covered from the wreckage, pay fair

to announce the result of the vote now
being taken among the operators on
the Southern railway to decide the

concerning alleged grievances OF some
of the employees of the company.
Nh. Cannon quotes pertinent eX-

between himself and Mr.. Powell. and
gives strenographic notes of n corver-
sation had with Mr.. Powell in Wash

in a dispassionate way, and
the desire is expressed to do only
what is right and just by the employees
of tn road.

said: Mr.. Gannon's statement that
no disaffection exists among the en-

h American saloon took the place of
an untold number of native gin shacks
which dispensed liquor poison with de-
plorable effect upon h American
troops. and that the substitution of

improvement in the sobriety of the

FUNSTON IN HOT WATER.
of Court Martial for Execution of
FilipinOs.

Manila, April 3. 500 p. m.-An in
.teresting topic of conversation in army
circles is the investigation of Briga-
der General Frederick Funston's exc
..cution of two FilipinOs and the posi-
.bility of court martial resulting there
from. The story is that the Filipinos
captured three Maccabe scouts who
were crossing the country near San
isidro and were preparing to kill them
when one of the Maccabes escaped and
found General Funston with a scout
ing party near. This man guided the
Americans to the rescue of his COM
paniOns, and when the troops APP
preached the F%ilipinos fled, leaving the
Maccabes. Several of the F~ilipinos
were shot and Funston captured two
OF them, too them to the village
square and hanged them without trial
as a warning to the FilipinOs.
he present method of warfare and
instances of the mutilation of prison
ers have incensed the American sol
diers to such a degree that they feel
justified in making reprisals, which
has been done on several occasions
recently.
There is a strong feeling among the
residents and friendly F%ilipinos that
the Chinese general, Pana, who. as an
tuOuilCSu OiSl' W
Brigadier General Kobbe, after ter
rorizing the province of Panay, should
be severely punished. 1t is pointed out
that his career has been more hat OF
a brigand than a soldier, as he looted
and extOrted money by torture from
wealthy natives and burned alive some
of his followers who intended to de-
sert him. 1t is believed Pana surren-
dered because he feared his own men
and hat he expected to be paroled
like other officers, and enjoy the fruits
of his brigandage.

Washington. April 9.-The difficulty
in securing a sufficient number II
sailors to man the new battleships
and other naval craft which are being
turned out by our ship builders nas
led to the renewal in some quarters
of the suggestion that some Of the
larger vessels OF Admiral Watson's
squadron be withdrawn from the Phil
ippineS TO make up the compliments
of the new ships at home. 1t is stated
at the navy department, however, that
no action in hat direction has been
determined upon and in view Of the
expected arrival on the Asiatic sta
ton within a fortnight of Adn.iraiS
Remey and kempff and the ensuing
division of the naval force on the sta
ton in two squadrons. IL is not con-
templated that any change Viii %
made.
The navy department officials real
ize that for the urpose for which the
navy is now employed In the Philip
pines, small light draft gunboats are
more aluab han big battleships
and monitors with their numerous
crews. Still, conditions in the east
are so unsettled as to make a Si.h
drawal of any portion OF the large
United States force doubtful al his
time. in view of the possibility af
wholesale demands for protectica Of
American interests from points on the
mainland of Asia. This possibly has
influenced the navy department in the
disposition of the ships in the east,
though ii is also possible hat Ad-
miral Watson himself has seen fl to
give the necessary orders without in
structions from Washington
1t has been arranged that an AMER
lean warship will be at hand for some
time to come at no less than three
properly distributed points on the
mainland, which will serve as sta
tons Of refugee in case they are
needed. Thus, al Hong Kong there
