States-Chilean Commission
Dismissed Itata Case.
WASHINGTON, June 17. The United
.States and Chilean Claims Commission
completed Its work today. The last case
to be decided was that involving the
seizure In 1891 of the Chilean vessel Itata
by the authorities of the United States
on the ground that she was carrying a
cargo of contraband arms to Chile. The
claim was for 44,061, with interest, and
was made by the South American Steam
ship Company, which had chartered the
ship to the Chilean Government. The de
cision today dismisses the case. Minister
Pioda, of Switzerland, president of the
commission, and Mr. Gage, the American
commissioner, agreed In this, while Mr.
Vicuna, of Chile, dissented. The com
mission sums up its findings as follows:
First That the damages alleged by the
plaintiffs were not occasioned by any un
justifiable action on the part of the United
States; that the Itata was pursued by
the naval authorities of the United States
upon the high seas Into Chilean waters;
induced to surrender by display of su
perior force, and brought back under
duress.
Second That the Itata was voluntarily
placed at the disposal of the United States
by the Provisional Government of Chile.
Third That there was probable cause
for the detention of the Itata at San
Folgo by the authorities of the United
States, and therefore no wrong was done.
Fourth That the claimant has brought
suit In the courts of Chile against the
Government of Chile to recover damages
upon the identical claim that Is here set
up against the United States; that the
company has recovered judgment thereon,
and these judgments have been paid to
the company by the Government of Chile.
The case must therefore be dismissed.
Another Important case decided today
was that of the Central and South Amer
ican Telegraph Company against Chile,
growing out of a tax of 2 cents a message
levied during the uprising of 1891. Ine
commission awarded 54000 damages.
During the sessions of the commission
there have been 17 cases against Chile,
and two against the United States. The
total of American claims against Chile
was 53,400,000, and of this. 52S.062, or .0S4
per cent has been awarded by the com
mission. The two Chilean claims against
this Government were the Itata case, dis
posed of today, and that of Richard Trum
bull, who was awarded 53000 fdr services
to the United States Legation in Chile m
an extradition case some years ago.

church who Invariably did right for
right's sake. I was with him In Lake
Wood In the early Spring of 1891, when he
wrote that now famous letter protesting
against the silver heresy. I told him that
his action put his renominatlon In jeop
ardy. " I know is,' he said, 'but I do it be
cause It's right,
"I had the privilege of being with him
in Washington before his second Inaugu
ration, and he did me the honor of read
ing his inaugural address to me. When
he had finished he walked up and down
the floor a few times, and then, with his
voice trembling with emotion, said: 'Doc
tor, I start upon ,the term determined
to do right, no matter what the cost. Here
I am with a hungry party behind me,
and such pressure is brought to bear that
sometimes it seems as if human nature
were unable to withstand, but right 1
shall do every time, as I see, before
God!' "

PUNISHMENT FOR FILIPINOS.,
Number of Murderers Sentenced to
Death by Military CommIsious.
WASHINGTON. June 17. The Philip
pine mall brings to the War Department
the records in cases wherein Filipinos
were tried by military commissions on
charges including murder, criminal as
sault, kidnaping, assault and battery,
burglary and violation of the rules of
war. An especially notable case arises
out of the operations of a famous oath
bound band of Filipinos called the Society
of the Sandathans. The principal of
cers of Yhis society, next to a triumvirate
of chiefs, are a chief executioner and as
sistants, and a requisite number of grave
diggers, who participate in the self-appointed
work of the band. The leaders
select their victim, capture and carry
him away in the night to a secret rendez
vous on a sand beach covered with very
tall grass, where the diggors have already
prepared the grave. Here, In the presence
of the assembled band, helpless men and
women from time to time have been stab
bed to death and tossed into the graves.
The members of. the band then disperse
and trust to the rise and fall of nearby
waters to hide the evidence of their
ghastly work. Ten members of the band,
including two chiefs, were tried before
a military commission, and eight of them
sentenced to be hanged. In approving the
sentences General MacArthur says:
"To the reviewing authority it is evi
dent that there can be no hope for peace
for the Filipino, no security for his life i
and property, until he shall learn to unite
against all bands of murderers and as
sassins, under whatever name they shall
assume, and come to the assistance of
the officers of law In their determination
to bring them all to justice."
In another case an armed band of
about 25 Filipinos carried away nine of thn
Inhabitants of the barrio of Casantulai
ran, and by reepated blows from the
butts of their rifles drove them to th
presidencla of Cabaruan. Here all hand.-?
drank freely of vino and the prisoners
were - made crunk. Then, according to
the testimony of two prisoners who es
caped, the others were led off In the di
rection of a grove of trees, where two
days later their beheaded bodies were dis
covered. Members of the band who were
captured received sentences of death in
some cases and Imprisonment at hard
labor for varying terms In others.
Four native policemen who had been
sent to deliver wood for a detachment
of American troops were set upon. One
of the number was killed and another
lost his arm. A member of the band
which attacked them was sentenced to
20 years' imprisonment.
A native named Miranda was tried on
four charges. A band under his leader
ship ambushed, robbed and killed two
native brothers. Later the accused led
his band against the country house of a
native, set it afire, looted its contcnta
and carried off into the fields three
daughters of the owner, robbing them of
their jewelry. Three days later his band
attacked the town residence of the same
native and thoroughly ransacked it. His
last crlmu was the murder of a native
named Abellno, who frequented a gambling-house
kept by his inamoritn, for
the sole reason that Abellno had not paid
a gambling debt. Miranda was sentenced
to be hanged.
Three natives were tried, charged with
the murder of Private Henry F. Shafer,
Company L, Seventeenth Infantry,. They
were sentenced to be hanged, but this
sentence was commuted by General Mac
Arthur, In the case of two of them to Im
prisonment for life, and in the case of
the other to imprisonment for 20 years.
Jose Ballgod, the president-elect of. the
Pueblo of Tuao, under the system estab
lished by the American Government, while
exercising the functions of his office, be
cajne cognizant of the organization of a
band In a neighboring barrio for the -purpose
of attacking a garrison of 19 Amer
can spldiers stationed at Tuao. He traitor
ously co-operated with the leader of the
band, advised him as to the most auspi
cious time to make the attack, inter
cepted a messenger sent to warn the
Americans, and otherwise treacherously
abused the trust. of his.. office. He was
senter.ced to be confined at hard labor
for 20 years. -'
Severlno de Cula. vice-president of Ba-
"car; while returning in a caramata (na
tive vehicle), from San Nicholas, cavue
Y Province, was set upon by a native band.

jewelry and other valuables, forced the
inmates to come out of the house, bound
and maltreated the men and "brutally as
saulted the women. Two of them were

WASHINGTON, June 17. An increase of
21 per cent in Imports and 48 per cent In
exports in Philippine commerce Is shown
In a comDaratlve statement made public
today by the division of Insular affairs'
of the War Department, setting forth the
trade returns for the first 10 months of
1900, as compared with the same period
of the preceding year. The total value

a falling off of $975,627. The major share
of the exports were taken by European

CLEARING-HOUSE FOR MANILA.
Government May Establish It for
Convenience of Soldiers.
WASHINGTON, June 17. The War De
partment is endeavoring to reach an ar
rangement ith the Treasury Department
which will remove, as far as possible, the
difficulties now encountered by Army of
ficers and civilian employes in the Philip
pines in obtaining money on United States
drafts and checks. General Bates, of the
pay corps, after consulting the Secretary
of the Treasury, will go to New York to
see Assistant Secretary Jordan about the
matter. Under present conditions, the
checks drawn by Army officers or civil
ian officers In the Philippines are not
cashed in New York unless the last ln
dorser is known at the sub-Treasury. If
the checks are sent through the clearing
house they are paid. It Is proposed to or
ganize a sort of clearing-house in Manila,
by which all checks and drafts may bo
indorsed, by the civil Treasurer of Ma
nila and his signature considered valid
in Nev York, ixi preiint, the Cnief Pay
master in Manila keeps on hand from
Sl.OOO.OCO to .51,500,000 in currency with a
Suard of soldiers. This money is stacked
in a small room, and the Paymaster Is
personally responsible for it. Commissary
officers and Quartermasters experience
the- same difficulty as paymasters, and,
while they do not keep as much cash
on hand as the pay department, It Is
niore currency than the officers care to be
responsible for.
An official of the War Department, who
has given ihe question a great deal of
study, will be asked to establish a sub
Treasury at Manila, and to open a mint
for coining Philippine 3llver.

Llpton on Proposed Ocean Races.
LONDON, June 17. Sir Thomas Llpton
said to a representative of the Associated
Press:
"I never contemplated an ocean race,
except under yawl rig. I do not think
it would be dangerous then. Indeed, it
might be a good idea if the owner of
each boat sailed on her. For my part,
I am willing to do so. So far as the
masts go. I would leave that entirely to
her designers. If the idea is acceptable
to the owners of the Constitution, Inde
pendence and Columbia, I will enter the
two Shamrocks. I think the race should
bo divided Into two legs the first to the
Azores, the second to Falmouth. I hope
I something may come out of the sugges
tion, for I believe it would be one of the
best sporting events In recent years."
Work on the new rigging of Shamrock
II Is progressing satisfactorily. Several
Improvements have been effected. The
first trial spins will occur on the Clyde
next week, and Sir Thomas expects to
sail from this country about July 20. He
will go to Glasgow tomorrow and remain
there until he sees the effect of the re
cent work on the challenger.

Completely Cured of Catarrh by Pe-
runa General Health Also
Improved
(Miss Ida Murray writes from 2537 Polk
street Minneapolis, Minn., as follows:
"I had chronic catarrh of tho head,
which made the slightest cold so much
worse. I am completely cured of my ca
tarrh after four months' faithful use of
Peruna, and my general health Is great
ly improved. I always speak a good word
for Peruna." Ida Murray.
Miss Anna Bryan, a favorite cousin
of William Jennings Bryan, writes
from 1450 Florida avenue, Washing
ton, D. C.t
"At the solicitation of a friend I
began some weeks go to take your
Peruna, and. I now feel like a nevr
person. I take pleasure In recom
mending It to all who want a good
tonic, and a permanent cure for ca
tarrh." Anna Bryan.
Catarrh Generally Thought to Be a Dis
ease of the Head Only.
Wherever there is a mucous membrane
there catarrh may exist.
The only reason that catarrh is more
frequent in the passages of tho nose and
throat Is because these passages are more
exposed to cold than the other portions of
tho mucous membrane. But one Is liable
to have catarrh of the lungs, or kidneys,
or stomach, or liver, or bowels, and espe
cially the bladder and other pelvic or
gans. Peruna Is a specific in cases of female
weakness or pelvic catarrh, and Is heart
ily Indorsed by all the women.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
nese war, the mill has been operated at a
loss. The Kearney mill was a direct ship
per of special grades of cotton goods to
China, and this market has been entirely
closed. The high price of cotton has also
worked against the plant.
