make plain the methods pursued by the
insurgents to terrorize the native inhabi-

horrible atrocities committed upon the lat

We're sentenced to hard labor for thirty
years. In another case, under the orders
of a lieutenant colonel in the insurgent
forces, a native was seized, bound, and
made to sit down while a soldier held his
head and with knife cut his throat The
murderer was condemned to be hung. Most
OF the other cases were cases of the murder
of innocent Filipinos by alleged soldiers
and officers of the insurgent army, several
of whom are described as notorious bandits
and outlaws.
The Most AtrociOus Case.
The most atrocious case is that of Eusevio
Rojas. styling himself lieutenant of in
fantry in the insurgent forces under the
command of Alejandrino. a notorious out
law, who claimed to exercise summary
power over the lives and property of the
natives who did not bear arms against the
United States, and who conceived it to be
his duty to rob and murder peaceful and
law-abiding people living within his So
called military Jurisdiction. Going in ordi-
nary dress. and taking with him few fol-
lowers, he secretly seized his unsuspacting
neighbors. a man at time. and taking
them into the forest. he proceeded, in two
instances, to bury them alive. The wit

that they were compelled to dig the graves

RoJas denied his responsibility for the MUIR
