taken
prisoner and was unruly. Metcalf stopped
to talk with him, and tried to get him 10
go along. The Filipino sprang at him with
ms knife and would have plunged II into
instantly.

Filipino Insurgents Advised to Break
Up Into Small Bands.

A dispatch from Manila yesterday says:
The last Filipino council of war was held
by the retreating leaders at Bayambang
on November IL. in the house now occu-
pied by Gen. Macarthur. 1t was attended
by Aguinaldo. Pho del Pillar, Garcia, Ale
jandrino. and some members of the So
called cabinet. Information has reached
Gen. Macarthur from several sources 20
the effect that the council recognized the
futility of attempting further resistance TO
the Americans with united forces, and
agreed that abe Filipino troops should scat
ter and should hereafter follow guerrilla
methods
The disposition of the generals with their
approximate forces, is as follows: Gen.
Conception. with $40 men, in New Egija
province; Gen. Macabolos, with 325 men,
at the town of Binaca, province of Tarlac;
Gen. Pho del Pillar, with 500 men, northeast
of Malolos; Gen. Aquino, with 500 men, at
Arayat; Gen. San Miguel, with $50 men, in
Zambalos province; Gen. Mascardo, with
100 men, in the mountains west of An
geles, and the largest force, probably under
Gen. Trias, in Cavite province.
Reports of ambuscades and skirmshes
come from every. section of the country

Protests Coming Into Havana From
All Parts of Island.

A dispatch from Havana says: From
every part of the island communications
are received by the local papers protesting
against a civil governor general Almost
without exception every paper published
in Spanish has objected. The majority con-
denim the project utterly. The minority
think that any change to be made should
be by way of reducing the number of
American troops in the island. In any
event. in the Judgment of the minority,
subgovernors should be Cubans and not
subject to any local military commanders.
The veterans, who constitute the body
from which trouble would be most likely
to arise, are very pronounced against
civil governorship in any form The vari-
Gus centers are making their objections
and passing resolutions which call upon
the United States Congress to grant alb
solute independence to Cuba.
Senior Capote, secretary of the govern
ment, has issued an order to the civil gov
errors directing them to enforce the ac
ceptance of Spanish silver coin during the
reign of Queen Isabella II.
