Iowa, grreai deal of prominence because of the Interest he took in the affairs of the urg-anization. At the time of his death he was coroner of the county, a position to ---hich he was thrice elected hy nverwhelmmg- majorities. He was a stalwart republican in politics, but he had many personal friends among the of the county who never failed to record their votes for him at the polls. General Ankeny greatly delighted to have a number of old veterans assemble at his office to fight over again the battles of the rebellion. He had seen strenuous service as a soldier and greatly enjoyed relating- thrilling experiences encountered in the service.

His office was. for this reason, a. redezvous for many veterans of the civil war. who beguiled the time in relating incidents tragic, serious, dramatic and tomic of the days when Sheridan, Grant, Sherman and Logan led the legions of the Union to battle with those in rebellion against the g-overnrnent. For three or four years preceding his death he acted as assistant overseer for the poor and had a grea deal to do with relieving their wants.

Naturally of an emotional and sympathetic nature, he was easily imposed upon for a time, but experience soon enabled him to sift the wheat from the chaff, and in a short time he learned to pick out the deserving poor from those who would not hesitate to apply for alms when In no need of it or who were amply able to do for themselves.

General of Military Commiuion, Washington, Dec. war department has received from the Philippines the records of the court martial by which three natives were tried for implication in the murder of five American soldier prisoners. One of the Filipinos was Timoteo Dahlan, a commandante of the insurgent forces, who ordered Manuel Gonzales, a lieutenant of Insurgents, to kill the presi- dente of the puebla of San Migael de ilayumo, province of Bulacan. GonzaJes, in command of a band of insurgents, successfully ambushed a detachment of the Thirty-fifth volunteer Infantry, taking five of the American soldiers prisoners. The Americans had been acting as a guard for the presidente of Miguel de Mayumo, and he, too, passed into the hands of the insurgents.

The Americans, captured and afterwards killed were Privates John T. Hickman, company Win. A. Smith, company Hamlet Jarvis, company Elmer Dane, company and Frank H. Wilson, company E.

The presidente was stabbed. The Americans were placed in charge of a sergeant, taken away and killed ivith bolos. There was an attempt on the part of each of the three Filipinos to shift the responsibility for the crime at the trial. It was developed that Commandante Dahlan in ordering the ambuscade gave the following directions to Lieutenant Gonzales: "Separate Jose Bueneamio (the presidente) from the Americans, and with these Americans do as if you were to take them to the general; but when you reach the tall grass, do with them what we are accustomed to do." He finished his directions for the murders with these words: "You will receive fi.ve pesos for the soldiers. God keep your life many years." In passing upon the findings in the case of the insurgent commandante General Chaffee said: "His open appeal to the base instincts of his soldiers by promising reward for the execution of his inhuman command aggravate? his offense and marks the accused as one so lost to the better instincts of his race as to preclude an appeal to clemency." Tn Dahlan's case and that of Gonzales, General Chaffee approved the sentences of death by hanging- imposed by the military commission.

In that of Clemente de La Cruz, the sergeant who personally directed the murder of the prisoners, he commuted the death sentence to imprisonment for life at hard labor.
