 Washington, Dec. 24.-The war de- partment has received from the Philip pines the records of court martial by which three natives were tried for i'm plication in the murder of five Ameri- can soldier prisoners. One of the Fil- pinos was Timoteo Dahlan, com mandante of the insureent forces, who ordered Manuel Gonzales, lieutenant of insurgents to kill the presidentes of the pueblo of San Miguel de Mayumo, province of Bulacan. Gonzales, in com mand of band of insurgents, success fully ambushed detachment of the S5th Volunteer Infantry, taking five of the American soldiers prisoners.
 The Americans had been acting as a guard for the presdente of Miguel de Mayumo and he too, passed into the hands of the insurgents. The Ameri- cans captured and afterward killed were Privates John T. Hickman, Go. B; William A. Smith, Co. c; Hamlet Jarvis, Co. c; Elmer Dane, Go. F and Frank H. Wilson, Co. F. The presi- dente was stabbed. The Americans were placed in charge of sergeant taken away and killed with Bolos. There was an attempt on the part of each of the three Filipinos to shift the responsibility for the crimes at the trial It was developed that Con- mandante Dahlan in ordering the am buscade gave the following directions td Lieut. Gonzales; Separate Jose Buencamino (the presidenD from the Americans and with these Americans do as if you were to take them to the general; but when you reach the tall grass, do with them what we are ac- customed to do"
 He finished his directions for the mur ders with these words: You will re- ceive five pesos for the soldiers. God keep your life many years"
 In passing upon the findings in the case of the insurgent commandante, General Chaffee said: His open ap peal to the base instincts of his sol diers by promising reward for the exe cution of his inhuman command ag- gravates his offense and marks the ac- cused as one so lost to the better i'm stincts of his race as 10 preclude an appeal to clemency"
 In Dahlans case and that of Gonzales | Gen. Chaffee approved the sentences of | death by hanging imposed by military In that of Clemente de La | Cruz the sergeant who personally di- | rected the murder of the prisoners, he 1 oommuted the death sentence to inn prisonment for life at hard labor.
