Rear Admiral Cochrane Throws
Light on It.

London. Feb @11.-Rear Admiral Basil
E. Cochrane. who had a nephew in the
Grenadier Guards. who was compelled to
retire owing to the injustice manifested
towards him BY his superior officers. has
column and a half letter in the Times
on the spanking and f1ogging of subalterns
in that regiment. which caused such a
scandal few days ago. . -
Admiral Cochrane describes it as sys
TEN which, happily for the reputation of
the British army, Is connfied to this par
ticular first battalion of the brigade of
the Guards and is now considered tradi-
tiona1 of holding subalters' courts mar
tial for the trial of young officers on any
charges brought against them, not only of
a social but of a military nature. ..
This f1ogging was administered on the
lower part Of the back, which was barred
for punishment by the removal of the
neither garments. Blows of great severity
were applied with a cane or stick In num-
bers varying from six to forty A young
officer last year. who received the latter
number tainted under. the cruel severity
of the punishment. But even six blows,
the admiral says. with the instrument
employed were sufficient to make the
blood flow. as was constantly the case
What greatly added to the inhumanlty OF
these proceedings was that all the Off
GERS present we're compelled to administer
their share of the strokes if the numbers
permitted. and comrades were obliged tc
Il apply blows to their own personal friends
under threats of receiving similar pun
ishment themselves.

PANICKY STOCKHOLDERS
Turf Investment Concerns in Bad
Way.

St Louis. Feb. 11.--Hundreds Of pam
icky men and women yesterday invaded
the offices of the various turf investment
concerns in ST. Louis and demanded I'M
mediate payment of the stock they held.
In some cases the demands were salts
fed but in others they were reminded
that their stock is payable only on thirty
days notice or were put off with air
promises and engaging smiles OF the styl-
jshly attired young lady stenographers
Riots were averted at the international
Investment company and the John j.
Ryan & Company establishments by the
prompt response of the police department
to urgent telephone calls. Women sobbed
and tainted In the jams at one or two
places and men swore and fought to be
first at the cashiers windows.
The runs on the cooperative book
making companies continued all day, and
probably half a. million dollars In cash
was paid out to the excited and panic
stricken stockholders. ..~# -. .:.
The F. J. Arnold Turf Investment com
pany. whose notice that payment of stock
certificates would be temporarily sus-
pended" caused the collapse Of public
confidence in the turf investment bust
ness paid out no money. The whole turf
investment business seems to be dis
credited.

PHILIPPINE FIGHTING
Control of Railroad North of Manila
Is Lost.

Manila, Feb. 1.-THE concentration; of
the ladrones from Laguma. Batangas and
Cavite in the provinces Of Rial and Bula-
can is. strengthening the local outlaws,
and the district is being terrorized. e.
The railroad to the moth Of Manila is
beyond the control Of the scatteed con-
stabulary posts. General Allen has hur-
ried reinforcements to the north. and has
taken advantage Of the congressional ac-
ton by placing the Philippine scouts in
the field. Numerous commands are now
patroling the province of Bulacan. They
have frequent skirmishes with the Ia
drones. but 1t is not likely that they will
capture the principal leaders. who will
probably escape to the hills OF the neigh
boring provinces.
The present outbreak is the gravest or
the island of Luzon since the outbreak OF
the original revolution. Alarmists claim
that it is the beginning Of second insur-
recton, because the movement is so wide
spread and the armed men are carrying
the flags Of the Katipunan society.
