DUMDUM BULLETS .

In view of the charges made against
the United States government that
its troops are using the "soft nosed, )"
expanding, or "dum dunn" bullet in
the PHILIPPINES, a collection of
trophies owned by Wheelock & Daw-
ley, consisting of bullets of the
nickle cased or regulation army bullet
and those of the soft nose type with
which experiments have been made on
animate and inanimate objects, is in
teIesting.
The calibre of both shells is the
same, being 30, and nitro powder is
used. The charge will throw the
bullet three miles, and at short range
will pass through the bodies of seven
men standing closely together III a
row. The soft nosed bullet will only
pass through the body of two men.
In Cuba the United States soldiers
are accused of using the soft nose,
which is contrary to the accepted
code of warfare between civilized
nations. But the government has
not issued such bullets The dunn.
dun effect of these bullets is ex-
planned by the gyrations of a top.
When top is set going, the velocity
is so great that it wabbles at first,

as in many others, the Judgment of
the Great Commander, so violently
assailed and denounced in his life
time, is abundantly vindicated. The
long continued troubles and murder
Gus disorder in Hayti and San Domin-
90 have caused renewal of the dis
cussion of the advisability of purchas-
ing the islands for naval stations for
the United States. Hayti especially
is of great strategic value and is
made doubly so by the determination
to construct the isthmialrcanal by the
Panama route Hayti is nearer to
that canal than Cuba or Porto Rico.
The island has one remarkably good
harbor and another which would
prove available. With well stocked
coaling stations in the Danish West
Indies and Hayti, the United States
would hold the key to the Caribbean
sea and would be in position to pro-
tect her interests against all corners.
Ever since Grant was President, there
has been more or less talk of purchase
ing these islands and during the adj
ministration of President Mckinley
the subject received considerable con-
sideratiou but was crowded out by
more important and pressing events.
1t is, however, likely to be brought
to the attention of Congress during
the administration of President
Roosevelt.

FOREIGN.

Manila, Aug. 13.-The army officer in
charge in Cebu has just sent in details of
the assassination of the four American
school teachers, John Z. Wells of Provi-
dence, r. l.; his cousin, Louis A.
ger of Cincinnati, O., and Clyde A,
France of Berea, o., last month. He says
the four teachers were ambushed in the
mountains. Two were killed at the first
fire and one was shot in the back while
running. The fourth escaped, but was
captured afterward. 1t is suspected that
one of the teachers was buried alive,
because his wound was not fatal. Two
of the bodies were buried deep. The
others were disinterred and eaten by dogs.
The cholera is increasing in Vigan. Eight
soldiers and several civilians have died of
the disease. Additional doctors have
been sent to Vigan from headquarters

NEW EVIDENCE.

Bennington, Aug 1S. New evidence
which has been discovered by Deputy
Sheriff Nash and Chief of Police
Godfrey, indicates that Stella Bates
was equally guilty with Leon Perham
and Mrs. Mary Rogers in causing lnu
death of Marcus Rogers, the husband
OF Mary, who was found dead in the
river near Morgan's Grove last Thurs
day morning.
Perham, while sparing neither Mrs.
Rogergs nor himself, has tried to
shield Stella Bates at every point of
his confession A witness has been
found who says that he met Perham,
M RS. Rogers and Stella Bates at 80
Wednesday morning, about an hour
later than the supposed time of the
murder. Perham has told the entire
story of the plan, has taken the officer
over the route and to the spot where
the deed was done. He maintained
his composure throughout and answer
cd every question promptly, except
when the name of Stella Bates was
mentioned, when he became more
careful and reserved.
Mrs. Rogers insists that she is in
nocent and that Perham is lying to
gain poteriety. The other man in
tne case, tne young mechanic whom
Mrs. Rogers expected to marry, if she
could get rid of her husband, is not
yet implicated in any criminal way.
The first clue against Mrs. Rogers
were some of his pay envelopes bear
ing her name, which were found on
the river bank where the murder took
place and supposed to have been lost
from er.pocket. On the night of the
murder, however, this young man was
with Company K of the Vermont Ma
tional Guard, at muster at Essex juno
ton, and he did not get home until the
next day.
The two women have engaged ex
Judge @. H. Mason to defend them.
Perham has no lawyer or money. The
thaee prisoners wore arraigned before
Justice Shurtliff Saturday night ant
pleaded not guilty
The hearing was postponed to next
Thursday. Mrs Rogers has confided
to the matron of the Jail that she ex
! poets to be confined in December
Leon Perham still insists that he ant
Stella Bates were hypnotized by Mrs
| Rogers.

then assumes a steady motion and at
the last, when the speed is nearly
gone, it wabbles again SO with the
niokle case bullet. AS it is discharg
ed and at the finish, it wabbles, so
that at a short or very long range it
would iDtiict a ragged wound in the
man it strikes, while in the inter
mediate and longer stage of the jour
ney, it would pass through a bone
and make a clean cut hole the size of
the bullet.
The soft nosed bullet is the same as
the nickle case except that the end of
the case at the point is cut off about q
quarter of an inch, leaving the lead
filling exposed. This bullet is used
for hunting purposes, for the reason
that when it strikes the bone or
muscle it expands and makes an ugly
wound, which invariably causes
death. 1t was found that the dead
Beers had their cartridge belts filled
with this type. 1t is said that in
fighting savage tribes this sort of bull
let is the only effective one as there
are cases in large number where the
savages of South Africa and India
have received two and three of the
nickel cased bullets through their
bodies, escaped and lived while it
would he impossible for them to have
done so if struck by soft nose.
Mr.. Wheelock is of the notion that
some of our soldiers in the PHILIPPINES
know of this fact, and becoming ex-
asperated at the treacheries have con-
verified their nickel case bullets into
soft nosed by trimming off the nickel
tip from the lead. But if on inspec-
tion soldier was found with soft
nosed bullets in his belt he would be
severely dealt with.
The State militia are provided
with the old style cartridge of 40 cali.
bre loaded with black powder and
which will carry a distance of from
one fourth to one-half mile. The
trohphies owned by Wheelock &
Dawley are a nickel case bullet,
which was shot into clay bank and
not changed in form; soft nose
which was shot into, but did not
explode, a keg of powder, but the
| bullet is compressed so that the dla-
meter is increased from that of leaC
pencil to the size of mans thumb
a soft nose which was shot into a CAKE
of ice and contracted half its length

led while the case is split and curled
TIE same bullet was then sho
thu ough the fieshy part of the dog
neck and it came out smooth but fiat
tened, being only about twothirdl
its former length.

HAYTI AND SAN DOMINGO.

People not very old remember the
San Domingo episode of President
Grants second administration. An
opportunity to acquire the island was
presented. With the foresight that
made bin the greatest of military
leaders, that anticipated events with
the prophets intuition, he saw the
enormous advantage the possession of
the island would give the United
States in the great events of which
the Caribbean was destined to be the
scene. Grants prophetic wisdom
was verified in the late war with
Spain. Had San Domingo been in the
possession of the United States for
the thirty years from the time when
the soldier President had urged the
Senate to seize great opportunity,
what mighty advantage had accrued
to the government in the war with
Spain. What mighty bearing the
island had then on the long mooted
matter of canal between the Carib-
bean and the Pacltc-and still has
now that the titanic enterprise is
ripening to the harvest, and the
difficulties of acquisition. also, have
increased. Thirty years of time for
material development have been lost,
thirty years for converting a black
chaos into region where peace and
prosperity abide. But the Senate, un,
der the leadership of the irreconcilablt
and impracticable Sumner and Other
malcontents, slammed down the Presi
dents proposition and Grant narrowly
escaped impeachment for his audacity
in proposing the purchase and seek
ing the information for a rationa
judgment on the project.
After generation, in this matter

MCGETTRICK ON CLEMENT.

Mr. McGetsriCk said in his speech
at Brattleboro, that he did not charge
the Republican party with corruption
in its individual composition, but cor
ruption had crept into its politics Just
as it would into the politics of the
Democratic party, if that party should
be in control for long term of years.
The reform must come through one
or the other of the great political
parties and not through one man who
pretends to stand alone as the embodi-
ment of political purity.
Mr.. Clement was arraigned in
scathing terms He was called the
Moses, the self constituted leader of
the Israelitish Republicans, the apostle
who would have us look to him for
a correction of the existing evils. He
tells us that the prohibitory law is
no longer the leading issue in this
campaign, but that the leading issue
is the corrupt use of money in prima-
ries and elections. He comes with an
air of conceit which is not excuse
able in sincere man. The speaker
scored Mr.. Clement for pretending
that this alleged corruption was
something that had just been discov-
cred. 1t had been just as familiar to
him for years as he claimed it to be
now. Six years ago the State convel-
ton was turned by the purchase of
two delegates, and the checks they re-
ceived had been traced beyond perad-
venture. Mr.. Clements ambition was
to get into the United States Senate
