CRIMES IN PHILIPPINES.
Record of Atrocious Deeds Commit
 ted by Natives.


 Washington, Sept. 19.-An official mail just received from the Philippines con- tains the records of a number of atrocious crimes committed by natives who were tried before military commissions.
 An interesting case is that of Eroberto Gumban, an insurgent captain, tried for Pueblo of Pavia. He was convicted by the military commission and sentenced to be hanged. but General Chaffee released the prisoner on the ground that his action in the premises was in accordance with civilized warfare. Gumban proceeded to the pueblo of Pavia with thirty soldiers for the purpose of attacking the Ameri- can garrison. The presidente demanded Gumban's intention. He was answered that the garrison was to be attacked. He protested and attempted to retire. Cap tain Gumban informed him that he was a prisoner and grasped him by the shoulder. The presidente seized the cap- tain by the throat, whereupon the latter killed him.
 General Chaffee, in reviewing the case said that the accused was acting under a regular commission and was part and parcel of the hostile army. "The appre- hension of deceased as prisoner" says General Chaffee, ito prevent the defeat of a military movement against a garri- son of the enemy, was a legitimate act of war The deceased resisted arrest at his own risk, and although the resist ance was a brave and admirable act, and the death which resulted Is to be de- plored a feloniOus killing cannot be dis torted from the facts"
