GUILTY OF TREASON
Officials Of q Mindanao Prov
inoe Gave Aid to Rebels.
RETURN TO MILITARY RULE URGED.
General Davis Thinks the Ends OF
Justice and Pence Require the
. Change-Fightinx Reported
In Several Localities.


MANILA, Dec. 23.-Genera4 George
w. Davis commanding at Zaenboanga,
island OF Mindanao, has requested that
The province of Misamis, Mindanao,
again be placed under military control.
General Davis has proof that the re-
Gently elected presidente and vice
councillors and the leading men OF
.Cagayan de Misamis are guilty of trea-
son In furnishing ammunition to the in
surgents within the past month.
The fiscal Of the province Of Misamis
is also implicated. The evidence shows
that all these men were members OF
the secret Katipunan society. Genera!
James f. Wade, commanding the
American forces on Cebu island, con-
ours in and indorses the request Of
General Davis and, reviewing the situ-
alton in Mindanao, says he is satisfied
that the ends Of justice, peace and good
government will soonest be obtained
by the restoration of military control
to the province Of Misamis and the
overcoming of all resistance to that au-
thOrity.
General Ball, who Is in command Of
the American forces in Batangas prov
lnce, Luzon, has praised Lieutenant
James D. Tilford. who, while scouting
with Troop D of the First cavalry.
routed an insurgent force In that prov
lnce. Lieutenant Tilford located a reb-
el stronghold on top of hill near the
town Of Batangas. He surrounded the
enemy under cover of night and at
tackled them at daylight. Their surprise
was complete. Nineteen insurgents
were killed while attempting to escape.
Lieutenant Tilford captured sixteen H.
aes and 500 rounds Of ammunition.
A detachment Of scouts Of the Sec
ond infantry also had a small engage
ment with the insurgents in which they
killed nine men and captured four.
Lieutenant John d. Hartman Of the
First cavalry during an expedition
which lasted several days encountered
the enemy six separate times without
losing one of his men. He destroyed
several barracks.
The United States army transport
Meade has arrived here. She reports
having met terrific typhoon Dec. l3
and Is which did some damage to her
boats and flooded the cabins and the
hospital quarters, causing great alarm
to those on board.
General Chaffee, speaking on the sit
uation in the islands, said he consider
ed conditions In the Philippines to be
hopeful and that by the end of Febru-
ary all the turbulent provinces will
have been pacded General Chaffee ex-
cepts the island of samar, however,
which will probably require some
months longer. There the situation de-
mands a policy of rigid starvation and
the giving Of food only to those who
surrender or who stay In the towns.
| The closing Of the ports In Laguna
and Batangas provinces in Luzon has
had a most salutary effect, as the meas
ure has resulted in touching the pock-
cts Of the Manila Filipinos who have
been aiding the insurgents. The former
are now anxious for peace and are
working to that end.

LUDINGTON, Mich. Dec. 23.-While
entering Ludington harbor at midnight
during heavy sCutherly gale the Pere
Marquette car ferry No. 18 struck q
bar, disabling her machinerY-a and
breaking the main feed steam pipe.
Great volumes of steam instantly es-
capped. Mike Tnft, q coal passer, whose
home is in Chicago, was scalded to
death, and two other coal passers,
whose names are unknown, were also
terribly scalded. They now lie In the
marine hospital here, lowering between
life and death. Many others. who were
in the hold Of the car ferry received
bad burns from the steam and suffered
great hardship during the nine hours
which followed the accident.
The accident happened at midnight.
and during the remainder Of the night
there was neither light nor heat. The
night was bitterly cold. Great seas
rolled across the deck and Ice formed
wherever the water fell. The boat ar
rived Off the harbor from Milwaukee
after u tempestuous voyage. In spite OF
the heavy sea and strong wind from
an unfavorable quarter Captain
Charles Thompson decided to hazard
an entrance to the harbor He would
have succeeded had not his boat at an
unfavorable moment sunk low In the
hollow of big wave and struck the
bar with terrific force.
The shock completely disordered the
machinery Of the boat. Left without
power, the car ferry drifted against
the North pier. where she pounded
heavily, staving several huge holes In
her forward quarter. Thereupon Cap
tain Thompson ordered the sea cocks
opened, and the boat was scuttled IN
sixteen feet Of water.
When day broke, the life saving
crew by means Of their cannon threw
a line to the wrecked craft and began
rescuing the crew with their breeches
buoy apparatus. The entire crew or
thirty-three men and the body of Taft
were taken off the wreck in this man
ner. One by one the men We're hauled
