How Australians Ruthlessly Killed Little Bo;r
Children.

Liverpool, April S.-A former trooper
of the Bushveldt Carbineers, who has re.
turned here, is quoted as saying that
the convicted Australian officers belong
ing to that corps, since disbanded, MUIR
dered from 35 to 40 prisoners. AS an in
stance of their old-bloodedness, the
trooper relates how three Dutch children,
two and - year. of age respectively, and
their little sister, arrived at the car
bineers camp to surrender in order to
be given food. The girl and one of the
boys were wounded. The uninjured
boy took his little brother on his back
ard was carving him off when a second
shot killed both boys. The girl died
shortly afterward.

ings followed and the Court, its officers
and its attorneys were ~scandalized by
the entire affair.
The blame in this matter cannot
attach to the attorneys, it cannot attach
to the Court clerks, but it does attach
to the system of jurisprudence which
can permit documents of any kind,
Court records, to be taken off the files
of the Court. In New York it is a
felony and no doubt every state in the
Union would show the same provision
on its statute books
The work of the Federal Court has
been thorough, it has been clean and
it has been a good wholesome lesson to
every Portorican who has come before
it either as a juror, party to any ac.
ton, or as a prisoner before the bar OF
Justice. 1t has been the one pure clear
spot in the entire system of lns1lla1
Justice. It is entitled to enjoy a well
earned reputation, after what can rulty
be called a work well done.

"Do you believe, also, that the city

Il do. There were sinful people

"But why were all killed if only a

"All were killed, yes; but were not

More Than Forty Warships To Ma

Admiral Dewey To Be In Charge.

No display of naval force in the his
tory of the American navy will equal
that which is planned for December IS
of this year, when the fleets of the
North Atlantic, Suoth Atlantic, and Eu-
ropean squadrons will mobilize in the
of Culebra Island to work
out in practice. number of problems
set by the General Naval Board. Ad-
mira1 Dewey will be the reviewing
officer and under his orders there will
be evolutions in which seven battle
ships, six cruisers, ten gunboats, hoti-
LA of torpedo craft, and a number Of
training ships and other adxiliaries will
participate.
Conditions of actual warfare will be
simulated as nearly as possible. There
will be on hand an engineering repair
ship, an idea of Admiral Melville, first
put into practice during the Spanish
war, a distilling ship, and, possibly, a
hospital ship.
The fleet will be under the command
Of Rear-Admiral Francis J. Higginson,
and under him will be Real-Admirals
Sumner, Crownishie1d, and Coghlan.
Although the problems to be worked
are closely guarded, it is known that in
a general way, the hypothesis will be
that of war existing between this and
some other frst-class naval Power, Ger.

Mauleon Claims That San Juan
News Incites Riot.
Final Testimony Tomorrow.

The investigation into the charges
against the Republican Committee OF
defense was continued this morning
before Secretary Hartzell. The accused
men presented further testimony in
their own behalf. Pedro Gomez was
placed on the stand for the purpose of
explaining the object of the Committees
existence He denied that the associa.
ton was one composed of bandits, or
that they had ever organized for the
express purpose of terrifying the mem
bers of the Federation-siib5 i5re"if He stated
that he had never ,own of Repub-
firsru striking a F .atinn --an with
out calase, asad.-~Ssts.ted g7s9 S.1utrs sader-
alton Libre men attacked the members
of the Committee on sight.
OGher witnesses were examined as to
particular instances which occurred and
all testified alike that the Federation
men had been the aggressors in every
instance. One occurrence was related
where Benito Alfonso and friend were
walking on San Sebastian Street, and
had entered a store directly opposite to
the Federation rooms, when they were
called over by Federation man, that
they had hardly reached tie middle OF
the street when revolvers began to
blaze, and that an eX-policeman named
Martinez was kno n to have been one
Iof the men who was shooting from the
bale ny of the Federation rooms. Other
detailed accounts were given Of various
occurrences, and in all of them witnesses
insisted that the Federation men were
the aggressors.
Jose Mauleon then asked permission
to make statement, which was grant
ed. Mauleon told the Secretary that
the San Juan News was tor1nenting
him into violence, in order to put him in
prison, that hardly day passed without
that paper writing the most scandalous
articles about him. He stated that ad-
vcrtisements were written which openly
insulted him, and that if he were enrag.
ed into violence the Secretary should
know that the News was the cause of
the trouble. He asked the Secretary
to stop the News articles, and said that
he would guarantee the immediate
ceasing of all disorders and quarrels
of any kind. The meeting was adjourn
ed until tomorrow morning when the
final testimony will be taken.

Coming back from Martinique the
young man had purchased green cocoa
nuts at one of the other islands, to
present to his friends as rare delicacies.
"And cheap" he said why, l only
paid 32 pence, say 64 cents, for
a big sack with two dozen nuts in it.
OF course, had to pay about S. to
have the things carted about when I
moved, but I think it was worth the
price when you consider how rare they
are and how difficult to secure"
His disagreable friend said
"If you will go to Pier Noon South
Street, there is a man who has a ship
with 100000 green cocoanuts in it, and
he will give you as many as you can
carry away. When his ship goes away
another ship will bring in another load,
so that you may have green cocoanuts
always for the mere trouble of going
after them"
