DARK DEEDS

Another instance of the predominant feeling against Spanish authority has occurred in Imus. The Mayor of the town seeing a deserter from the Army in the cockpit, informed the Civil Guard thereof, who tried to arrest the man. He gave them the slip, but the same night two men called the Mayor out of his house under some pretext and killed him, placing a card round his neck saying that he was killed for being a traitor to his countrymen Another individual, a prominent inbabitant of San Antonio, Nueva Excija province, has also been sequestrated for giving information to the Spaniards. Such nets as these, hitherto abstained from by the rebels, clearly show that the latter intend retaliating for the atrocities committed by the Spaniards, and have given the present rebellion quite a different phuse.—Free ress.
