The War de partment has received from' tho Philippines the records of court-ma rtlah by which throo natives were tried for Implication In tho murder of five American soldier prison ers. Ono of the Filipinos was Tlmoteo IJhulan, a commandante of the Insurgent forces, who ordered Mnnuel Oonzales, a lieu tenant of insurgents, Jo kill tho prcsldento of the puobla of San Miguel do Mayumo, province of Dulacnn. Ooozales, In command of A band .of Insur gents, successfully ambushed a detachment of tho Thlrty-llfth Volunteer Infantry, tak ing five of the American soldiers prisoners.

In passing upon the findings In the casa of tho Insurgent commandante General Chaf fee said: "His open appeal (o tho base Instincts of his soldiers by promising reward for the execution of his Inhuman command aggra vates his offense and makes the accused as ono so lost to tho better Instincts of tils rnco as to preclude, nn appeal to clemency."

In tho opinion of a majority of tho gen eral managers tho general congestion is duo In a measure to deficiency of tho service tendered by employes and this view led Into a discussion of tho labor situation from a railroad standpoint, and It wns gen erally agreed that a rnloo In tho wages of employes would do much toward stimulat ing them to better work, which In turn would hslp relievo congested conditions as well aa to, prevent them.

Tho general manngors of Chicago are of tho opinion that now is tho tlmo to mako a concerted action to even up wages nil over tho country and an effort will bo made, It Is said, to Indued tho managements of tho enotcrn lines to grunt such Increases in wages as will bring them o'u n parity with tho' wuges paid in tho west. Should this be brought about several lumdVefl thousand men will bo grnntcd Increased and tho pny rolls of tho eastern roads, taken as a whole, will bo Increased several million dollars.
