Victoria, B. c. Nov. 1o.-Among the
arrivals by the steamer Empress OF
China from the Orient was Lieutenant
l.. Il. Allison of the United States
Navy, who was OH his way home from
Manila. Speaking of the massacre OF
the members of the Ninth infantry at
Samar he said but the natives had
grown to like the colored troops who
had been stationed there, ana when
the Ninth arrived II was thought by
the Americans that the same friendly
feeling would he shown to them and
the guard was not as strictly Kept us
it otherwise would have been.
The night before the massacre the
village presidente came to Captain
Connell and before the padre declared
that 1t would take 100 more bombres
native lubOrers) to do certain pioneer
work. He did not have the men and
begged the Indulgence Of the army cap
tain. Honest and true In the legit-
innate discharge Of his duty. Captain
Connell said: DO the best you can.
Get any nntive who will work, but
clear away the underbrush.'
Just after daybrenk the natives with
bolos to cut underbrush began coming
into camp. Then the massacre began.
The last underbrush man killed the
sentry, the church bell rang. the sol
diers went to breakfast below the floor
that held their arms; the Insurgents
separated-half went up stairs ana
shot down, and the other half went
into the mess room and murdered the
unarmed soldiers by force OF numbers.
Not one of the survivors turned his
back upon the scene of carnage until
all was lost. their officers fallen, their
comrades slaughtered and terrible
vengeance executed upon tie enemy.
They then saved themselves and their
wounded men.

POLITICAL PULLS WILL NOT
INFLUENCE APPOINT MENTS

and representatives have had some dis
appointment because the persons i'll
whom they are interested have not re-
ceivd the appointments and stations
applied for by them, but the admins
trltion as Il whole is evidently of the
opinion that the good sense and Judg
ment of public men will lead to the
same conclusion as that arrived nt by
the President and secretary of war;
that is. If Il system of records be thor
oughly established ut the War Depart
ment. showing the progressive work or
officers from year to year. it VIII be
far better for the officers and men. hs

ence The appeals of individuals 10
their congressman for their personal
assistance in the matters above enu-
mernted necessitates public men CIV
ing up Il great deal of their time In
locating the proper office at which TO
apply for information and the filing OF
appeals. This takes them away from
their legitimate duties while Congress
is in session. and also interferes great
ly with the public administration OF
the departments. 1t is fully recoS-
nized by public officials that the proper
men in the first instance to establish
the character of an applicant for office
are the senators and representatives
from their own home, and it Is emf
ncntly just and proper that their infiu-
encc should be respected and tlry
should be responsible for the character
of the persons recommended for Office;
but once in the public service. 1t is
only fair to the administration that not
only army officers. but all other classes
of public office holders, should rely
upon their own merits and not upon
the further use of political influence"

in his quarters by the attackers pour

from the window. down among his
guards, but the guards had all been
slaughtered. He was struck down by
many bolos almost as soon as lie struck
the ground. Not satisfied with killing
IAN, the assassins hacked his body
into bits, severing the head. upon
which they piled paper and sticks OF
wood. setting them ntire to render the
face unrecognizable. The body. how
ever. was identified by Lieutenant
Drouillard's detachment when came
down from Basey.
Separated from their weapons, most
of the rank and file fought like heroes
with table knives, stones. clubs, ana
such rude weapons as chance threw in
their way. 1t was bitter fate that
befell the black-a-moors who closed
with the Americans before they had
received their death wounds. Some of
the native dead We're buried by their
own crew before they fled. but Colonel
De Russey ordered 100 more TO be
thrown into Il trench.
"A rifle in the hands of the first ser
gcant of the company rendered terrible
account. The sergeant. who is now in
the Tocablan hospital. killed the faith
