ANOTHER CONVICT SHOT.
Death Lessons the Ranks of the
Leuvenworth Fugitiyes.

LtuNenNoTth
Kansas City, Mo-. Nov. 11.--Anothef
of the twenty-six conyicts who escaped
from the military prison at Fort Leav.
enworth last week was laid low neal
Quenemo, forty miles southwest from
the penitentary, when Lawrence Lew
is, white, aged twenty, was fatally
wounded, receiving bullet in the back
while attempting to escape from the
city marshal of that place.
This makes a total of thirteen pris.
oners captured since the outbreak on
Wednesday last TO date three Of the
mutinous convicts have been killed,
and five, including two who made a
captive of Sheriff Cook of Topeka and
then escaped, have been wounded.
Lewis death will make the fourth
fatality
A horde of armed men are searching
for the captors of Cook, and it seems
impossible that they can get away.
Re-enforced by weapons taken from
a farmhouse and from the officer, they
are well prepared, however, to make
a fierce fight. They are known to be
desperate men, and unless the wounds
they received prove serious it is believ
ed they will not be taken alive.
Other posses are said to be pursuing
two different gangs of men within fifty
miles of the penitentiary, and further
captures are looked for during the day
Lawrence Lewis was received at tn,
pententiary in October, 1900, under {
five year sentence for larceny.

A MASSACRE AVERTED
Mindoro Insurgents Tried to Repeat
Tactics Of Samar Rebels.
CAUGHT A TARTAR, HOWEVER
Americans, Attacked While nt Break
fast, Had Their Arms With Them,
and Their Savage AssaiIants
Were Speedily Routed.

Manila, Nov. 11.-Maior William l..
Pitcher of the Eighth regiment of in
fantry, commanding the Mindoro expe-
dition, reports that the garrison of Alb
Ia de Hog was attacked Sunday by
force Of insurgents commanded by Le-
nocos.
The Filipinos apparently attempted
to repeat the Samar tactics, but the
Americans, who were breakfasting full
ly armed, completely routed the insur-
gents, who left five men dead on the
field, each having a rifle and ammuni-
ton. One American was seriously
wounded.
Captain Noyes of the Thirtieth infan.
try, commanding a detachment of fifty
men, has captured deserter named
Richter of the Sixth artillery, wearing
the uniform of an insurgent lieutenant.
Major Pitcher says he recently cap
tured three officers and large part of
an insurgent company, all fully armed.
1t is believed the insurgents recently
received an illicit supply Of munitions
of war.
discriminating evidence is accumulat-
ing against Gibson Easton, representa-
tive Of two Of the largest firms in Ma
Mia, who was recently expelled from
Samar on charge of dealing with the
Insurgents, and he will probably be ar
rested and tried. Lukban's commissary

ment with Lullban to furnish 500 sacks
of rice each yearly. He has given the
dates of the delivery to men now IN
Cebu. The authorities have not vet de
cided as to the extent Of the liabilities
of the firms.
The insurgents of Samar are flocking
nortllward. They are suffering great
ly from famine. Many isolated bolo
men have surrendered. Only fear caus
ed by Lukban's proclamation threaten
Ing with death those who surrender
prevents general submission of the in
surgents. But it is expected that this
will be secured in few days.
General Smith has ordered every
American soldier in the islands of Sa
mar and I.eyte never to be withou
arms. even ut mealtime. He is deter
mined that there shall be no more sur
pfiseS, and commanding officers will b.
held responsible.
General Smith also directs that scout
