MANILA, Dec S.-Native scouts from
Bengabon. province of Nueva Ecija. have
killed the American negro David Fagin, a
deserter from the Twenty-fourth (colored)
Infantry, who for more than two years
has been leading Filipinos against the
American troops. The native scouts de-
capitated their prisoner. The mans head,
however. was recognized as that of Fa-
gins. They also secured his commission in
the insurgent army Fagin had on one of
his fingers the class ring of Lieut.. Fred
er1ck w. Altstatter, Of the engineers, who
was captured by FilipinOs, supposedly
der the command of Fagin himself. Oct. 2S,
1900. Fagin has been reported killed upon
several occasions. The authorities are sat
isfed that former statements of his death
were erroneous and that he has now been
killed.
military commission has sentenced the
Filipino Gen. IsidOre Torres to be hanged
after finding him guilty of ordering the as
sassination of Corporal Fieldner, of the
Twelfth Infantry. at Malolos. province of
Buluacan, last October. The sentence of
the commission has been disapproved by
General Chaffee, who finds that the COM
whether General Torres personally or
dered the assa ssination Of the American
soldier. General Chaffee thinks the high
rank held by Torres in the insurgent army
would have been sufficient to prevent such
unmilitary action on his part.

REFUSE MEXICAN SILVER.
Manila Merchants Decline to Accept
Ii for American Supplies.

MANILA, Dec. S.-The United States
Philippine Commission has passed an act
authorizing the insular purchasing agent
to draw money in gold for the payment of
supplies purchased, as the merchants re-
fuse to sell goods for Mexican silver.
A. general feeling of uneasiness prevails
among the business men of Manila from
the unofficial announcement that. begin
ming Jan. !, the United States Philippine
Commission intends to reduce, by the diff
ference OF the fall in the price of silver,
the present ratio of two Mexican dollars
for one gold dollar. 1t is hoped, however
that some solution of the difficulty may be
found which may obviate this necessity,
as, for instance, the taxing OF each silver
dollar imported into the islands by the diff
ference between its actual bullion price
and 50 cents In gold until such time as the
United States Congress gives authority for
the Issuance of a Philippine currency.

CHINESE SHARE
THE COMMON GRIEF
They Regarded Mckinley as
China's Lenient Friend
in Need.

No sentiment of grief over the news
of the uea~ of President Mckinley
was more apparent in outward sym
and japanese residents. Whenever
the Orientals were questioned they
said that the death or the President
was as much regretted by them as by
those who were born Americans. The
black pail decorations were spread
dences, and the Chinese dragon was
placed at half-mast. The great yellow
flag with the f1ve-clawed beast en-
blazoned thereon was lowered to half
mast over the hall of the Chinese
United Society, on King street, while
at the consulate the flag was lowered
to the mourning position.
Few Chinese places or business were
open during the day, and the Oriental
business men showed that they ap-
preciated the grief into which Ameri-
can nation had been plunged. On both
sides of Nuuanu street, the representa-
tive Chinese business section of the
city, stores were closed and the win
dows draped in deep mourning, the
picture of the late President being con-
spicuously displayed in frames of crepe
cloth. Many japanese stores were
likewise closed for business, and ev
cry indication of outward mourning
displayed. The Japanese consulate
lowered its sun flag to half-mast
The arrest of business included the
busy Oriental section along King and
Liliha streets on the Eva side of Nuu-
anu stream. More than one Chinese,
when questioned as to the mark of re-
spect which they showed for the mar
tyred President, stated that what they
knew of Mckinley was of his great
ness and goodness, and of the lenient
policy which he had pursued in China
during the past year. Some said that
the loss of the President was as great
to them as to the American people.
and they desired to show that they
realized the worth of the dead chief
tain.

EYEWITNESS TO
THE ASSASSINATION
Mother Of a Honolulu Man Tells
Story Of the Buffalo
Tragedy.

The incidents and scenes attending
September are vividly told in let
ter written by lady to her son in
Honolulu. She was standing on the
piazza of the Music Hall when the
fatal shots were fired, and witnessed
many of the exciting scenes which
followed. She says:
Il saw the President Friday morn
ing at $50. ] again saw him in the
afternoon as he was returning from
Niagara Falls. l knew he was to have
reception at 4 o'clock in the Music
Hall. 1 started for the building, but
missed my way and it was after
before I reached it. I heard the two
shots fred, but did not think anything
about it, as l heard shots fired while
in the Midway. Just as | started to
go up the steps the doors were clos
ed l saw people talking in groups.
Soon | saw some men carrying man
down the steps and put him in the
hospital ambulance. In a few minutes
/ saw some police officers and lot
of men taking another man out and
put him in d carriage.
Men were excited and were shout
ing Lynch him! Lynch hin! Still I
did not know what it was about until
| asked man, VINO said, w ny, don [
you know the President has been shot
twice.
II never saw such an excited crowd
running after the carriage containing
the prisoner. If they had got hold OF
him he would not have been long Tor
this world All during the evening a
big crowd stood at the doors of the
Music Hall, thinking he was still in
side, because everything was closed,
windows and doors. L took the street
car for the depot in the evening. When
we reached Main street the cars could
rot get through the crowds.
II believe every man, woman and
child in Buffalo was on the streets, in
front of the newspaper offices, the city
hall and Jail. I had to get off the
cars at Exchange street to get over
to the New York Central depot. The
station was crowded with people com
ing and going, all excited over the
days events.

SPONTANEOUS TRIBUTES TO THE
DEAD CHIEF MAGISTRATE OF THE NATION

Americans one and all whether born
under the flag or whether adopted by
the nation, our sorrow is common to US
The whole world, the cause of humanity
has sustained great loss IN the death
of President Mckinley.
1T seems to me that while Pres
ident Mckinley made a profound i'm
preston upon the intellects of men, that
is not to be compared with his impress
sion upon the hearts of all mankind.
Men, the world over, feel at the death
of President Mckinley as though
friend has been stricken down at their
side. And they mourn not so much the
loss of the man on account of the great
ness Of his intellect as on account of
the goodness of his heart.
Sadly peculiar were the conditions
surrounding the assassination Of Presi
dent Mckinley. Lincoln died while the
strife and while there can be no ex-
cuse for the assassin's deed, there is at
least some explanation, for the awful
crime. Garfield was stricken in the
midst Of turmoil arising from the divi-
sion of political honors, and while there
is no justification in the deed, yet there
is some explanation of the awful crime.
But as far as Mckinley was concerned,
he had not done anything to provoke
feelings of personal dislike, or malice.
The nation which had been dismember-
ed into North and South had, under
the magic kindliness of this man come
| together and in the Spanish war had
| fought side by side for the flag that
part of them had tried to tear down
| and for the country they had tried to
divide. If Lincoln is to be called the
'Emanicipator' and Grant is to be called
by his grateful countrymen The Pre-
server of the Union then this man.
called by the Angel of God should be
called The Pacificator of the American
Union
"And how strangely he was shot
down. Think of the heart of the man.
How he had won the American peo-
pie from the time when, after he first
took the oath of office, he turned to
Mother Mckinley in the proudest
moment of her life and kissed her, to
the time when he extended his hand Ia
friendly greeting and was met with a
pistol shot. I think he was saying in
his heart and was about to say with
his mouth to the man who approached
him with the bandaged hand, Too bad
that your hand should have been hurt, :"
when the extended hand belched forth
fire and death and the American nation
was stricken down, but thank God, the
government in Washington still lives
! Judge w. L. Stanley was announced
! and said in part:
II attended this meeting this evening
not for the purpose of taking part, but
as recent British subject and a new
American citizen, 1 feel that I should
contribute my few words to an express

FROM T. M'CANTs STEWART.

FROM T. M'CANTS STEWART.
T. McCants Stewart was next called
upon by Judge Estee. He responded
briefly and eloquently, first referring to
a little story of churchmen of different
denominations applying for admission
at the gates of Heaven, and being as
signed to different quarters of the
various sects. Finally" continued
Mr.. McCants Stewart, lone person ap-
peared who said he was a member of
the church of Christ. There is no liml-
tation to your sect he was told, all
paradise is yours It seems to me that
uppermest in the minds of all of u.s.
upon the receipt of the sad news yes
terday afternoon, was the fact there Is
no limitation to Americanism. The
whole country became American, one
and all. British, French, German. those
born under our flag and those born un-
der other flags, became American.
Those who have adopted our nation and
those whom our nation adopted, with
bowed head and sad heart, went about
saying Mckinley Is Dead
Even those not citizens of the re-
public, those from all nations and from
all climes seem to share the sorrow and
grief alike. There is no limitation to
Americanism in this national calamity.
Never before have so many tears been
she'd" The speaker here referred to
the great grief and emotion with which
Roosevelt, Root, and other strong
hearted public men heard the direful
news.
Here because of the admiration and
love OF our people for a great and good
man, we are fearful too, the women
also, because of the awful calamity
which has befallen the wife of that
man.
Mckinley stood for national unity;
no American. no matter what his past
beliefs and characteristics, who on
American soil was born, who does not
thank God for what he did. working
always for national unity, until now
there is no east or west, nor north or
south. Even those men who fought for
the destruction of the union have ac-
knowledged Mckinley as president, our
president, the flag for which he stood
as our flag, the flag for which Lincoln
died, and for which men laid down their
lives, to maintain it's integrity.
Mckinley stood for the humanity Of
nations, for the principle. that might
did not make right. Like the rock OF
Gibraltar stood Mckinley in favor of
right. in all his dealings with other
nations. In his dealings with China he
stood for humanity.
Next he stood for commercial ex-
