Boston, Feb. 15.-A special cablegram
to the Globe from a staff correspondent
at Iloilo says: 1t has just been discov-
cred as the result of an investigation
that three Massachusetts soldiers of
the 26th regiment, U. S. ", have been
tortured to death by the insurgents.
The men were Dennis Hayes, William
Dugan and Michael Tracey, private Of
Co. +, under Captain William M.
Tutherly. They remained behind the
column at Galinog last November, to
get tuba and refused to accompany
the corporal sent by Captain Tutherly
to bring them along. They were cap
tured by the insurgents hanging on
the rear of the column, and were cruel
ly tortured and murdered by the rebels
in the public plaza at Calling, the ac-
tion being countenanced by the padre
Spanish priesD. The padre has since
left his parish for the mountains. When
the men remained behind they had with
them their full equipment of arms and
ammunition, which was captured.

mier, in the course Of his reply for the
government, said: Il cannot enter upon
the springs that guide the Russian gov
ernment, or the course it is likely to
take, nor can l discuss the health of
the Ameer of Afghanistan. AS to
whether our forces are adequate for the
work in South Africa or whether it is
true that the government have always
been too late and have neglected oppor-
tunities 1 would gladly accept chal-
lenge, provided the words would not
go beyond this chamber. The present
troubles are not due to the expansion
of the empire, but to miscalculations
made in 1881 and 1884. Our forefathers
We're not discouraged by bad begin
nings; and we should follow their eT-
ample and not be cast down. The gov
ernment are convinced now, as they al
ways have been, that the issue will be
brought to a successful conclusion. I
do not think any advantage is to be OBJ
tanned from taking a gloomy view."

A LIREL FOR TOWAGE.
Brought Against Fleet of Scows by
Owner of the Tug Volunteer.


| Grafton M. Milliken and Andrew Fer-
ris, owners of the tug Volunteer, yester.
day afternoon, through their proctor,
James D. Dewell, jr., filed in the Unit
ed States district court libel and com-
plaint against scowe No. 6, Z, 8 and 10
and against all persons lawfully inter-
vening for their interest therein in a
cause Of contract for towage. The COM
plaint alleges that during the months OF
July and August, 1899, the libellants
towed, by means Of the tug Volunteer.
the scows mentioned from New York
to New London, from New London to
Providence, and back to New London
and in and about the l1arbors of New
London and Providence, at the request
of the master, owner and agents of the
scows at the agreed price of $3.50. 1t is
further alleged that no part of this sum
has been paid, though demanded.
The libellants pray that process issue
against the scows and that they be con-
demned and sold to satisfy the demands
with interests and costs. Last month
the Bridgeport Towing company libelled
the scows. Avery F. Cushman of New
York appeared to defend and claimed
that the contract for towing was made
in a home port with the owner of the
scows, and that the vessels were there
fore not liable, but that the owner was
liable personally, well known princi-
pie Of admiralty law BY agreement Of
the parties, however, an order Of sale
was entered and the sale is to take place
in New London to-day.

A Convict Relensed on Pardon by
Governor Reckhnm.

Frankfort KY, Feb. 15.-The clash
between the democratic and republican
branches of the state government was
emphasized tonight by the prison off,
cials releasing John Seals, a Louisville
convict, on a pardon issued by Cover
nor Beckham,. Douglass Hayes, a
Knott county convict, recently pardoned
by Governor Taylor, is still in confine-
ment, the prison officials refusing to
recognize Taylor as governor. Attor-
neys for contestants and contestees to-
day signed an agreement to govern the
conduct of the contests of minor state
officers The contest board met and

lar sessions at the state capital are con-
ceded to be brighter tonight. Speaker

MACRUM DISCREDITED.
State Department. Never Notified That
Official Mail Was Opened.

Washington, Feb. 15.-While state de-
partment officials were averse to-day to
discussing the published statement of
ex-Consul Macrum, it was authorita-
lively stated that search of the rec
ords failed to show that Mr.. Macrum
had ever reported to the department
that his official mail was being regular
ly tampered with by the British au-
thorities. 1t was said that he did, in a
general way, report that both official
and private mail intended for American
citizens did not reach him punctually,
and asked that a protest be made on
account of this rather arbitrary pro-
ceeding on the part of the postal au-
thorities. The department investigated
the matter and learned that no unnec-
essary delay existed and does not credit
the statement that any correspondence.
official or otherwise, was opened, in
spected and delayed by British author
tiles.

PETITIONS For PATEMENTS
II, arings on Number of Them Held by
the street Committee.

The street committee last night held
public hearings on a number of petitions
for pavements referred by the common
council. Among these petitions were
two for the paving of Temple street,
one from Rev. DR.. Newman Smyth and
others for the paving of Temple street
between Chapel and Elm streets with
vitrif1ed brick and the other from f. c.
Bushnell for the paving of Temple
street between Chapel and Trumbull
streets with Trinidad pitch asphalt.
These two petitions were considered to-
gether. A previous hearing on the two
was held some time ago. when nearly all
the residents on Temple street between
Elm and Trumbull street and other
citizens appeared and protested against
the laying of asphalt Mr.. Bushnell
was unable to be present at that time
and the subsequent hearing was held
last night In order to give him chance
to be heard.
He told why he thought that Trinidad
asphalt would be the best material with
which to pave the street and maintained
that this asphalt was entirely different
being so slippery and that in other re-
spects it was superior to the Sicilian
Rock. Henry T. Blake, John 7. Sloan,
A. n. Kimberly, Attorney John w.
Bristol, Anthony Carroll and others ap-
peared to protest against the laying of
asphalt OF any kind.
A large delegation of property owners
on Congress avenue was present to
protest against the granting of the petit
ton of Councilman Edward p. OMeara
for a vitrlfied brick pavement on Con-
gress avenue. No one appeared to fa-
vor the petition and judging from the
pointed remarks of the large number of
objectors who appeared the petition has
raised storm of protest among the
residents of the Third ward.
Hearing on a number of other petit
tions We're held last night, but the COM
mittee tabled all the petitions for con-
sideration at an executive session at
which recommendations to the common
council will be decided upon

OLD BRIDGE CARRIED AWAY.
One Spanning the Connecticut at En-
eId-Unknown hIan Drowned.

Thompeonville, Feb 15.-A portion of
the bridge that spans the Connecticut
river, connecting Enfield and Suffield,
was carried away this afternoon and
one life was lost. Hosea Keach, the
station agent at Enfield, also had a very
narrow escape, as he was carried on a
portion of the wreckage more than half
mile before he was rescued. The
bridge was a covered wooden structure,
third of mile long, and about half of
it was carried away. 1t Went down in
three sections and an unknown man,
who was on the bridge, went down with
one section, which afterwards went to
pieces on an end of Terry's Island.
Nothing was seen of the man after the
structure gave way, although his cries
for help were heard for some time
Mr. Keach managed to break hole
through the roof Of the portion of the
bridge he was on and climbed out to the
top. He was carried at least half a
mile down the river, when Robert Abb
bey and Frederick Blodgett, employed
at the Warehouse Point depot, rescued
him by means Of a rope formed into
moose as he was being carried under the
ldAl OtQ DlloSG. NIL. iASoSAA ~ tiiS oee'
ton agent at Enfield. The Southern
New England Telephone company had
seven wires crossing the river on this
structure, and by the breaking of the
wires communication has been cut off
between Somers, Somersville, Hazard
vile and Enfield.
The bridge was built eighty years ago
bN Squire Dixon, father of James Dixon,
who was for many years United
States senator from Connecticut. 1t
cost upwards of 100000. A bridge
which originally stood on this same site
was built by a lottery under special
grant from the state legislature. The
original bridge stood bat short while
and was replaced by sae structure that
was destroyed to-day. 1t had been
toll bridge until three years ago, and
before the era of railroads was the only
bridge between Springfield and Hart
ford and was greatly Travelled over. At
torney William Marsh Of Chicago,
grandson of the builder, is the present
owner.
