TWO SOLDIERS ARE
SENTENCED TO DIE
Especial to The Sentinel.D

Manila. Sept 1S.-August Hicks
and Tillman Taylor, formerly sold
iers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. who
were convicted of murder for sep
arate offenses. today were sentenced
to be hanged in Moro Province. They
are the first Americans who ever
We're given the death sentence IN that
Province.
The evidence against Taylor was
circumstantial, but was considered
clear. The prisoner denies his guilt.
anu it is probable that an appeal will
be taken to the supreme court in
Washington, on the ground that the
soldier was deprived of his right to
a jury trial through no fault of his
own.

Announcement to this effect will
be made Immediately after the return
of the President to Washington from
Oyster Bay.
In the early days of the campaign
ii was not the intention of either the
candidate or the Republican presi-
dent to 90 on the stump.
The conduct of the campaign was
to be as nearly Identical as possible
with that of the Mckinley campaign
in 1896, when Mr.. Mckinley con-
tented himself with speeches from
the front porch of his little home at
Canton. Nearly every one who gave
Judge Taft advice Immediately after
he received the nomination and be-
fore he left Washington for Hot
Springs, advised him to conduct IA
campaign of dignity" Just as Nc
Kinley did in 1896
But the conclusion is now reached
that every possible means of influ-
encing voters must be resorted to if
Mr.. Taft is to be elected. 1t is de-
cided that extreme measures are
needed to arouse the Republican vot-
ers, consequently both Taft and
Roosevelt will take the stump

coEUR D'ALENE RESERVATION
Aiiottins Lands Slow wWork-Openjna
Seems Remote.

The Tekoa Blade Of last Friday pub
fishes an interview with AlIotting Agent
W. b. Sans, which bears the stamp of
being official and throws light on the
opening OF the reservation to the public,
which must soon follow after the aIlot-
ment is finished. From the looks of
things this will not take place before the
spring OF next year. Mr.. Sans will soon
go to DeSmet, Idaho, where he will take
up his headquarters previous to begin
ming the work of allotment. Mr.. Sans
said:
There are at present COL Indians on
the reservation government pay roll and
the work of making IA satisfactory allot.
ment will be tedious, and cannot be COM
pleted before late next fall There ia
nothing TO be gained by rushing through
the work, performing it imperfectly or
unsatisfactorily, and running the risk of
it having to be done over again. This
is Job in which one should make haste
slowly, and be sure that he is right as
he proceeds. | expect my work to take
up all the good weather during the pres
ent year. The work of making reports
10 the interior department, which will be
in triplicate, will consume from two to
three months longer. These reports
have to be made out with the greatest
care and must be strictly accurate.
They will then all be carefully checked
up in the office of the department at
Washington before any patents can be
issued to the Indians for the lands which
they have selected. An idea may be
formed of the slow and tedious nature of
the allotment work when it ia stated
that every quarter section that is chosen
must be surveyed, and all the corners
plainly marked with stone monuments.
at is a work requiring great care, as
a slight error may cause all the work to
be done the second time. | intend to
Obvate this difficulty, so far az possible,
and shall do every ting in my power to
guard against mistakes | can cite a
number of instances delayed by an at
tempt to finish too hastily. one OF which
was the Quinault reservation, in this
state, where the work of allotment was
begun more than two years ago and is
not yet ended
''If, as have heard, the thought is
entertained by some that | will delay
the work to which | have been assigned
on account Of the per diem pay, they
should rid their minds Of that idea, as
am not dependent on this particular
position for a means OF livlihOod. There

proportions. Having now reached the

which has been unearthed in many city

this forward movement among laymen
will help to bring about. The bishops

and promises to be an event OF great
interest. general admission will be
charged of % cents for children, so cents
for adults. 1t is hoped the public will
not allow this to keep them away, as
there are expenses to be met and it is
thought this is the best and easiest way
to supply the funds. Besides, music will
be provided, which, with the debate, will
give an evenings entertainment worth
attending. The High school orchestra
will be present and play several selections.
This is the third series OF the State.
Debating League and is for the champ
ionship of the state of Washington,
The question to be debated is: Re
solved, That the system Of initiative
and referendum outlined in section l,
article 4, of the constitution of the state
of Oregon should be adopted by the
state OF Washington"
COlfax will support the affirmative OF
this proposition, Walla Walla the mega
tive. Colfax will be represented by
Katherine Ryan and Walter Strickler.
WalIa Wala's standard bearers will be
Henry Reborn and Philo Rounds.
Walla Walla has so far been pitted
against st. Paul's Academy of Walla
Walla, Waitsburg and Pomeroy, win
nirg all three by default. COlfax was
pitted against Dayton but was left
without an opponent in the second
series, so this is our first debate this
