FILIPINO VENGEANCE
On Natives Who Enter the Service of
the Americans.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Many F'ilipinos
who accept service under the Ameri-
can rule are visited with awful VEN
geance by their fellow cClntrymen.
Records of a case have been received
at the war department in which three
native policemen. sent from Laoag to
San Nicholas Ilocos Norte, for duty at
the latter point, were seized and bound
by an armed band of Filipino out
laws. They were taken before priest
to be confessed. then flung alive into a
well after being hacked with bolos. The
assailants then filled up the well with
loose earth. One of the band who was
brought to trial was sentenced to be
hanged.
Another native policeman met death
at the hands of an outlaw band in the
barrio of San Antonia La Guna prov
ince The outlaws were lying in ambush
awaiting the passing of the patrol of
three policemen. and upon their ap-
proach the waiting Filipinos sprang
out and captured one of the three. a
few days later his body was found in
a neighboring river weighted with
heavy rocks and showing wounds
through the heart and in the neck. Two
members of the outlaw band, who
were captured. were sentenced by a
military commission to be hanged. Two
Filipinos who took part in the murder
of an unknown native accused of be-
ing an American spy. by beheading the
body and burying it in the city of
Manila were sentenced to be hanged
Another outlaw band seized a native
man and woman for no apparent mo-
tive and killed them by striking them
with clubs on the back of their necks
Mariana Zales, native member of
the band. when brought to trial, gave
the following rather vague explanation;
They were relatives, uncle and aunt OF
mine, and ! had to do 1t to save my
life" The military commission which
tried him found him guilty of murder,
but sentenced him TO confinement at
hard labor for twenty years. General
Chaffee approved the sentence and ful-
Iy concurred in the remarks of the de-
partment commander in forwarding the
papers in the case. that the sentence
was inadequate.

DENIAL OF A REPORT
By Both General Chaffee and Acting
Governor Wright-Whatever May
Have Occurred in the Provinces
There Has Always Been Friendli-
ness at Headquarters in Spite of
Differences of Opinion.

Manila. Dec. 29.-Ganeral Chaffee,
when questioned today by a CORES
pondent of the Associated Press con-
cerning the alleged friction between the
civil and military authorities in the
Philippines. said that absolutely no
such friction existed. and that perfect
harmony prevailed between the two
authorities. General Chaffee said the
only occasion when there had been any
thing apprca ching a friction was in the
matter of the habeas corpus proceed
ings in the case of Oakley Brooks. and
upon that occasion Il solution of the
difficulty satisfactory to both authori-
ties had been found. General Chaffee
said he and the members OF the COM
mission have at times differed in their
views. but these differences were of
purely personal opinion.
General Chaffee further explained
that every time the slightest friction
had arisen in the provinces between
the two authorities he invariably or
dered the military to surrender to the
civil authorities, and he said the rela-
tions of those authorities throughout
the provinces where they frequently
hold opposite opinions. would in no way
interrupt the existing cordial relations
at Manila. where both were working
toward the sane goal. namely the paci-
fication and the welfare of the Philip
pines.
General Chaffee concluded by saying
that he thought the prospect of sub
DUNG the insurrection in all places
was promising. When Acting Governor
Wright was questioned in this same
matter he said: Where men of sense
are at the head of affairs there is no-
likely to be much cause for alarm or
friction
Governor Wright has a great admira-
ton for General Chaffee. whom he
considers to be a man of sound COM
mon sense He said although he and
General Chaffee frequently differed
radically upon various subjects, still
the most smicable relations were main
tanned under all circumstances Refer
United States Philippine commission
during the last year. Governor Wright
said: out of darkness has come light.
and immense and wondrous strides
have taken place. A year ago every
thing outside of Manila was practical

inces where the insurrection still ex-
lists. everything is in a most flourish
ing condition. In 300 miles from Manila

These same conditions apply to the

Mills Closing Despite Untitled Orders
Because of Car Shortage-Grain
and Provision Movements at Chi
cago.

Chicago Dec. 29.-Several of the
large flour mills at Minneapolis have
shut down, and more are to follow
unless the car situation is relieved.
Millers claim to have a large number
of untitled orders on their books, but
that it is impossible to make the ship
ments. Wheat receipts are also falling
of, only 3.114 cars going to Minneapo-
lis and Duluth last week, compared
with 4.519 the week before and 2,Sl2
year ago. 1t is said that the only lines
able to give the northwestern millerS
and wheat shippers any relief are the
Milwaukee, the Omaha and the 500
Line. and even their equipment is SO
limited that it does very little good.
1t is said that some of the mills are
loading flour in Great Northern and
Northern Pacific cars that come in
loaded with wheat. which can under no
circumstances be loaded for the east,
but they are filed up with flour and
sent out and chances taken on getting
the flour transferred into cars than
can run to the east. If they are not
transferred they furnish temporary
storage for the mills. so it helps the
situation to a certain extent
Primary receipts of wheat continue
to fall off-only 4.121. 900 bushels being

6.331, 900 the week before and 4.724, 900

weather and the bullish ideas of hold
ers are the causes OF the decreased

the roads in the spring wheat country.

Chicago is in healthier condition than

winter wheat is being sold to go to

there is considerable being done in

$4,000 bushels of corn in all positions,
and it is expected that this corn will
be taken and moved into the Feeding

had in the southwest. As an illustra-
ton of conditions there ii is only neces-
sary to recall the fact that a lot of 800

There are many INDECENT sufferers
from tuberculosis who at present are
not able to escape from climates where
they are slowly dying. The expense oc
a trip to Arizona for recuperation is
too great for them, and they cannot
go there with any hope OF finding oc-
cupation. for the fear of the disease
is such that no man will willingly em-
ploy a person who is known to be
suffering from tuberculosis. To obviata
this we intend in the near future to
establish some industry at the colony
by means OF which poor persons will be
enabled to gain livelihood
AT the congress of specialists in
tuberculosis held in London last July
it was agreed that the climatic treat
ment was the only possible cure for
tuberculosis. There are more sufferers
from this insidious disease in this
country than the majority of people
imagine. 1t is the aim of the colony

THE PLANS OF PEACE

The Compulsory Arbitration Dele

ly Toward the United States Dele
gates to the Conference.

Mexico City. Dec. ga slight diff
Guilty in the Pan-American conference
has arisen over the matter of arbitra-
ton. 1t had been arranged that all the
delegates were to adhere to the Hague
convention, and all the nations in IA
vor OF compulsory arbitration were to
sign another treaty among themselves,
embodying that principle. The latter
group say that they agreed to this ar
rangement as a compromise. but with
a distinct understanding that both
plans were to be presented to the con-
ference.
Now it seams the United States dele
gates and others who are in favor of
the Hague convention pure and simple
wish to exclude the compulsory plan
from the conference. leaving those ma
tions which favor it to sign outside and
Independently OF the conference. This
the compulsory party will by no means
agree to and two or three of them told
an Associated Press correspondent this
evening that unless both plans were
presented they will refuse to sign the
arrangement for joining the Hague
convention.
They say they are not admirers of
that convention and they only agreed
to adhere to IL on the condition that
their own plan should also have the
sanction of the conference. while they
recognize. of course, that it would only
be obligatory upon the signatory ma
tions The matter is a minor one, but
unless satisfactorily settled by the con-
ference upon the part of the friends of
the Hague convention the action of
the Pan-American conference in the
matter of arbitration will by no means
be as harmonious as expected.

OF all the stories which have been
told about this country none have been
quite SO ridiculous at this one. While
il is true that some private houses
will not receive persons suffering from
tuberculosis or any other disease, none
of the larger hotels or boarding houses
refuse to receive the sick. unless their
condition is such that they had better
be in hospital. AS to Mr.. Hennessey's
scheme nobody could be found here last
night who had heard of it. There have
been many projects for founding sani-
toriums for tuberculosis patients. not
because they were ostracized else
where. but because they could be given
better attention in a place especially
designed for them
There was last summer some legisla-
tion by the city council throwing GER
tain restrictions about those afflicted
with tuberculosis. but ii was not pop
ularly received, and has never been en-
forced to such an extent that anybody
has complained of having undergone .
hardship in consequence of IL.

The Rest Cure Advised.

The busy woman, says Harper's
Bazaar, needs to conserve her nervous
force, and to increase it by every pos
sible means. If her health is excel
lent, she will be greatly profited by
moderate exercise, but she will find it
greatly to her advantage to take this
at first in small and divided doses,
only increasing the amount after days
of moderation and rest. If, on the con-
trary, her winters work leaves her
not ill, ut exhausted, tired out,
complete rest for one or two weeks,
taken out of doors, is frequently the
best prescription that can be given.
The amount and duration of this rest
cannot be absolutely specified here,
as it must depend upon individual
needs. In general, at least a week Of
t1ying around" will be found very
profitable, in which short drives may
be taken, and 10-minute easy walk
in the cool of the day. Many will
improve best by adding a second week
of outdoors rest to the first, and in
terspersing. hours in the hammock
with a short ride on Wheel not eX-
ceeding 20 minutes at first, or couple
of holes on the golf course, or some
equally temperate method Of easy ex-
ercise.
