CAPTIVES RELEASED.
Story of the Recovery OF
Shields and His Men.
Reid FOUR WEEKS BY FILlPINOS.
The Americans Were Ambushed and
Captain Shields Badly Wounded In
the Island of Marinduque-Hard
Treatment and Much Suffering.

MANILA, Oct. 17.-Full details are
now at hand as to the capture of Captain
DevereauX Shields and his party by the
insurgents in the island OF Marinduque
last month and their experiences prior to
their rescue by General Luther X. Hare.
After four weeks of captivity, hard
treatment hunger and continual march
ing to avoid the rescuing force, which
greatly aggravated the suffcrings of the
wounded, Captain Shields and his COM
mand were delivered by the rebels to
General Hare last Sunday at Buena
Vista, on the Martinique coast.
Captain Shields and his party. while
operating north of Torrijos, were taken
IN ambush in the steep hills. They at
tempted to cut their way to the coast
but became subjected to the enemy's four
sided fire, Captain Shields being shot
twice and badly wounded.
After four had been killed and FIVE
wounded, being out of ammunition, the
command surrendered through misun-
derstanding among themselves to 25 in
surgent ritlemen and l 200 bolomen. The
rebels separated their prisoners into small
parties and conveyed them, heavily
guarded, to impossible volcanic noun
tains.
On this news reaching Manila two COM
panies of the Thirty eighth volunteer in
fantry, under Colonel George $. Ander-
son, were Immediately sent to Marin
duque. This force was followed by eight
companies of the First infantry, under
General Hare. The combined force of
1,3OO men proceeded to occupy all the
towns in the island and to scour the coun-
try.
General Hare gave the rebels one week
to surrender the prisoners and the lat
ter's rifles. The Americans controlled
the situation. The rebels perceived that
it was only a question of time when the
release of their prisoners would be eff
fected, and they opened up communica-
lions with General Hare which resulted
in the handing over of the captives. 13 of
whom, the sick and wounded. were i'm
mediately sent to Manila by the gunboat
Villalobos, Lieutenant Edward Simpson
commanding. The Villalobos arrived here
yesterday. Captain Shields is improving.
General Hare's command will remain
in Martinique. He has given the insur.
gents until Oct. 81 TO surrender them
selves and the 81 captured rifles. If they
fail to comply, he will undertake an ac.
tive punitive campaign.
Captain Shields and his companions
suffered greatly at the hands of their
captors, who robbed and maltreated
them. The rebel officers had to restrain
the bolomen from killing the Americans.
When wounded. Captain Shields was
unable to move. He ordered his soldiers
to go forward and to leave him. but they
declined and fought stubbornly until they
were overpowered.

ROOsevelt's Inconsistency.

Says an editorial in the Baltimore
Sun: Unbridled strenuosity is begin
ming to get the better of the ostensible
governor of New York state. 1t is
bucking too hard for him to stay in the
saddle facing one direction for any
number OF consecutive moments. and
worst Of all for him is that in some
of his numerous literary outgivings he
has made declarations quite contrary
to those he is uttering now upon the
stump. The days of his public life
have been spent In waging a contest
between the pen and the sword, and he
is doubtless discovering the truth of
the axiom, since the story of the abiect
surrender of 10000 terrified Spaniards
on San Juan Hill, which he assembled
alone and empty handed, is fading in
the public mind. But the weight of the
pen still prevails, and some of his
voluminous magazine contributions are
coming home to remind him that he
who writes an opinion ought to uphold
1t. But one of the most humiliating
recollections to the ostensible governor
OF New York must be that portion of
his talk with Prof. David Starr Jor-
dan, of Leland Stanford university, in
which he said Il wish to God we
were off the Philippines and had them
of our hands, and many other Repub-
licans are thinking the same" And
why does he favor their retention now?
Nothing has occurred since then to
cause reversal of his views, unless
it is his nomination at Philadelphia.
and If that is 1t, he doubtless changed
his front with the same reluctance as
he accepted the second place nomina-
tion. So 1t can well be assumed that
Roosevelts honest opinions were ex-
pressed when he was unhampered by
orders from the duty and destiny"
managers.

Mr.. Mccarthy was born in Cork No
vember 90, 1890. From 1916 to 1853 he
was on the staff of the Cork Examiner,
and then joined the staff of the North

afterwards foreign editor, and then
chief editor in 1864. Mr.. Mccarthy re-

the United States. Here he Travelled for
nearly three years, visiting 35 states.
He then lived in New York for some
time.
In 1879 Mr.. Mccarthy entered politi-

by majority of three, while at the
same time he was returned for Long
ford unopposed. He claimed the Derry
seat, and obtained it on petition, and
then elected to sit for Derry.
Mr.. McCarthy's activity in parlia-
