A QUESTION OF vERACITY.
Mr.. Allen Denies That Heistand Ever
Spoke TO Him About stock In
Hemp Company.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Mr. Charles
H. Allen, former assistant secretary
of the navy and later governor of
Porto Rico, was witness Saturday
before the senate military affairs COM
mittee in the Heistand investigation.
He declared in the most emphatic
manner that he never had had any
connection with the proposed hemp
company. He added that he had not
taken and had not been asked to take
any stock in such company or com
bhation. He also asserted that in
no circumstances would he have TAX
en- stock or engaged in any such bust
ness. This testimony contradicted
that of Col. Heistand who had said
that he (Heistand) had approached
Assistant Secretary Allen and asked
him to take stock and Allen said he
would IL it were all right.

THE RANSOM FUND.
Liberal Responses Made TO the APP
peal for Ala to secure Release
of Miss stone.

Boston, Oct. THE urgency of the
| case of Miss Stone, the missionary held
for ransom by brigands in Bulgaria,
brought together the members of the
prudential committee of the American
board for two hours Sunday. Later the
committee issued statement based
upon the views of President Samuel
r. Capen, of the board, and the
secretary, Rev. DIR. Judson Smith, as
the result of their visit to Washington
Saturday. Both gentlemen had inter-
views with President Roosevelt and the
officials of the state department. 1t
was made plain to them, they told the
prudential committee, that the only
certain way to secure the release of
Miss Stone and save her life would be
the payment of the ransom. The COM
mittee was informed that the govern
ment, by reason of constitutional re-
striction, is unable to pay the ransom.
The committee was also made aware of
the fact that the American board has
no money with which to save Miss
Stone. The only practical way, there
fore, was shown to be popular sub
scription, which already has been
started. The committee heartily APP
proved this and began sending tele-
grams to many parts of the country
urging subscriptions. The committee
says that in view of the spirit with
which the appeal is received there is
strong ground for the hope. that the
amount will be obtained speedily. In
every possible way the American board
will cooperate both by gift and by So
licitation. President Capen says that
the government at Washington, both
the president and the state depart
ment, have done, are doing and will
continue to do all that is in their power
to secure the release of Miss Stone.
The firm of Kidder. Peabody & Co.,
which is handling the fund, kept its
Office open Sunday. Late in the after
noon statement of the days receipts
was made. the total being $4,325.75,
with 500 additional in pledge. At the
Park Street church, Rev. DR.. Withrow
presented the case of Miss Stone
strongly, assuring his hearers that il
the money is not used for her ransom
~ VIII pC W tue uouDl - dS
the chances are "that the United
States government will make the Turk
ish government pay heavy indemnity
for the outrage"
Just how much money has been
given to the fund for the ransom of
Miss Stone is not known. Those di-
recting the effort in her behalf hope
that the response throughout the
country will be liberal and that the
figure is fully 100000. if not the
necessary amount, which is $4,000
more.
Washington, Oct. THE secretary
of the American board of foreign
missions, in personal interview with
President Roosevelt, said he has posi-
tive information that unless the $11O,-
900 ransom is raised before Tuesday
Miss Ellen Stone. the American mis-
sionary captured by Bulgarian bril-
gands, will be killed on that day.

THE SAMAR MASSACRE.
spite of Precautions 10 Pre-
vent an Attack.

Manila, Oct. 7.-Maj. Morris c. Foote,
of the Ninth United States infantry,
who has returned here from the island
of Samar, was in Balangiga the day
before the disaster to company c. He
saws that Capt. Cornell had been fully
warned and had taken what he (Maj.
Foote) considered every necessary
precaution. Information that plot
was brewing among the Filipinos came
to Maj. Foote from priest, who said
that il was in the plans of the populace
at both Balangiga and Basey to attack
the garrisons, and that the Basey gar
rison was to be attacked from a cock
pit in the Fear of the barracks. Orders
were Immediately given to demolish
the cock pit and extra guards were
stationed.
There is intense feeling throughout
the army because of the massacre,
which would not be the case to any
such extent had ii been the work of or
binary insurgents. The latter might
have been expected to commit such an
outrage. Feeling is particularly in
tense in military circles because the
authors of the ma ssacre were pacificos,
most of whom had taken the oath of al
legiance and many of whom, including
the presidente of Balangiga, were ac-
tually holding Office. Some of the
after effects are already shown at
many points, particularly at Baulan
and Caloocan, in the provinces of Ba-
tangas and Manila, where disaffection
is manfesting itself, although it is not
likely to be allowed to go far. On the
other hand, the officers and troops at
all the garrisons throughout the archi-
pelago feel that the disaster conveys
lesson to themselves of the necessity
for increased vigilance.

TO PUNISH THE NATIVES.
Military Authorities to Deal Severely
with the Treacherous Peo-
pie of snmar.

Washington, Oct. last advices
from the Philippines indicate that the
military authorities intend TO take
prompt and vigorous measures for the
suppression of the insurrection in the
island Of Samar, and that attention
will be directed first to the summary
punishment of the treacherous natives
who took part in the massacre of CON-
pany c, Ninth infantry, at Balangiga.
BY direction of Adjt.-Gen. Corbin
report has been preparedAat the war
department briefly describing the is
land and its inhabitants, the military
operations that already have taken
place there for the pacification of the
people and the establishment of good
order and government. This report
is of timely interest in view of the ag-
gressive military policy to be observed
toward such of the natives as are dis
posed still to resist the authority of
the United States.
In the last mail report Of Gen. Kobbe,
department commander, he says that
upon the arrival of the Eleventh in
fantry from the United States, two
companies of the First infantry in the
island of Leyte will be moved to Samar,
which island will then be occupied by
the Third squadron, Ninth cavalry, and
two battalions OF the Ninth infantry.
Samar has been added to the military
department Of the Visayas and the
department commander is now there
in person directing the operations
against the insurgents, but no report
of these recent operations has been
received at the war department.
