FILIPINO MURDtRtRS MUST HANG
TEN NATIVES ARE TRIED BEFORE
THE MILITARY COMMITS.
SION.
DEATH FOR ALMOST ALL OF THEM
IN EVERY CASE EXCEPT mi THE
PERSON MURDERED WAS A
NATIVE.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Maj. Gen.
Chaffee is dealing out justice with a
stern hand to natives o. the Philippines
who have been INDUCING in murder
and pillage under the pretense Of fight
ing for independence.
The official mail from Manila just re-
ceiVed by the war department contains
the orders in ten cases of natives tried
before military commissions for muir
der. In every case except one the per-
son murdered was a native. The n
exception was that Of IN American SOL
der whose body, strangely enough,
could not be identified by the military
authorities. Nearly all the accused
were sentenced to death and in q ma
jCrity of cases the sentences were APP
proved by Gen. Chaffee. In 4 case
where the native convicted was SEN
fenced to twenty years Imprisonment.
Gen. Chaffee expressed the opinion that
the sentence was inadequate.
One of the natives tried, Augustin
to their death as the result Of an eXplos-
llocos, LuZon, was a leader of the Fill
ipino secret society known as the San
datahan. He was charged with killing
Antonio Abaya, h was supposed to
be an American spy. On the witness
murder that the community wanted to
get rid of Abaya because he had "a bad
Sickness" Aguilar's sentence was
death, but Gen. Chaffee commuted it to
Imprisonment for life.

war is raging at G~reentown, ten miles

officers of a dozen Indiana towns have
been pursuing for ten days on suspicion
Of spreading smallpox, was captured at
Greentown Friday night.
Murphy was ordered quarantined at
the home Of William Somers. The vii
layers objected to sheltering Murphy in
their midst and appealed to the au-
thoritics to have him removed to an
other place. This was refused, and at
2 O'Clock yesterday morning q mob as
sembled at the Somers' home and or
dered Murphy out OF town, under pen
atty Of violence. Murphy dared the
crowd. and, raising q shotgun, began
firing into the mob. One shot took eff
feet on Officer John Poole, who had
Just arrived to quell the riot The shot
was not intended for the officer, his
presence being unknown to the occu-
pants Of the house. Fifty birdshot pen-
etratd his lower limbs. but the injuries
are not fatal. The crowd then dis
persed, but declared they would return
and finish the job. In anticipation of
further trouble last night the house
was barricaded. So far The assailants
have not again how up and 1t is
thought the vigorous fight displayed by
the two men has scared them out.

POOR OIL IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Oil Inspector Emil Branch has filed

anne time turned into the treasury 81

Expenses. The amount turned in last
rear was s229.74. The inspector an
bwers the many criticisms which have
been aimed at him for the poor quality
the oil in the state, n lays the
lame on the legislature. He says:
"The inspection law, to say the least,
3 simply a b~urlesque, in that the poor
Inspector is made the target for all
DOrts Of abuse from ali corners of the
btate, and from ali classes Of people.
vho will not as much as acquaint them
belves with the existing laws. which. II
hey did, would certainly moderate their
generous expressions Of abuse.
"And as long as the large majority OF
legislators allow themselves to be
cadoled into voting in the interests OF
~tnonopolies and trusts. there will be no
relief from the present conditions.
What the state wants is a law not ham
<pered with scientific t~echnicalities. but
y law as plain as possible n to the
Hpoint.
II am not surprised, however, at
f1nany Of our legislators becoming con-
6used over some of the measures intro
kduced in the past upon the question OF
EOil inspection. If our next legislative
body is wise, it will enact a law with a
Quality Of gravity test, in addition to
the present flash test which, II made
<high enough, in my estimation, will be
Of relief"

"Hero Of Santiago" May Have to
Face Another Naval Court.
Washington, lam. 28.-Admiral Schley
may face another naval court for his
alleged letter to George E. Graham. au.
thor Of "Schley and Santiago" in which
Admiral Sampson is by inference criti-
cised for not having been present when
the Spanish fleet vas destroyed.
The matter was brought to Secretary
Longs attention yesterday and he will
give 1t consideration He would not
say whether or not the offense Of the
admiral on it's face constituted a sub
ject for court-martial or reprimand. but
the opinion here is that If the Samp-
sonites can arr ange things Schley will
be put to all the possible.
The secretary discussed the incident in
formally with Judge advocate Genera
Lemly, but no definite line Of action
was determined upon.
Admiral Schley's letter to Mr.. Graham
was dated Nov. Ia, 1901, and was writ
ten from the Arlington hotel, this city.
The sessions of the court of inquiry had
then been conducted several days, but
this, according to the navy depart
mentS authorities, does not affect the
ase. Secretary Longs special order
that naval officers should not discuss
the Sainpson-Schley controversy for
publication is held to have been in eff
feet.
Secretary Long was in conference
with the pre- siden+ for ever an hour
last night, presumably in regard to the
appeal or Rear Admiral Schley from
the findings of the court of inquiry,
which was referred by the executive Of
the navy department for comment"
The secretary WAS accompanied by
Judge Advocate Lemly n Solicitor
Hanna, who conducted the case before
the court. They met at Secretary
Longs apartments, and when they de-
parted for the White Hous they had
with them bundles of papers which had
the appearance of legal documents.
Secretary Long declined to say any
thing for publication regarding the con.
ference.

A COUNTY SEAT FIGHT.

The Court House Bond Question Will
P~rccipitate County Seat Fight.
The board Of commissioners of San
born county have ordered an election to
be held at the time of the election of
township officers, next March, to de-
eide whether the people Of Sanborn
county are willing are not to have bonds
issued for the purpose of building a
court house. The question bids fair to
cause another county seat fight in the
county, as the citizens of the east side
are not willing to have Woonsocket re-
tain the county seat, as h secured it
by most s~uspiciously fraudulent meth
DDS. Artesian citizens would like to
have the county seat located in their
town, and one substantial business man
offered to give $1,000 toward a new
court house building If it was built in
Artesian. But 1t remains to be seen
what the voters will do.
