Tutuila, Samoa, Dec. 26, via San
FRANCISCO, Jan. 8.-The government
mas paid out $4,000 as compensation for.
guns delivered up by the natives this
year. AT recent district meeting
oI the natives, resolution was passed
ASKING the commandant to increase

was that the taxes should increase in
proportion to the prosperity of the

after waiting for the government to
ACT, the chiefs have taken the matter

Ihe Invention, PettingelI saws is a
smell that will carry without the least
concussion from SO to 200 pounds Of
glycerlne oil as far as the ordinary
shell can be fired by ordinary modern
ordnance. The conclusion necessary
to project the shell, he says, is bv his
device reflected back to the sides of

not disturbed in the least.

Jan. Sat a meeting of the executive
council this morning it was decided
that general reduction of the scale

BELL is NOT SO GENTLE.
Is Conducting Vigorous Campaign to Quell
the Rebellion In Luzon.

| Manila. Jan S.-GeneraI J. Frank6r
Bell is conducting vigorous cam
paign in Batangas Province. Every
available soldier is in the field. The
columns under the command of Col
onels Wint and Dougherty are doing
excellent work and driving the Filipi
nos in all directions. A number OF
the latter are fleeing to Tayabas
Province, where the native constabu-
larry are rendering valuable assistance
in capturing men and rifles.
The advocates of peace at Manila
deprecate the stern measures en-
ployed by General Bell. In reply
General Bell says thatsthese peace ad-
vocates have had numerous oppor-
tunities to use their influence, as they
have been given passes through the
American lines almost for the asking,
and that it has been afterward proved
that they often only went through the
lines for the purpose of assisting the
insurrection. General Bell says that
the best peace method now is a rigor-
GUS warfare until the insurrection is
completely subdued.
The arrest of members of the veal
thy Lopez family and the confiscation
of their steamers and rice, as well as
the arrest of three members of the
religious corporations, who were
known to be instigators of the insur-
rection, has had an excellent effect
upon the natives.
Conditions in the island of Samar
are still unsatisfactory owing to the
Difficulty of finding the insurgents.
Capt. Schoeffel, of the Ninth Infantry
(Who was wounded in severe hand |

Samar Island, between Is men of Com
pany E, of his regiment, and a large |
force of bolomen), has practically re-
covered from the effects of his
wound. In an official report of the
encounter, it is said that Schoeffel
killed three men before he received
his wound, and that the remnants of
the detachment of Is men were saved
Oy his personal courage and daring.
The civil authorities say that the

From the standpoint of medical sci.

was:
Was Czolgosz at the time he com.

Inc reply to these questions, which
embod1es the entire history of the
case from the trial of the criminal to
MS execution and the disposal of his
remains, takes up nearly IL pages in
the New York Medical Journal. and.
Invested of all technicalities. is TO
the effect that Czolgosz, was sane and

thing in his history, according to the
medical experts, pointed to the ex-

anarchy, of which he was a victim.
His refusal to reply to questions at
the trial is regarded as having been
IN line with his role, expressed in the
theatrical declaration: 81 am an an

Mr. Mcdonald concludes his report
with the declaration that Czolgosz.
When he assassinated President Nc

legally and medically-and fully re.
sponsible for his act.
Mr. Spitzka, who made the autop.

There has been found absolutely
nothing that could have been at the
bottom of any mental derangement.
