Like any other men possessing a grain of commonsenso or of loyalty to their people, whether they be guarillos or patriots (very likely they were of the band that killed the ser. geant), they refused to give any information to their capturers. This apparently ouraged the officers, who permitted, if not ordered, the natives to be hung up by their necks, Captain Brandle is charged with torturing two natives who were prizoners under his custody and entitled to his protection, and of unlawfully, wilfully and cruelly, commanding, divesting and causing the said two natives to be hung by the neck with a rope for a period of about ten seconds, more or less, thus inflicting upon the said natives wounds causing great bodily pain. This was done in the presence of enlisted zaen and natives.
A short discussion thon ansued with the view to clacitating certain points raised.
The Hon. R. D. ORMSBY said that all is Excellency the General bad said met with his strongest support. When he put bia namo down on the list las considered he was lotting himself in for at least 20 drills a year. He thought that when men were treated with rifles and woco uniforms it was very litle indeed to call upon them to do as much as the General and suggested they should do that was to be enrolled as Volunteers and to appear at inspections. The General bad said nothing about drill, though he for one would be glad to attend a certain number of drills, because he did not see how they could appear at inspections without. They would present

The CHAIRMAN then proposod"That the wombers who have joined the Heme Guard accept General Gascoigne's proposal that we enrol our selves as a reserve company of the Volunteers." Mr. MOXON seconded and the proposition was ca ed with fire or six dissentients.
The CHAIRMAN said that of course those gentlemen who did not agree with the proposal would have the opportunity of withdrawing their names.

MANILA.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT,
Manila, 14th August. AMERICAN OFFICERS HANCTION THE TORTURE
OF PILIPINOS-GUME INSTANCES. From time to time rumours and storing of
the tortura of native prisoners by American officers has leaked out and started the rounds of officialdom, but usually the matter is quickly bashed up and inquiries result in denints or laughing remarks of a wan's ability to enjoy pipe-dreams. Occasionally one runs
across an enlisted man who happened to has been present when u torture was inflicted, and who is quito willing to talk about it, or perhaps an indiscreet officer, in an unguarded moment, lets fall a few words of the operation and boasts of bow he brought the hombre to time.
It is a well known fact that the Macabebe seonts, and other native troops employed in the American service, stop at little or nothing when they desire to extract information or accumulate a little loot. These men are officered by Americans, who should be responsible for the conduct of their men, but in more esses than one would believe the outrages are overlooked or the mon are allowed such opportunities that they can passes their own sweet will in the matter of prisoners. With the Macabebes, the most popular method of forcing unwilling prisoners to give information or part with some of their money is the water cure."
TORTURE BY WATER,
This is usually applied by tying the unfor tuoste rative down and strapping o gan or stick aeroes his month in such a way that it is impus. sible to chore it. Then water is steadily poured
Lieutenaut Alvin Perkins is charged with the samo offences against six other natives at the same time on the same day. To the charges and allspecificatious both officers pleaded a sweep- ing "Not guilty" A general courtmartial, presil el over by the colonet of the regiment, to which these officers belong, found Captain Brandle and Lintoneat, Perkins, guilty. with certain exceptions and deliberately sentenced the officers-to what to be reprimanded by the reviewing authority.
GENERAL MCARTHUR'S SEVERE CRITICISM.
The reviewing authority is General MeAr firur, and what he thinks of the proceeding is this. In the foregoing cases of Captain George W. Braille and second Lieutenant Alvin 6. Parkine, 27th Infantry U.S. Volunteers, the findings and sentences are approved with the remark that the reviewing authority is of the opinion that in the case of the former a fading of guilty, on cach of the specifications laid without the exceptions and substitutions made by the court. would have been in full accord with the ragord," ete. Continuing he says, "It is obvious that a cruel and illegal assault
a perpetrated by the accused officers upon criminal in itsolf under the Laws of War, but in reasote consequences well calculated to defent a carefully considered policy, and to inflict par maneat injury upon the essential interests of
carlain native prisoners, an assault not only
the nation. The purpose of the United States in these islands is to introduce and plant re- publican institutions, based upon the beneficent principles of the Constitution. Success in the
great and inspiring undertaking depends largely
upon securing through a sense of self interest and gratitude the confidence and attachment of the Filipino people.”
It is believed that the sentence of the court will be sufficiently executed by reminding Cap. tain Brandle and Lieutenant Perkins that by reckless defiance of the ethics of their profession they have inflict. incalculable injury upon the interests of their country, und have also cast an unwarranted aspersion upon the reputation of the United States army for sentiments of honour and humanity." The officers have been releuzed from arrest and returned to duty. The affair
