MASSACRE PLANNED BY
AMERICAN DESERTERS

Washington, Dec. 2,-According to Ma
Mia newspapers, copies of which have
been received at the war department, the
massacre of Company c, Ninth Infantry,
at Balangiga, Samar, was planned by de-
serters from the American army. The
newspapers say that two such deserters
are known to have acted as spies two
days before the massacre.
1t Is said that when the First Infantry
was relieved by the Ninth on the Island
of Samar these deserters obtained some
uniforms which had gone astray during
the transfer. and thus equipped they
passed still as regulars.
It IS said to be a generally understood
fact that deserters from the Ninth Cav
airy (colored) are responsible for all the
troubles our troops have been having in
Batangas Province. 1t is said that de-
serters from this regiment led the fight
near Lipa in July, in which Capt. VIII
helm and Lieut. Ramsey. Twenty-first
Infantry, and Lieut.. Leo of the Engineers
were killed. Gen. Smith. in Samar and
the Twentieth Infantry. in Batangas. are
said to be hot on the trail of the deserters.

Parliamentary
STR UGGLE OPENS
Germany Entering Upon As In
tense a Period~of Political Dis
turbanCe As Existed in Britain
During Corn Law Agitation

Berlin. Dec. 2-Count Won Buelow, the
imperial chancellor, In introducing the
greatest parliamentary struggle that Ger
many has ever faced, counselled the mem
bers of the reichstag to moderation of
language, declaring that the eyes of the
world were upon them. Although this
was Germany's affair, said Count Won
Buelow, 1t was necessary to maintain a
resolute front to the other nations of the
world
Reference was made to the United
States In the course of today's debate on
the subject, and the name America Is
likely TO be yet more freely used by each
side to this controversy, which is moving
Germany more deeply than has any other
civil question since the emergence of the
empire.
The tariff experiences of the United
States and the pressure of American com
petition constitute rich mines for argu-
ment upon each side of the question.
"Brotwucher" dread usury), or the
raising of the prices of bread is to be
the battle word of the manufacturing
capitalists and the Socialists alike, who,
by curious turn of politics, now unite IN
passionate opposition to a bill that prl-
marily increases the cost of foodstuffs'
Oddly enough, "Brotwucher" is WORD
of Emperor Williams coinage. The en-
peror used 1t several years ago when
speaking to some conservative gentlemen
who were discussing with Count Won
Kanitz, the Agrarian leader, a PROPOSE
ton to effect q corner in wheat
Every individual small interest through
out Germany that is adversely aHected by
the tariff bill is organized against TINS
bill Popular and irresponsible sentiment
gathers around the compact and highly
organized fighting units. This opposition
to the measure is more powerful outside
than inside of the German Parliament;
While the government is aware OF ana
feels this opposition, it also recognizes
and sees that the present period OF indus
trial calamity in Germany is an 1noppor-
tune time to press a measure raising the
cost of food. The government Is so
pledged to the Agrarian party, so com
pletely committed to the measure that II
feels it cannot recede therefrom or post
none its consideration. Consequently the
ministry entered upon the debate today
determined to see the thing through, but
with no cheerfulness of spirit.
1t is believed Germany is about to enter
upon as intense a period of political dis
turbance as existed in Great Britain dur
ing the corn law agitation.
A brilliant company of diplomats, titled
ladies and other persons of distinction
filled the reserved galleries of the cham
ber The speeches, however, were far
less animated and interesting than had
been expected The speech of Baron Won
Thielmann, secretary of the treasury was
especially disappointing in its brevity, but
1t is understood he is reserving himself
for a later day upon which the imperial
chancellor does not speak.

STORTIS PLEA
HAS NO MERIT

Washington, Dec. 2. - In the United
States Supreme Court today an opinion
was handed down in the case OF Luigi
Storti VS. the State of Massachusetts, af-
firming the decision of the court below.
Storti is under sentence Of death by
electrOcution for murder and he sought
to secure his release on writ OF habeas
corpus. His petition was denied by the
lower court and that Is the decree which
was today affirmed
The court based it's opinion upon the
ground that there was no merit in the
case, saying:
LAS the petition presented no case en-
titling the petitioner TO Z discharge, and
as the grounds stated are absolutely
frivolous. and as the result reached in
the Circuit Court is in accordance with
law and justice, the judgment is af
firmed."
Boston, Dec 2-Hope for Stortrs life
was not abandoned by the counsel. al
though the United States Supreme Court
gave an adverse decision today. Further
Proceedings will be taken before the
United States courts on a petition for a
writ of error, based on the refusal Of the
Supreme Court Of Massachusetts within
the last few weeks to issue a writ of
habeas corpus in StortIs case.
This writ was asked on the ground that
Storti was at present being held in the
Charlestown prison on an eX-pOst facto
law. As Gov. Cranes council last week
granted a further respite. fixing StOrti's
execution during the week beginning Dec
IA Storti's counsel will have sufficient
time to ask for further Intervention by the
United States Circuit Court.
II was said by friends Of Storti this
afternoon that he could live only a few
weeks longer at the most, as he is very
low from consumption.

Thrasher Of the State Law and order
League has made a report upon the Me-
Govern-Corbett prize fight last Thanks
giving day at Hartford. at which the
league had witnesses and detectives. The
secretary says that in the preliminary
bout Burke has his jaw dislocated and
lost several teeth. though an attempt has
been made to conceal the fact.
In regard to the main fight. the secre-
tary quotes copiously from witnesses and
correspondents to show its nature. which,
he says was in the highest degree brutal
though not more so than a number Of
other fights which had previously taken
place in Connecticut. He says that II the
contest was not prize fight then prize
fight never took place In America.
The secretary adds that il was clearly
Illegal and that II presents excellent OPP
portunity for a test case in the courts,
and that at the next Legislature severe
restrictive legislation should be sought.
