WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.—The start
ling and horrible story of the killing
of two Washingtonians and the muti
lation of their bodies by the natives of
the Congo Free State, has Just been
reeelved here In a letter to Mr. I,eo
Harmon, of 1723 Ninth street N. W.
The men were members of a party
which, during November and Decem
ber, 1891, and January. 1895, went from
this city to enlist In the Belgian army
for service In the Congo Free State.
Those enlisted Included Kdward
Thornton, a <oinmlssloned officer In
the National Fenclbles, employed In
the war department; Lindsay (1.
Burke, Frank Batchullor, Harry It.
Andrews, Burry Spurlln and Mr. Mel
Un, who was at one time a noncom
missioned officer In the United States
army. All except Thornton und Mcllln
were members of the National guard
of the district.
The Information received by Mr.
Harmon Is that Burke und a party of
fifty natives who were sent out to
dislodge a band of dwarfs who had re
volted, were ambushed and killed. An
Arab who was with the command,
hut was some distance off at the time
of the ambuscade, stales that he
knows Burke was dead before the na
tives reached him and that the most
hideous looking man he ever saw
walked up und cut Burke's head off
with one blow of u knife. The chief
then began to slice pieces off Ills legs
and arms and distribute them among
his followers.
There were so many of the fiends
that the pieces were very small, anil
before they had eoneluded there was
a free light fo see who could get the
little remaining. In some manner the
dwarfs became alarmed and left the
place, one fellow carrying off Burke's

to get a commission something may

eration of Individual bills of no ben
efit to the country as a whole.
"Many think Alaska should have a
territorial form of government. The
objections to this are manifold, chief
among them are the sparse popula

means taxation, and the people are

which can ascertain the needs of the

lio In. When he was a member of the
senate L. A. Thurston, who was then
Hawaiian minister at Washington, re
marked anil repeated frequently that
Senator Dubois was one of the most
enthusiastic supporters of the annex
ation proposal, In a recent speech
before an audience of Hawallans at
Hilo, Hawaii, Pettigrew said:
“We come to your Island for the
purpose of ascertaining what the peo
ple who live in this country thought
about the question of annexation of
the islands, and also to see what wo
could learn about the desirability of
annexing these Islands, If we so de
sire. I have supposed that many of
your people were in favor of annex
ation. because It lias been so repre
sented, but I have talked to many
and I have failed to find a native
Hawaiian who Is not opposed to an
nexation to the United States and In
favor of your own government. I
shal tell what I hgve seen and what
I have heard in the senate when the
question conies up I should do that
even if 1 were opposed to what you
want done, but I am not opposed to
It."
Four native Hawallans will leave
for Washington tonight to work
against annexation, Robert Wilcox,
who was to lie one of the party, has
decided not to go. He says he con
siders the trip a waste of time.
