Washington, Dec. 24.-WOrd has been received here of an atrocious murder in the Philippines at the town of Cap iazi It appears from the testimony that two natives were responsible for the death of wife of a neignbor. They went to the house of a native named Victor Pere and forcibly took him and his wife to the Panay river. where they bound their hands behind them and told them that their Hast day had come.'
 The woman was struck by bolo and her dead body was thrown into the river. Her husband witnessed her murder and anticipating similar treat ment, sprang into the river and not withstanding his arms were pinioned he maaged to reach the opposite side. According to witnesses the motive for the crime was the superstitiOus belief that the woman was possessed of Oc- cult powers, whereby she in some mys- terious way had brought about the death of a neighbours child.
 The two men were sentenced to be hanged, but General Macarthur miti- gated the sentence in each case to con- hnement at hard labor for twenty years, out of consideration for their ex- ceedinSly low order of intelligence.

Lincoln. According to the programme,
 MT. Bryan is to make his first speech since the close of the campaign, and
 this utterance is to be ir support of a movement to defeat the old-line dem ocrats in the East in their proposed attempt to reorganize the democratic party along lines different from those by MT. Bryan and his ioi- lowers. This is the programme which, if followed out, will result in a peacea- ble love feast of the leaders and party workers present. It has been ru- mored in political circles, however, that some of those who have been invited have prepared a few stumbling blocks which will make it anything but good
 sledding for MT. Bryan and his sup porters. In brief. it is said that they are going to the banquet with the full determination to arraign Mir. Bryan and demand his withdrawal from the leadership. Even should this plan be not carried out, the banquet will not lack interest, for the speakers are to in- clude a score or more of the most
 prominent democrats of the country.

RECORDERS COURT
Few Gases Yesterday But They Were
 Interesting.

The city recorder had but few cases yesterday, but what he did have kept him guessing.
 The first matter disposed of was the case of a couple of Chinamen who had failed to pay their license as vegetable peddlers. One of them had escaped punishment before on a plea of pow erty, but recently both himself and partner branched; out with nice. new wagons. They were each fined the amount of the license and costs.
 Edward A. I.awton. who was on his way from Fortuna to Cram mountain. made a number of acquaintances on Saturday night. who drank with him frequently but could not be found when he needed s5 to pay a fine with. He must have had a good time Saturday night for it took three men to jail him.
 The big case of the day was one which began to develop last Saturday. Officer Joe Bush and gang of men. pursuant to instructions, were engaged Saturday in opening a ditch on South Third avenue near Harrison street. A woman by the namc of Mrs. L. A. Card endeavored to thwart their plans by argument, failing in which. she re- sorted to the use of a shovel and such other weapons as were handy, in the meantime telling her audience what she thought of the Phoenix police force in general, and Marshal Hooker and MT Bush in particular.
 This came from an old grievance which at the instigation of James Shott, then a near neighbor. brought her into the police court once before MT. Bush placed her under arrest and the trial was had yesterday.
 She was more docie yesterday and said she was excited on Saturday by q belief that the improvements along that street to which she objected. were being made through the influence of MT. Shott, who she thought had an in side pull with every official from mayor down.
 The recorder explained that these things were matters of necessity and that it was not only wicked but dang erous to interfere with the officers in the discharge of their duty. He then fined her $5 and security being given, she was released.

VOLUNTEERS IN PHILIPPINES.

Washington. Dec. 24.-As a result of the conference between secretary Of war and Quartermaster General Lud- dington it has been decided that no further action can be taken with re- gard to the return of the volunteers from the Philippines until congress shall make provision for their replace ment. It Is expected that congress will act promptly on the army bill soon after it reassembles in January, but it will be impossible to get fresh troops to the Philippines inside of two months and the homecoming of the volunteers will therefore have to be postponed un- til about February l. Recent cable ad- vices from General MacArthur indi- cate a strong desire on the part of the volunteers to return home and com paratively few will re-enlist, unless most liberal inducements are offered. It is understood that General Mac Arthur has recommended that a boun- ty of $25O be allowed each soldier in the Philippines who enlists for another term. and the plan is said to meet with the favor of the department officials.
 The German embassy has laid before the state department Q number of claims of German subjects for damag ges to their interests in Cuba during the Spanish-American war and the insur- rection preceding. It is known that other governments besides Germany have similar claims. aggregating a large sum. The United States denies liability. and 1t is probable the claims vii! be held in abeyance till the Cuban government is established when it will be presented to Cuba direct.
