This shooting," he proceeded,
“brought the people to their doors,
and among those who came out was
an old man, who was shot in the ab-
domen and afterwards died. Later,
while firing was in progress, two other
old men, between the ages of 60 and
70, I should say, came out toward us
hand in hand and bearing a white
flag. Both were shot down, and the
sergeant reported to Captain McDon-
ald that he had killed two more nig-
gers. Another case was that of a
woman and two children, one in her
arms, who were killed, and then
burned up in their house.”
6’Brien said that when the company
was out marching single file at night
In the mountains an order came back
along the line to take no prisoners,
but he did not know who Issued the
order. In case there was fighting the
natives either fled or were killed.
Answering questions as to the burn-
ing of the woman and two children,
he said the woman was in a bamboo
shack and appeared at a door or win-
dow. No effort was made to rescue
her, but it would have been impossi-
ble, although she came to the door
while the shack was burning.
In answer to Senator McComas, he
said his company occasionally took
prisoners that were not killed. He
had seen many prisoners held by
other commands, and they were all
being treated kindly and were not be-
ing shot or killed. He admitted the
killing of prisoners was not general.
The killing of prisoners was a matter
“that lay with the officers.”

COURT RECEPTION HELD
Washington, May 19—Former Cor-
poral Richard O’Brien of North Ad-
ams, Mass., of company M, Twenty-
sixth volunteers, Who served in the
Philippines for eighteen months, was
before the senate committee on Phil-
plnes today.
Before O’Brien took the witness
stand Chairman Lodge laid before the
committee a letter from General R. P.
Hughes, enclosing a letter from Sen-
ator Culberson of the committee to
Captain V, H. Bridgeman of Balti-
mt>ry and the reply to that letter.
* 'wills letter Senator Culberson said
he had been Informed that Captain
Bridgman could give testimony of
having heard General Hughdb and
Other officers give orders for the ad-
ministration of the water cure. Cap-
tain Bridgman’s reply contained a de-
nial of this report General Hughes
In his letter said if there was to be
an investigation it should bethorough,
and enclosed a roster of officers in
his command whom he said he would
like to have summoned if his* conduct
was to be inquired into.
Senator Patterson read a letter from
W. S. Sniflin of Boston concerning a
letter of a son of Rev. Walker, serving
in the Philippines, in which it was
stated that he had given details of the
killing of 1,000 Filipinos. Sniflin said
that, notwithstanding Walker’s denial,
there was In his conduct and state-
ments no justification for the news-
paper reports.
Conduct With Women.
Witness O'Brien said he had been
present at Igbaras when the cure was
administered to the presidente of that
town, and then made a charge of a
serious nature against American offi-
cers there. “There was,” he said, “a
Spanish woman in the town—a woman
of education—who was violated by
the American officers.”
This statement was made without
any questioning, and as soon as the
witness had made it Senator Lodge
asked for the names of the officers.
These the witness said he could not
give, adding that he had not witnessed
the Incident, but that the woman's
husband was his authority for the
statement.
Senators Rawlins and Patterson ob-
jected to the testimony as mere hear-
say, and urged it should not go into
the record. The witness was then
asked if he could give farther proof
of the correctness of his charge. In
response he related another instance
of disorderly conduct which, he said,
had come tinder his own observation.
This occurred at San Joaquin, the
presidente of which place gave a re-
ception to which a number of native
women were invited from Iloilo.
“They were,” he said, “above the av-
erage, not peasant women.”
Among those present were Captain
McDonald, Lieutenant Plummer of
company M, and Major Cook. The
witness said these officers became in-
toxicated and while in that condition
threw off all their clothes except their
undershirts and their trousers, and,
catching the women about the waists,
insisted on their waltzing with them,
much to the disgust of the women.
Meat Twice a Week.
Further questioning brought out the
fact fMt O’Brien had not been on
good ’’arms with Captain McDonald.
This wSs due, he said, to the fact that
McDonald failed to issue the rations
due to his men. He believed, though
he had no proof, that the officer had
sold the rations which should have
been issued to the men. He Baid they
bad meat only twice a week, and bread
only twice during the entire eighteen
months of his stay in the Philippines.
He went on to say that there was
a price on the captain’s head offered
by the insurgents because of the offl*
^cer’s cruelties. Witness had seen him
strike a Filipino prisoner over the
head with a revolver, and said the
water cure was administered to the
same prisoner after be had taken the
oath of allegiance.
O’Brien then related particulars of
the capture of the town of Lonag, in
the province of Panay,. by a detach-
ment from the company of which he
was a member. As the troops ap-
proached the town they saw at a dis-
tance a native boy on a caribao and
one of the men fired a shot at him,
but as bis bullet failed to hit its ob-
ject others also fired, hjmself Included.
At first the witness said he had fired
Naval Appropriation Bill.
Washington, May 19.—Before ad-
journment today the house passed the
naval appropriation bill.
The feature of the debate was on
an amendment offered by Roberts of
Massachusetts providing that the
three ships provided for in the bill,
& battleship, a cruiser and gunboat,
should be built in the government
yards Adams of Pennsylvania tnade
a point of order against the amend-
ment, which the chair sustained, but
oh appeal by RobertB the chair was
overruled and the amendment was
agreed to. i
Under suspension of the rules the
bill for eight hours work on all gov-
ernment contracts was passed.
Philippine Bill.
Washington, May 19.—Only a brief
time was devoted by the senate today
to the consideration of the Philippine
government bill.
Dolliver of Iowa supported the bill,
which he said was one of the most
important pieces of constructive leg-
islation presented since the Civil war.
He arraigned the democratic minority
for opposition to the measure. He
insisted the Philippine insurrection,
as a military proposition, was a thing
of the past and declared that under
no circumstances would the United
States relinquish the Philippines.
STUDENT ON TRIAL.
Case of Young Gabriel Bishop Called
for Trial in Buffalo, N. Y.
Buffalo, N. Y„ May 19.—The case
of Gabriel Bishop, a young student
charged with manslaughter, was
called for trial today in the Erie
county supreme court. The trial
promises to be one of the most in-
teresting that has been before the
local courts in a long time.
The case itself is a peculiar one.
Young Bishop is charged with caus-
ing the death of a young man named
Austin on the night of July 8, 1899,
at a camp on Lake Cuba. It is al-
leged that Bishop caused a stick of
dynamite to be exploded in the camp,
with tire result that Austin was
killed. While the evidence against
Bishop was purely circumstantial, the
first trial resulted in finding him guil-
ty of manslaughter. The decision
was reversed on appeal and a new
trial ordered. Bishop is the son of
one of the most prominent and
wealthy families in western New
York. He is at present attending the
University of Michigan, where he
went after being denied admission to
Cornell university while the present
charges are hanging over him.

Freedom of the Gulf City Given Nep-

Galveston, Tex., May 19— Neptunp
Carnival week opened today with
splendid weather. The city is gayly
decorated and .the hotels and board-
ing houses are crowded with stran-
gers. A most elaborate program has
been arranged and every day of the
week will be full of brilliant features.
Every nationality represented among
the residents of the city will be con-
spicuous in the grand parades. The
entire city is given up to the festivi-
ties. The indications are that little
business will be done except that per-
taining to the festival, and the whole
population of the city will devote the
week to the enjoyment of the splendid
pleasures prepared and the entertain-
ment of the city’s guests. When
King Neptune arrived today from his
regal caves in the island of Balopopus
he, with his retinue, were greeted
with royal honors and the freedom of
the city is theirs for the entire week.
The grand parade was one of the
finest spectacles of the kind ever
seen in this country.
St. Petersburg, May 19.—The czar’s
thirty-fourth birthday was celebrated
throughout the empire yesterday. Te
Deums were spng in all the churches;
a brilliant court reception was held at
the Zarskoie-Sselo palace near St. Pe-
tersburg, and every city, town and
hamlet was ablaze with white, blue
and red by day and with illuminations
by night.
Despite these outward manifesta-
tions of loyalty, however, there is no
disguising the state of unrest among
the czar’s subjects, and especially
among the working people of central
Russia. The alarming progress of the
revolutionary agitatien forms the
main subject of conversation of all
classes, especially manufacturers and
commercial men.
Every day brings forth . fresh re-
ports to the capital of strikes and dis-
orders. First it is an outbreak of
Btudents at Kieff, and the fresh disor-
ders in the Poltava and Kharkoff prov-
inces, where, according to official re-
ports, not less than 20.000 peasants
are participating in riots and in the
pillage and destruction of estates. It
is well known that the czar abandoned
his customary Easter visit to Moscow
because of the popular unrest in that
city.
Liberalism of Czar.
With such a condition of affairs
there is little cause for wonder in the
reported unhappiness of the imperial
couple. Naturally of a morose and
melancholly disposition, Nicholas II
has had little to lighten the heavy
burden of his position since ascend-
ing the throne. That, he has meant
well can not be denied. On his thirty-
first birthday, three years ago, he gave
evidence of his liberalism by abolish-
ing the system of deportation of con-
victs to Siberia. A year later he took
the initiative in the movement which
led to the universal peace conference
at The Hague. Those in a position
to know inside facts assert that Nich-
olas II had endeavored constantly to
bring about reforms that would bet-
ter the condition of the masses and re-
move the chief causes for the popular
unrest. In this direction he has ever
had the moral support and encourage-
ment of the czarina, than whom no
woman among all the royalties of Eu-
rope is more esteemed or beloved.
Reform Blocked.
But at every step he has had to en-
counter the fierce opposition of all-
powerful influence of the reactionary
element which has succeeded in put-
ting insurmountable difficulties in the
path of every measure of reform.
This phase of the situation was strik-
ingly illustrated a few weeks ago by
the resignation of General Vannovsky,
the minister of education, who was ap-
pointed to that post after the murder
of M. Bogoiiepoff. During his term
of office General Vannovsky consist-
ently endeavored to redress the legit-
imate academic grievances of the
students and to wean them from revo-
lutionary agitation. But the opposi-
tion of the dominant element in gov-
ernmental affairs thwarted all his re-
form plans and there was nothing left
for him to do but to resign his post.
Meanwhile the condition of affairs
throughout Russia is going frojn bad
to worse and there is no predicting
what the end will be. The attitude
of the workmen toward their employ-
ers is openly threatening, in striking
contrast to the subservience of a few
years ago. A curious feature of the gee her, could not arrive at any defl-
agitation is its anti-foreign character,»n|te conclusions as to the cause of
especially as the movement is partly
of foreign origin. The chief part in

Will Cost More in St. Louis Account
Laundry Prices.
St. Louis, Mo., May 19.—A general
increase in laundry prices was put
ip'effect in St Louis today. The ad-
vance was agreed upon by the pro-
prietors of all the large laundries in
the city, who say that their action
was made necessary by the Increase
in prices of material. They say that
soap has advanced in price 40 per
cent, starch 15 per cent and horse
feed 100 per cent
Shortly after 10 o’clock yesterday
morning Deputy Sheriff Comstock was
attracted by the curious actions of a
young lady who was clinging to one
of the trees ot the park that surround
the court house. Calling Officer Geo.
Harold, who happened to be near, the
two went to see what had befallen the
young woman.
Upon their approach they heard her
walling that her father was buried
there and that she had come to pray
at his grave. Her actions betokened
that for- some reason her mind had
become unbalanced, so they gently re-
moved her arms from around the tree
and carried her to the Walker room-
ing house near by, where Mrs. Walker
kindly placed her in a comfortable
bed.
Inquiries soon established the fact
thpt she had arrived here at 7:40 yes-
terday morning upon the G. H. train.
Miss Elizabeth Johnson, whose ad-
dress is care of Mrs. S. Svenson,
717 Gladys avenue, Lds Angeles, Cal.,
and who was on the same train, had
evidently formed the acquaintance of
the girl as her address was found in
the girl’s valise, and Miss Johnson
was seen to bid the girl good-by at the
depot. After bidding Miss Johnson
good-by the girl quickly passed out
of the depot and evidently got into
the conveyance that brought her to
the place where she was found.
Both Conductor Ames, who had
charge of the train that brought the
girl into town, and the news agent,
Mr. George Castillano, who came all
the way from San Antonio on the
same train, say that nothing in the
girl's conduct during the time they
had noticed her was in any way pecu-
liar or would lead one to suppose her
other than in her right mind. They
are positive that if she was drugged
it must have been after she left the
train or they would certainly have
noticed something wrong. The news
agent said he sold the girl two books
and he also sold Miss Johnson a book
a copy of which the girl was very
anxious to have. As he had only the
one copy, she requested he bring her
a copy on his next trip in and she
would call for it- at the depot next
Friday. In fact, her entire conduct
was rational and showed no indication
whatever that her mental faculties
were impaired in the least.
In the girl’s hat was found written
the name Ada Barker and the word
“Ward No. 6.” When asked if her
name was Ada Barker she said yes.
Her actions were those of one who
has suffered a severe mental shock
rather than those of one drugged. She
had po symptoms at all of any acute
mental affection. She seemed despon-
dent and suffering from profound mel-
ancholia. She was passive and was
in no way violent or restless.
She persisted in saying that her
father was buried across the way
from her room and that she ought not
to be kept from going to his grave.
In broken parts the information was
gotten from her that she bad a trunk;
that she had given the cheek to a
man on the train; that she was a nurse
by profession; that her home was in
New York; that she had been In Key
West, and that she had landed in Gal-
veston. Beyond this incoherent his-
tory nothing could be learned and the
jlnformation secured is shrouded in
mystery because of her mental condi-
tion.

STRIKE SITUATION.
President Mitchell Establishes Strike
Headquarters at Wilkeabarre.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., May 19.—Presi-
dent John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers of America arrived here
from Hazleton shortly after 9 o’clock
tonight and established strike head-
quarters at Hotel Hart. The national
president stated that so far as the
miners’ side of the controversy was
concerned the situation had not
changed in the least.
Mitchell’s attention was called to
the fact that the city of Philadelphia
contracted for a supply of bituminous
coal to take the place of anthracite
which has been cut off by the railroad
companies furnishing it. In reply to
the question as to whether the mine
workers would attempt to prevent the
shipment of soft coal to places where
hard coal is used, he said:
"Considering the proposition in a
general way, I will say we do not
desire to make any city a victim or
have any person suffer because of
our quarrel with the coal companies.”
He was pressed for a more explicit
statement, but refused to go into it
any deeper, except to say it was a
matter which would have to be settled
by the three executive boards of the
anthracite fields.
They will meet here Wednesday.
Judging by the action of the union
during the last strike, when efforts
were made to stop the shipment of
soft coal into the anthracite territory,
it is not unlikely the miners may take
similar action with the next few days.
Two carloads of foreigners left Ha-
zleton today. Most of them were
booked for New York, whence they
will sail for their native land. Most
of the foreigners will seek work in
the bituminous region.

All Instances of Barbarity.
Boston, May 19.—-A letter from
President Roosevelt, dated May 9, in
which lie declares his determination
to discover and punish every instance
of barbarity by United States troops
in the Philippines has been made pub-
lic by Bishop William Lawrence of
the Episcopal diocese of Massachu-
setts. It was written In reply to a
communication from the bishop sent
by direction of the convention of the
diocese to place before the president
resolutions condemning alleged cru-
elties and expressing confidence in
the administration. The president
says:
"No provocation however great can
lie accepted as an excuse for misuse
of necessary severity of war, and
above all, for torture of any kind or
shape. Long before any statements
had been made public and before any
action had been taken by congress
the war department had ordered a
rigid investigation of certain charges,
including the charges of Major Gar-
doner.”
the arousing of the workmen to a
sense of their miserable situation has
been played by hundreds of well edu-
cated men who have given up careers
in order to live among the people, to
teach them to read and write and to
assimilate the doctrines of revolu-
tionary socialism. A more potent in-
fluence, however, is the fact that most
of the factory hands come into con-
tact with foreign workmen and hear
of the rights and liberties enjoyed by
the workmen abroad.

B’Nai B'Rith, was made up of formal
reports of committees. The afternoon
was spent in sight seeing and tonight
an elaborate banquet and ball took
place at the Coates House.
Judge Fall, of the legal firm of
Clark, Fall, Hawkins A Franklin of
this city, returned from Las Cruces,
N. M., last night, where he had been
attending the district court of Dona
Ana county. Judge Fall, through a
decision of Judge Parker of that
county, has won a case of considera-
ble importance, both from a legal
standpoint, because it Involved some
very interesting questions, and from
a pecuniary standpoint, since it made
his client, Lee Moore, $60,000 the
richer.
The case was that of Lee Moore vs.
Fitzgerald Moore for recovery of $60,-
000, which it was adjudged was the
equivalent of one-third of the worldly
possessions of the defendant. It was
a most remarkable case, in that its
petition was based upon a verbal
agreement made in 1872 between
Moore, senior, and his first wife, at
their separation, when the plaintiff,
Lee Moore, was an infant in arms.
He is now 31 years, of ago, and a
wealthy man.
There was some dispute about the
distribution of the property at that
time, the wife demanding her half.
Being refused, she said that she would
return to her home in Jacksonville,
Tex., and rear the boy, if the hus-
band should Hold one-third of the es-
tate in trust for their son, I^e, to be
restored to him as soon as he should
become of age, or as soon thereafter
as he should demand it.
The first wife was Miss Neeley.
She carried out her part of the agree-
ment to the letter, returning to her
own parents and rearing her boy
without assistance.
When it came to the settlement with
the boy that was apparently another
matter. Fitzgerald Moore married
again in 1881 a Miss Sarah P. Wil-
son of Nolan county, Tex., and had
become estranged from his first wife,
in that way. Hence, the suit in which
the above judgment was rendered yes-
terday by Judge Parker.
The attorneys for the plaintiff were
fortunate enough to have In their
possession two letters, one of which
was written in 1881, the other a few
years ago, in which Moore acknowl-
edged the fact of his having made the
agreement as above stated, and these
were, it is claimed, the basis of Jqdgo
Parker's decision.
The judge held that the verbal con-
tract was a trust and as such Fitz-
gerald Moore, was bound to respect
it. The matter was not tried by a
jury, but the petition and its plead-
ings, as filed last September in Las
Cruces, were passed upon on their
merits by Judge Parker, sitting as a
court oi equity, and a judgment ren-
dered accordingly. The attorneys for
the defense were Messrs. McMillan &
Reynolds of Albuquerque and Senator
Turney of El Paso. The matter has
attracted considerable attention from
its legal aspects, and will be regarded
with deep interest by all the legal
fraternity.
As soon as the judgment was ren-
dered Lee Moore’s attorneys applied
for and received an order of the sals
of a ranch in Otero county, N. M., with
its 1,400 head of cattle and some prop-
erty in Tularosa to satisfy the judg-
ment. Most all the property of the
defendant is located in El Paso. He
owns real estate, the value of which
Is estimated at $100,000, some of which
is in prominent locations. Among his
holdings are the American Kitchen
property on San Antonio street and
the building at the corner of Stanton
and San Antonio streets.
The defendant is a resident of El
Paso, and is a familiar figure about
the streets, having been here for the
past twenty years. Most all of his
money has been the result of the
rapid increase of property valuations.
The son is running a ranch owned by
his father in Otero county.
A similar suit, instituted by the son
in El Paso courts for the recovery of
the property in this state, is now
pending and will be tried on the first
Monday in June.
