Philippine AFFAIRS.
Taft Defends Some of the Former In
sureent Leaders.

Manila, Aug. 26.-The defense in the
Freedom sedition case has called Gov
ernor Taft as a witness to show that
many former insurgent leaders who
were guilty of various offenses not rec
ogniZed by the laws of war have been
appointed to civil positions. Governor
Taft gave testimony to the effect that
many such former insurgents had been
appointed, but that they had proved
honest, straightforward and earnest.
He said that some of them had been
guilty of murder from American stand
ards. but that from their own stand
point they undoubtedly believed their
conduct of the war to have been legit-
innate
Governor Taft said that he had found
these appointees to be loyal. and that
they were not chosen because they hap
pened to be insurgent generals. but be.
cause they were men of influence
among their own people. He said the
experience of the civil authorities with
these men had been most satisfactory.
Governor Taft has resumed the COVER
norship of the archipelago. relieving

governor during Judge Taft's absence.

Fruit Hiqh In Denver,

Denver, Aug. 2G.-The best Colorado
fruit is going East this year. because
of the unprecedented demand from that
section. Denver commission men say
that it is almost impossible to secure
the best grade OF peaches and pears for
the local market. The dry senson has
had Its effect on the Colorado crop and,
while favored sections are doing well,
the total fruit crop of the state will
probably fall fifteen per cent. below
that OF last year. This, with the un-
usual demand in eastern cities, has had
the effect Of raising local prices at
least twenty per cent. over last years
figures.
A few shipments Of eastern Concord

If bailed out he says he will go

There is much comment on the
conclusion of the jury. But those
who heard the evidence clear thru
seem not surprised that the pris-
oner came so near acquittal. Lou
Bluffs testimony was contradicted
and her letter to her aunt in ILL
nois was not considered i'll evi-
dence. The eleven men consider
ed the killing accidental. At no
time was there a vote for murder
in the first degree. 1t is under
stood that the juror who stood for
conviction on each ballot cast and
who hung the jury, was for a SELL
tence of ten years in the penitenti-
airy.
Some now think that Buff will
never be tried again, tho just how
that could be is not now very
plain.
