SHELLS SKINNED SURFACE.
Why Willoughby Point Was Startled
by Fort Monroe Projectiles.

An extraordinary and almost unpre-
cedented combination of weather conditions
making for the extreme flight of proiec-
tile is the explanation officially given by
Col. Potts, lately In command OF the artil-
iery post at Fort Monroe for the agitation
and excitement caused the inhabitants of
the summer resort at Willoughby Point
recently. The place is directly across Hamp-
ton Roads from the fort, and although here
tofore there has been much gun practice
there the inhabitants of the resort had
never known shells to drop into their resort
as they did on that particular occasion.
Col Potts report to the War Department
was that the day was absolutely calm and
the water as smooth as a sheet of glass. so
that when the projectiles struck the surface
at the end of the ordinary flight and should
have disappeared beneath the waves they
ricocheted, as a small boy skips a stone
over the water, until they reached the
beach. Col. Potts says that there was little
occasion for the alarm expressed because
the projectiles were practically spent"
and moreover the shells were unloaded 1t
is promised, however, that it shall not
occur again.

Iican Council.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
Chairman Sherman's Plan to Raise
Money for Expenses.


Money for Expenses.
Chairman Griggs of the democratic con-
gressionai committee was in New York to-
day. where he will look after ways and
means for securing funds for conducting
the coming campaign.
1t Is understood that the republican con-
gressional campaign committee has not re-
ceived encouragement from many of the
old sources of its income for the expenses
of political campaigns, and that instead of
looking to men of large wealth and to cor
porations as in the past, Chairman Sher-
man will inaugurate a system for collecting
small amounts from individual voters II
is said that under this system such small
amounts as 81 will be gladly received By
proper system Of collecting funds it is be-
lieved that very satisfactory amount may
be raised in this popular way. In order to
carry out this plan the, republican commit
tee will mail many thousands Of circulars
with the purpose OF setting as many people
as possible to work in getting money for
campaign expenses.
The advocates of this method of getting
money say that If half of the eight mil
lion men who voted for Roosevelt the last
time will send in dollar their entire pur-
pose will have been accomplished.

400 and 1000 Natives in Field
Regulars Ordered.

MANILA, July 23-A detachment of con-
stabulary, Lieut.. Williams, commanding,
encountered a band of six hundred Pula-
james near Buraen, on the Island of Leyte.
yesterday morning. Lieut.. Worswick, twelve
privates and Civilian Scout Mcbride were
killed.
The constabulary were driven back The
Pulajanes secured fourteen rifles and two
revolvers The bodies of Worswick, Nc
Bride and ten privates were recovered. Re-
Inducements of constabulary have been
sent from the nearest station.
Major Neville, commanding the military,
has ordered a company of the oath
Regular Infantry to be h urried to the
scene Major Neville ports that there
are from 400 to 1000 Pulajanes in the field
Lieut. Worswick was graduate of the
University of Kansas and was appointed to
the constabulary last February. He grad
uated from the constabuary school June,
so, and this was his first battle. Buraen is
situated in an isolated portion of Leyte.
Lieut. Worswick From Kansas.
Lieut. Jay G. Worswick was a graduate
of Kansas Agricultural College, Manhat-
tan. Kan, and was appointed to the Phil
ippine constabuiary from that place as the
result of the excellent recommendation
given him by Capt P. NJ. Shaffer, U. S. A,
instructor of military science at the col
lege. Lieut. Worswick was born at Oska-
looSa, Kan, IN 1881.
Burauen, in the Island of Leyte, was the
scene of a hard fight between instruction
lists and the police and constabulary on
June 10. Under the leadership of Caesario
Pastor a band of insurrectionists attacked
the police in the town and killed five or
them. Five other policemen were also seri-
ously injured in the fight and the rebels
managed to obtain the records of the town,
which they burned In the street. Caesario
Pastor was killed In the fight and number
of other revoIutionists met death, but their
comrades carried the bodies away and pre-
vented the policemen and constabulary
from learning how many natives We're kill
ed. At that time Pastor was known to
have $50 natives in his party. Lieut.. john
son and a detachment of the constabulary
pursued the marauders, but did not eaten
them, as they were too far In advance of
the government forces.
In 1904 and 1905 Leyte was the scene of
many fights between the insurrectionists
and the constabulary. Capt. Henry Barrett
of the constabulary was killed in 1904 while
storming a stronghold of a band of la
drones led by Faustino Ablen Juan To-
mayo was another leader who made much
trouble in the island and was pursued for
long time by Capt w. S. Grove of the
constabulary. But both of these leaders
managed to escape to neighboring islands
and are supposed to have been instrumental
in inspiring further trouble.
