Awful cruelty OF One Band-chief and
Several Leaders 10 be hanRed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13,-Copies Of gen
eral orders from the Philippines recelV-
ed here show that large number of
native Filipinos have been convicted of
murder and other crimes and sentenced
to be hanged or to long terms OF i'm
p,isonment. In one case the accused
belo ged to an organized band, Whlch
under gha name of "Guardia de Honor"
had for its declared object the murder
of peaceful and unoffending victims, IL
found necessary to crafty either de-
Sire for revenge or feeling of envy
against the rich. "These inhuman meth
DDS" says General Macarthur, remove
all the participants, whether chief or
willing follower of the bands, from the
pale of the law and place them among
that class of cowardly and secret assas-
sins which all civilized men the world
over hold to be enemies of mankind
A native named Vincente Prado es-
tablished a camp in strong position
near Rasario in Union province. There
he entrenched his camp and erected
buildings for a band of armed outlaws
which he gathered about him. Recent
ly two Americans were taken into the
camp as prisoners and for no assigned
reason ether than that "they were enc
mics" they were ordered to Instant
death. Shortly afterward two Iggoro-
tes, man and a woman. were taken
before Prado, and charged with being
American spies. Without any attempt
at proof of or form of trial, they were
to be Immediately executed. In
both instances Prado personally wit
messed the bloody execution of his or
ders by members of his outlaw band,
who used their bolos on the defenseless
prisoners. On another occasion Prado
his band to attack and burn
the pueblo of San Jacinto and to arrest
and, ''if he resisted" kill the president
of Rosario. In pursuance of these
orders the president Of Rosario and
his son were killed and 103 houses de-
stroyed by fire. Prado and his chief
outlaw assistants were sentenced to be
hanged. Another native sentenced to
be hanged was Pedro Lachica This
man was one Of band of natives who,
themselves to be police
men, entered at night time several
houses and by threats and the use of
and surrender, They then tied the
arms of the men behind their backs and
beat them with bolos and robbed the
houses Of money, jewelry and other val
lables.

TND1GNATION IN ENGLAND.
Excited on All Sides by DeWet's killing
the Peace Envoy.

London. Jan. 14-4:30 a. m.-The brief
report of the fate of the three members
of the peace commission who were sent
to see General De Wet excites the deep
est Indignation on all sides. One or
two papers express a hope that Lord
Kitchener has been misled by false
Kaffir reports, but 1T is generally felt
that he would not have reported the
matter to the war without undoubted
evidence.
The Daily Mail heads the report with
the word Murder" and declaims
against any further attempt to coax the
enemy into submission DE Wet has
placed himself outside the pale of hui
rlanity," says the Daily Mail, "and not
proclamations, but large reinforcements
must be our watchword.
The Morning Post says This marks
the point where the guerilla phase ends
and the bandit phase begins
All the papers appeal strongly to the
government to hurry forward reinforce
ments, since it is evident that the Boer
lead 7rs have now become desperate and
Cancellation Is quite useless.
The Pretoria correspondent OF the
Daily Mail announces the return to Pre-
toria, of Mr. Pretorus, a former presi-
dent of the late South African republic,
from a futile endeavor to persuade the
Boer leaders to surrender.
Details of the attacks upon kaalfon-
tein and Kuursontein stations show
that there were only small garrisons of
about one hundred and twenty men at
each station The British had excellent
trenches, which enabled them to with
stand the attacks until the Beers, hav-
ing ascertained that reinforcements
were coming to the garrisons, retired.
AT Zuurfontein a party of Beers in
khaki succeeded in capturing a British
patrol of eight men. whome they sub
liberated. The railway and
telegraph lines will be speedily restored.
No further news has been received re-
garding the invasion of Cape Colony.
Sir Alfred Miner writes to a corre-
spor dent in England saying: "It will be
useless for me to notice the wholesale
lies that are spread about concerning
me. If attempt to do so, 1 would have
no time for anything else

of temporal independence passed
through Paris to-day, accompanied by
two hundred pilgrims en- route for Lon
don. He declined to be interviewed re-
garding the sentiments he had express
ed to Leo XIII, saying that he expected
to publish statement in the course of
a few days.
