Beers Aided to Escape.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
HAMILTON, Bermuda, Sept. 1.-THE
pro-Boers in Bermuda have been excelling
themselves this week, the occasion being
the escape of some prisoners of war whom
they made every effort to aid in their at
tempts TO regain their freedom.
Last Saturday night, under cover of
darkness and a rainstorm and, as one OF
the Beers asserts, with the electric lights
playing upon them all the while, three
men. a nephew Of the late General Joubert.
ers, George and Hendrick Indemaur, made
their escape from the prisoners pen at
Darrell's island, and swan over to the
Princess Hotel, where they landed. dressed
themselves i'm the clothing which they had
carried over tied in bundles on a plank and
making their way to a livery stable IN
Hamilton. hired a trap and directed the
driver to take them TO the residence OF DIR.
Outerbridge, at Bailey's bay. and then re-
paired TO a place OF concealment in the
neighborhood.
BY that time an alarm had been raised at
the camp and the military police were on
continued for two days and nights, SOL
diers, sailors, militiamen and civilians TAX
ing part in ii. One prisoner was retaken
Monday morning while incautiously in
curing on the public road for the house
of DR.. Outerbridge, and the other two were
recaptured late that evening. All three
were lodged in the military prison at 81.

The affair has created great excitement
here, not merely because of attempted es-
cape, which is somthing TO be anticipated
at any time, but because of the apparent
exhibition OF prO-BOer spirit here.

THE RECENT DISASTER IN THE
PHILIPPINES.

The recent disaster to an American force
in the Philippines is distressing from a per
sonal point of view on account of the loss
Of brave men, but in a large sense not at
all discouraging. Neither is it surprising
that in cleaning up the remains of the late
insuIrection and pacifying a recently hos
tile people some such unexpected disasters
should occur. Many far greater ones have
happened in our dealings with the Ameri-
can Indians, but they did not affect the
policy of the government. individuals die.
but nations go on. We may mourn for the
brave men who are surprised and over
powered by Filipino insurgents, but it is a
small episode in a large plan, and should
not have, and, of course, will not have any
effect on the policy of the government in
dealing with the islands and people. If the
incident had occurred during the last presi-
Dental campaign it would have been cited
as proof of the u-nconquerable determina-
ton of the people to be free and of the
hopelessness of the task we had under
taken. Now no person of any intelligence
regards it in that light any more than any
of the Indian massacres of whites in recent
years were so regarded. The important
point is that We have made and are max
ing wonderful progress in restoring order
and establishing government in the Phil
ippines. The insurgents and the disafected
people are a mere handful, compared with
the mass of the population who are now
not only peaceable and friendly, but ex-
ceedingly anxious to prove themselves
worthy Of enjoying the protection and
benefits Of American government. AS a peo-
pie we are apt to be impatient in expecting
too rapid progress in the accomplishment
Of great national results. We want things
done in a month that should take a year.
or in a year that should require a dozen.
anything like as much on similar lines as
the United States has accomplished in the
Philippines during the last two years, but
there is still much to be done that requires
time. We must be patient. The foundations
are being laid broad and solid for a great
superstructure, but the work cannot be
lone in a day. There may even be more
lives lost in the Philippines, though we may
reasonably hope not, but if there are we
may be sure the government is making
steady progress towards a contamination
that will rebound to the credit of the Ma
ton and the welfare Of mankind. Much as
the recent disaster is to be regretted it will
figure in history as an inconsequential in
cident in the development of a great plan.

The triennial convention of the Protest

was undone by a terrific explosion, which
blew down the barricnde. A little later the
