States Evidence.
fBy The Associated Press }

Charleston, S. c., April "a special
frorS Chesterfield Courthouse S. c., says:
The trial of Thomas Stein. John, Benja-
min and Harvey Jackson, for the burn
ing and killing OF the white woman. Cas-
sic Boon, in the upper part of this county
some weeks ago was begun this morning
before Judge Klugh. The State is repre-
sented by Solicitor Johnson and the de-
PENDANTS by w. p. Pollock and NJ. j.
Hough. The evidence, or the greater part,
is unfit for publication. The woman was
cut severely in two or three places and
physicians at the inquest testified by
eft-handed man. The body was dragged
about half a mile and set on fire. The
deceased, il is supposed, was left for
dead but recovered sufficiently to call for
help and lived until next day when she
died. She was about twenty years of
age and half Indian. 1t is said one of the
parties charged with the killing is left
handed.
The four men named have been in Jail
committed by the coroner. Thomas Stein
has turned States evidence and only John
and Harvey Jackson are included in the
indictment. What the solicitor is holding
back Ben Jackson for is not known.
The case is attracting widespread in
tereSt. 1t will probably be finished to-
morrow

END OF ROBERTS BRILLIANT DASH.
Preparations Being Made to Hold Bloemfon-
tein Against Surprises.
(Ry the Associated Press,)

London, April 1O.-(Tuesday-5 a.
m.)-Britons are now beginning.
though reluctantly, to realize that
Lord Roberts is in for winter cam
paign lasting several months. This is
the end. in a few words of the high
hopes based upon Lord Roberts brill
liant dash to Kimberley and Bloem-
fontein.
Preparations are being made to hold
Bloemfontein against surprises. Lord
Kitchener has been given an impor-
tant duty. being responsible for the
protection of the railway, while Lord
Roberts is waiting for re-mounts and
winter clothing for the troops, whose
thin cotton khaki uniforms and boots
are worn out.
General Brabant and General Gata-
ere are both at a Standstill. Lord
Roberts will probably for some time
confine his operations to clearing the
Free State behind him for raiders
and to relieve Mafeking, for which
purpose apparently the Eighth diYi
sion, now arriving at Cape Town, has
been ordered to Kimberley.
Lady Sarah Wilson and other Mafe-
king correspondents send diaries of
the things there, showing that the
Beers have tried, by abandoning their
trenches, to lure the besieged out into
mined ambush. Fortunately the
British engineers discovered the mine,
cut the wire communication and un-
earthed $50 pounds of dynamite and
war gelatine.
What the chances are for an adj
vance to Pretoria may be judged from
the fact that only from six to ten
thousand horses are on their way to
the Cape and from the further fact
that the military tailoring DEPART
ments only within the last three
weeks began making wooden khaki
uniforms. IT. is said it will take at
least two months to provide 100000
uniforms.

at Kroonstadt is confirmed. The

HANGED BY FUNSTON
His Execution of Two Fill
pinos Without Trial.
The Matter is to be Investigated, and it is Said
Court Martial May Follow the
Investigation.
(By the Associated Ptess.)

Manila, April 9.-(S:20 p. m.)-An in
teresting topic of conversation in army
circles is the investigation of Brigadier
General Frederick Funston's execution of
two Filipinos and the possibility of
court martial resulting therefrom. The
story is that the Filipinos captured three
Maecabebe scouts who were crossing the
country near San Isidro and were prepar-
ing to kill them when one of the Macca-
bebes escaped and found General Funston
with a scouting party near. This man
guided the Americans to the rescue of his
companions, and when the troops ap-
preached the Filipinos fed, leaving the
Maecabebes. Several of the Filipinos
were shot and General Funston captured
two of them, took them to the village
square and hanged them without trial as
warning to the Filipinos. The present
method Of warfare and instances Of the
mutiliation of prisoners have incensed
the American soldiers to such a degree
that they feel justified in making repri
sails which has been done on several oc-
casions recently.
There is strong feeling among the
residents and friendly Filipinos that the
Chinese General Pana, who, as announced
March 31st, surrendered to Brigadier
General Kobbe, after terrorizing the
province of Panay, should be severely
punished. It is pointed out that his ca
reer has been more that of a brigand
than soldier, as he looted and eXtorted
money by torture from wealthy natives,
and burned alive some of his followers
who intended TO desert him. 1t is believ
his own men, and that he expected to be
paroled, like other officers and enjoy the
fruits of his brigandage.
