GENERAL CHAFFEE REPORTS
MILITARY VIEW OF AFFAIRS
In Several Places Guerrilla
warfare Character OF
Country aud Nature Of Insurgents
Hard 10 Oyereome-Tbey Pose as
Friends and Act ar Enemies.

Manufactured Chaffee, in the am
nual report which has just been ISSUED,
sums up the situation from the mill
tary point of view by saying that the
provinces of Batangas and Laguna, in
southern Luzon, and the islands or
Samar. Mindoro and Cebu, constitute
the disturbed area in which bodies of.
insurgents In force are to be found.
General Chaffee says the prolonga-
ton of guerilla warfare is due to the
physical character Of the country and
TO the nature of the warfare carried on
by the insurgents, who in the same
hour pose as friends and act as enc
mics; to the humanity displayed by
the American troops, of which the In
surgents take advantage, and TO the
fear of assassination on the part OF
those natives who are friendly disposed
toward the Americans. SHOULD they give.
movements or whereabouts of the in
surgents.
Municipal and provisional govern
ments are being organized. These
governments have not yet received a
practical trial. They constitute the
only certain and reliable methods or
assuring the progress of the Filipinos
towards self government.
According TO the opinion of army Of
fcers the disaster TO Company C of the
Ninth Infantry, at Batangas. Samar,
when As men were killed, is attributed
10 the too great confidence of these men
in the natives, which they assumed to
be pacified.
In the same report Judge Advocate
Groebeck says the suppression of
brigandage viii probably be one of the
most trying problems of the future
II the military arm be left free TO deal
with the marauders there is no doubt
of their final suppression. But the
presence of the civil government COM
plicates the situation considerably
With the civil and military authorities
working in harmony, says Judge Groe-
beck, no evil results should be antici-
mated.

A kissino Club.

w. j. Zirhut. Jr, entertained the
High school basket ball boys and their
lady friends at his home on North Sec
ond street last night in a very delight
full manner. The evening was spent
with music and different games, the
most interesting OF which was the init
iation of the boys into the girls lodge.
The girls were put in one room and
the boys in another. A boy was then
blind folded and led into the girls
room, where he was kissed; then he
was supposed to guess the girls name
who kissed him. After all the boys
had kiss and a guess. they learned
that it was boy who gave them such
a sweet kiss and not a girl. After en-
joying the bountiful supply of delight
ful refreshments which were provided
by the young host the happy young
people departed for their several
homes wishing the ball boys success
in today's game.
Those present were: Mrs. lie Bar,

ROBBERS IN TOWN.
They Touched the Music Store of Hall
G. Learnard.

u GCoTU0t0s
Last Thursday morning, between the
hours of and 5 o'clock, the music
hous e of Hall & Learnard was robbed
of al y. S13o worth OF goods and SIS
in cash and stamps.
Mr. Hall opened up as usual Thurs
day morning, found the door locked
and everything IN perfect order, and
the burglary was not discovered uiitil
about o'clock when Mr.. hearnsrd
missed some piano covers which he
had placed in a case the night before.
He asked Mr.. Hall what had become of
them, who said that he had not seen
them. This aroused their suspicious,
and Investigations followed and it was
found that two violins in cases. two
guitars, mandolin in a fine leather
case and two dozen piano covers and
some money and stamps were missing.
Mr.. Hall reported the affair to Marshal
McMillin, who thought it best to keep
it quiet until some clue was obtained,
but by some hook or crook it got. out
last night.
The burglar or burglars gained an
entrance into the store with a key,
for had he picked the lock it would
not have been locked in the morning.
Another thing almost certain Is that
two or more men committed the rob-
berry, as one man could not have got
ten away with so much plunder unless
he had a buggy, and that is unlikely,
because the night was very light on ac-
count of the snow

Yesterday arrangements were enter
cd into by which the Hyde Exploring
Expedition interests in this city will
be consolidated under the manage
ment of A. b. McGaffey, the Railroad
avenue queensware, crockery and Gu
rio merchant. In placing the business
in Mr.. McGaffey's charge, Manager
Wetherell, of the Hyde company, has
made an excellent selection. Mr.. Nc
Gaffey's business experience and ener-
gy eminently fitting him TO assume the
responsibility of handling the business
to advantage. The consolidation re-
ferred to is comprised of the Hyde
company's wholesale department, here
tofore represented by Metcalf &
Strauss, and the retail department of
which G. w. Huntzinger has been the
manager. The Albuquerque headquar-
ters of the Hyde company will be on
South First street. in the store build
ing where the retail store was located
The Hyde people will make Albuquer-
que supply point from which to fill
eastern orders for Indian blankets

Mr.. McGaffey to this important posi-
tion will in no way affect the crockery
business in which he will retain his in
terest and continue to manage.

ADJUSTANT GENERALS.
Convention Recently Held in Wash
ington, D.. c.
AoJUTANT wHITEMAN ATTENDED

Adjutant general w. H. Whiteman
where he attended the convention of
the Interstate National Guard associa-
ton, and it is learned from him that
the results of the convention were very
|. beneficial to the National Guard of the
country. and especially to New Mexico.
says the New Mexican. The bill agreed
upon in the convention was drafted by
the secretary Of war, ana the provis-
ions suggested by Adiutant General
Whiteman were adopted III many feat
ures, and having the support Of the ad-
ministration. there can be little doubt
but congress will pass the bill as
agreed upon by the convention. It's
principal features are giving the presi-
dent the power to call out the National
Guard in time of war or insurrection
and giving them the right to go out as
organized bodies. 1t will also permit
to assemble the guard in annual en-
campments, officers and men to have
the same pay, subsistence and trans
portation as the regular army. 1t also
allows the guard to join in the annual
maneuvers of the army at army posts,
officers and men to have pay, subsist-
ence, etc, to be provided by the gov
ernment. National Guard officers are
also allowed to take course of in
struction al the army schools. and to
have pay, transportation, subsistence.
and quarters the same as officers of
the army. The bill also contains many
other excellent provisions for the de-
fense of the country in time of war,
and gives the National Guard an i'm
portance it never before had. and will
encourage officers and men to build up
guard creditably in every respect to
the territory and to the government.
Adjutant General Whiteman was
treated with high consideration, receiv-
ing vote of thanks from the conven-
tion for his labors in suggesting
amendments to the bill and advancing
the interests of the National Guard.

the Biddles in a one-horse sleigh stolen
at Perrysville, and at once, opened fire

matter of only short time. Mrs
Soffel tells two stories of the shooting,
one to the effect she shot herself dur
ing the fight. the other that she was
shot by Ed. Biddle.
From a statement made this morn
ing by Jack Biddle it is evident that
the escaped convicts and their accom-
plice arranged to commit suicide in
case their capture became imminent.
He said that he had never killed any
one. and never put bullet into anyone
exceptJailkeeper Reynolds He said
that the first crime he ever committed
was assisting to rob liquor store at
Carnegie, but admitted that he had
participated in a number of robberies
after that. After they left Jail they
went to "a house near the railroad in
Pittsburg, and remained all Thursday.
People in the house. when they read of
the escape from jail, recognized them
and would only let them remain after
the Biddles gave them a bunch of
money"
They left Thursday night. IF it had
not been for the woman we would not
have been caught" he said for we
could easy have gotten our horses and
away We could not let that poor wo-
man go by herself"
Jack Biddle said: 1--WE did not fire
n shot at the officers but attempted to
kill ourselves. | shot myself in the
mouth. Ed. shot himself over the
heart. The woman shot herself in the
breast"
Both of the Biddles disclaiIned ever
having killed any one. The Kahney
