CAPT. CoNNEuL's FATE IN THE
PHILIPPINES.
The Massacre of Balan e iga-More Than
Forty Americans Killed by the Fill
pinos in the Terrible Confict-The
Pscifcos Cannot be Trusted.

AS the American campaign against
the Sioux of the northwest had its Lit
tie Big Horn massacre, that OF the
British against the Zulus, its Issndula
and that of the British also against the
Matabeles its Buluwayo, SO the con-
fiict in the Philippines has it's nassa :
ere which will pass into history THAT
of Balangiga. When the assurances of
those in authority that the rebellion
of the natives was over were most con-
fident, along comes the report of a
slaughter worse than anything since
Aguinaldo's proclamation of two years
ago. Part of the snbjugating force,
grown contemptuous OF its foes and
consequently careless. is surprised and
grief comes to two score American
homes.
For some time the Ninth regiment,
which covered itself with glory in Cuba
and in the Filipino campaign, had been
stationed on the island of Samar,
where the insurgents are said to have
been more active than in any other
part of the archipelago. While at
breakfast Company c was surprised by
400 Of the insurgents whom they had
believed friendly, with the result that
40 Of the men and three officers were
killed. Before the insurgents could get
away the Americans killed 40 of them.
One of the victims was Thomas w.
Connell, captain Of Company C, resi-
dent of New York. who had seen gal
liant service with the Ninth during all
its campaigns. Capt. Connell was 20
years of age.
1t would appear from the reports
that more activity on the part of the
Americans is necessary to suppress the
tnsurrection. An officer of the Ninth

Leslie's Weekly. William McKinleys
most vigorous battle was his contest
for the speakership with Thomas B.
Reed, in 1890. which Reed won. Ac-
cording to custom, Dir. Reed made his
distinguished opponent chairman OF
the ways and means committee, and
thus it was that the protective tariff
measure drafted by that COMMITTEES,
largely through the influence of Mr..
Mckinley, came to be popularity known
as the Mckinley bill This made
Mckinley the champion of the work
ing masses, the candidate of his party
for president and finally gave him a
triumphant election and reelection for
the Office of chief magistrate. At the
Republican national convention at
Philadelphia. little over a year ago,
the party leaders of New York insisted
that Governor Roosevelt must accept
the tender of the vice presidency. He
resolutely declined, insisting that he
was entitled to reelection to the gov
ernorship. The party leaders of New
York, aided by those of Pennsylvania
and several other states, forced the
nomination of Roosevelt, and then
compelled his reluctant acceptance.
Scarcely six months have elapsed since
his Inauguration, and he is now the
president of the United States, with
nearly a full term to serve. This is
destiny, and who shall say that the
Fates are always unkind?
