Barbarous Treatment of Wounded

Van Den Bosch. a retired manufae-

fetal in the Holland state department
at The Hague, has received the follow
ing letter from Heinrich Van Der Riep,
a young lawyer who resides in Pre-

when trouble began here I Joined
Joubert's forces. Ii was triumphant
march of the volunteers q! the inva-
sion Of Natal. and a number Of brilliant
maneUveTs followed, which resulted in
the fight at Elandslaagte, where I was
wounded. I managed to escape, after
many hardships and am awaiting full
recovery from my wounds before re-
turning TO the front.
And now l come to the subject that
makes every humane soldier tremble
with rage-the manner in which the
British treat our wounded and prison
eTs. 1 wish above all things that the
world might know how completely
these scOUndre1s violate all convention
al and humanitarian laws; how they
butchered wounded soldiers with their
lances, cruelty maltreated prisoners,
and that in direct contrast with the So
called stupid Beers. who are treating
their English prisoners and wounded

The Tagal general MauTicio recently

Colonel Byrne. He proposed that the
insurgents be let alone and permitted
to wear side arms and uniforms in the
towns until the war in LuzoD was
ended, when they would surrender.
Colonel Byrne refused to agree to
this, however, and said they would be
considered as bandits and shot if they

BITTER AGAINST FRIARS.
Filipinos Protesting Against Their
Power In the Islands.

GOWEI III Lll6 ASlduuSs
Manila, Jan. 1.-THE presence here
of Archbishop Chapelle. the apostolic
delegate to the Philippines. is greatly
stirring the Catholics OF all national
tiles. The Filipinos have gained the i'm
preston that Mgr ChapeIle is the joint
agent Of President Mckinley and the
pope to restore the friars.
One of the causes of the excitement
is a statement which the DOminicans
furnished to the Spanish press that
Mgr. Chapelle, in visiting the heads of
the order, told them he favored the
retention of the bTOtherhOods and that
President Mckinley shared his views.
which were, that IF the friars returned
to their parishes they would be con-
sidered elements Of good order and
therefore American agents.
Mgr Chapslle denies the accuracy of
these statements, and Catholics Of all
sections are petitioning Mgr. Chapelle
and Major General Otis against the
friars returning to their parishes, re-
peating the charges of oppression, cru
city and immortality. The Catholics re-
quest that they be given priests not
connected with the brotherhoods.
Delegations from many Of the towns
are visiting the provincial governors
for the purpose Of making the same
request, and prominent Manila Cath
olics are cabling the pope on the sub
jet. The people say the friars will be
driven out If they return to their par
iSheS and there Will be continual trOu-
bic If the administration attempts to
protect them.
To quell the excitement, Major Gen
eral Otis consented to the publication
in the local newspapers of a statement
which he had made to a delegation of
Filipinos, as follows;
If the church authorities assign
friars to curacies who are obnoxious
to the people, they viii not be COM
PEELED to accept them, The individual
liberty guaranteed by the American
constitution viii not be denied the Fill
ipinC5 and. the government viii not
force on them any ecclesiastical de
nomination contrary to their wishes.

BRYAN TALKS TO LEGISLATORS
ADDRESSES KENTUCKY Law
MAKES AT FRANKFORT.
Chamber of the House Crowded to
Listen to the Silver Leader, Who
Gave Some Good Advice.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 17.-wflia1a
Jennings Bryan addressed the members
of the legislature today just before the
election Of Senator Blackburn The
chamber Of the house was never more
crowded than when Representative
Nelson introduced Mr.. Bryan. The lat
ter was accompanied by J. c. s. Black
burn and Senator GCebel.
Mr.. Bryan proposed two laws that he
hoped would be adopted in Ken
lucky. One of them WAS to
make it a felony for a corporation to
contribute to campaign funds, and the
other to prohibit betting on elections.
He held that betting is bad morals and
bad public policy He believed that
men often bet for fear Of showing lack
Of confidence in their cause.
