The day was very misty, and all hands
were made to shift for themselves.

WHAT BILL ANTHONY SAID
Captain sigsbee Throws Some New
Light on a Historic Incident.
Orderly Did Not Use the Words, "I Have
the Honor to Report" When the
Maine Was Blown Up.

Washington, D. C.-Captain Sigsbee
was incorrectly represented in
Washington dispatch as having ex-
ploded the "Bill" Anthony story in a
lecture before the Union Veteran Le'
gion. and as having said that Anthony
never made his famous report that
"The vessel has been blown up and is
sinking" In denying this story Cap.
tain Sigsbee threw some new light on
the Anthony incident.
81 did not discredit the Anthony
story" said Captain Sigsbee. "On the
contrary, told 1t over again and paid
a tribute to the gallantry which An
thony displayed. 1t was a brave ac-
tion, and all the more admirable be-
cause there was nothing dramatic
about 1t, no lf-consciousness. nothing
but the plain, matter-of-fact perform
ance Of what Anthony considered to
be the simple discharge Of an ordinary
duty.
"He did not use the often-quoted ex.
preston, Sir, I have the honor to re-
port That would have been dramatic.
One can imagine Frenchman or
man Of another nationality more eX-
citable and more sentimental than
ours, making the report in that way.
But Anthony's way Of doing 1t was
typically American-cool, matter OF
fact, businesslike, and as If it were
matter Of routine.
"He might have been excused If he
had jumped overheard instead Of COM
ing to report to me. To get to me he
had to grope his way through long
passageway as black as night, not
knowing when he raised his foot
where it would come down. When he
entered my cabin was six feet away
from him, but he had to grope his
way about and find me. he did not,
therefore, raise his hand and make the
dramatic report with which he has
been credited. On the contrary. he
ran into me. and I said, Who's that?
Neither Of US could see the other. of
course. He said, in matter Of fact
way. It's Anthony, the orderly. beg
your pardon, Sir, for running into you.

sinking
"There were no herolcs. no gesticul-
tion, and no salute, and no 4 have the
honor to report It seemed to me q
finer thing as it was. Enthusiasm
can carry a man through q great deal,
but Anthony's cropping his way

ing anything but the performance Of
an ordinary duty, was a better thing
than a dramatic action performed un.
der the influence of enthusiasm. re-
piled. Very good. Go back, and I
will follow you That was all there
was of it.
"Mrs. Anthony afterward asked me
If her husband had said what he was
quoted as saying. I replied. He did
not say that he had the honor to re-
port, and you have the better reason
to be proud Of him for it, and told
her why, as have just told you"

q requisite number Of grave diggers,
who participate in the self-appointed
work of the band.
The leaders select their victim, cap
ture and carry him away in the
night to a secret rendezvous on
sandy beach covered with tall grass,
where the diggers already have pre-
pared the grave. Here, in the pres
ence Of the assembled band, helpless
men and women from time to time
have been stabbed to death and tossed
into the graves.
The members Of the band then dis
perse and trust to the rise and fall of
the nearby waters to hide the evil
dences Of their CHASTITY work. Ten
members Of the band, including two
of the chiefs. were tried before q
military commission and eight Of them
were sentenced to be hanged.
In another case an armed band or
about twenty-five Fllipinos carried
away nine Of the inhabitants Of the
Barrio of Casantulacian- and, by re-
peated blows from the butts Of their
rifles, drove them to the Presidencia
Of Cabaruan. Here all hands drank
freely of vino and the prisoners were
made drunk. =
Then, according to the testimony OF
two of the prisoners who escaped. the
other seven were led off in the direc-
ton Of O grove Of trees, where, two
days later. their beheaded bodies were
discovered. The members of the band
who were captured received sentences
of death in several cases and impris-
onment at hard labor for varying
terms in others. =,
Jose Baligod. the President-elect Of
the Pueblo of Tuao under the system
established by the American Govern
ment, while exercising the functions
of his office became cognizant of the
organization Of a band in neighboring
barrio for the purpose Of attacking
the small garrison Of nineteen Amer
lean soldiers stationed in Tuao.
Baligod traltorously co-operated
with the leader Of the band, advised
him as to the most auspicious time
to make an attack. intercepted a mes
senger sent to warn the Americans
and otherwise treacherously abused
the trust of his Office. He was SEN
fenced to be confined at hard labor for
twenty years.

Dental friend. II can't stand for peo-

Young Man Threatened to Kill the Girls

Rescued by His Fiancee-Mob Wanted
to Tar and Feather Him-Under Arrest.
Mount Holly, N. J.-Twenty-flVe
masked men assembled in the vicinity
of former Judge B. P. Willis's house
bent on treating Harry Allen Baxter.
the fiance Of Miss Willis, to a coat Of
tar and feathers. Entering the large
yard they made an effort to enter the
rear door. Then something happened.
The Judges ten-year-old son asked
them very pointedly to retire, at the
same time he leveled a shotgun at the
gang, which beat hasty retreat.
"I'll shoot the first one to enter" he
said and Immediately there was
slump In tar and a reaction in the
feather market, which had been de-
cidedly bullish.
All the time young Allen was in an
upstairs room armed with revolver
and large amount Of that discretion
which at times outdoes any sort of
valor.
Allen is not the "star boarder" Of
the Willis household by any manner
Of means. The Judge doesn't like him
at all, but Mrs. Willis favors his suit,
and so does the young woman. He
came here from New York City some
time ago, and, although the Judge op.
poses the marriage he permitted the
youth, up to Wednesday morning, to
live in the house.
On that morning, hard upon the heel
of the exciting events of the previous
night, the Judge and his prospective
son-in-law had row. Baxter drew
revolver and threatened to shoot. The
Judge ran at him, and. seizing the
weapon, thrashed him. Baxter rushed
out Of the house coatless and hatless,
and ran down Main street to Grant,
closely pursued by the Judge and q
large and excited crowd.
Arriving at Grant street station he
attempted to board a passing trolley
car for Burlington. He was caught
and again chastised by the Judge.
Baxter once more pulled his revolv-
er. William Jennett and Micajah Mat
lack, who were In the crowd that had
assembled, seized Baxter, end taking
his revolver away, ordered him to get
out as soon as possible. Baxter ran
along the trolley track toward Bur-
lington.
Judge Willis then went before Squire
Krayer and swore out warrant for
the arrest of Baxter. Giving this to
Detective Ellis II. Parker. he stopped
a passing team and drove rapidly of
in pursuit. Miss Willis had learned
Of the row, and she Immediately drove
to the rescue, overtaklng Baxter In
his flight toward Burlington. She hur-
ried off with him in the carriage.
Later Baxter was found in the home
of Mrs. NJ. R. Sooy, in Mount Holly,
and arrested.
Miss Willis met Baxter last season
at Bay View, L. l., while she was vis-
iting a former schoolmate. He made
rapid progress in his suit for Mabels
hand and in the good graces of her
mother, but the Judge made investi-
cations and refused his consent to the
wedding. A few weeks later Baxter
came to the house as a guest Of Mrs.
Willis.

In 1889 the Republican party NOM

Governor of Michigan by $4,000 plur-

The reasons for Senator Platt's deter
