legged Loss in Hotel at
Portland, Ore.

Portland. Ore, Nov. 19.-E. W. Low
entbal. a diamond broker of New
York. arrived here Sunday evening
and registered at the Portland hotel
He was assigned room on the
Ground floor of the hotel and placeu
a trunk, containing diamonds valued
at $4,000 and 5000 in money in the
room. Mr.. Lowenthal states that ne
left the hotel between eight and ten
o'clock Sunday evening, and tha'
when he returned he found the trunk
broken open and the diamonds ana
cash missing. Detectives were imme'
diately summond and from a hasty
examination of the premises arrived
at the following conclusion:
A ianitor of the hotel had buncf
of pass keys in the pocket OF a pan
Of trousers which were hanging in
closet of the basement. This bunci
of KEYS is missing and the theory i
that the theft, who was evidently wei
nosted as to the basement story o

MASSACRE OF PRISONERS.
povoit,np Crime for which Francisco Bra
ganza, a Filipino Major, Has Been
Sentenced to Death.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The records
of a score or more of court-martlal
trials of Filipinos charged with
murder and other crimes have peeh
received at the war department from
the Philippines.
Probably the most interesting case
is that of Francisco Braganza, major
in the insurgent army who ordered
the massacre of 10 Spanish prisoners
in February of 1900, and who now
has been sentenced to death for ms
crime. Gen. Chatfee made an unusuaI-
" long review of this case, character
izing the wholesale destruction OF NE
ms tbe most barbarous and revolving
massacre of helpless prisoners known
10 the modern history OF war.
He calls attention to the fact that
the chiefs of the insurreetion ana
their utmost TO prevent the united
States from fulfilling its obligation
TO employ its best efforts to return
the Spanish prisoners in the hands oil
the Filipinos to Spain. 1t was upon
the approach of detachment Oh
American troops that this tlhpino Oh
fcer ordered the massacre OF the help'
less spaniards in his charge.
"In what manner this cruel polics
could serve the cause Of the ipsurree
t;on?" saws Gen. Chaffee, passes or
dinary comprehension.
The records give full details OF th'
horrors of the killings.

When we get all we want and all
we need at our great industrial schools |
there will be a department at the A.
& NJ. where the boys may learn all |
about the nature, character, extent
and value Of our deposits of kaolin and
other commercial clays, and where the
industry may be developed. The
above step is just about to be taken
in Georgia, where some of the kaolin
deposits are thought to be Immensely
valuable. Mississippi has as fine ma
terial of this sort as is to be found
anywhere. In Tishomingo county
there is a peculiar clay from which
china resembling Seyres in its per-
fection has been made. There are beds
of kaolin in Madison and Jefferson
counties, and several oe the coast
counties have mines of wealth (com-
monty called clay) awaiting the proper
development, and there is doubtless
much more in the State Of which we
are not informed. When the A. & NJ
boys learn all about these clays and
can prepare them for the market the
ILL.,. G. c. girls must (like Sophie New
comb College in New Orleans) estab
lish a pottery department where theil
artistic talents and creative genius
will have free range. And then wheI
