TT-- IjOST HIS HEAD

Davkl Fnxm. the Troublesome Deserter Killed l?v Natives. Manila, Dec. 9.—Native scouts from Bengabon, province of Nueva Ecija, have killed the American negro David Fagin, a deserter from the 2 It.}, fool ored) infantry, who for more t.har two years has been loading Filipino! against the American troops. The native scouts decapitated their prisoner. The mart's head, however, was recognized as that of Fagin's. They also cucured his commission in the insurgent army. Fagin had on one oi' his fingers the class ring of Lieutenant Frederick W. Alt.statter of the engineers, who was captured by Filipinos, supposedly under the command of Fagin himself. Oct. 28. 1900. Fagin has been reported killed upon several occasions. The authorities are satisfied that former statements of his death were erroneous and that he has now been killed.

A military commission has sentenced the Filipino general Isidore Torres to be hanged, after finding him guilty of ordering the assassination of Corporal Fieldner of the 12th infantry at Malolos, province of Bulucan, last October. The sentence of the commission has been disapproved, by General Chaffee, who finds that the commission had reasonable grounds to doubt whether General Torres personally ordered the assassination of the American soldier. General Chaffee th'nks that the high rank held by Torres in the insurgent army would have been sufficient to prevent such unmilitary action on his part.

Dee. 11.—Rejected by the young woman upon whom he had fixed his fancies, David Carle, aged 22 years, last evening shot anil fatally wounded Mabel Darlington, aged IS years, adopted daughter of John Spahr, a wealthy farmer residing six miles west of this city, and then ended his own life by sending a bullet into his brain.

Carle had long evinced his love for the young woman, who did not reciprocate his affections, and about, two weeks ago ho attempted to commit Buicide by hanging himself. Last evening he drove to the Spahr home and again urged the young woman to look upon his suit with favor, Her refusal to comply with his wishes angered the young man and he told her if she would noi. be his sweetheart she should never live to love anyone else.

The frightened girl attempted to leave the room, and Carle drew a revolver and fired a shot into her breast at. close range. The report of the pistol alarmed Mr. and Mrs. Spahr, who rushed into the room as Carle fired two more shots into the girl's body as she sank to the floor. The would-be murderer then ran into the front yard and fired two shots into his own head, the first shot making only a scalp wound, the second penetrating the brain, causing instant death. Miss Darlington is still alive, but as one of the bullets penetrated the chest below the left nipple and the other two bullets passed clear through the left side of her body, her recovery is considered impossible.
