TEACHERS AMBUSHED.
Horrible Deed of FiIipinos Near the
Town of Cebu.

Manila, Aug. 12.-An investigation
made by the constabulary to clear up
the facts in the killing of Cebu
coaching party of four school teachers,
shows that the party was ambushed
twelve miles from Cebu. Two teach
ers were shot and killed at the first
volley, a third, who ran, was shot in
the back, and a fourth, who was cap
tured, was shot In the chest while he
was praying for mercy. 1t is suspect

that sufficient evidence has been Sc
cured to convict all the participants in
