BELL MAKES CLEAN SWEEP.

Cleared Up.
Manila, Feb. Is. Gen.. J. Franklin
Bell has practically cleaned up the in
surrection In Batangas province, the
troops under his command having
made n clean sweep of the district. 1t
IL not believed that all the insurgent
arms have been captured or surren-
dered. but that a number Of them have
been taken by the insurgents to other
provinces or safely hidden. The in
crease of robber bands in the prov
inces " Tayabas and Cavite show the
effects of the drastic measures adopted
In Batargas n Lagura provinces.
Gen. Bell avs the people Of these lat
ter provti ces never realized the terrors
OF war until they personally expert
erced its h~ardships. owing to the clos
Ing OF the ports and the concentration
OF the natives in the towns. He believes
that the insurgent leader Malvar is be-
coming exceedingly unpopular with the
Filipinos. and that when the natives
cease to fear his vengeance many will
be oun willing to betray him. What
has bean said of Batangas province ap-
plies almost equally to Laguna.

TAPER ATTENDED TO THE LAST
BY HIS SPIRITUAL AD-
VISEKS,

Chaska, Mimi. Feb. 10. - Andrew
Tapper this morning paid the penalty
with his life for the killing Of Rosa
MIX, q domestic whom a murdered on
the morning of June 3 last. All the
details of the execution which had pre-
Viousiy been arranged by the sheriff,
assisted by visiting sheriffs from other
counties. were carried out without a
hitch. The trap was prung at 12:45.
and q few minutes later life was de-
clared extinct by the attending ply
s1cians. Taper went to the gallows
attended by the two Lutheran minis
tiers. Rev. H. j. Raepke of Carver and
Rev. Henry Raepke of Chaska, whom
ne would not permit to leave him for
even . moment during his last day on
earth. The location Of the scaffold was
such hat Taper was spared q long
death march. His cell was on the side
o. the Jail away from the scanold, but
the steps from the platform reached di-
rect to the Jail door.
The Enclosure was not large enough
to accommodate the morbidly curious,
eager to witness the hanging. and only
sherifs and those permitted by
the law witnessed Tapper's end.
since sentenced to death Taper had
become religious and occupied much of
his time reading the Bible. He has eaten
well and. contrary to report, did O at
tempt to kill himself.
Taper was visited yesterday by q
few acquaintance. but had very little
TO say to them. He scarcely looked up
from h Bible he was reading and
spoke only when asked direct questions.
These he answered where possible by
yes or no. While lately he has adj
mitted that he killed Rosa Mixa, he
still persisted in declaring that he has
but q vague recollection Of the event.
that his mind was clouded during the
commission of the crime.
Taper was thirty-three years old,
weighed 1856 pounds and was six feet
two inches tall. His victim. Rosa Mixa,
vas eighteen years Of age. Her parents
reside at Montgomery, MINI.
The immediate cause of the assault
upon the girl was an insult offered her
Taper, and which she resented. He
orooded over this incident, drank freely
and then committed the crime.
Tapper's body was Immediately
handed over to relatives, who took it
20 Minneapolis, intending to inter It
on their arrival there.
