ONE WAS BURIED ALIVE.
American School Tea cheers Ambushed Near
Cebu June 10 Were Shown No Mercy
by Their Captors.

Manila, Aug. 13.-An investigation
made by the constabulary to clear
up the facts in the killing of a Cebu
coaching party of four schoOlteach-
ers, shows that the party was am
pushed 12 miles from Cebu. Two
teachers were shot and killed at the
first vOlley; a third, who ran, was
shot in the back and a fourth, who
was captured, was shot in the chest
while he was praying for mercy 1t
is suspected that the fourth man was
buried alive, as his wound was slight
and probably would not have caused
death.
The bodies of these teachers were
found on July "a, after the teachers
had been missing since June 10. The
police killed the leader of the band of
murderers and captured eight other
alleged participants in the crime.

The police department arrested Ed

STUCK UP FOR THEIR STATES

Enthusiastic Citizens.

a Texan claimed agricultural and in
dustrial supremacy for their states

of the association who listened to
their addresses on ''The Great South
west"
''The cows in Kansas give enough
milk to pay $1O,OOO.OOO if sold at ten
cents a gallon; the hens that cackle
on the farms of the southwest can
in one year pay the Louisiana pur-
chase cost in eggs and leave $780,
600 for pin money" said James A.
Trautman, the Kansan.
''TeXas holds onc-fourth of the

WILHELM MADLY IN LOVE.
Grown Prince of Germany Would Renounc4
the Throne TO Wed Miss Gladys Oea-
con, of New York.
Paris, Aug. 1a.-te Matin publishes

Paris, Aug. BE Matin publishes
an extraordinary story of violent
scenes between the German emperor
and his eldest son, the crown prince.
The paper hints that the cause of the
quarrel is the princes determination
to marry an American girl. At the
last meeting of the father and son
the emperor stamped and swore that
a HOhenzoIlern prince should never
marry, morganatically or otherwise.
a girl of common American clay,
however beautifully nodded. It is
believed here that the girl in ques-
ton is Miss Gladys Deacon, the fasci-
mating daughter of Edward Parker
Deacon, and the close friend of Con
suelo, duchess of Marlborough, for
merly Miss Vanderbilt.
Being chastised by the emperor for
his disobedience, the prince threat
ened to do as did the Austrian arch
duke, who took the name of John
Ortiz and renowned his rights. to
the throne for the sake of the woman
he loved. The prince said he would
rather have the heart and hand of
the American beauty than rank OF
purple, or even the throne of the Ger
man empire.

MAY SUMMON SENATE
Senators May Be Called to Con-
slider a Cuban Treaty.
II
It Is Said to Be the Presidents Purpose
to Allow Senators g Month to Consider
the Measure Before tfs Regular
Session in December.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The state
ment is made, with claim of being
at least semi-officia1, that the presi-
dent will call the senate in special
session Immediately after the cleo
ton in November for the. purpose of
considering a reciprocity treaty with
Cuba. 1t is his purpose, it is as
serted, to allow the Senators nearly
month in which to consider the
treaty before the opening of the reg
ular session in December. The same
authority claims that the treaty has
been prepared and is in form that
is fully approved by the president.
1t is not by any means certain
that a Cuban reciprocity treaty, if
submitted to the senate at regular
or extra session, would be adopted.
Something like 20 republican sena-
tors are radically opposed to the
adoption of Cuban reciprocity
treaty. Senator's Platt. of Connect
icut, Hanna, of Ohio and Cullom, of
Illinois, are practically all the sena-
tors who were ready to go on the
floor and fight for a Cuban tariff re-
duction bill, desiring its passage even
by the aid of democratic votes. Sen
ator SpOoner was ready to aid in this
fight, not because he is ardently in
favor of Cuban reciprocity, but be-
cause he was anxious to aid the presi-
dent and Senators Flatt and Hanna,
and because he believed it would be
good legislation from I. party stand
point. Nearly all of the other rcpub-
ican senator's were either lukewarm
or Indifferent.

there are two special reasons for
maintaining this rganization-first
loyal, non-partisan support of the
United States government in its

carry out the responsibilities which
our campaigns in the Philippines
brought forth, and second, defense
of the United States army, which has
