FIllpINos SENTENCED TO DEATH.

Manila, March 30.-The military
commission appointed to try the La
drone leaders, Morales and Gozales,
who were accused of numbering Fill
pinos, has found the prisoners guilty
and sentenced them to be hanged
near Bayambany, today. This IS the
first time the sentence of death has
been passed upon natives by the
Americans. The action of the mill
tary tribunal is calculated to suppress
outrages by bands of outlaws, but it
is criticised in some quarters as being
premature, owing to the fact that The
insurgents have some sixty American
prisoners in their hands, and they
may retaliate by executing some of
of these.

JOE WALCOTT-.BILLY SMITH.

New York, March O.-Joc Walcott,
the colored wouder, will meet "Mys-
ferrous Billy" Smith in 25-round
battle for the Welterweight cham
pionShip of the world at the Broad
way athletic club tonight. Smith
holds the title at present. This will
be the third time these men have
fought, Smith winning on the first
occasion; the other decision being de-
clared draw. Walcott's recent vic
tory over Joe Choynski stamps him as
a good man. Smith acquired the
title through the inability of Tommy
Ryan to make the welterweight limit
of l42 pounds. The men are in good
condition, and the bout promises to be
a slashing affair, as there is an old
grudge existing between them. Smith
is a Slight favorite in the betting.

did not light it, but laid it on the table,
