GRIMES IN PHILIPPINES.
Many Horrible Atrocities Committed
 in the Islands.

Washington, May 25.-Oficial papers received at the War Department from the Philippines give the details of many horrible crimes committed in the islands, for which the perpetrators were tried before military commissions convened fom time t0 time. Many of them or savage cruelty and pure wan tonness are unsurpassed. native named Flores led a detachment or about sixty Filipinos on piratical raid upon the Puebla of Trocin in Sorso- gon to plunder a colony of peaceful Chinese merchants. They met with no opposition, yet nevertheless hacked to death three inoffensive Chinamen. as- saulted another so murderously as to cause him to lose his left eye and arm. and carried off for ransom three others a Chinaman a native and a Spaniard. Flores was sentenced to be hanged.
 A native captain of insurgents in the army of the famous Alejandrino, seized a Filipino in the full vigor Of life and had him buried alive.
 A native policeman on duty on the Puebla of Misamis, on Mindinao ls- land, was seized by band of natives, tied to a post and beaten with gun. He was then taken out on the high way, where his assailants finished him with bolos and pinned on him paper bearing this inscription: "Countrymen Don't initiate nc, for I am an Amer icanista and have talked with Ameri- cans"
 One victim was made to stand on the brink of a grave dug for him and there stabbed to death.

PRESIDENTIAL PARTY RETURN
 ING TO WASHINGTON.
pr. Rixey Says That Mrs. Mckinley Will Probably Be Able to Stand the Trip Without Stop
 ping For Rest.

)acramento. May 25.-After leaving S. uFrancisco this morning the Presi- dents train ran through crowds at all the stations. Since the route of the teturn journey to Washington has been published, telegrams have poured in upon the President asking him to stop at almost every city and town. Secretary Cortelyou has uniformly re- sponded to those appeals that the President was going back to Washing ton by the most direct route as quietiy as possible and that only such stops as the necessities of the railroad would require would be made. It is believed that the train will arrive in Washing ton Thursday morning but the hour has not been fixed IS the transporta- ton arrangements beyond Chicago have not been completed.
 Mrs Mckinley showed no ill-effects from her journey up to the time Sac ramento was reached, and Dr. Rixey believes she will be able to stand the trip to Washington without stopping for rest along the route.

WILL NOT BE
 PROSECUTED CarmOn and Carranza
 Will Go Free. BUSINESS REASONS GIVEN
Conviction of the Manila Mer-
 chants Was Assured.
MacArthur Threatens to Send Strong Force Against Malvar and Cailles Unless They Quickly
 Surrender to Americans.

Manila. May 25.-The prosecution against D. M. Carmen. Senor Carranza and others. accused of trading with ths insurgents, has been abandoned. The military authorities consider that al- though the convictions of a number o1 Manila merchants would be practically certain. were the investigations ccn- tinued. their prosecution would be in- expedient, as the consequent damages to business would outweigh the good accomplished.
 Provost Marshal. General Davis, who has reviewed the testimony in the Carman cases. said to the correspon- dent of the Associated Press that Willie Carmen could be convicted of trading with the insurgents, 1t would be unjust to punish him when nearly every rad CT in Manila is guilty of similar prsc- tices.
 Unless Generals Cal:les and Malvar surrender quickly General MacArthor will concentrate strong force Gf American troops and surround them.
 Cailles is vainly hoping for guar antee from the American authorities that he will not be tried for the nur- ders and atrocities he is alleged 10 have committed. Malvar is boas;ing that he will be the last insurgeat to surrender.
 The attempt of General Hughes to accomplish the surrender of the insur- gent leader Luchan, on the E'lsnd of Samar. is without result.

OIL FIELD IN ALABAMA
OPINION OF CHIEF GEoLoGIsT OF GOVERNMENT.
Robert T. Hill Says It is Possible That the Texas Tertiary strata
 Extend Eastward In- to This State.

Washington, May 25.-Robert T. Hill Chief Geologist of the United States Geological Survey. has returned from an extended geological investigation in the Texas oil fields and has embodied the results in a report which says:
 ''The importance of this oil field is far greater than at present can be de- scrihed or estimated. It means not only a cheap fuel supply to the largest State in area in the Union. but owing to its proximity to tidewater. it prom ises an export trade such as exists mo- where else in the world. Preparations are being made to sink hundreds o1 wells. and very soon the present output of 800. .000 barrels day may be quad rupled.
 Tt is entirely within the limit of probability that the oil will be found at many places throughout the coastal prairie. especially in its southern ex- tension toward the Rio Grande and in the northeastern State of Mexico at Tamalipus. The outcrop of the ter tiary formations in Southwe-. Texas,
 
 in Wilson, Atascosa, McMullen. Duvall and other counties, Is naturally rich in oil. and the practical oil men are risk ing their money in experimenting in that region. AS the oil-bearing ter tiary strata extend east of the Mis- sissfppi and Alabama, 1t Is not beyond possibility the oil may be found in these States.
 Tt is impossible now to state ex- actly the extent of the oil-yielding bed which supplies the Beaumont well. and this can be only determined by experi- ments.
 "rhe area of profitable exploitation of the Beaumont oil fields is confined between the San Jacinto and the Sa- bine Rivers, east of the Houston and West Texas Railroad and South of Oil City. Nagadoches County. This area may be extended or restricted by future exploitation.
 Tt is very probable that other oil fields may be discovered in the coastal plain between Beaumont and Lam- pasas. Here lies a vast territory un- derlain by the oil-bearing eocene for nations, which has not been exploited"

BRIGHT METEOR SEEN.
Inhabitants of Demopolis Witness Remarkable Astronomical
 Phenomenon

Demopolis. May 25.-(Special. J. Thursday night at 1 minute to Il, a meteor of extraordinary brilliancy passed over this place. The color was of light green. It left but little trail. The glow it made was so bright as to cause the trees and roads to be lighted up as brightly as an arc lamp would do at eighty yards distance.
 The direction in which it was travel ing was east to south, so it was falling in the line between Demopolis and Troy. or even perhaps as far off as Abbeville.
 It is possible that some of the many readers of The Advertiser may have seen this meteor, and could describe in what part of the sky they saw it begin and end its lumionus path, in which case it would be possible to de- termine it's height. From Montgomery I should say that the star appeared fairly high in the west, and disap- peared low in the south to northeast, but this is a pure guess.

Mob in Oklahoma Hangs Bill Camp
 bell to Telegraph Pole.
 Wichita, Kan, May 25.-A special to The Eagle says that Bill Campbell, a negro, was lynched at Pond Crek, Okla homa, at 10 o'clock tonight by a mob of 400 persons who broke down the jail, took him to the scene of his crime and hanged him to a telegraph pole. While en route to the place of execution the negro sang Nearer. My God to Thee" |" and other hymns.
 The crime for which Campbell was hanged was the fatal shooting of Deputy Sheriff George Smith. The negro. it appears. was using abusive language to several boys when Bill Fisher. white man .interfered. A row followed, the negro pulling two pistols. Deputy Sheriff Smith tried to arrest him, when the negro took deliberate aim and shot him through the right temple.
 At midnight Deputy Sheriff Smith was dying.

TROUBLE AT FOSHEE
GOVERNOR ASKED TO ORDER
 OUT TROOPS.
Employees of an Escambia County Lumber Company Threaten to Strike and are Riotous.
 Details are Meagre.

Governor Sanford was advised late yesterday afternoon that riot was i'm minent at Foshee. Escambia County and was requested to order a military company to proceed to that point.
 The information and request came from the Alger-Sullivan Lumber Com pany of Foshee, and the Governors Private Secretary immediately com municated over long-distance telephone with Sheriff Raley of Escambia County
 Foshee Is on the new extension oi the Louisville and Nashville Railroad between Flomaton and Repton, and is remote from Brewton. The sheriff ex' pressed surprise at the information re- ceived from the Governors office, but said he would give the matter his i'm mediate attention. The sheriff was mo- tified that the Governor would expect him to uphold the peace and dignity of the State, and that in order to do this he could call upon the military com panies located at Brewton and Ever green.
 Telegrams were then sent by the Adiutant- General to the commanders oi the companies at Brewton and Ever green ordering them to be in readiness and to respond to a call from Sheriff Raley.
 The Advertiser made an effort to com- municate with its correspondents at Brewton and Evergreen, but they could not be reached.
 No further information was received last night at the Governors office from Sheriff Raley, and the opinion was ex- pressed that he had proceeded with his deputies to Foshee, which is some dis tance from Brewton.
 The lumber company advised the Governor that the soldiers should be sent to Pollard, station on the main line of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and 1t is presumed that they would be expected to march through the country to the lumber mill.
 It was learned last night that trouble has been brewing at Foshee for some time. The Alger-Sullivan Lumber Company, which is owned by Gen. R. A. Alger of Michigan and MT. J. J. Sullivan of Pensacola, is one of the largest lumber concerns in South Alabama. The company employs something over 800 men. A large number of the blacks and whites be- long to labor organization. and ii is said they have recently been visited by walking delegates" as a result of which & general strike has been threatened.

Columbia, S. C., May 25.-There was . spirited debate at Gaffney today be- tween United States Senators B. R. Tillman and John L. McLaurin. As a denoument both of them have put their resignations in the hands of Gov ernor McSweeney.
 They have resigned. however. with the understanding that they are to go before the people of the State in a joint canvass and the sentiment of the people is to be expressed in the vote in a Democratic primary to be held sensational, for Tillman was last gum mer elected for six years and McLaurin has yet two years. The result of the issue means that if Tillman is sustain ed, McLaurin's seat will be vacant; if McLaurin is successful he will succeed to Tillman's long term.
 McLaurin had been invited to Gaf- ney and friends of Tillman asked him to come too. McLaurin accused Till man of attacking him, when Tillman Is in bomb-proef. The latter declared that he would resign and meet Mo- Laurin on the stump. McLaurin agreed to the proposition.
 Senator Tillman later submitted a written proposition, which was accep- table to Senator McLaurin. except that the latter wanted the campaign to be held in October and November instead of this summer. McLaurin stated that this was suggested on account of his poor health.
 Tillman No Longer Dictator.
 There were several proposals sub- mitted between the two. Senator Mo Laurin wanted the race to be confined to Senator Tillman and himself. The latter declared that he could not -dic- tate to the State Democratic Executive Committee when the primary should bs held or how many candidates there should be.
 The dual resignation as finallyakor- warded to Governor McSweeney were accompanied by no conditions. It reads: .... r ,s"
 ''Sir--we hereby tender our resigna- tions as Senators for the State of South Carolina in the United States Senate. to take effect November 15, next.
 Yours respectfully" etc.
