Two of the Three FiIipinos Re-
Gently Tried by Court Martial
for Murder of American SOL
diers Ordered to Be Hanged
ONE ESCAPES WITH
LIFE IMPRISONMENT
ButChery of Five United States
PrivateS and PreSidente of
San Miguel de Mayumo Planned
and Executed With Cunning
Worthy a Better Cause

Washington, Dec. 24.-The war de-
ippines the records of court martial by
which three natives were tried for i'm
plication in the murder of five Amer
lean soldier prisoners. One of the Fill
ipinos was Timoteo Dahlan, eomman-
dante of the insurgent forces who or
dered Manuel Gonzales, a leader Of the
insurgents, to kill the president of the
Pueblo of the San Miguel de Mayumo,
province of Bulacan. Gonzales, in COM
mand of a band of insurgents, sue
cessfully ambushed a detachment of
the Thirty-Fifth Volunteer Infantry
taking five of the American soldiers
prisoners.
The Americans had been acting as a
guard for the presidente of Miguel de
Mayumo and he, too, passed into the
hands of the insurgents. The Ameri-
cans captured and afterwards killed
were Privates John T. Hickman Com
pany B; William A. Smith, Company
C; Hamlet Jarvis, Company G; Elmer
Dane, Company e; and Frank H. Will
son, Company E. The presi6ente was
stabbed. The Americans were placed
in charge of a sergeant, taken away,
and killed with bolos.
There was an attempt on the part of
each of the three Filipinos to shift the
responsibility for the crimes at the
trial. 1t was developed that Comman-
dante Dahlan in ordering the ambus-
cade gave the following directions to
Lieut.. Gonzales: Separate Buencamio
(the president) from the Americans,
and with these Americans do as if you
were to take them to the general; but
when you reach the tall grass, do with
them what we are accustomed to do"
He finished his directions for the
murders with these words: You Will
receive five pesos for the soldiers God
keep your life many years"
In passing upon these findings in the
case of the insurgent commandante,
General Chaffee said: His open appeal
to the base instincts of his soldiers by
promising reward for the execution of
his inhuman command, aggravates his
offense and marks the accused as one
so lost to the better instincts of his
race as to preclude an appeal to Glenn
ency."
In Dahlan's case and that of Con
zazles. General Chaffee approved the
sentences of death by hanging imposed
by military commission. In that of
Clemente Della Cruz, the sergeant who
personally directed the murder of the
prisoners he commuted the death SEN
tence to Imprisonment for life at hard
labor

REVEALS A SECRET
OF FRENCH COURT
Ancient Manuscript Found in an
Old Clock Shows Reason OF
Visit of the Duke Of Orleans to
GaIIipoIiS, Ohio in 1889

Cincinnati, O., Dec 24.-The En-
quirers Gallipolis (O) special says the
discovery of manuscript in a secret
drawer of an old clock in the city re-
veals a secret of the French court and
shows the reason Of the visit to that
city in 1889 of the Duke Of Orleans, af-
terward Louis Philippe Of France.
The discovery was made by Claude
NJ Wall, while taking apart an old
French clack that had long been stand
ing in the storage room Of his store
He found a secret drawer in the clock
which contained an old parchment
manuscript written in French and
which was wrapped in a child's flannel
skirt richly embroidered and bearing
monogram. A piece Of fine lace was
also with the manuscript.
Upon translation the manuscript
purported to be a true history of Adela
DeAlonquin." 1t bore the signature OF
Louis DeAlOnquin. and was dated Oct
10. 1889. 1t was addressed to Adele
apparently to be given her when She
grew to maturity. The substance on
it was that Adele was the daughter OF
the Duke of Orleans The mother died
at the chllds birth, ignorant Of the
rank of its father. The writer was
then placed in charge Of the child and
sent with it 10 Gallipolis, where thers
was a French colony.

protector and finally, after the visit of
the Duke of Orleans to Gallipolis, Ii
was determined to send Adele to
Catholic school in France. The mother
Of Adele not being Of royal blood, the
marriage was kept secret.
Mr. Wall has sent the manuscript TO
the French ambassador at Washington.

Correspondence of the Assoclated

Paris, Dec. 15.-Venezuela having
failed last year in her attempt to re-
new diplomatic relations with France,
even after the good offices Of the
United States had been called in to
assist in the negotiations, has at last
got the Spanish government TO in
struct the Spanish ambassador In
Paris to plead her cause. The am
bassador Marquis Leony Castillo has,
consequently, laid the the proposals of
Venezuela before the French govern
ment and they will shortly be taken
into consideration. The bases of the
proposals are as follows:
Arrangement of the French claims
arising out of the revolutions of 1892
1899, 1900 and 1901 within period which
will not exceed one year.
Venezuela demands that in future
France, like Italy, shall recognize the
Venezuelan courts as having jurisdic-
ton to decide French claims and that
the duties imposed on Venezuelan cof-
fee imported into France shall be re-
moved.
The French government intends, If
lIS conditions are not Shortly dCC6pLeu,
to impose prohibitive import duties on
Venezuelan cocoa "a per cent of the
crop of which is consumed by this
country. If this measure were to be
put into effect it would ruin Vene-
zuela, which would not know where
to place her cacaO.
The Caracas Chamber Of Commerce,
realizing the danger, has written to the
Chambers of Commerce at Havre,
Bordeaux and Marseilles to the effect
that it is endeavoring to induce the
government of Venezuela to listen to
reason, in order that an understanding
may be arrived at,
1t is stated that Cecilio Castro, who
has been already charged with a diplo-
Tnatic and financial mission in France
which was far from successful, will
leave Caracas Dec. %. in order to sub
init the memorandum revised by Presi-
dent Castro
The correspondent learns on good
authority that the French government
Is determined not to be lenient.
1t is considered at the French foreign
office that Senior Castro's voyage will
be useless unless he takes with him a
document, signed by President Castro,
which would become a protocol and
would have TO be accepted by the
Venezuelan Congress before the French
government ratified it.

SAID TO

Negotiations Believed to Have
Been Renewed Between Chill

BasiS-What Washington Hears

Buenos Ayres, Dec. "a (via Galveslton).
The report that Senior Concha Suber-
casseaux, the Gillian minister will re-
new here the negotiations between
Chilli and Argentine. on a conciliatory
basis, namely, the evacuation Of the
forces of the two republics Of the ter
ritory in Dispute, appears to be con-
hrmed. A protocol in TINS sense Is sdlu
to have been signed.
Washington, Dec Accommodating
upon the London reports to the eftecI
that the boundary commission could
not deal with the pending issue, being
limited in functions by the treaty which
created it to the definition of the
boundary, it is pointed out here THAI
the existence of this limita-
ton, there is still no good reason why
Chill, being willing, the necessary ad-
ditional authorization may not De
given the commission by mutual con-
sent of the parties.
The only doubtful question remain
ing is as to Chili's willingness to fol-
low the lead of Argentina in giving
additional authorization to the bound
airy commission. This doubt is rather
a serious one, for several days have
since Argentina made the pro-
position and Chill has not yet signttied
that the proposition is acceptable.
on the contrary, while not specifically
declining, limitations have reached
the authorities here that Chilli did not
look with favor upon the latest move
of Argentina, but regarded it as an in
terruption Of the negotiations which
had been satisfactorily progressing up
to that time. If this proves to be pre-
liminary to Chili's rejection Of Argen-
tlna's latest move, then the crisis VIII
become more acute than ever before.
