TERRIBLE DEATH LIST
IN island OF LUZON
One-sixth of the Natives Have Perished During
the Last Two Years of War.


New York, May 2.-Brigadier General
Bell, who has just arrived n Wash
fngton, direct from the Philippines,
where he was in command of four de-
partments of southern Iluzon, is quoted
in a Times special from the capital as
saying:
'One-sixth of the natives of Luzon
have either been killed or have died
of the dengue fever in the last two
years. The loss OF life by killing alone
has been very great, but think that
not one man has been slain exceDt
where his death served. the legitimate
purpose OF war 1t has been necessary
70 adopt what IN other countries vOuld
probably be thought harsh measures
for the Filipino is tricky end crafty and
has TO be fought in his own way.
One OF my seRtinels was beheaded
Within $50 yards OF my headquarters.
His eNecUtioner was a b0loman. who
came into camp disguised as a fruit
vender. He had his bolo hid in his
basket, and at the OpBOTtUne moment
drew it, ana with one blow cut OF the
sentinel's head
The Filipinos in my district were in
the habit of stopping the wagons OF
natives and imposing a, tax of one
American dollar on each load OF henpS
Frequent complaints were made to me,
and one day I sent Captain Hand of
the Forty fifth infantry to stop the
practice. He and six men concealed
themselves in a covered wagon. When
they were held up they opened fire on
the insurgents, and FIVE Of them We're
killed After that there was no more
levying Of taxes.
The insurgents also caused us much
trouble by tampering with our teIe-
graph wires For a while We were OBJ
liged to treat everyone outside of our
lines as an enemy. If man was
caught within $50 yards. of a telegraph
pole he was shot. On one occasion six
Fflfpinos were found dead holding 10
a wire. which they had wrapped around
a tree. No one knew who shot them,
but their fate was sufficient to keep
any of their comrades from tampering
with the lines again"

BRYAN CRITICISES
SENATOR M'LAURIN


Lincoln, Neb. Nay I'm a state
ment made today, w. J. Bryan takes
Senator NfcLaurin OF South Carolina
to task for what lie DECLARES is his bo-
lfical flop at the samsstine MIR. Bryan
admits that Senator BIcLaurin's action
marks the beginning Of a movement in
the south which win have an influence
upon the politics of the nation. He
says:
1T is not likely that Mr.. McLaurin
VIII be the leader OF the movement be-
cause he IS Handicapped by the fact
thai be IS using his official position 70
misrepresent the views and interests Of
his constituents, but some leader viii
arise to give direction and force to the
aristocratic end plutocratfc element for
which ME McLaurTn speaks. There is
and now that the race question no
longer unifies the white population OF
the southern states, il will doubtless
mauifasS stself.
SSenatOr TiIlman has already taken
up the gauge Of battle thrown down
by Senator McLaurin, and will -dOubt =
less be able to marshal a considerably
majority in that state, but the same in
duences are at work In other states,
where there IS greater danger Of their
success.
''The Democratic sentiment is strong
enough to resist and overcome the Nc
LauTin movement, but those who be-
lieve shat the man is more important
than the dollar VIII have to bestiT
themselves.
