SENTENCE WAS COMMITTED.
Chaffee, Out Of Respect for Deposoy's
Calling, Gives Him 20 Years.
Imprisonment.

Manila, Nov. 1S.-The Filipino
priest, Deposoy, has been sentenced
by court martial 70 the penalty of
death for the murder of certain of his
countrymen who favored the Ameri.
cans. Out Of respect, however, to the
condemned mans calling and the
great religious body to which he be.
longed, and most unworthily repre-.
sented, General Chaffee. has commut.
ed his sentence to 20 years imprison.
ment General Chaffee desires it to
be understood that the leniency exer.
cised in the case cannot be taken as
a precedent and that no person in
the islands can be permitted to plead
his office, however sacred and exalted
tnls may be, as protection against
crimes committed.
The municipal authorities have de.
cided to enlarge the city of Manila
and to incorporate within it's limits
the suburb of Santa Ana.

Writes Suggesting Persons to
Take Charge Of the
Institution.

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Inmate" at the county In.
frmary. making an appeal for exper-
fenced men at the head of the institu-
tion upon the retirement of Superin-
tendent Lichtenwaiter. who has not
yet made up his mind whether he will
bo an applicant for reappointment or
not It is understood that there Will
be q number of persons after the place.
which will be vacant the first OF the
year. Inmate makes the following
plea:
County Infirmary, Nov. 1S, 1901.
Editor News-Democrat: Since our
present superintendent is going to re-
tire, why not put man In his place
who has had experience and one that
has had little human feeling. We
want men and women who will not
look upon the poor and disabled as II
they were some unwholesome animal
but men and women who will treat us
with some Kindness. Why not appoint
John Powell, the second man, as sup
orintendent, and his wife matron, and
then we would suggest Mr.. Kirke and
wife, OF Canal Futon, for second place.
They were here. two years ago and the
general belief among the inmates ID
that they would be the right persons
for the place They are kind, good
farmers, and hard workers.
