 Joseph Squire Davey, son of Rich ard k. Davey, manager of the Long Hill Varnish works on Beech street, is reported as having been shot twice in the leg recently while doing duty in the Philippines. As result he is said to have had his leg amputated. Young Davey enlisted in the United States army June 15, 1899. His term of en- listment expires on the 10th of next June and he expected to be home be- fore July 4. A Democrat reporter called at the home of Davey's father this morning and asked him if the re- port was true concerning his son being shot. His reply was that he was un- able to say whether it was or not. His son did not mention the matter in his last letter He had heard the news in- directly from local soldier who had returned recently to this city. This soldier, however, was not stationed in the Philippines. Young Davey is q member of the Sixth infantry and on last accounts was fighting in the noun tains near Manila.

IMPORTANT CAPTURE,
Insurgent General Noriel and Staff in
 American Hands.


 MANILA, Alarcn 21.--Noriel, the only insurgent general, with the excep- ton of Malvar, still in the field, has been captured by Lieutenant Frank E. Bamford of the Twenty eighth in- fantry.
 major, captain, lieutenant and five men, who were acting as a body guard to Noriel, were captured with him. They have all been held as pris oners of war. There is some reason to believe that one member of this body guard is General Malvar in disguise. Lieutenant Bamford is certain that if this general is not one of the captured party then he is in the immediate neighborhood of the scene of Noriefs capture.
 Noriel has been one of the recognized leaders of the insurrection since 1899. He was captured on his way to the coast while endeavoring to escape. He admits that the insurrection, as such, is over and says that the few re- naining leaders are fleeing, as they do not command enough men to warrant surrenders commensurate with their rank.
 The continuation of the trial by court martial of Major L. w T. Wal Ter of the marine corps, who is charged with the execution without trial, of natives on Samar island, developed no new features:
 At noon yesterday the health authori- ties reported a total of forty nine cases of cholera and thirty-nine deaths.
