Atrocities Committed on Sus pectejcj Natives. a* GEN. MAC ARTHUR'S COMMENT The War Department has received copies of recent general orders of the division of the Philippines. As usual, these orders contain numerous cases of court-martials of natives tried on Charges of murder, rob bery, kidnaping and other crimes. Convic tions have followed in nearly every case, and sentences of death were Imposed in most of them. In several cases the com manding general commuted the sentences to long terms of imprisonment. There are two cases of treachery and violation of the rules of war. One Is that of Plasido Cuch apln, who was installed as presidente of the pueblo of Moncada, Carlac, and while in that office aided and abetted the insur gents. He was sentenced to fifteen years' Imprisonment. Nicholas Valenton, who was vice presidente and lieutenant of po lice at the same place, was also found guilty on a similar charge and sentenced to ten years. it appears from evidence brought out in different trials that there are secret societies among the natives, wno are pledged to risk their lives in resisting the authority of the United States. A number of these men were convicted of crimes against natives, some of which wore particularly atrocious, women and chil dren being the victims. Gen. MacArthur'a Comment. In reviewing one of these eases Gen. MacArthur says: "In the foregoing case of Juan Aganon, Coseme Salmos, Antonio Taguinaldo, Juan Pagaragan, Cecilio Manavis and Fausto Manavis, it appears that these accused prompted by the secret accusations of the Katipunans to the effect that their victim was an American sjiy, lured Esteban Ver sosa, chief of police of the pueblo of Pura, province of Tarlac, to the outskirts of the town on the pretext of necessity for visit ing his guard and there boloed him to death. The actual participation in this crime by all of these accused is fully es tablished by direct evidence, and they of fer no evidence, explanation or statement to meet the proof. "So long as secret societies exist, whose purpose It is to evade the laws, and men are found willing to execute their secret orders of assassination, so long must the laws, both of peace and of war, be invoked to suppress them. Working in secret and taking vengeance, now upon the good and now upon the bad?as suits their criminal inclinations?the members of these societies become enemies of $1 men?of friend and foe alike?and so. long as they flourish the common interests ana happiness of the in habitants of the country they invest must languish. "The sentence, approved by the depart ment commander, is confirmed and as against Juan Aganon and Fausto Manavis will be duly executed at the pueblo of Ge rona, province of Tarlao, Luzon. P. I., on tne (twelfth) 12th d*y of July, A. D. 1901, under the direction of the commanding general, Department of Northern Luzon. As against these accused: Cosme Salmos Antonio Taguinaldo, Juan. Pagaragan and Cecilio Manavis. their sentences, and that of each of them 1s Commuted to imprison ment at hard labor for the period of their natural lives, and as thus commuted will be duly executed at the Presidio do Manila, to which place they, and each of them, will be sent under proper guard." Haiiging 'Women tad Children. In another case. It appears that the ac cused, Isidro Velasco, native, was the leader of a band of outlaws, and ordered and caused to be consummated the killing by hanging of Manuel Tandoc, Blviana Mandap, his wife, and Bentgno Tandoc and Valentin Tandoc, their children, on the ac cusation that they "told too many tales. On another occasion this accused and his band kidnaped and kept prisoner one Vi cente Mamerto, at or near Aguilar, Fan gaslnan, and It Is shown that they robbed another native of some twelve head of cat tle. "The cruel and Inhuman hanging of a wo man and her children," says General Mac Arthur, "Is not susceptible of justification to any degree, and the statements of ac cused that he ordered the consummation of this heinous crime In pursuance to an order of a superior of one grade above him can have no weight as affecting his criminality. "Although deemed inadequate, the sen tence (twenty-five years' Imprisonment) is confirmed and will be duly executed at the Presidio de Manila, to which place the prisoner will be sent under proper guard." In another case it appears that the ac cused, Teribio Ramlrrez, native, was one of a band of armed outlaws which entered the house of one Antonio Echevarria, at Naro, Masbate, on August 14, 1900, robbed It of valuables, conveyed eleven occupants to the beach and there murdered them with sabers, bolos and clubs and then tied up the dead bodies in sacks and threw them into the sea. It appears that this accused, personally, killed one of the victims and gave orders that the bodies should be dis posed of in the above mariner. The only motive shown of record is that of robbery. The accused admitted before the commis sion that he was present with the band. The sentence of death was approved by the department commander, and will be executed at the pueblo of Masbate, P. I., on the 2d day of August, A.D. Tortured to Death. In reviewing another case General Mac Arthur says: In the foregoing case It appears that these accused, Jose Avila and Paulino Casio, natives, in company of a band of outlaws, entered the houses of one Juan Legaspl, at the pueblo of Irlga, In the night time, actuated by no higher motive than robbery and degenerate cruelty and inhumanity, boloed to death five natives, Including a child three years of age and a young girl eleven; cut, wounded and tor tured three women, one small .girl and one man. with the Intent to kill them. "No denial, explanation or statement is made by these accused to meet the posi tive and direct evidence of their surviving victims and no evidence submitted by the defense negative* their guilt. "The sentence* approved by the depart ment commander, is confirmed and will be duly executed at the pueblo of Nueva Ca ceres, province 'of Qamarlnes Sur, Luzon, P. I., on the 26th day of July, A. D. 1901. Plea to.tjfc Accused. Gen. MacArthur ielis the story of another harrowing case,?** follows: "In the foregoing-<case it appear* that the accused, FflBroi Abad Santos, native, was the adjutant, secretary and adviser of General- Hison, Jh* Insurgent political mil itary governor^ oirPampanga, province, having 'command df everything* therein, and that the mHltary authority of accused arose from this connection. It appear* that this accused m present at the barrio of San Rafael $urlijg the month of May, 1900, together Wth two insurgent officers of the line, Llent. Euseblo Rojas and Capt. Isabello del Rosario^the last being in com mand of the detachment of Insurgent troops there stationed; that a native, Leon clo Torres, was brought a prisoner before these three officers, charged with being an American spy, and by them condemned to death by burying alive. The victim, with arms bound^hehlnd him, begged of this ac cused for mercy and was answered by * blow, which knocked him down, and an order to the soldiers to take him out and bury him, which was done. "On the other charge It appear* that this accused threatened with death one Floren tine Pamintuan, presidente of Angele*, who had been kidnaped by order of Gen. Hison and held to ransom in the sum of 9,000 pe sos. in the event of this ran*om not being paid, and not until the full sum was paid did the priwoher arihi his liberty. "While making no denial fhat both these 1 primes were com netted, the accused seeks fo avoid criminal responsibility on the st*tement that De} Rosarfo was the officer in command and the responsible criminal ? *v?

"Ignoring all of the strong evidence showing the actual participation In the pei> petratlon of these crimes by accused, It ?till cannot be doubted that had he so will ed bis protest against the murder of Torres would have been effective. His close rela tions with the commanding general and power to bring the perpetrators of the crime to answer to their chief for such vio lation of the laws of war and humanity strongly support this view. It is not con tended that he did not give criminal ac quiescence to this most cruel deed, and by this alone he assumed full criminal respon sibility. Upon the most favorable view to the accused, he was an accomplice by acts of omission. If not commission, and in view of the possibility of his negative rather than positive criminality, some leniency will be shown him. "The sentence of death approved by the department commander is confirmed, but is commuted to confinement at hard labor for the period of twenty-five (25) years. As thus commuted the sentence will be duly executed at the Presidio de Manila, to which place the prisoner, Pedro Abad San tos. will be sent under proper guard." VEtlBB REACHES COLOMBIA. Insurgent Leader laid to Have Joined Forces In the Field. A dispatch from New Tork last night says; Dr. A. J. Restrepo, agent here of the Colombian insurgents, and Raoul Pe res, who was Gen. Uribe Uribe's private secretary, declare that the general is now In Colombia. They refused to tell just where he Is, but said that they expected cable advices from him tomorrow. He will have the assistance, they say, of Gens. Herrera and Marin and their armies. The latter has 3,000 men in the Interior of the department of Tollma. Senor Peres explained that in Colombia there has always been a certain degree of antagonism between the Freemasons and the clergy, and that this fact was taken advantage of by the Insurgent party. Sympathisers all over the world, he aver red, contributed $200,006 for munitions for Gen. Uribe Uribe's operations. Dr. Res trepo, Senor Peres further explained, while he was In Europe, bought 16,000 Mauser rifles of the most modern pattern. The doctor also bought 2,000,000 cartridges in Belgium with the funds, Uribe Uribe being In considerable need of ammunition. All this armament, Senor Peres says, was shipped months ago to Colombia in sailing vessels, labeled as potatoes and asparagus. Still further, according to Peres, If the liberal party, of which Gen. Uribe Uribe is the head, succeeds in overthrowing the conservative party's government, the French Panama Canal Company will be. notified that all . of its concessions are void, that company having been notified HOEKE'S. for Collide Clearance Scarcely an Item of present atock la exempted?which means moat extraordinary oppor tunities for housekeepers to replenish the home's present and future needs.
