LIEUT.. DAY NOW ON TRIAL
TELLS OF KILLING NATIFES ON
 MAJOR WALLER'S ORDER.
The Shooting of n Spy-AccuSed Put u Bullet Through the Native's Head to Finish Him--Major Waller Testifics- Have Been Justined in Disobeying Walters Order.

Manila, April 17.-The mixed court T. Waller of the marine corps on the charge of executing native of Samar Lieutenant John H. A. Day of the ma rine corps on the same charge. Lieu He said the man shot January 19 was a spy who was shot by Major Walters orders and added:
 ''I ordered Private Kresge to fire at his head and ordered Mcgee to fire at the center of his back. After the shoot ing I saw convulsive shudder of the mans shoulders, placed my own revol- yer to his forehead and shot him dead. I ordered the police to leave the body on the ground as an example to the natives"
 Major Waller testified that he ordered the shooting of eleven men January 20, but denied ordering the execution of man January 19. He admitted he was very ill at that time.
 Surgeon Love testified that Major Walters temperature January 19 was 105. His illness then was such that he was not fitted to command. It was likely he might have given the order and forgot all about 1t. He thought an officer would have been justified in dis obeying the order.

Base Ball at Welaka.

A very spirited base ball game was
played here last Saturday between
the Welaka and Huntington teams,
resulting in a score of 8 to II in favor
of the Welaka's. This game was
witnessed by about 75 people from
the surrounding country and was a
clean and pleasant bout from start
to finish. Both teams were little
weak, yet the playing was very good.
1t was a surprise to see such n turn
out-the best of the kind since the
freeze-and it goes to show that the
peninsula has fine lot of young peo-
pie coming on. Most of the old play
ers have taken back seat. Welaka
furnished an abundance OF every
thing to be desired in the way of u
splendid dinner. Among those from
a distance we noticed the Bard lad
les from Norwalk, M. w. Williams
and daughter from San Mateo and a
great number from nearby places.
On the 10Th inst, the same teams
will at Pomona. and large atten-
dance is expected. The Misses Wal
ker and their brothers and some
other ladies were also present from
Huntington, and contributed much
to the enjoyment of the game. Miss
Walker was official scorer, and Mr..
Winston stephens umpire, much to
the satisfaction Of all.

MARRIED INSTEAD OF WHIPPED

Prof. w. w. Womack, principal of
the public school at Stonefort, Ill !.
was called on month ago to correct
Mary Marshall, II fair pupil of IS
summers, for disobeying the rules of
the school. He gave her the choice
between whipping and suspension
from school. She chose the whip
ping, which the professor proceeded
to administer publicly. While he
was administering the lashos
the pleading eyes of the pupil
met those of the professor. With his
sternness suddenly changed to pity
for the culprit, he dropped his lash
and gave up the task. A few days
ago, y week after school closed, the
two were married at the home of the
brides parents in Stonefort.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
fFrom our Regular Correspondent. }


Washington, April N.-After the
most dramatic session of the Fifty
seventh Congress, and perhaps of many
preceding Congresses, the Cuban reci-
procity bill passed the House Of Rep
resentatlves last Friday by vote of
247 to 81. The bill, as passed, does not.
however. meet with the approval of
the avOwed friends of Cuba. Through
the efforts of the democrats, who voted
as one man and with an exhibition of
discipline such as has been seldom
equalled and with the help of certain
republicans who, it is claimed, had for
their object the eventual defeat of the
measure. the bill was amended in the
Committee of the Whole SO that it
would, on going into operation, remove
the differential on refined sugar and
so afford relief to the American con-
sumers as we'll as the Cuban producers
and-at the expense of the American
Sugar Refining Company. popularity
known as the Sugar Trust, in this form
the bill goes to the Senate where the
republicans have a majority of nearly
two to one and it remains to be seen
whether those republicans who were
so ready to afford relief to Cuba at the
expense of the beet sugar industry,
will be ready to afford that relief when
| it curtails the profits of the Trust.
The most remarkable feature of the
prolonged debate on Cuban reciproc-
ity was the speech of Representative
Cushman, Of Washington, who paid
his respects to the Reed rules and made
the assertion that in order to secure
the passage of any measure, no matter
how just he knew it to be, member Of
the House must "put bis manhood In
bis pocket and go trotting down the
little pathway that leads to the Speak.
er's room, where, by comparison. all
the glory that clustered around the
holy of holes in Solomon's temple
looks like thirty cents" He further
characterized the rules of the House
as "unrepublican, undemocratie and
unAmerican. Referring to General
GrOsvenor of Ohio, Mr.. Cushman said
that he had in his campaign many con.
sGituents who held absolutely opposing
views, but he continued, II finally
jprOcured the speeches of Congressman
IGrosvenor had them bound together
and went through that campaign
without scratch because l could al
ways prove or disprove anything thai
ever came up by the speeches of tht
gentleman of Ohio.

Unquestionably protection will enter
largely into the next campaign. When
our Industries, which, when protection
began were infants, have grown to
giants, protection is not necessary, nor
could it be when we sell manufactured
stuffs cheaper in foreign countries than
our own. Now the manufacturer
pleads that protection is for the bene-
fit of American labor. This is where
the deception and fraud comes; in.
Labor is not protected. The manufac
turer is made rich on the principle that
if he is protected he will protect the
man who works for him. II you leave
the manufacturer poor then the labor
er must be poor. The two do not go
hand in hand. When the manufacturer
grows rich he becomes as all others
careful of his means, and all the labor
er gets he earns. This state of affairs
will change.

A Graceful Compliment.

A graceful compliment was paid to
the V. M. I. officers in San Francisco
recently by Mr.. James Potter Lang
horne, prominent and distinguished
lawyer of that place and son of Mr.
John D. Langhorne, of Lynchburg, who
gave a dinner in honor of the V. M. I.
''boys" on duty at Camp Presidio,
among whom are Lieutenant Talbot,
of Richmond; Lieutenant Kilbourne,
Assistant Surgeon Clarke Collins, Lieu
tenant G. G. Marshall, Lieutenant Ar.
thur Shipp and Lieutenant Charles
M. Blackford. This dinner was given
at the Cosmos Club, and was appreciat
ed by the boys who are SO far away
from home. The dear old ''Alma
Mater" was freely discussed amid a
profusion of flowers and fruit.
Mr.. LanghOrne gave germen in hon.
or of Lieutenants Shipp and Blackford
the night before, which was among the
social events of the week.
Lieutenants Talbot, Marshall and
Blackford sail for Manila on the trans
port Frankfort to join their commands.
Mr.. Langhorne is an honor graduate
of the Virginia Military Institute
class '75-and is much interested in all
of the graduates of that institution,
who are on duty in San Francisco.
