Feb. 18 (Delayed) (JP) The wanton slaying of at least 60 priests and women and children refugees in De La Salic college in Manilas Malate dis trict by Japanese soldiers was revealed today with recovery ol the mutilated remains, Of 70 persons caught in the college only eight survived, said one of them, the Rev. Francis J. Cosgrave, 47, a redemptorist father of Sydney, Australia. Father Cosgrave, recovering from two bayonet wounds in Santo Tomas hospital, filled in details of the terrible afternoon last Monday. Shot Brothers One Japanese officer and 20 enlisted men shot and bayoneted the American Filipino, German, Irish and Spanish religious brothers and Filipino refugees. The bodies, serving as mute and ghastly evidence, were dis covered today when the United States 148th infantry regiment captured the college area. Father Cosgrave said the Jap anese garrison had remained in one wing of the college, while permitting the priests and refu gees to occupy another. Storm Into Room Monday, another tense day on the fringe of the battle area, the Japanese stormed into the priests' room, Father Cosgrave reported. He said the religious group and refugees were just finishing a simple lunch. The officer screamed some thing, then fired point blank with a pistol. Then the Japanese soldiers charged into the sob bing, terrified throne of victims. firing guns and slashing right and left with their bayonets. Today the bodies lay as they fell in the blood-smeared inter ior of what once was a modern college near the Rizal stadium. They were lying in grotesque helplessness, these slashed and smashed bodies. Some, caught in the first volley, tumbled in the dining room. Others evidently raced out into the first floor hallway. They were, cut down after running a few steps. Woman Killed Still others reached the stair way and started upward toward the chapel. Many failed to reach it and were slaughtered on the stairs or collapsed into a pile at the bottom. One Filipino wom an lay on the stairs, her head on her outstretched hand. But others reached the chapel before the Japanese killed them, at the doorway and even before the altar. Their blood was thick on the "That Dependable Colum bian Service" is more than a slogan, for it is backed by the experience and skill 1 of specialists like Dr. Hay lor, who has served . the people of the Pacific Coast as an optometrist for 30 years.

Over all hung the sickening stench of death, for they nad lain that way for a week. Cosgrave Escapes Cosgrave escaped in a dramat ic way. After the first attack he found himself under two or three others. Ho remained there until 10 o'clock that night. Then, when all was quiet, lie crawled painfully up the stnii-s into the chapel where he hid beneath the altar. Cosgrave had been bayoneted twice in the chest. He remained beneath the chapel for a week, living on water drained from flower vases and wafers used for holy communion. He frequently crawled from his hiding place to administer extreme unction to those who were dying from wounds. 8 or 10 Survive "I believe only eight or ten survived of the 70 in the col lege," said the Australian priest who was superior to his order in Manila. He was permitted to re main out of internment to look after his church property. Nearly half of the victims were women and children, many of them babies who died -while reaching toward the protection of their parents' hands. Some had been bayoneted re peatedly. All Frocked All of the men wore frocks. One frocked Filipino was bay oneted in the entranccway of the chapel while his hands were bound behind him. Ten of the victims were be lieved to be American priests. The others included 14 German, two Irish brothers of the De La Salle order, a Spanish family. prominent Filipino judge and two doctors. Cosgrave said Brother Xavier. head of the local college, had been taken by the Japanese two days before the massacre in which the first to die was Broth er Leo, believed to be a former teacher at Do La Salle academy in New York. As the final touch of irony, the priest said one of the Fili pino doctors had treated a hip wound of a Japanese officer only a few hours before the massacre. Classified Ads Bring Results.
