SENTENCE RICHLY MERITED.
Discharged Volunteer to BE Hanged
Found Guilty ON Triple Charge.


Found Guilty ON Triple Charge.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19-George A.
Raymond, an American and formerly
private in the Forty-frst volunteer in
fantry, was tried by a military commits
sion in the Philippines while ago on
triple charge of murder, rape and rob-
berry and sentenced to be hanged. The
records III this case of unusual deprav-
ity have Just been received at the war
department.
Upon the muster out of the F'orty-first
Raymond went to the province of Pam
panga and endeavored to organize a band
of outlaws among his former comrades.
On the 9TH of last May. while he was
riding along road near Barrio of San
Jose with Henry Bohn, who had also
been a private in the Forty-first infan-
try, and with whom he assumed to be
Oh friendly relations, Raymond treach-
erously turnedson his companion and
killed him with his revolver and then
emptied the dead mans pockets. Two
days afterward, in company with UIich
F.. Rodgers and George L. Mlhn, former
@priyates of the Forty-first, Raymond,
CARRIED in the uniform of United States
army officer, entered the premises of d
peaceful native and robbed him of Sad
dies and brides and three horses. On
the night of May 8 Raymond forced his
way into the home of respectable ma
tive girl and assaulted her.
In reviewing this case and approving
the sentence Of death Gen. Chaffee said:
1.-The depravity and dangerous criminal
propensities of the accused, involving
in the short space of three days the rob-
berry of a helpless native, the licentiouS
violation of a respectable girl and the
treacherous assassination of a comrade
from motives of pure RIGHTEOUSNESS can
call for but one fitting penalty"

GRANTS HoRsEMANsH1P.

A writer in McClure's Magazine says
that in the spring of 1878 he was in the
city of Milan, and there before the hotel
where he was staying he saw an immense
crowd about a beautiful horse, which
three grooms were holding with difficulty.
A group of Italian officers in full uni
firm were waiting near on their own
horses, and evidently some grand cere-
monial was about to take place. Present
~ he was told that Gen. Grant was to
review the pride and flower of the Italian
army, the flying Bersaglieri, and in few
moments the general appeared, dressed
very plainly in civilians clothes
He walked out of the hotel quite IN
noticed, and presently one Of the officers,
who had dismounted and was standing in
the hallway to receive him, remarked:
why does not Gen. Grant Gomez"
There he goes" said the American,
pointing to the simply dressed figure.
The Italians gave a doubtful laugh
NO" said one, that cannot be he"
But as the general very evidently stood
waiting for them, they advanced, received
him and took him to his horse, which was
making frantic and almost successful eff
forts to escape from the three stalwart
grooms. A more wicked-looking creature

the sly looks which passed among the

broken.
But Gen. Grant looked at the horse
and his face lighted with admiration
Whether he was not well or merely as
Eumed sort of helplesSness could not
be determined, but in mounting he ac-
cepted the aid of two officers, and from
an apparent stiffness had some difficulty
in getting his right leg over the saddle.
Once in the seat, however, he grasped
the reins, settled himself, Strengthened
his form and assumed SO perfectly the
air of horseman that a shout went
up from the crowd. The horse after a
few plunges, discovered that he had
found his master and started off in a
gentle trot

Guest at Lunch.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19-The period of
official mourning for the late president
ended at midnight last night, and this
morning the flags on the White house
and all public buildings in Washington
were raised to the top of their stats.
Prof. Fedor de Martens, a permanent
member Of the council of the foreign Of
fee of Russia, called upon the president
today. He was presented by Chief JUS
tice Fuller, who will give dinner in his
honor this evening. Prof. De Martens
was one of Russia's representatives at
The Hague He is understood to be urg-
ing meeting of the permanent board,
which has never yet occurred.
Dr. J. L. McCurry, secretary of the
Peabody school fund, paid his respects to
the president today. He said the sugges-
ton had not been made that President
Roosevelt succeed the late president on
the board of trustees.
Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina,
introduced to the president today Col. A.
B. Andrews, first vice president of the
Southern Railway, and DR.. McAdden,
president of the Cotton Spinners' assecia-
ton, with whom the president discussed
the Industrial situation in the Southern
states

representatives of the peace conference
at The Hague, called at the White
house today, and lunched with President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Hollis says he has been

that he never pretended to be ''the

Hollis said he had met Lord Lansdowne

WORK FOR Mr.. ROOT
PHILIPPINE SITUATION WILL GIVE
THE SECRETARY OF WAR
PLENTY TO Do
MUST KEEP UP THE ARMY
Reduction of Force in the Islands
Through Expiration of Enlist
ment Terms Presents Sc
rious Question.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-One of the
questions that will require the prompt
and serious consideration of Secretary
Root on his return to this city next week
will be the military situation in the Phil
ippines. The recent serious outbreaks in
the island of Semar have disturbed the
authorities considerably. 1t is realized
that they may prove serious setback to
the plans of the administration for the
racification of the Filipinos and the eX-
tension of American sovereignty.
There. is no longer any prospects of
substantial reduction in the strength of
the Philippine army for some time TO
come. In fact, the latest advices from
Gen. Chaffee contain arguments against
any reduction of the army at this time,
except as required by the expiration of
enlistment. AS pointed out by Gen.
Corbin in his annual report, the army
will lose nearly 1000 men a month on
this account. The war department OIL
Gals are now considering how to meet
this prospective deficiency without i'm
pairing the efficiency of the military es-
tablishment in the Philippines Gen.
Chaffee has said that he will require
three extra transports to assist in bring
ing home the Short-term men within the
next six or eight months. The quarter
masters department has selected the
transports Meade, Rosecrans and Egbert
for this special service. The last two
named will leave Washington ports in a
few weeks for Manila. They will take
out civilian employees and supplies. The
Meade, which is at San Francisco, is be-
ing held in reserve for the purpose of
taking out troops to replace those to be
brought home.
Other vessels which will be utilized in
taking troops to the Philippines are the
Grant, at San Francisco, and the Crook,
at New York. The former, which is ex-
pected to leave about the middle Of next
month. will carry out an entire regiment,
with its equipment, and the Crook will
take the nucleus of another regiment and
number of recruits. She will start
about the list of December. Although
not finally settled, it IS probable that the
Twenty-eighth infantry, now in the de-
partment of the Columbia, will be or
dered to the Philippines on the Grant.

FIELD ARTILLERY TRIAL.
New Guns for the Army TO Be Tested
at Sandy Hook,

WASHINGTON, Oct 19.-The fortifica-
ton board at Its meeting just ended at
Sandy Hook witnessed the preparations
making for the approaching trial of field
guns for the artillery. Several such guns
were already on the grounds and were
undergoing private tests preliminary to
the official trials, which will begin next
week and probably last three weeks. The
Lewis gun currently reported to be an
improved model of the French field gun.
was one of the most noteworthy pieces
on the field. Owing to the omission OF
one of the mechanics in charge of the
oil cylinders it appears at first that this
gun was a failure. However, the omis-
sion being discovered and supplied, the
ensuing tests We're attended with such
remarkable success that the board felt
warranted in predicting that 1t would
prove formidable competitor for the
first place in the competition, the result
of which will be to supply the United
