BURNED AT A STAKE.
Georgia Negro Cut with Knives and
Then Set ON Fire.

Newman. Ca. April 25.-In the pres
ence of nearly 1000 people, who sent
aloft yells OF defiance and shouts Of joy,
Sam Hose, a negro who committed two
of TIE basest acts known in the history
of crime, was burned at the stake in a
public road one and halt miles from
here, this afternoon.
Before the torch was applied to the
pyre, the negro was deprived Of his
ears, fingers and other portions of his
anatomy. The negro plead pitifully
for his life while the humiliation was
going on. but stood the ordeal of fire
with surprising fortitude. Before the
body was cool it was cut to pieces, the
bones were crushed into small bits,
and even the tree upon which the
wretch met his fate was torn up and
disposed of as souvenirs. The negro
was cut in several pieces, as was also
his liver. Those unable to obtain the
CHASTITY relics direct paid the more for
tunate possessors extravagant sums or
them. Small pieces OF bone went at
20 cents, and bit of the liver, crisply
cooked, sold or 10 cents.
Sam Hose killed Alfred Crawford, a
white farmer. near Palmetto, and out.
ragged his wife, 10 days ago.

Washington, April 2l.-General Otis
has cabled the war department as fol-
lows:
"Manila, April 2l.-The embarka.
tiOn of the volunteers on their return
to the United States will begin about
May 5. They will render willing serv.
ice until return transports are avail
able. The embarkation will continue
through June and July. OTIS"
A conference held at the White
House today between the president,
Secretary Alger. Secretary Long and
Adjutant. General Corbin, resulted in
confirmation of the original decision of
tn. administration to refrain at present
from awaiting itself of the authorize
ton conferred by congress to organize
volunteer army OF $4,000 soldiers in
addition to the present regular army.
General Otis latest dispatch. de-
scriptive Of the conditions in the Phil
ippines, was carefully considered and
it was concluded to accept his estimate
of the military needs of the case, so,
as he has already Indicted shat his
present army is sufficien, f,r tie pur-
poses he has in view. the decision is
tantamount to resolve to avoid re.
course to the additional volunteers.

GIVEN GREAT POWER.


Instructions to the Samoan COmmISss
sioners Have Been Completed.
Washington. April 30. - The in
ers have been completed. They are
alike in all essential respects. They
were summed up today by one of the
ligh comm issioners substantially as
follows:
The commission IS given complete
authority to carry on a provisional gov
srnment for Samoa. In doing this the
Instructions carefully prescribe the
preservation of order and the security
IF life and property as a first requisite.
1t is provided that the duties Of all OFF,
,ials heretofore exercising authority in
samoa, either by the treaty of Berlin
or in the service of their government,
shall be suspended in order that the
high commission shall have complete
authority over the affairs of the islands.
The comm ssion is required to make re.
ports upon a variety Of things, includ.
ing the recent collisions and causes
leading up to them also upon the add
ministration of the islands; the rights
of the several claimants to the king.
ship, and as to what changes are desir.
able in the methods provided by the
treaty of Berlin. The instructions CALI
for unanimity in all action. The &C.
ton of the commission, when unani-
nous, Is to be conclusive without refer.
endum, except when it suspends pro-
vision Of the treaty Of Berlin. In that
case, also, a provision of the treaty Of
Berlin may be suspended by unanimous
agreement Of members, but the suspen-
sion is ad referendum, and is not bind
ing until the three governments APP.
prove or dsapprove it. The instruc-
tions are broad enough to include the
present troubles, SO that these acute
phases, as we'll as the general govern
ment of Samoa, will be adjusted.
Secretary Hay entertained the Sa-
moan high commission at luncheon at
his residence today. 1t was the first
time the members of the commission
had come together, and, while the
gathering was quite informal and So
cial, mainly for the purpose of getting
acquainted, yet it afforded an oppor-
tunity for discussing the Samoan topic
in its general phases. The commits.
sion will be off on its mission tomor.

THE FALL OF QUINCUA
Filipinos Were Driven From
a Horseshoe Trench.
NEBRASKA MEN FIGHT HARI
The American Troops Continued Their
Advance and Occupied the
Town.

Manila, April 25.-Four men Of the
Nebraska regiment, including Colonel
Stotsenburg. Lieutenant Sisson. and
three men of the Fourth cavalry, were
killed, and "A wounded in an engage.
ment at Quingua. The FilipinOs Ie.
treated with small loss.
The engagement developed iEto dis
astrous. though successful, fight. The
insurgents had horseshoe trench,
about mile long, encircling ice field
on the edge OF wood.
Major Bell. with 40 cavalrymen, en-.
countered strong outpost. One of his
men was killed and five were wounded
by volley. The Americans retired,
CARRYING their wounded under fire and
with great difficulty. being closely pur.
sued, fog enabling the enemy to creep
up to them. Two men who were carry.
ing comrade were shot in she arms,
but they continued with their burden.
Major Bell sent for reinforcements
to rescue the body of the killed cavalry
man, and battalion of the Nebraska
regiment, under Major Milford, ar.
rived and advanced until checked by
vOlleys from the enemy's trenches.
The Americans lay about 800 yards
from the trenches behind rice burrows
under fire, for two hours. Several
men were sunstruck, one dying from
the effects of the heat as they lay there
waiting for the artillery to come up.
Finally the second battalion arrived.
and then Colonel Stotsenburg, who had
spent the night with his father ut Ma
Mia, came upon the field. The men
Immediately recognized him and
raised cheer. Colonel Stotsenburg,
deciding to charge as the cheapest way
out of the difficulty, led the attack at
the head of his regiment. He fell
with bullet in the breast, dying in.
stantly, about 200 yards from the
breastwork.
Lieutenant sisson fell with a bullet
in his heart, the bullet striking him
near the picture Of girl. suspended
by a ribbon from h is neck.
In the meantime the artillery had
arrived and shelled the trenches. The
Filipinos stood until the Nebraska
troops were right on the trenches, and
then they bolted to the second line of
the trenches, a mile back.
The Nebraska regiment lost two pri-
Yates and had many wounded, includ-
ing two lieutenants. The Iowa Iegi-
ment had several wounded. The Utah
regiment had one officer and three men
wounded. Thirteen dead Filipinos
were found in the trenches. Their loss
was comparatively small on account Of
their safe shelter.
The Americans carried the second
trench with small loss, and are holding
the town tonight.
Colonel Stotsenburg had won repu.
tation as one Of the bravest fighters in
the army. He always led his regiment
and had achieved remarkable popular
ity with his men since the war began,
although, during his first colOnelcy,
the volunteers who were not used to
the rigid discipline of the regular
troops thought him hard officer. The
loss OF the Nebraska regiment in the
campaign is the greatest sustained by
any regiment, and today's disaster has
greatly saddened officers and men, who
promise to take fierce vengeance in the
next fight.

SHOT AS A SPY.


Nicaragua Soldiers.
New Orleans, April 2l.-Dr. A. J.
Chapman, of CORTLAND. Miss. twice
reported dead. has arrived on the steam.
ship franklin from Bluefields. Mica.
ragua.
Chapman, who was a surgeon in the
insurgent army, tells thrilling story
OF his escape from President Zelava's
forces. He was captured February "a
near Ramara. while in the company of
Stephen Powers, an English subject
and also member of the revolutionary
army. A court.martial followed the
capture, the men being tried as spies.
They were condemned to be shot.
A strange feature of the affair is that
the sentence was actually carried out.
Stephen Powers fell dead at the first
fire, but Chapman was merely wounded
in the left arm. He fell to the ground,
however. and thinking they had killed
him. the soldiers walked off. Chap
man finally made his way to Bluefields.
Jack Martin, American gunner of
the San Jacinto, who was captured by
Zelaya's soldiers, has been tried and
convicted. Sentence had not been
finally pronounced when Chapman left.
Martin will undoubtedly be shot.

LawtOn's campaign.
General Otis sent this expedition

"for the purpose Of destroying any in
surgent forces that might be found
there, to make careful reconnois-
sanoe Of the territory and to spread
broadcast the recent proclamation Of
the Philippine commission, setting
forth the purposes of this government
with respect to the islands. l expect
he will clear all the prisoners he has
taken, and they will be sent to their
homes. BY this action it is hoped he
will prove to the Filipinos that the
Americans are not as barbarOus as the
insurgents pretend we are and that we
propose to treat the Filipinos hui.
namely"
"Why is General Lawton needed at
Manila:"
General Otis has not commun icated
his plans to the department, the mat
ter being left entirely to his discretion.
The insurgent leader has established
his headquarters at San Tornado, to the
northwest of Malolos. and l suppose
General Otis contemplates movement
against that city. General Lawton had
only 800 men under his command,
and it was of course impossible for
him to divide his force by stationing
attachments in every village captured.
His command will be useful, however,
in assisting in the advance on Malolos,
or in reinforcing the line about the city
of Manila. 1t is possible that when
the lake rises, General Otis will re-
sumo the campaign in the southern
part of the island"
