TORTURE PRISONERS.
FEROCIOUS CANNIBALs AMONG
INSURGENTS.
They WIN Show No Mercy to Americans
Who Fall In Their HAnds-An Escaped
Prisoners Experience With Natives.

San Francisco, March 25.-A letter
from Captain McQuesten, surgeon of
the Eighteenth regulars, now at Ma
Mia, tells Of the release of A. R. Peters,
a photographer who was captured and
tortured by the Filipinos. Peters was
made prisoner while taking pictures
outside the lines. He was thrust into
filthy Jail, where he was visited by q
native captain, who tested his sword
upon his body aud promised to kill him.
The rebel chief then called in a number
OF naked savages, all armed, who ex.
ecuted a war dance and made passes at
Peters, one of them wounding him in
the arm. The next morning he was
taken to Malolos, where he found eight
Americans, two Englishmen and q
Spaniard. Peters finally secured his
release, through the intervention OF
American officials.
THE savages who attacked Peters, '
continues Captain McQuesten. were OF
the tribe known as headhunters and
cannibals. They live in the interior Of
the island, and will not show any
mercy after this to any unfortunate
white man who may fall into thei,
! hands"
