CRUELTY OF INSURGENTS. [

No Mercy Shown Spanish Officers in the Philippines.

Mayita, Dec 22.—The claims so stren- uously made by the natives that they are a highly civilized race is not borne out by facts, according to Spanish refugees from the north who have just reached here. They say that afyer the surrender of the town ot Aparri, the insurgents formed a parade, the central feature of which was a Spanish lieutenant who was carried along the streets suspended from a bam- boo pole, to which his hands and feet were tied just as hogs are carried along here by cvolies. On arrival at the Plaza the procession halted, the pole was placed upon two forked sticks and a equad-= of rebels proceeded to terrorize their helpless victim by shooting as close to b 8 head as possible without wounding him. When the un- fortunate man was uncop*cious from ter- ror, the procession moved on again. Another story 1s told of a Spanish officer being confined in acell w ta his hacde tied behind his back and compe!led to eat the portions of food allottedto him from the floor of his ceti like a dog. Not satisfied with this hise captor is said to have hook- a rope to his ewollen wristsand through a pully overhead, hauled him off bis feet until he fainted. Stili another refugee states that because he threw some papers which he did not wish the rebels to bave, into his ceespool, the natives dropped him into the hole and compelled him to recover the papers, after whicn he was paraded throngh the streets for boursa, The Spanish priests who were captured fared soraewhat better, according to reporte, for the rebels organized them into ap eXtem- pore bras; band to head their procession and by dint of kicks and blows compelled their captives to prodace plaints of discord

which higbly amused the natives. The natives indignantly deny there allegations aud their newspapers

re‘aliate by printing. stories of atrocities | practised by the Spaniards before thé sur render of Manilla, one of them even pub- lishing the affidavits of victims. The present unpleasant weather is having its effect on the health of the American troops, hundreds of whom are suffering from cramps and chills occasioned by the dampness of their quarters and exposure.

It was curren'ly rumoured that at least twenty per cent of the American army of oc-

cupation is on the sick list, which would indicate an epidemic, but an enquiry at the brigade hospital proves this to be an ex- agyeration, for the total number of pa- tients there was 750, of whom only 18 were smallpox and about 200 fever pa- tients. Au order has been issued compel- ling medical practitioners to report all

authorities in order that they may be promptly removed to the pest houses.
