farmers of that community have al
ready shipped about $50 carloads Of
vegetables and fruits to the Northern

the green and wrapped fruit is going
at about 80 cents. Last Tuesday

The Natives Tried to Make II such

W. T. Waller, United States marine
corps, by far the most interesting
parsonage to reach here on the trans
port Warren. which brought the bat
tle-searred remnant of the fighting
Ninth infantry into port, expressed
emphatic views of the matter of war
in the Philippines.
Only Severe Measures Effective.
"You cans stop the revolution in
the Philippines unless you take the
severest measures" said Maj. Waller,
in an interview. you would hate to
see your wounded and dead mutilat-
ed. I can not describe the fearful
condition in which we found some of
the bodies of men under my com
mand who were murdered by insur-
rectos. / received both verbal and
written orders from Gen. Jacob
Smith to kill all insurrectos who
refused to surrender. 1t was the
only thing that could be done, and /
never questioned Gen. Smiths orders
with one exception. This exception
i refuse to state. A fair estimate
of the number of natives killed by
the men of my command would be
four. hundred to five hundred. These
were all killed in battle with the ex-
ception of IL carriers, insurrectos at
heart, who were tried by court-mar-
tial and shot. There was only one
woman shot, and she was only slight
ly wounded. She happened to be in
the breastworks of fort my men
were storming.
A Vigorous Comparison.

in the world except Australia said
Maj. Waller, "but Samar-well. hell is
winter resort compared to Samar."
The major spoke huskily through
a deep cold that he contracted during
the home voyage on the transport,
but he was obviously sincere. His
dark eyes snapped and his nostrils
twitched at the mention of the island
that Gen. Jacob J. Smith had ordered
him to convert into bowling wilder
ness.

Through the board Of supervisors
of Monroe county the war depart
ment has notified the Southern
Bridge Company of Birmingham to
remove distractions to navigation in
the Tombigbee river at the Amory
bridge. United States engineers have
inspected the bridge and river chan
mel and reported that the piles driven
temporarily for the construction OF
the bridge have not been properly re-
moved but were sawed off at low
water and the stumps at low stage
become a dangerous obstruction to
navigation. The bridge was built
with a draw span, in 1898, and has
been a matter of litigation from the
act of letting the contract. The bid
ders were warned by counsel that the
order of the board of supervisors for
Its construction was IN violation OF
the law, but they accepted the con-
tract and proceeded to build the
bridge. The payments were enjoined
by the taxpayers and the injunction
was sustained by the Circuit Court.
1t was carried to the Supreme Court,
where the lower court was affirmed,
and has since appeared in some shape
in the United States District Court,
and is now under advisement OF
Judge Niles.
1t is said that the bridge company
at the outset was Unidentified by pri-
vate parties, though by whom and to
what extent is not a matter of REQ
