C. Nov. II. Details of the massacre of members of Company Ninth Infantry, at Samar, Philip pine Islands, have been received here through Lieutenant F. F.

Allison, who was one of the passengers on the steamer Empress of China. The mill tary commanders, lulled by the appar ent of the natives, had no inoiigtita or an uprising. Certain pioneer work was being done and the night before the massa ere the village president declared to Captain Connell that he needed 100 more native laborers: Not having the men on hand, Captain Connell told the president to do the best he could and to get any native who would work in clearing away the underbrush. This was what the Filipinos wanted a chance to get together a bodyof men. Just before daybreak the natives with bolos among the underbrush be-gan'coming Into ramp.

Then the mas sacre began. The last underbrush man killed tbe sentry, the church bell rang, the soldiers went to breakfast below the floor that held their arms, the Insurgents separated, half went upstairs and shot down the men there and the latter half went in the mess room and seized the soldiers by force of numbers. A terrible vengeance executed upon the enemy then followed. Connell was apparently: awakened In his quarters by the attackers pouring in. He was alone, so he jumped from the window down among his guards, but the guards had all been slaughtered.

He was struck down by many boloB Just as' soon as he struck: the ground. Not satisfied with killing him the assassins hacked bis body to bits, severing the head, upon which they piled paper and sticks of wood, setting them on fire to make the face unrecognizable. The 'body, however, was identified by Lieutenant Droul-lard's detachment, which came down from Bazey. Separated from Uelr weapons, most of the rank and file fought with table knives, stones, clubs and. such weap ons as chanced their way.

13. A dls tingulshed party of officers of the army and navy, with senators and represen tatlves and Invited guests, arrived at the proving grounds early this after noon to the comparative test between tbe new Gathmann 8-Inch gun, claimed by Its inventor, Lewis Gathmann, to be the greatest death dealing and destructive Instrument of modern times, and the regular 12-lncli service rlllt-'s now assigned to coast de fense. Upon these testa depended the fate of the monster instrument of death! Should it be favorably acted upon by General Miles and members of the army ordnance and fortification board who are present, it may revolutionise warfare. There has been much opposition to the adoption of the gin because of the belief of ordnance officers that it Is not practicable to ue guncotton or other unstable explosives in projectiles to be discharged by other explosives. They contend that too much danger Is In curred In the firing.

Despite this, Gathmann has remained steadfast in his theory for fourteen years and he has had the support of influential con gressmen, Senator Hanna among them. Today's teet means an outlay of 000 of government money, the appro nrl.itlnn fnr the pvnerlmpnt. Tha ripr. feet hurricane gale was sweeping over the Hook, but this did not interfere with the trials.

B. Henderson, of the house of representatives, will arrive in the city Friday. Under ordinary conditions a full-fledged fight for the speakership of the next house would be now In progress, but as matters stand' the house will or ganise next month without a flurry. A caucus ot Republican members will be held a few days before the opening ot the session and Mr. Henderson will be agreed upon for speaker by unanimous VOte.

His re-election means that Sereno E. Payne, of New York, will continue to be the leader of the Republicans on the floor and that there will be few changes of importance on committees. Mr. Henderson appointed the committees last congress and, as he will go into office unhampered by pledges, he win retain to a very large degree the old organization: The only changes of importance will be promotions due to the retirement of men who were committee leaders last year, but will not figure in the next congress. Among the Democrats there Is talk of a contest for the leadership, but it does not reem to have taken organised form.

Congressman J. D. Richardson, of. Tennessee, who was the leader in the last congress, seems to. have the Inside fot re-election, De Armond, of Missouri, however, would have a strong following if he should choose to make a congest for the honor.
