Vengeance Of Fortieth.
MANILA, July rs. AT Oroqrieta,
in Northern Mindanao, two soldiers
entered a native store for the pur-
pose OF buying food. While there
one of them was killed with q bolo
and his head severed from his body.
The other escaped and gave the
alarm.
A company OF the Fortieth
Infantry stationed at Cagaysn
repaired to Oroquieta and killed
eighty-nine natives, thirty. eight OF
them being in single house,
Subsequently the guuboat Callao
commanded by Lieutenant George
B. Bradshaw, shelled Oroquiets,
burning the warehouse. One OF the
crew was killed.
A force of the enemy estimated to
number 500, under the leadership OF
Alvarez, formerly the insurgent

New YORK, July 26.-The World
has this from Hongkong under
date OF June IL:
"While no proclamation has yet
been Issued declaring the Filipinos
in arms to be outlaws, the American
troops are practicing in sports in
the Philippines a policy beside
which bandit law is a tame affair.
The ad minislratioD has decided the
rebellion must be kept down. and
in spite OF peace proclaim ations our
soldiers here and there resort to
horrible measures with natives
Since the war was Officially declared
to be ended we have killed more
Filipinos than the Spauiards did in
both rebellions. Captains and
lieutenants are sometimes judges,
sherffs and executioners. II half
dozen natives more or less are shot
on suspicion OF being our enemies
no news OF it reaches the Military
Governor, who wants none.
Publicly we are granting amnes,
ty to prisoners. Publicly we ere
most liberal. Instead OF executing
our bandits in public plazas ia the
presence Of the people we execute
them where they are caught. That
keeps the facts quiet-keeps the
truth away from the people OF the
United States, which is considered
justifiable because they cannot
understand the situation and it's
necessities
"If many actual occurrences we're
literally told people would refuse
to believe that such barbarities
take place under our flag.
4 don't want any more pri.
soners sent to. Manila was the
verbal order from the Governor
General three months ago. That
is the message passed along from
officers to privates, and it has been
interpreted in several ways. Ia
other words, the volunteer officers
and men individually have been
guilty OF deeds which when commit.

TRACK TO WATERBIJRY
Consolidated Road to Improve the Nau-

 Consolidated Road to Improve the Nau- gatuck Division.
 At meeting of the board of direc- tors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, held in New York Saturday, the board approv- ed and adopted general scheme for double tracking the Naugatuck railroad to Waterbury and providing proper depot facilities at Waterbury, Ansonia and Derby, to be carried forward with reasonable expedition as soon as the perfected plans can be made. Probably the first move to go forward is the double tracking at points best calculated to expedite the running of trains.
 The president also asked and re- ceived authority to commence the work of laying stone ballast on the Shore Line division.
 The Naugatuck division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road runs from Naugatuck Junction to and the distance from Nauga- tuck Junction to Waterbury, which is to be double tracked, is 2S.17 miles.
