TORTURED AND MURDERED.
AWFUL ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY
FILIPINO OUTLAWS-FOUR NATIVE
BOYS SHOT BY AN AMERICAN

Washington Oct. 22.-The records in twenty
court martial cases in which the charge was
murder have beer received IT the War Depart
ment from the headquarters OF the Division of
the Philippines. In the majority of cases SEN
tences Of death by hanging were imposed and
approved. The crimes bore features OF unusual
barbarity and cruelty In some SO marked as TO
warrant special mention. In Of the latter
1--WE natives. members OF an armed band OF out
laws. entered the home OF a native named
Ragudo, seized and bound his son. hanged him
up by rope and tied his father and mother
by their elbows 10 rafter. Then then de-
manded money OF the father. and. the forth
coming amount not being deemed sufficient.
they wrapped rags saturated with oil about his
feet and legs and set his clothes afire. For
two hours the torture continued. blows
from the butts of rifles flats OF bolos and fists
being raned on the helpless captive while, to
add 10 his sufferings. his young daughter was
struck down by blow her head from
bolo. 1T is difficult to believe" says General
Chaffee in his review OF this case. that human
depravity and degeneracy can sink to such
depths as shown in this fiendish deed" Ra-
guido fingered in agony from the effects OF his
torture for five days and then died. All five
OF the natives were sentenced TO death
Two American soldiers. Privates Charles r
White and Thomas II. Mathis, both OF Com
pany ii, 4th Infantry, were captured by the In
surgents. They finally passed under the charge
OF Esteban San Juan a colonel of insurgents
and the ranking officer in the nelghborhood of
Cavite He had them bound to trees and
strangled TO death with cords
From the records in one OF the cases 1t would
appear that depravity is not confined to the
Filipinos. Harry Cline employed as a teamster
in the United States army. while stationed at
Paranaque took bicycle ride into the country
one day and came upon four small native boys
gathering grass. with no other apparent
fee, "he proceeded to shoot these boys with his
revolver. woundng three and killing the fourth"
He was sentenced TO be hanged.
Perhaps the most interesting case reported
was that of Francisco Peralta, who the
leader of armed band of men living within
the lines of the United States forces near the
Province of Union. This band, while wearing
in the daytime the ordinary native dress and
seemingly following native occupations, spent
the night in numbering those of their own race
who were thought to be friendly to the Ameri-
cans. General Chaffee in approving the sem
tence of death imposed Peralta makes the
he spy, but because he had caused wanton
murder to be done. Even though q whole peo-
pie deliberately adopts method OF waging war
contrary to the recognized laws of war; he
said, those laws. following the enlightened and
humane sentiments of the most civilized nations
do not sanction that a sentence of determination
shall issue against a whole people"
