On some plantations there has been

MAJOR BRAGANZA'S BRUTALITY.
Gen. Chaffee Calls 1t the Most Revolt
ing Measure in Modern History.

The records of a score or more of court
martial trials of Filipinos charged with
murder and other crimes have been re-
ceived at the War Department from the
Philippines.
Probably the most interesting case is
that of Francisco Braganza, major in the
insurgent army, the officer who ordered the
massacre of 103 Spanish prisoners in his
charge in February of 1900 and who has
now been sentenced to pay the penalty of
death for his crime. General Chaffee made
an unusually long review of this case,
characterizing the wholesale destruction of
life as the most barbarous and revolving
massacre of helpless prisoners known to
the modern history of war" He calls at
tention to the fact that the chiefs of the
insurrection did their utmost to prevent the
United States from fulfilling it's assumed
obligation and it's desire to employ its best
efforts to return the Spanish prisoners in
the hands of the F'ilipinos to Spain.
For it was upon the approach of de-
tachment of American troops that this Fill
pIno officer ordered the massacre OF the
helpless Spaniards in his charge. I'm what
manner this cruel policy could serve the
cause of the insurrection, says General
Chaffee passes ordinary comprehension .
The chiefs of the insurrection, he continues
made the brutal act their own by extend
ing to Braganza, in effect, their appreciation
and confidence. In this, it Is believed" ="
he says, they betrayed the better senti-
ments of the Filipino people and demon
strated their lack of comprehension of the
means of governing humanely and wisely

tai massacre, telling how the Spanfards
were slaughtered with daggers, bolos, clubs
