THE GILMORE PARTY.
First Authentle Acoount of Tbelr Xx-
pcrlaneaa
Manila, Dec. 2. When the landing
party of the United States battleship
Oregon, under Lieutenant-Commander
McCracknn, took the town of Vigan,
province of South Ilooos, last Sunday,
they found there an escaped prisoner,
A. L. Sonnenxhein, whq furnished the
first authentlo account of the exper
ience of Lieutenant, J. C, Gilmore, of
the United States gunboat Yorktown.
who, with a party of the Yorktown,
was captured by the insurgents near
Baler, on the east coast of Luzon, last
April, while making an examination l
the month of the river in an armed
boat.
Mr. Sonnensheln was imprisoned at
Araba for a long time with Lieutenant
Gilmore and seven sailors, but con
trived to escape, carrying a concealed
note, written in naval cipher, dated
Abra, November IS, addressed to "Any
naval officer," and saying: ,'You may
have perfect confidence in anything the
bearer says." The note was signed
Gilmore."
Sonnamheln's Story.
According to Mr. Sonnennhein, when
Lieutenant Gilmore's launch entered
the river from Baler harbor, under
cover of Ensign W. H. Stand ley's gun,
the landing was received with three
volleys. Two of the Americans wore
killed and two mortally wounded.
Every man was hit, Lieutenant Gil
more receiving a flesh wc-ind in the leg
and both his feet stuck fast in the mud.
It was a choice between surrender and
being slaughtered.
Lieutenant Gilmore asked the terms
of release. The Insurgents proposed
that the should procure the delivery to
them of the arms and munitions of the
Spanish garrisons, undertaking, if this
were accomplished, to send tne bpan
lords and Americans to the Yorktown.
A sailor of Lieutenant Gilmore's
party carried this proposition to the
garrison. ' The Spanish commandant
relpied that it was an insult to Spanish
arms, and expelled the sailor, a Span'
ish soldier firing on him as he went.
The Americans were then bound
hand and foot and taken to San Isldro,
when General Luna ordered their exe
cution. They were marched to the
plaza, and in the presence of a great
crowd were aligned to be executed.
Lieutenant Gilmore said: As an
American officer and gentleman, I pro
test against being shot with my hands
tied."
Aguinaldo Interfered and prevented
the execution.
When General Lawton approached
San Isldro lost June the Americans
were removed to Abra, where they were
kept confined In cells for two months
Subsequently they were allowed greater
liberty, bnt the report that Lieutenant
Gilmore was given a house and servant
is untrue. He bad the same quarters
as the men. and the Americans were
slven the same allowance as the Span
lnh nrisoners five cents a day with
which to buy rice and bananas, virtu
ally the only rations.

editorial on the situation in Cuba, j
y: ' ' .
'There will be neither revolt nor in
surrection. Matters are in ft grave
condition, but not alarmingly so. The
judicious behavior of all persons of in
fluence will prevent violent or sensa
tional developments. There has been
no outbreak of armed men in any part
of the island, and as a matter of fact
the people in the rural districts intend
to squelch any attempt at ft rising.
"The farmers who had to be forced
to fight Spain are now beginning to re
cover from the effects of that struggle.
They know that the Americans are de
termined to maintain the peace, and
they know also that the American au
thorities are kept fully informed of
every step taken by men who are giv
ing a percentage of their salores to buy
arms. The other imbeciles the agita
tors and office-holders, who are using
the money they receive from the
United States to further plans which
they must know are doomed to fall
are also marked men. The American
government has in Cuba an unap

Manila, Deo. 4. The steamer Sal
vador, from Zamboanga, island of
Mindanao, which has arrived here.
brings details of the occupation of the
town by Commander Very, of the Uni
ted States gunboat Castine.
The revolutionists in Mindanao were
led by Alvarez and Calixto, who left
Luzon some time ago and for the last
seven months had been stirring up the
people, winning ft considerable follow
ing. The commercial depression and
the lack of food resulting from the is
land's blockade set the people against
the revolutionists and culminated in
the assassination on November 16 of
Calixto, a firebrand and the real leader
of the revolution, by Midel, mayor of
tbo town of Tetuan.
Midel, under a pretext, secured Calix
to 's presence in Tetuan and where the
mayor station guards. The latter fired
a volley, killing (Jallxto instantly.
Midel at once repaired to the Castine
and arranged with Commandor Very
for the occupation of Zamboanga.
Commander Very asked that Dato
Mandi, with 500 of his followers, ta
tioaed on ft neighboring island, come
to Zamboanga.
The following morning Midel raised
the American flag over Zamboanga, the
Insurgents offering uo resistance and
evacuating the town. The Castine
was saluted with 31 guns, and Com
monder Very landed 100 bluejacket
and took possession of the town and
fortifications. Datto Mandi's men ar'
rived in the afternoon. They were
armed with wooden shields and swords,
and were used on picket duty.
Commander Very dispatched the
gunboat Manila on November 16 to Jolo
to convey troops to reinforce him.
company of the Twenty-third regiment.
under Captain Nichols, arrived on No
vember 17, and two more companies
followed them shortly. Mandi's fol
lowers then returned home and Alvarez
sought to arrange for ft surrender of the
arms and the artillery pieces.
On the afternoon of November 20,
Midel called meeting of the local
chiefs, who formally deposed Alvarez
as leader of the revolutionists in the is
land and elected Midel president of the
new Insular government established
under American sovereignity and con
trol. The chiefs formally requested
Commander Very to grant exemption
from taxes until the re-establishment
of commercial relations, permission
carry arms in the mountains, religious
freedom and the power to conduct local
government as they had previous!
done, which requests, pending the ar
rival of itrigadier-General Bates, the
military governor of tho district, the
commander gran tod.
Commander ery then effected an
apparent reconciliation between Al
varus and Midel and their followers.
Alvarez signing a formal resignation ot
the position of revolutionary leader on
November 23, at a point on the coast
near the rebel town of Mercels. Al
vares delivered 14 Nordcnfoldts and
Maxims, with ammunition, which
were stored on board the Castine,
Eight rtordeufeldts and Maxims were
delivered to the army at Zamboanga,
as were also 200 rifles and ammuui
tlon. The artillery came into posses'
sion of the revolutionists from six
Spanish gunboats bought by the army
from Spain, which tho revolu
tionlsts looted before the Americans
could get possession.
Alvarez and only ft dozen followers
left, the remainder of -the revolution
ists having scattered and returned to
their occupations. , Commander Very,
having started to occupy Zamboanga, it
considered to have handled the situa
tion in its many phases with energy
and diplomatio skill.

ter and, while there is no feeling of
despondency as to eventual results of
the war, it is regretfully admitted on
all sides that the strength of the Boer
resistance has been woefully under
rated. It is now seen that the attempt to
hold a useless position at Mafeking
was a serious tactical mistake, as was
also the endeavor to keep the large
civil population in Kimberley.
Perhaps the brightest spot for i.njr-
lish readers today is the announcement
that President McKinley has designated .
the son of Secretary Hay to succeed
Mr. Macrum in Pretoria. The Daily
Telegraph says:
This appointment is ft graceful
concession on the part of the United

South African news is now six days
in arrears. The censorship does not
yet permit details of the Modder river
battle to be transmitted. Some vague
statements have been published in Cape
Town papers, and according to these
Boers numbered 8,000 men, and wire
entrenched on both banks of the
stream, although mostly on the north
ern bank. The British, according to
these accounts, drove the enemy across
the river, compelled them to retreat
and established themselves on both
banks. These details, however, are
too meager to enable an accurate idea
of the engagement to be formed.
A dispatch has reached London an
nouncing that Lord Methuen is again
in the field, and it is also said that
Count Greichen, who was wounded in
the fighting at Modder river, was
struck in the neck by ft bullet.
Serious news comes from the north

tions, Conon consented to capitulate to

May Help Conaumptlrea.
Chicago, Deo. 8. A new serum.
which it is claimed will show the pres
ence of tuberculosis long before it would
be possible to detect it by the micro
scope, the A -ray or outer metnoos now
in use, has been invented by Dr. A. J.
Jenkins, of this city. He does not
claim to have discovered a new cure,
but that the use of the serum aids com
petent physicians to detect the presence
of the disease in its earliest stages, and
in time to effect a cure by good sanc
tion and plenty of outdoor exercise. It
makes it possible to discover whether
or not a case is true consumption, no
matter how early or light the attack.
