LETTER COMES FROM JAQUA
Tells How the FiIipinos Attempted to Murder Captain Rowan and Then Attacked Camp-They Were
 Routed and Town Burned.

Leavenworth, Kan, July "Details of the alleged offense of Capt. A. s. Rowan, the burning of Filipino town, for which he is to undergo investigation, has been received here in a letter from Private John E. Watson, of the Nineteenth Infan- try, dated Jaqua, Bohul Island, May 19. The letter says:
 "A native came into the post and walk ed over to Captain Rowans tent and looked in and found it empty, but when he started to go away he saw Corporal Daily standing few yards away. The spy took Corporal Daily for the captain, and, walking up to him, gave Daily a folded note. As Daly took the note to read it the spy drew out dagger and stabbed him to death.
 '"The insurgents had planned to rush in and cut the rest of us down during the confusion that would follow the captains death, but we coolly fell in , under arms and formed a skirmish line around the post. The insurgents thought they had Captain Rowan. so when the line met they found about 100 men in the bush. About fifty of the enemy were killed and about dozen taken prisoners. who were killed while trying to escape,
 "The men caught the spy who mur- dered Daily. They would have tortured him to death, but some man with cool CT head than the others shot the wretch in the head. The town was then burned and a few Filipinos killed"

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Tax Collector Dunn of Autauga County
 Shoots Himself While Cleaning Gun.

Prattville, July 7-(Special.)- of the most shocking accidents that has hap pened in this county for many years was witnessed at the home of P A. Dunn, tax collector of Autauga County, at 5 o'clock this morning. MT. Dunn it ap- pears, had finished his breakfast and gone out to clean up his pistol. leaving his family at breakfast. Suddenly the re- port of a pistol shot alarmed the family, who went out to see what the trouble was. They found that Dunn had been shot through the head and his brains were boxing from the hole made by the ball. From this wound he gradually sank dying in less than two hours after the accident. There is no doubt but that it was simply an accident from a failure of the pistol to shed all the cartridges when he intended the pistol should have done so. Mir Dunn leaves a wife and several children, who are comfortably situated on their farm about five miles from town. near Grandview.

 Birmingham has won majority of the games played with every team in the league except the three Tennessee clubs,

Roanoke, Va, June 29.-The flood Of
Wednesday night at Pocahontas did
not cause any loss of life so far as is
known. Water was three feet deep in
some sections of the town. The most
damage was to railroad tracks. 1t was
heavy downpour. but not a cloud
burst. The storm in Tazewell county
seems to have been worse than at first
thought. Each day brings meager de-
tails of the calamity which has be-
fallen that community. Dry Fork,
which has been entirely cut off from
outside communication since Saturday
up to this time has added three more
victims to the death list. Numerous
estimates have been made as to the
amount of damage in Tazewell county
to farm lands, mill property, resi-
dences. loss of crops and stock. but
nothing definite can be determined. 1t
is estimated at from s125,000 to $780,
900. The list of dead in Tazewell coun-
ty, so far as known, numbers twelve.
