in innnst rttuno In Army Circles Over Treachery at Samar. PACIFICOS RESPONSIBLE FOR MASSACRE Mott of Them Had Taken Oath of Allegiance — Plan to Attack Garrison Has Been Unearthed—Officers Alert. Manila, Oct. 8.—Major Morris C. Foote, of the Ninth United States In fantry, who has returned here from the Island of Samar, was in Balangiga the day before the disaster to Company C. He says that Capt. Connell had been fully warned and had taken what he (Major Foote) considerd every necessary precaution. Information that a plot was brewing among the Filipinos came to Major Foote from a priest, who said that it was in the plans of the populace at Balangiga and Basey to attack the garrisons, and that the Basey garrison was to be attacked from a cock pit in the rear of the barracks. Orders were im mediately given to demolish the cock pit, and extra guards were sta tioned. There is intense feeling throughout the army because of the massacre, which would not be the case to'any such extent had it been the work of ordinary insurgents. The latter might have been expected to commit such an outrage. Feeling is particu larly intense in military circles lo calise the authors of the massacre were pacificos,most of whom had taken the oath of allegiace, and many of whom, including the president of Balangiga, were actually holding office. Some of the after effects aie shown at many points, particularly at Ban ian and Caulocan, in the province of Batangas, and at Manila, where dis affection is manifesting itself, al though it is not likely to be allowed to go far. On the other hand the officers and troops of all the garri sons throughout the archipelago feel that the disaster conveys a lesson to themselves of the necessity for in creased vigilance. Clash Between Authorities. Much interest attaches to the case of Oakley Brooks, a military prison er ordered to be deported. The su preme court recently issued a writ of babeus corpus directing the produc tion of the prisoner, but the military authorities refused to proudce him on the ground that the only tribunal having jurisdiction*of a military pris oner is the Federal court. While the Philippine courts were established by the war powers of the president, the military authorities contend that they are to be regarded as provost courts until congress has acted. The members of the supreme court and a majority of the members of the Philippine commission hold opposite views, but it is understood "that the attorney general believes the military contention to be correct. Gen. Chaf fee, discussing the matter today, said : “I am most desirous to sustain the civil courts in every possible way, but I feel that it would be very unwise, in the existing circumstances, to allow the civil courts to interfere in mili tary affairs, as it is occasionally necessary for the military authori ties to act incases where it would be unwise in the interest of the govern ment, to make public at the time the reasons for acting. Should the claim now made by the civil courts be al lowed it would be disastrous to the influence of the army in the island. A MONTANA LYNCHING. Masked Men Took a Brute Out of Jail aad Hung Him to a Telegraph Pole. Helena, Mont., Oct. 4.—James Edward Brady, the man who com mitted an unusually brutal assault upon 5-year-old Ida Pugsley, in Hel ena, was taken from the jail and hanged to a telegraph*pole in the hay market square, about three blocks from the jail. The crowd w»s orderly and after the man had been hanged quietly dispersed. There were about 200 men engaged in the affair, and they were all masked. They at tacked the jail door with a battering ram and it soon yielded. On gaining admittance, they demanded the keyB of the jailer at the point of a gun, and threatened that if he did not yield the man up they would kill him. The jailer then got the man out of his cell and he was given to the mob. When they first took him, Brady asked: “What is it gentlemen?” The march to the hanging place was quiet. Brady was given a chance to say a word. He declared that they had the wrong in m, although he had been positively identified by his vic tim and a score of other people who had seen him with the child. He also asked that some money that was due him from the Montana Central railroad be sent to a niece, and then he was pulled up. The end of the rope was tied to the pole and the crowd dispersed. Later Sheriff Mc Connell cut the body down and placed it in a coffin. There will be an in vestigation today. MORE LAND FOR SETTLERS. Fart Hall Reservation Soon to Be Opened — Quinalt Reserve Will Be Next. Washington, Oct. 4.—The interior departmet is rapidly completing plans for the opening of Fort Hall, Idaho, Indian reservation. The date for the opening has not been fixed, as the preliminary work has not been completed, but it is expected that the reservation, which contains 400,000 acres, will be thrown open to settle ment within a few weeks. The Quin alt reservation in Washington, com prising 300.000 acres, will probably be thrown open to settlement next spring. The contract for surveying the reservation is about to be award ed. Commissioner Hermann, of the general land office, said today that it was probable the old “sooner” sys tem would be adopted at the opening of both these reservations. MORE KLONDIKE GOLD. Steamer Humboldt Brings the Second Largrit Shipment of the Seaton. Seattle, Oct. 4.—The steamer Hum bolt arrived from Skagway today with 216 passengers and about $1,000,000 in gold, half of it in care of the Alaska Express Company. It is the second largest shipment of the sea- on from the Klondike. Among the passengers were well-known Klondike claim-owners, and Lieutenants Cam- ding and Blake, of the revenue service. The Humbolt bringB the news that Sept. 25, the first day on which the press dispatches reached Skagway from the States, was regarded as an epoch in Alaskan history. All the telegraphic news was strongly feat ured. The story is also told of a fabulously rich quartz strike in the Atlin district, assaying $25,000 in gold to the ton. DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION. Causes a Loss of Nearly Half a Millloa Dol lars—Entire Business Section Threatened. NOT'A SHOT FIRED. Hostile Armies on Colombian Frontier “Shoulder Arms.” at St. Louis, Oct. 4.—Fire that broke out at 10 a. m. in the plant of the Standard Milling company, on the river front at Alton, Ill., destroyed that and several other buildings, casuing a loss of about $400,000. A high wind blew the sparks broad cast, threatening the destruction of the business section of Alton, and St. Louis was appealed to for help. A special train carried two engines from here, and they, with the local depart ment, got the fire under control at 1 o’clock. Five Bluff Line freight cars loaded with wheat, the freight house of the -Diamond Jo steamship line, and seven buildings of minor importance were also destroyed. nit hik is ora San Francisco Longshoremen and Teamsters Again at Work. RIGHTS OF UNIONISM ARE RECOGNIZED Governor Gage Acted at Intermediary In Bring ing About a Settlement—Machinists' Troubles Are Not Included. Gold Commissioner Suspended. I Aided Dutch Prisoner* of War to Escape from the British Camps. Hamilton, Bermuda, Oct. 3.—The pro-Boers in Bermuda are excelling themselves over the escape of some prisoners of war whom they made very effort to aid in their attempts ■f to regain their freedom. Last Satur day night three men—a nephew of the late Commandant Joubert, Alfred Martinas Joubert, and two brothers, ' named Indemar—made their escape from the prison at Darrell's Island à and swam over to the Princess hotel, ' where they dre»«ed themselves in clothing carried over, t’“d in bundles, on a plank. Then, making their way to a livery stable in Hamiiiuu, they hired a trap and drove to the residence of Dr. Outerbridge, at Bailey’s bay, and then retired to a place of concealment in the neighbor hood. The search continued for two *** days and nights, soldiers, sailors, mil itary and civilians taking part in it, before the men were captured. The affair has caused great excitement here, not merely because the men succeeded in making an escape, but because of the apparent exhibition of the pro-Boer spirit here. A Bureau 4 Information.
