Oct. 15.?The tria of Honry K. Youtsey, charged with being a principal in the killing of Gov. Goebel, waa re euDie'l today although Youtsey was reported in the same ccntii tion as last week. His room door wan opened and his bed pulled up in plain view and hearing oi the jury and while the witnesset were being examined Youtsey could bo heard calling his wife'f name in a hollow, moaning voice and could be seen to be sitting on hir. bed.

He told of going tc the jail the day Youtsey was arrested and then said : I put my left hand on Mr, Youtuey'a right shoulder and said : "Mr. Youtsey, Col. Campbell has just returned aud told me what you have said to him and I have come over to have you toll me what you have told him, to tell me whether it is true, and to ask you a few other questions." Mr. Youtaey said: "Yes, Mr. Goebel, what I hare told Col. Campbell is true," I then said to Youtsey: "Mow I would like to havo you tell me about getting tho key on Monday morn'ng from Towers and about J Dick Combs and about going to see Tnylor and also about going | to see Taylor on Tuesday momling and where you got the cartridges." Youtsey said: "Just as 1 told Col. Campbell, I had a jtalk with Dick Combs on Monday morning and he told me thai he was ready to do the shooting and 1 went to Caleb Towers foi the k y to his office and ho told | me to go to John Towers. I went to .John rowers and .John l ower* gave me 'lie key. 1 went to Gov Tay'or and told him that Dirk [Combs was ready to do the shoot ing. Governor l'nylor said : "You ought not to come to me ahoul this I have been expecting tint to be done for some time, but 1 object to having a negro do it. II iR too important a piece of work Combs may be a spy and ho ma> betray us.'" Youtsey hesitated and I said: "Very well, what did you do next ?" Yoatsey said : "1 left Governoi Taylor and on Tuesday morning I went back to him and said 'The man to do the shooting it now here.'" I interrupted Youtsey there and said: "You have told Col Campbell the name of that mat: and that is one reason why J came over here to jeo you. Not* II you Know mar mucn you car also give me the name of th? man." Mr. Youtsey said : "Well I told him .Jim Howard was here that, I thought ho got here Mon day night." 1 asked him what elso did Tay lor say. Youtsey said: "Gov Taylor walked up and down the lloor and said : 'Youtsey, what dc you think? If Goehel is killed do yen think 1 could hold mj oflice V He discussed that mat ter, talking to me hack and forth and I said to him I thought i Goebel was put out of the waj the contest would bo settled ant that, ho could hold his otTico Finally I said to him, as Govor nor 1 aylor hesitated still: 'It ii up to you to decide now finally whether it is to he done or not, and after some more heaitatioi Youtsey stated that Taylor sait finally: "Well, tell them to g< ahead. If :t is necessary, I cai send the man to the mountaini with a squad of soldiers." I said: "Did ho say nothing about pardoning him ?" and Yout aey said: "Yes, that is so. II< said : 'If it is necessary I can par don him and lie will then be sat< enough.'" Youtsey then stop ped and I asked him : "What di( you do then ? You told Colono ; CampbeM, ho told mo, tha you let. certain people into lJow ers' otflco." Youtsey said: "Yes, I wen back and reported.

When I wen back Berry Howard, Dick Comb and Jim Howard were in the hal I and I unlocked the door and le I i '? luuui hi ttuu pave mem me can ' ridges." I again interrupted an ' asked Youtsey to whom he ha given the cartridges, and he said 4| gave them to Jim Howard. H [ was the last man who went i f the door." ? I said. "How many did yo ' give him?" and he said, "I gav 1 him the whole box." I said, "Mi ' Youtsey, who fired the shot? ? and he said, "I cannot tell you, ( did not see him." I said, "Wha did you do when you let him in? J He said, "I stood near the door. I said, "You gave the cartrid i gea to Jim Howarn ?" "Yes sir." "Where did you get the cart L ridges ?" He said, "I got them from Pow ell and Clement on Main stree in Cincinnati. On the 22nd da; of January I wrote them and toll them to send a box of 38.35 o smokeless steel cartridges, Win ( cheaters." I said, "Was he shot with Winchester rifle ?" He said, "Th cartridges fit either a Wincheste 1 or a Marlin." 1 said, "How much did yoi ' send them ?" He said, "I sent them a post ! office order for a dollar." Mr. Youtsey then stopped am ; I said to him : "Mr. Youtsey, yo i have told Col. Campell and tol - me that Monday morning yo t went to Gov. Taylor and told hir > that Dick Combs was ready to d the shooting that Taylor objected and now you tell me on Tuesda morning you let Dick Combs int ' the office. How is that?" Youl ' sey hesitated and then final! ' said : "Well, those were the thre men 1 let in." I looked at hir 1 and Baid : "They also say tha u Herrv Howard was in the lei ' hand lobby of the legislature an you say that you let him in tha room."

Sawyer Writes From au< ol the Philippines, the War Conditions, the Climate ' and the Products. I want to tell you how I know ^ theae people so well. We landec in Manila on December 27, 1899 and went into camp on the Lu _ neta. On the 1st of January w< j marched to Sampoloe, five or si: miles distant, and marched back The regiment left, and left me ir 1 command of the camp. 1 had t.< t round up the sick and the strag glers, and send all the baggage of the whole regiment over to tin f government warehouse in Manila 1 and at the same time organize and send forward these men ai they came in. This threw mo ii i contact with hundreds of the clas! > of teamsters driving "bull carts' (caraboa, or water buffaloes) caramate8 (a two wheeled toj ' vehicle), and so forfh. On tin - 5th 1 joined my command, ant - took command of my company and was at once sent out on the firing line and placed in com k mand of the outpost. On the 7tl > we marched to Imus. My com 5 pany formed the advance guard That was the day of the bloodv battle of Imus. The next day w< - went to Dasmorinas, driving the r enemy before us. On the night o . the 10th we went to Silau. Oi the 11th we marched over tin mountains to take Taal, anc i fought the battle of Talisov. n was again in command of tin f advance guard and bore tin J brunt of this attack. We were at tacked from ambush across a ra vine where wo could not recon t noitre. I charged across thii . ravine and drove them out o their rillo pits. The nexf day we marched to and took Tananan > The 13th we fought the battle o 1 Luta and took Lipa. The 15M . we took San Jose; on If.th w< tool: Botongas and Banan, fight ing all the way, and releasing 3 300 Spanish prisoners. Wo wen back to Lipa, and since that timi 7 Lipa has been my headquarters j and I have marched 2,000 miles j I have scoured the country in al directions for 20 to 30 miles, then commanded expedition; . varying in length of time Iron one to seven days. I have cover ed almost every foot of land it this territory; been to almos " every house; slept on tlie bar< I ground, with not as much as i 3 handkerchief under me; seen am talked with thousands of thos( people and been in many fights ' captured prisoners, arms, air.tnu 1 nition, horses and rice. Now, . knew these people as well as an; t man can learn them in eigh 9 yearg living among them as have described. Lipa is a larg city. Here some of thewealthies I neonlo live. 1 have talked wit Y and mingled with them, and i know them, too, as well as w 0 can learn them in that length o time. And what I have writte e is based on this experience. The newspapers have oxaggei ated the bad climate. I hav never seen the thermometer nin< ty in the shade. The wet seaso did not start till the 13th of An ,l gust, and it is not bad now. Th 8 sun is not as hot as it is in Amei ica. No sunstrokes here; nobod 0 uses fans. It is perfectly delight e ful in the shade; it is cool n t night. There are very few insect of any kind?(lies, tleas, etc.; n 01 gnats, few mosquitoes, no snake to amount to anything, no taran g tulas, no centipedes. The malari ,t fevers are not one hundredth pat q as bad as in South Carolina. Fc ver yields readily to quinine. Th greatest trouble hero is stomac H worms.

I was solicitor of the second circuit and my time not out ' till the first of next January, and I resigned for a captaincy here, ' because I believed in the cause, c and I am more convinced of the correctness of the course of the 1 government than ever. General j f >tis has no idea of these poo" | pie?he stayed in Manila in his otHce and his policy was 3 all wrong. He did no under' stand the people. General Law3 ton would have ended this thing ' in snor! order it lie had been in command and allowed to use his , judgment. If you remember, when he first came over here ho ' said it would take 100,000 men. * IIo was hooted at. Now, I am not criticising my superior officer; I am only saying what I think, ' and I have given you the reason for thinking so. I have been among the people. There is much more I could say. I have had to write by ' snatches, being often interrupted by my various duties. You will ' | pardon the long letter. I have M as good a company as there is in the whole volunteer army, and I . had as bad material as auy from ! which to form it. I am sorry you did not accept an appointment on the comniis? sion and come over here, but you 3 may be able to do more good in the senate. I hope so. It makes me sick at heart to thinK that our people have gone so crazy on the ' question. Can you not arrest the tide? Can you not do something s to put our people on the right ' track ? What is the matter with j them ! I think you wore right in vot3 ing to ratify tho treaty and in standing by the administration, ' and I have had eight months ox1 perienco here besides tho study before I come. ' I do not get any Charlesfon nor Columbia tinners. I know nothing about state politics and cannot know how crazy our peo' pie are, but I read Mr. Tillman's 1 speech in the senate. These people have it here. Do you 1 know that the Democratic plat^ form will cost at least 1,000 lives ~ of American soldiers here. A leader said yesterday that they were fighting to hold out till p Bryan is elected and then all will ' he well with them. Every speech he makes and every speech such as Hoar and Tillman made is ^ cabled over here and translated and sent broadcast. Then the government is upholding them in ^ murder and treason. If one of | | our men happens to make a mis!? take and shoot the wrong man ' who refused to halt, even a cap? tain of the navy, he is courtmartialed and punished, while thov nv . 1 . | can muruer us aim n we convict I them before a oourtmartial, the r- j president or some other authority, ? J as the case may be, reverses the J- proceedings and the devil goes n j scott free. What is the matter ? i-j Why is this? Why are these o' people treated so much better ' than southern rebels were during y the Civil war and immediately j after it? Can you answer, or it can you get the president to an a swer ? I hope you will use your ol influence to have the 38th regis 'ment sent to China. Do, if you i-jcan. I think every man wants a j to go. Yours sincerely, "t I Claude E.
