BoLoED TO DEATH.
Horrible Fate Of Five American
Soldiers in Luzon.
General Amnesty Expected to Be De.
clared on July 4 Next.
Several Mindanao Dattos Ask for the
American Flag.

Manila, June 15.-Friendly natives in
Manila say report is current among
their countrymen that the five soldiers
of the 9Th Cavalry, who were captured
by the insurgents, May 80, have been
boloed to death near Teresa, in Morong
province, LuZon. This report has not
been confirmed by the American au
thorities of that district.
Twenty-Five members of a band of in
surgents who were captured while
fighting with Gen. Lukban in Samar
took the oath of allegiance to the
United States and were subsequently
released. Four members of the band
We're killed in the engagement which
resulted in the capture of their COM
panions. The p who have sworn al
legiance has seen Gen. Chaffee and
have promised to give him all the as
sistanCe in their power in the work Of
maintaining the present peace condi-
lions in Samar.
A commission has been sent to Samar
to appoint Senior Llorentes governor of
the island and to establish civil gov
eminent there.
1t is expected that a general amnesty
will be declared, July 4. This amnesty
will result in the release of the Filipino
prisoners now on the island of Guam.
The prospects in the island of Leyte
for speedy termination Of the armed
resistance there are bright. Since the
ports of the island We're closed, sur
renders of insurgents to the native
conStabulary have occurred daily.
Gen. Davis, the commander of the
American forces on the island of Min
danao has been Informed by Datto Ada
that two of the three MoroS who muir
dered the American soldier named
Lewis, were killed in the engagement at
Bazan between Moros and Americans
last May and that the other murderer
had disappeared.
An American sentry belonging to the
engineers, was badly cut up with a bolo
in the hands of n Moro while on duty
near Wears.
Several Dattos under the Sultan Of
Mindanao have called upon Col. Frank
D. Baldwin of the 9th Infantry, and
have asked for American flags. This
action on the part of the Dattos is con-
sidered equivalent to taking the oath
of allegiance to the United States.

be relieved. They are now paid in

SETTING FOREST FIRES
Is the Charge Against Percy N. Shurt
left Of Carver. Mass.

Carver, June 1J.-After an investiga-
ton covering about six weeks, in which
the police of this section Of the state,
under the direction of Fire Marshal
Scott of Fall River, have bbeen engag-
ed, an arrest has been made in connec-
ton with the forest fires which ragged
from Kingston to Plymouth and Car
yer in May. The man captured is Percy
n. Shurtleff, 90 years of age, of Carver.
Shurtleff was arraigned in court,
Saturday, and seven charges We're filed
against him. He waived the reading
of them and pleaded not guilty. The
hearing was postponed until June 10.
The fires which it is claimed Shurt-
left set burned over hundreds of acres
of wooded land, causing loss of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars. Sew
eral buildings were destroyed in the
track of the flames, and barns, cattle
and tools lost
The authorities started to work early
and conducted a systematic inquiry
into the proable cause of the fires.
Nothing of importance developed I'M
til very recently, when suspicion point
cd toward Shurtlen, who, his parents
claim, has weakness for setting fires.
It is also alleged that the prisoner has
confessed to Deputy Scott.
The accused refuses to talk.

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS
Hold Annual Communion and Send
Greetings to Mrs. Eddy.

Boston, June 15-The annual COM
munion services of the Mother church
of the Christian Science denomination
in Mechanics hall, today. were attended
by about 1900 people, 1000 at the morn
ing service and 5000 at the afternoon
service, Notwithstanding the inclem-
ency of the weather. The principal
feature of the service was a message
from the pastor emeritus, the Rev.
Mary Baker Eddy. The reading of the
message required 20 minutes, every
word of which was distinctly heard in
the remotest corners of the vast audi
torium.
Another important feature was a
telegram expressing gratitude and ap-
probation to Mrs. Eddy, which was
put in the form of a motion and unani-
mously adopted by the audience rising
in their places. This telegram address,
ed to her in Concord, N. H., says:
For more than 80 years your voice
and pen have proclaimed that God, who
hath done all things Well has ordained
for no man no law but the law of life
and holiness. During these years your
constant plea has been the voice of
righteousness to this day and genera
ton, entreating for higher and more
genuine morality; for the obligation of
sin; for the daily life in imitation of
Christ; for a better citizenship. the
tranquility of nations and the reign of
Christ on earth.
Your ministry has been to preach
Christ's theology which promises to
destroy ali the works of the devil, in
Guiding sickness and sin. Because your
consistent daily life has been for us an
example of lofty purpose of unfailing
love and of humble chastened obedience
to God, we desire to thus make known
our profound appreciation and to mani
fest to you our reasonable gratitude
and thanksgiving"
The board of directors will meet, to-
morrow, to elect a new set of officers
and it is expected that in consequence
of recent amendments to the bylaws, q
number of different officers will be
chosen. 1t is also understood that a
new pastor Of the Mother church in this
city will be elected to succeed John T..
Willis.
