Release OF American
Prisoners In The
Philippines.
w. J,lildA
MlA IL ..

The War Department received a
few days ago a despatch from. Gen
eral Otis in which he tells of the
release of all American prisoners by
Colonel Hare and Lieutenant Colo
mel Howe. General Otis gdoesss not
give the names of the Americans
released, but at the War Department
it is believed that his despatch covers
all the Americans not heretofore
accounted for, including Lieutenant
Gilmore. That there shall be no
mistake Secretary of War Root has
directed General Otis to cable the
department without delay the names
of the Americans released by the
Army officers.
The work of Colonel Hare and
Lieutenant Colonel Howe is COM
mented on by General Otis in his
despatch as remark-Delagoa Bay
to Great Britain.
Following is a list of the prisoners
who, it is believed, have been recap
tured from the Filipinos:
Lieut.. j. G. Gilmore, William
r.. Rynders, coxSwain; OIrison w.
Woodbury., seaman; Denzell G. A.
Venville, apprentice; William Wal
ton. chief quartermaster; J o h n
Ellsworth, coxswain; Lyman Paul
Edwards, landsmar; Paul Vandoit,
sailmaker's mete; Silyio BrisOlese,
landsman; Albert Peterson, appren-
tice; Fred Anderson, landsman.

A despatch to the London bureau
from Birmingham, England, says
special detectives are there hunting
two Boer agents who quite recently
were endeavOring to buy large
quantity of small-arm ammunition
and 10000 rifles for shipment to
Antwerp with a view to transship-
ment to the Transvaal.
These orders were booked by the
Birmingham small-arms factory.
When information was conveyed to
the police the Boer agents left Bir-
mingham, but it is thought they are
still in England.
The Beers have tested with great
success the new Belgian-made Mau-
ser rifles, with novel telescOpic bin
ocular attachment and specially
contrived stock so that the marks
man remains completely out of sight
while able to take accurate aim.
The ordinary Belgian Mausers are
declared by experts to be the most
efficient rifle used. The Beers have
10000 of them, purchased within
the last year.
Messrs. Zeiss, the famous binocu-
lar manufacturers in Dresden, have
supplied the Beers with 5000 of
their finest glasses, which outrange
any prccurable by English officers.
The latter have been refused sup.
| ply by the Zeiss firm, who say they
are under contract to give all they
make to the Beers.

Another Open Port
For The Beers.

The recent orders to the British
Admirals commanding rhe South
African and the s'particular seryice''
squadrOns point clearly to belief on
the part of the British authorities
that the TransVaal has another open
port for landing stores and ammuni-
tion besides LourenzO Marques. Ii
is suspected that while British
attention is concentrated on the
latter the Beers are quietly landing
recruits, ammunition, arms and To-
odstuffs at some point in the GAIA
IPortuguese country, probably Chi
luane, at the mouth Of the Sabi Ri
yer, whence entry may be made by
the caravan route to the Transyaal
through the passes of the zoutpa ms.
berge range.
1t is absolutely certain that Boer
agents are still purchasing freely on
the continent all stores they require.
This they would not do if they had
not still an undiscovered open port.

The MOlineux Case
(From The " AppealTo
Reason"

Some of the jOurs in the celebra-
ted MOlineux murder case in the
New York that is costing hundreds
of thousands of dollars to the people,
complain that they are shadOwed by
detectives every step they take.
This is one of the beauties of the
private property system-men are
hired t. hear a case at a fat salary;
fearing the will be biased, ,..shrewd
lawyers are hired on each side to
instruct his judgeship; not yet being
willing to trust him wholly, twelve
men ignorant of the case are hired
to decide the matter; not willing to
trust these, fifteen detectives are hi
red to watch these, jurors to see that
they are not given an opportunity to
sell out to the highest bidder. Who
is hired to watch the detectives that
they are not in the pay of the highest
bidder9 Why can they be trustedf
Are they purer than.the restg The
court recognizes that if men are
tempted they will fall, at least some
of them, and they do not know which,
hence the detectives. 1t recognizes
that the only safe plan is to keep the
jurors out of temptations way. If
this is good sense, why not abolish
a system that puts the temptation Of
profit for wrong'doing :

all the powers strongly protesting
against the seizure of neutral ships
in Portuguese waters and denying
that any negotiations were on foot
for the sale of Delagoa Bay to Great
Britain. Portugal had not thought
OF selling this possession. Such a
sale would injure the interests of all
the powers and would cause the Bo-
ers to occupy the bay. The Minister
is represented as giving the impress
sion that if the Beers are successful
Portugal will be more likely TO allow
them to take possession of DelagOa
Bay than Great Britain.

seems specially aimed at American
manufacturers. For instance, ty-
peWriters and office labor saving ap-
paratus are heavily charged, the for
mer some thirty-tWO times what it
was before, but as the duty will now
be payable on the net instead of the

about sixteen times what it formerly

Motorman Who Did Not Wear Gloves

An awful fate from a most peculiar Cause awaits Orta Browne, a motor man on the Gilbert avenue electric line in Cincinnati. who lies at his home in terrible agony and suspense awaiting rhe issue. Unless the skill of his phy- sician prevails and nature lends her kindly aid Browne will be blind for the rest of his days.
