COURT-MARTIAL VERDICT ~ CASE
OF 4 FILIPINO NOT APPROVED.

WASHINGTON, Sept 3-The outrages
committed by armed guerrillas and bandits
against innocent Filipinos continue 10 be
vigorously dealt with by the authorities in
the Philippines. The records in about
twenty cases were received at the War De-
partment to-day. They show that the death
penalty was inflicted on thirteen murderers
by military courts-martial, and that five
offenders were sentenced to hard labor or
from fifteen to thirty years. In the case
of Simplico Geromilla, who was sentenced
TO be hanged by a military commission,
of which Lieutenant Colonel Swigert was
president, for acting as a leader OF an
armed band of insurgents and firing upon
and killing two American soldiers, al
though at the time living under the
protection of the military authority Of
the United States as an amigo. General
Chaffee disapproved the sentence and or
dered the prisoner liberated. Says General
Chaffee in his Endorsement: THE finding
cannot logically be sustained. The killing
with a regular detachment OF the public
enemy is not murder, but a natural conse-
quence incidental 10 state OF war. IL IS
not cOntended that the accused himself did
the killing, and as these American soldiers
fell I'm battle only on the theory that he
was one OF band combined for the COM
mission of murder could he be held Tor

weaker American countries. there is no
cause for wonder. If people outside OF the
United States are really in error regarding
the intentions Of the United States. the
Americans have themselves TO blame. Mr.

In conclusion, the Vossische Zeitung
says: we know Of no European country

anywhere IN America, unless il be Great
Britain, which is insisting on the observ-

the world now following a policy of ex-
panslon IN America is the United States.

zeal reasons, TO show distrust as regards

cause of these remarks is that Mr.. Bryan
has purchased an Eastern paper publishing
about the same matter as does the Com

so much time in assailing combinations
and trusts, nothing would have been said
Of the consolidation of another paper with
his own. His purchase simply shows that

Bryan saw that the paper which he pur-
chased would probably interfere with the
influence and prosperity of his Commoner
The competing publisher might reduce the
price or offer a premium to get subscribers
TO the injury of Mr.. Bryan's venture So
he bought up the competitor and adds its
subscription list TO that of the Commoner.
If there were half dozen papers trying
to occupy the same field as the Commoner.
Mr.. Bryan would have purchased them if
he could, because, like Mr.. Rockefeller or
Mr.. Pierpont Morgan, he would get rid of

BERLIN. Sept. 3.-Prince Chun arrived
a Potsdam this afternoon from Switzer-
land. He was received at the railroad sta
ton by the town commandant and the
chief of police and was driven TO the
orangery in Sans Souci Park.
1t is said in official circles that the In
terview between Emperor William and
Prince Chun must occur tomorrow or
Thursday, as his Majesty goes to the ma
neuvers on Friday. The correctness of the
report of the Ostasiatische Correspondent
that Emperor William removed all him
ORANGES from Prince Chun's coming to
Berlin by telegraphing his willingness to
receive him alone is admitted in official
circles. Baron Won Richthoff, the foreign
secretary, will assist Emperor William at
the reception of the Chinese envoy. Count
Won Buelow will not be present. KEN
Chan, the new Chinese minister here, will
act as interpreter. No other Chinaman
will be present. The Emperor will not re-
ceive the other members of the mission.
Prince Chun will lodge as Emperor Will
liam's guest for two days at the orangery
of the palace at Potsdam. He will then
come to Berlin, where the Chinese lega-
ton has rented an adjoining palace for
him for two months. But it is not believed
the prince will stay here that length of
time. 1t is expected in official circles that
Emperor William will pay no further at
tention to Prince Chun after his Majesty
has received him i'm audience.
Prince Chuns first invitation to visit
foreign governments was from the United
States, followed by invitations from Italy,
Belgium, Great Britain and Japan. They
have all been accepted. He will first go
to Italy. whence he will proceed to Bel
gium and England, going home by way
of the United States and Japan.

Lawyer Brennans advice 10 workingmen
TO cripple the trusts by Withdrawing their
deposits from the banks was very silly. The
savings of wage earners are generally
either deposited in savings banks. which
invest them in safe securities, or put in
building and loan associations. where they
are loaned only 10 members. They do not
form a large proportion of the deposits of
national banks. with which corporations
and capitalists deal. and, even if they did,
it would be very unwise for workingmen to
withdraw their deposits from a safe place
TO hide them in stockings or ehimneys in
the vain hope of hurting trusts. Lawyer
Brennan seems to be a good deal Of a fool.

by the foreign ministers on the Chinese

General Stowe, at Cape Town, contends

Roberts in regard to the superiority of

says are superior to any other of either

The National Association of POstoffice
Clerks. now in session at Milwaukee, will
consider the question of affiliating with the
American Federation of Labor in an effort
to secure eight hours and higher salaries.
1t is claimed that President Gompers has
promised the clerks the cooperation of the
federation on the line indicated if they will
organize. They would find it very difficult
to coerce the government in that way and
would better wait till the revenues of the
department will justify an increase.
