Lieutenant Gilmore made the follow n HtaUfinent to a correnpoudent of the Associated I'reai: "The Fillplnoa ahanduned us on the niKhtof IM:ember 10. We had reached the Ahalut river, near its aoiirce that morning, and the Filipinos rafted ui over. We then went down the stream along a rough trail, guarded by a com pany of Filipinos. That night we were separated from Hue guard, and another company, armed wiMi Manners, was pot In charge of u. I auapected something, and questioned the lieutenant in com mand. He said: " 'I have ordere from General Tino to shoot you all, but my conscience forbids. I shall leave you here.' "1 begged him for two rifles to protect us from savages, adding that I would give him letters to the Americans, who would pay him well and keep him from all harm. He refused this, bow ever, saying he would not dare to comply. Soon afterward he left with his company. "We had seen some savages lo war paint around us, and we prepared to fight them with cobblestones, the only weapons that were available to ut. The next morning we followed the trail of the ' l'!ll..t- I If ..... ruipiiio soiuiers, leenng mat It was butter to stick to them than be murdered by savages, but we could not catch up wllb them. Then I ordered the men to build rafts, In the hope of floating down the river. It was a forlorn hope, but I knew the river must empty into the sea somewhere. I was so weak myself that I did not expect to get out, but I thought some of the men could "On the morning of December 18. while we were working on the rafts, the Americana came toward us, yelling. One of my men shouted : 'They are on us.' He was lanhing a raft of bamboos. I, however, knew it was not the yell of sivagea, but the yell of Americans. Tho rescuing troops thought we bad Filipino guards and called to us In English to lie down so that they could shoot the Filipi nos, inai waa mo uiio uwj v. wi pers and men I ever saw." Lieutenant Gilmore could not speak enthusiastically euouxh about the 140 , picked men who had rescued him and his party. "While we were in the hands of Gen eral Tino'a men he issued an order that any peison aiding an American by food or money should be treated as a criminal. One cilUen of Vigan, Senor Vera, was probably killed for befriending us. We would have starved but for the kindness of some of the residents of the towns and and some ot the Filipino colonels, but others treated us brutally. Whenever there was a prison we were kept there. Where there was no prison they would Iodize us in a convent. We suffered greatly from want of exercise as well as from lack of food." For weeks Lieutenant Gilmore was covered with boils, aud in great pain. When the Filipinos found the Americans were approaching, the treatment be came better. There was a eignpainter in the party and he painted advertise ments on the rocks, throughout the re treat with other emblems, like a skull and the word, "Vengeance," by means of which the Americans were able to follow. "The Filipino treatment of the Span ish," said Lieutenant Gilmore, "was brutal in the extreme. The Insurgents had old grudges to wipe out against them. Many talk about the reconcentrados in Cuba, but I have seen Spaniards dying at the rate of two or three per day of starvation in the hospitals at Vigan. I have seen Tagal otlicers strike Spaniards in the face with whips and revolvers." Lieutenant Gilmore declined to speak regarding political conditions, except to say that he thought the insurrection would last as long as there were any Tagalsleft. Only Venvllle Unaccounted For.

Watson." lands were granted to the railroad com pany years ago; but Its claims were con tested by the government. The main controversy was between the Oregan & California road and the Northern Pacific. The Northern Pacific Company claimed the lands under an earlier urant, hut it was shown that th's road had not filed a map ol definite lo cation, and thus failed to earn the grant, Hence the court held that, notwithstand ing the later date of the grant to the Oregon company, it was entitled to the lands. The lands involved lie south of Portland and largely in the Willamette valley. They embrace about 42,000 acres, and are saiu to be worth now $5,000,000 or $0,000,000. Like decisions were made in the cases of Wilcox vs. the Eaatern Oregon Land Company, and Messenger vs. the same company. These controversies were al so largely with the Northern Pacific Company, in coflict with military wagon roads. The decisions were also adverse to the Northern Pacific In these cases.
