sentence imposed by it had the express
sanction Of the laws Of war. He was,
however, unwilling to direct the execu.

the accused were influenced to commit
the crime of which they were convicted
by local guerrilla chiefs, who, he said,
were the principal criminals in the
affair. Moreover, he said, the prison.

Handful Of Americans Hold Six

Reinforcements Arrive Just IN

MANILA, June 9.-General Pho del

Handful Of Troops Stand or SIX Hundred
Filipinos.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Perhaps the
most thrilling and picturesque incident
Of the entire Philippine war occurred at
Oatubig, on the island of Samar, where
on April Is last party of 81 enlisted
men Of Company NJ, Forty.third infan.
try, held at bay force of some 800 in
surgents during four days Of fierce
fighting, reinforcements arriving just
in the nick of time.
The war department has received re-
ports from Captain Day of the Forty.
third infantry and First Lieutenant
j. T. Sweeny Of that regiment, who
commanded the rescue party, giving all
the details Of the attack, the siege and
the relief.
According to these dispatches the at
tack on the garrison at Catubig began
without warning on Sunday morning,
April Is. From the hills on all sides,
from every point Of vantage in the
town and from deserted church di.
rectly adjoining came rifle and can
non fire Of terrible intensity. On Tues
day morning handfuls of burning hemp
was thrown into the barracks from the
insurgents in the church and soon the
Soldiers Refuge Was on Fire.
All efforts to subdue the fire failed, and
finally the little band made a dash for
the river bank. Some were killed be.
fore the bank was reached, others fell
dead in a boat in which they were try
ing to make the opposite shore, and
when a trench was finally dug with
bayonets there were only 16 of the 81 to
man it. Here for two more days Cor
poral Carson, handling his men with
the Judgment of a veteran, held out
under a terrible fire until Lieutenant
Sweeney's command, which had been
ordered to supplement the garrison at
Oatubig and was on it's way up the
river OH the steamer Lao-Lang, arrived.
The Lao-Lang steamed up to Catubig
under rain of Mauser bullets from
both shores. The small boats were
lowered, landing effected and the
rescuers fought their way through the
open to their besieged comrades in the
trenches, buried the dead within reach,
brought back to the boat the besieged
party numbering now only IS men and
then steamed down the river.

EAT NO COOKED FOOD.
Users of Raw Diet Organize-LOn-
gevity and Freedom from Dis
ease Promised.

Twenty-three men and women,
pledging themselves to eat no food
that has been cooked, constitute the
Chicago Raw Food society, organized
at the Grand Central Passenger hotel
the other night, with B. Tyler as
president. 1t was decided to try to
bring about the organization of kim
dred societies throughout the United
States.
Mr.. Tyler, in addressing the meet
ing, said:
mo oak ever grew from a burned
acorn; parched corn will never spro1t
when planted; roasted chestnSts
never produced a chestnut tree, nor
were peanuts ever grown from plaht-
ing roasted peanuts All that is life
giving in anything is destroyed oy
fire. 1t was never intended that man
should eat food that has been cooked;
that he should take into his system
dead cells to replace the WORKOUT
cells cast off by the body"
Prof. Tyler said that it was from
reading Darwin that the idea of raw
food diet was suggested to him. Res
Olutions were adopted that contained
the following:
Resolved, That it is our firm con-
viction that man could live longer in
proportion to the number of years
required for his development by eat
ing raw food; that i'll health would
be the exception rather than the rule,
and that pestilence and contagious
diseases would be wiped from the
land We believe that children reared
on uncooked foods will become giants
physically and Intellectually. We
know that the cost of living could be
reduced to ten cents per day. We be-
Geve that the world would be morally
improved, because those living on raw
foods are always healthful and in a
pleasant frame of mind, and have no
desire to commit wrong"
