SOUTH PARK CUTOFF
SAID TO BE ASSURED

Denver, Dec. 2O.-The Denver News
this morning says:
Arrangements have been made with
Senators Clark, Kearns and others In
terested in the new Salt Lake-Los An
geles road, which will insure direct
railroad connection with the Pacific
coast. The project is one of the most
gigantic railroad schemes developed in
the West since the construction of the
first overland roads and demonstrates
not only the Importance of Denver as
reckoning point on the railroad map
of the West, but indicates that not
withstanding the apparent supremacy
of George Gould and his associates in
the railroad world of the state that the
Colorado 4 Southern and the Denver Il
Southwestern will insure to the people
of the state the competition which is
necessary to the fullest development of
the great expanse of country In the
area Of the Centennial state.
Frank Trumbull, president of the
Colorado Il Southern company, re-
turned yesterday from New York City,
where he has been In consultation with
William X. Gillett and other stockhold-
ers of the Denver 4 Southwestern, and
the deal for the construction of the cut
of is understood to have been prac-
tically completed. The new road will
give the Colorado & Southern, together
with the Midland and Midland ter
minal, direct line to the gold camp
and will enable the Colorado & South
ern, with the Midland. to secure di-
rect line from Denver to the west via
Lake George, on the South Park line
and the Colorado Midland. The latter
road Is owned half and half by the
Colorado Southern and the Rio Grande,
which warrants the Southern In max
Ing an expenditure to develop the
property.
The announced construction of the
cutoH Will probably revive the old
project of the Rio Grande for cutoff
from Acequia to Salida. This would
anord the Rio Grande direct route
west and would result In competition
between the Colorado & Southern and
the Gould road

DUpLICITY OF FILIPINOS
DENOUNCED BY GEN.. CHAFFEE

"Onc undeniable truth" says Gen

Islands has not more than the merest
rudimentary conception Of his indi-
yidual rights and duties us IL man, and
no one knows this so well as the willy
chiefs who use him for their nefnriOus
purposes"
Six of the seven natives were SEN
fenced to be hanged, but General
Chaffee committed the sentences OF
three Of them to imprisonment ut hard
labor for life.
The seventh native, Leonardo de Po-
soy, a regularly ordained priest. asked
for and was granted separate trial.
AT his trInl, de Posoy. who was held
to be the chief agent of the Tnytay
murders. took advantage of the loop
hole which appeared 10 be afforded by
his position ns priest, by contending
that while the participators In the
wholesale murders in Taytay would
confess the same at confessional he
was compelled by his sacred office to
keep silence.
General Chaffee pronounced this de-
fense of no value, saying that the
''cOuIesSlOIlul uOtS uOt my upoh any

of suppresslng knowledge of crimes be-
Ing committed by third parties, the con-
summation OF which could have been
prevented without violating the Sc
crecy of the confessional" In this
particular case. 1t is said, the knowl-
edge of the crimes was brought direct
ly to the priests notice and was not
gained through the confessional.
General Chaffee confirmed the sen
tence of death imposed by the court
martial which tried de Posoy. hut com.
muted the sentence to twenty years
imprisonment at hard labor, "out of re-
spect for his calling and of the great
religious organization of which he is
a most unworthy member" Said Gen
eral Chaffee in concluding his review:

Washington. Dec. 21.-"History af.
fOrds no parallel Of a whole people thus
practically turning war traitors and IN
the genius Of no other people was ever
found such mnsterful powers Of Be-
crecy and discrimination: but 1t is need
less to say that no powerful state was
ever erected or ever can be erected Oh
such immoral and unenlightened foun-
dations."
This statement Is made by General
ChafYee, military governor Of the Phil
oppines, in review OF one OF num-
ler of court martial cases In the is
lands. the records OF which have been
received Mt the War Department.
The case which brought forth this
comment from General Chaffee was
one wherein seven natives were tried
Jointly on n charge of murder. The
accused were soldiers In the insurgent
army. and after defeat by the Ameri-
can army In the field abandoned even
the show of open opposition such as
the half-uniformed guerrilla bands
make, and took up their residence at
Taytay. In Luzon. n place protected

Then, following the proclaimed pol
hy of the Insurgent chiefs, they pro-
ceeded to organize secretly u Doio
band. When authorization had been
given to establish civil government the
band came forward under the leader
ship of resident padre and were
elected municipal officers of Taytay.
Then ensued a remarkable attempt TO
serve two masters In nll lawful mat
tiers they served with due appearance
of loyalty to the American govern
ment. while at the same time they Ia
bored secretly and diligently in the In
terests OF the insurrection.
This dual form OF government, says
General Chaffee. existed everywhere,
In strongly garrisOned cities like Ma
nila as well rs the smallest barri0. The
municipal officers of Taytay next en-
tered upon n series Of murders and con-
tinued their deadly work until the
growing number OF mysterious disap-

Washington, Dec. 21.-The objection
of Admiral W. T. Sampson to that por-
tion of Admiral Dewey's report Of the
Schley court OF inquiry, In which he
says Admiral Schley was In command
mt the battle OF Santiago and entitled
to the credit for the victory. was filed
with Secretary Long yesterday. 1t Is
us follows:
New York, Dec. 10-Sir: AS counsel
for Rear Admiral Sampson. we have
the honor to request that the depart

strike out or specifically disapprove
thnt portion of Admiral Dewey's opin-
lon filed In connection with the proceed
ings Of the Schley court of inquiry, In
which he states his view to be that
Commodore Schley was In absolute
command ut the naval battle Of San
tiagO.
1. Commodore Schley was not in
command at that battle.
(n) The disposition OF the forces mt
the beginning Of the battle, according
to Commodore Schley's own state
ment, places Admiral Sampson In COM
mand.
The Brooklyn and the Vixen were the
westernmost ships OF the fleet; the 1n-
diana and Gloucester were the eastern
most. The New York was nearer to
both Of the latter than was the Brook
Ign, and notably at the time when the
Indiana was heavily engaged Mt the
beginning OF the action, and when the
Gloucester was engaged with the
Furor and Pluton. Commodore Schley
says: "The Indiana and the Glouces-

second in command. 1t is true that the
commandcr-ln-chief could not have
reached the most distant vessel by sig
nails. except by causing them to he re-
peated by an intermediate vessel-nn
entirely usual course-but 1t is equally
true that the second in command could
not have reached the remote vessels
OF the fleet Cnamely, the Indiana and
the Gloucester. without likewise re-
peating signals.
In this state of affairs, the regula-
tions of the navy and the customs of
the sea place the absolute command
and the full responsibility in the SEN
ior officer.
(b) The Brooklyn's maneuver during
the action destroys any claim TINT
Commodore Schley might have Ind to
the command. The facts us to the
loop are found by the court. The find
Ing and opinion show that to avoid
danger to his own ship he maneuvered
without warning to the rest of the
squadron. and in disregard Of the feet
formation.
9. The President Of the United States
and the Navy Department had decided
that Admiral Sampson was In com.
mnnd ut that battle. and Commodore
Schley second In command.
This fact was before the court: for
the secretary's letter to the Senate
dated February q, 1S90), states that the
Spanish squadron was destroyed by
our fleet under his (Sampson's) COM
mand." and the advancement Of Com
modore Schley was proposed In recoe-
milton OF his services as next In rank
at the victory OF Santiago.
3. The question ns to who command
ed at Santiago was not referred to the
court for consideration, and evidence
bearing on the point was excluded.
