FERED INTENSE AGONY.
Canadian Court Martialed for Looting
His Government Will Inquire
into Report-Neither De-
MED or Confirmed.

New York, May 3.--A special to the
World from Ottawa, Ont. says: Colonel
Mcclellan has presented in the Cana
dian house of commons a petition from
his constituency asking the government
to inquire into the report that a SOL
dier of the FIRST Canadian contingent
had been punished for looting.
1t appears that after long. arduous
march and after having fought in the
battle of Paardeberg, the Canadians
were exhausted and half starving hay
ing subsisted on quarter rations for
three weeks.
The Canadian in question, private,
driven frantic by hunger commander

shared with his tent companions He
was subsequently, COurtmartialed fol
looting, and a war correspondent reports
that the British officers sentenced him
to Sc days in confinement as punish
ment.
This was carried out by a species of
crucifixion, the victim being bound
with outstretched arms and legs. on the
wheel of field gun carriage in the face
of the blazing sun for two hours each
day. The agony is said to have been
intense
The minister of militia could not con-
firm or deny the correspondents dis
patch.
1t was shown that such a barbarous
form of punishment is not provided for
in the army laws of England and the
government was asked to give -"
official information upon the subject.

PORTER on PHILIPPINES.
To Give Them Up Would Be National
Modification.

New York, May 3.-Bshop Porter,
speaking last night at the annual dinner
of the New York commandery of the Mill
tary Order of the Loyal Legion of the y.
S., at Delmonicos, said that his mind had
not undergone any radical change con-
cerning the Philippines since his return
to the United States. He thus illustrated
his views: "If my son should come to
me and say he proposed to marry a
young creole woman with seven children
l would call him great big ass. But II
he came to me and said he had already
contracted such marriage l would still
try to sustain intimate relations with him
mo, gentlemen, what we have done,
has established just such a relation as
that. and it would be source of national
modification if we gave up our RESPONSE

ward printed by the senate as part of
an official document. The papers were
respondence on the subject of the Samp-
sent to the senate, February 6, 1899, in re-
sponse to a resolution calling for infor
nation regarding the promotions OF
Sampson and Schley. They were intend
ed to justify the departments action in
recommending the advancement by eight
numbers of Sampson and by six numbers
OF Schley and they included the now fa-
nous letter of Sampson to Long, dated
July 10, 1898, in which he used the ex-
preston "reprehensible conduct" in re-
gard to Schley
AS Chadwick was chief of staff the corr
respondence was i'll his hands and his in
discretion in giving papers of such I'M

the department as very great Tie COR

and nineteen British were left dead on the
field including Cptain Liddy. A few fed
erals were wounded. Heavy lombard
ment by the British has been resumed at
Fourteen streams.
The CORRESPONDENT of Reuters telegram
agency in the Boer camp at Brandfort
wires that when the British appeared
ten miles east of Brandfort, General Del
arey ordered a charge by so Beers, who
drove them back to their entertainments.
The federals found four men upon the
field and took seventeen prisoners most
ly wounded, including Lieutenant Crane.
Later in the afternoon General Delarey
learned that the British had forced their
way twenty miles east of Brandfort and
seven miles north of the Modder river
with $50 men Delarey went in pursuit of
the British who numbered 1900. The
forces met in the open country, sharp
engagement followed and the British re-
tired. AS the Beers had a heavy day they
were not pursued.
The federals had five men wounded. An
American has been arrested in connection
with the Begbie explosion.
London, May 3.-Lord Roberts latest
dispatch throws no light on the object
and possibilities of the extensive opera
tions in the neighborhood of Thabanchu.
One military critic believes the inference
is justified that Lord Roberts successful
attack at Houtnek threatens the Boer
center and puts the British in a favorable
position to crush the Boer left which is
still facing General Rumble at Thabanchu
or their right which is somewhere be-
tween Brandfort and Windburg. Gen
eral Ian Hamiltons success at Houtnek
elicits little enthusiasm as the critics un-
animously pointed out some time ago that
the policy of the Beers would be one Of
slow retirement. Colonel Baden-Powell
reported officially from Mafeking under
date of April 90, that all was well there.
He adds thirteen native women tried to
get away during the night Of April 15 The
enemy fired on them and wounded two. I
wrote to Snyman pointing out that he
shelled the native stadt which is full OF
women and children and when they are
trying to escape, the Beers flogged them
and sent them back, and at night they
shot them down pretending to mistake
them for night attacks"
Snyman has not replied. Other news
from Mafeking details the careful saving
of the provisions and says there are di-
minished rations for nine thousand souls
within the beleagured town. The American
hospital ship Maine sailed from South
ampton for the cape today.

was not a criticism of a superior officer
and in referring to it as similar mis-
conduct" Mr.. Long did not mean to tndi-
cate any resemblance between it and the
insult to Admiral Schley. The depart

present one in that as in the present case
Captain Chadwick reposed in newspa-
per man confidence of which the news
paper man proved himself unworthy.
After leaving Santiago Captain Chad
wick allowed a number of dispatches to
be seen by this newspaper man. In fact,
he left them in the mans possession for
some time. The newspaper man copied
the dispatches. He did not publish them
in any newspaper but prepared them for
use in a magazine article, which he in
tended to write. He did write the article: !:
it was accepted by the magazine and it
was only on the eve of Republication that
the navy department learned the fact. 1t
was impossible to prevent the publica-
ton, but the department destroyed the
value of the publication to the magazine
and the author by Immediately giving out
to the newspapers copies of the dis
patches. They appeared in the newspa-
pers on the day that the magazine con-
tanning the article was issued.
The department investigated the mat
ter and found that Captain Chadwick W .
to blame. He escaped with a reprimand
and the fact that he was in fault and had
been punished was never made publ
The fact that Chadwick has again com
mitted the same offense has evidently de-
cided the department TO try the efficacy
of giving his act and punishment the W:d-
est publicity.

turned over included all the official cor

Coal Mine Inspector Thomas, who Is ac-
uuainted with all the workings in the
mine. says to the best of his belief there
are II more bodies in the mine, buried

One hundred and fifty bodies are now

buried in military fashion, in two long
trenches that are now being dug on Gem

the bodies will be taken to their former
homes. Eight of the bodies will be sent
to Coalville, Utah.
The inquest was begun this morning at
the residence of the late John Hunter.
who was killed in the mine. The jury
did not go into any controversy as to
what caused the disaster. but simply
found that Hunter met his death in the
mine through an explosion
State Mine Inspector Thomas testified
that it was his opinion that the explo-
sion was caused by a tight heavy shot"
He said the mine was free from gas. He
had examined the place where it was
claimed the powder had been stored and
sal dit was plainly evident that the ex-
plosion started where the powder was
stored, as the bodies taken from that
point were badly burned.

Salt Lake, May 3.--There is very lit
tie to add this morning to what has al
ready been told of the explosion at the
Scofield mine. So far almost 200 bodies
have been recovered and it is thought
that sufficient bodies yet remain in the
mine to bring the list of dead near 300
Nobody entertains the faintest hope
that there is living man in the mine
1t is now only a question of recovering
the bodies of the victims and that cannot
be finished for several days.
The fact that the rush of air from the
mouth Of the main entry of the mine was
sufficient to blow man and his team.

serve to indicate what force was eNerted
within the workings of the mine. ard in

The body of Joseph Graves. a Utah

He was married about three months ago
and his wife is not yet Is years of aga.
This is but one case of many.
If any one man is to blame for the ac-
cident it will never be known, for no

they have always been regarded as the
