American Soldiers in Samar Wrought Up
Over Stories of Barbarous Treatment of
Their Captured Comrades.

Manila. Oct. 26.-The people of the
island of Samar have been notified
to concentrate in the towns on pain
of being considered public enemies
and outlaws and treated accordingly.
Intense feeling exists among the
troops in Samar. If they can meet the
enemy in the open there will be great
retaliation. Many of them have seen

American soldiers were subjected by
the Filipinos recently.

also fell into the hands of the Amer

AN EXPERT IN DECEIT.
Gen. Young, Who Knows the Filipino,
Says He Is "a Most Cheerful and
Unnecessary LAR

San Francisco, Oct. 2S.-AnotheI
officer who is known to have little
confidence in the Filipinos is Gen.
S. B. NJ. Young, now commanding
the Department of California. In a
recent statement he said: "Our pur-
suit of Aguinaldo resembled a march
of triumph through the north in the
manner of our reception. Brass bands
met us at every town, the church
bells rang, and the alcaldes and pres
identes and principal FiIipinos greet
ed us with bows and smiles and eff
fusiye hospitality. They were ELUSIVE
in speeches of hospitality They
yearned for the Americans. They
longed for peace. They hated war and
instruction. They were our most
humble servants to command But as
to the enemy they did not know. They
had not seen him. Meanwhile the
enemy was hiding in their own houses
or lying nearby in ambush, fully in
formed by these lovers OF peace
whether we could be safely attacked
or not. Did any peasant show US
road he was murdered as soon as we
were out of sight. The money we
paid for forage and food was straight
way sent to the nearest insurgent
commander. The Filipino is expert
in deceit. He is the most cheerful
and unnecessary liar you ever saw.
Truth is his last resort, only to be
used when all else fails''

DISCIPLINE IS PERFECT.
superintendent of West Point Tells of the
SaIutary Results Which Followed
the Suppression of Hazing.

Washington, Oct. 25.-The most inn
portant feature of the annual report
of Col. a. L. Mills, superintendent of
the military academy at West Point,
relates to the measures taken for the
suppression of hazing. Treating OF
discipline, he says: 1.-THE discipline
of the corps of cadets has greatly inn
proved during the year, and is now in
an excellent state. 1t is believed no
military body of its size exists which
excels it in soIdierly appearance and
in the perfection of drill and military
exercises as well as in the higher re-
quirements of devotion to duty. This
satisfactory condition has been at
tanned by firm adherence to the meas
ures adopted during the past three
years to create among the cadets
higher soldierly regard for their obi
cations, in particular those pertain
ing to hazing."

Manila, Oct. 2s.-The constabulary
report a fight with insurgents near
Passi, province of Iloilo, island of
Panay, in which 25 insurgents were
killed and three captured, together
with a quantity of arms and ammuni-
ton. The news from Gen. Hughes re-
garding conditions in the island of
Cebu is encouraging. Lorega has sur
rendered with his entire force and
one cannon and seven rifles, while
Gen. Hughes is negotiating for the
surrender of Maxilot, who styles him
self governor politico-militar. His
surrender will mean the pacifcation
of the province.
Lack of food and the harassing
effects of the aggressive tactics now
pursued by the American forces are
having their influence upon the ma

doled out by the government only
enough is given for one meal, so that
it is hardly possible for any large
quantity to find it's way to the insur-
gents.

Powers, on the other side of the court

shook his hand, expressing aloud
their belief in his innocence. Women

A NEW WORLDS RECORD.
At Kansas City Cresceus, the King or Trot-
tiers, Went Mile In 2;O9 If over
a HaIf-AIIIe Track.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 25.-A new
worlds trotting record was estab-
Hshed at the Kansas City Driving
clubs park yesterday, when. Cresceus,
king-now greater king-of all trot-
tiers, went mile over the haIf-mile
track, without single skip, in 2:O91l,
before crowd of about 10000 wildly
cheering people. The previous record
of 2:O91s, which Cresceus made at To-
ledo about two weeks ago, was re-
duced only one-fourth of second, but
considering all things, it was a won
derful performance. The track, while
in the very best of condition, is new
and therefore slower than the older
courses over which Cresceus set the
marks that made him the most Won
derful trotter of the age.
