Il had engaged fifty Mexicans,'' said
Mr.. Wilson, "and paid every one of
them in advance. They worked with
me for a week on the mountain but
when I touched off the first three big

the fire would soon start, every Mexi-

THE sight was a great one. They

LARGE SURPLUS
Notwithstanding That Some

The executive committee of the car

The committee was able to state that
about $4,000 would be left. Several 10
cal firms have imposed on the COM
mittee by making their bills larger
than they at first promised and they
had to pay them.
Many unlocked for things have come
up and the final work of tie committee
has been the most annoying. They
have all stood with it, however, and

1t has been announced that the COM

necessary. The public has taken a

over at length last night and it was
the unanimous opinion that Ell Paso-

CRUELTIES OF FILIPINOS.
Records of Recent Court-Martial Case
in the Islands.


The War Department has received the
records of several interesting court-martial
cases In the Philippines.
Florentino Oreta, native was found
guilty by military commission Of the mur-
der Of his brother, Francisco Oreta, and was
sentenced to confinement at hard labor for
life. 1t appeared from the evidence that
F'lorentino stabbed Francisco to death be-
cause the latter attempted to induce him to
join the tnsurgent ranks, under threat of
death If he refused. General Chaffee, how
ever, IN passing upon the sentence, said:
Although the actual killing Is presumptively
proven by complete chain of circumstan-
tial evidence and admitted by accused, no
eye witness saw the scene, and the record
Is silent as to whether the deed was done in
the heat of struggle He mitigated the
sentence to twenty years Imprisonment at
hard labor.
particularly revolving case was that Of
Juan Biron, an alleged lieutenant of the in
surgent army. Biron captured at Bas-
caram, in Albay province, a native scout
named Felix LoSedo, who was in the employ
of the United States, bound him to a tree
and then with a razor cut off one of his
prisoners ears and SiaShed the blade into
his eyes, with the intent 10 blind the help
less man. He was very nearly successful
for the sight of one of the scout s eyes was
totally destroyed and that of the other per-
manently impaired. Bron was sentenced to
be confined at hard labor for fifteen years.
