Worcester, a member of the United States commission iu the Philippines, which is in part as follows: "At present the insurgents are resorting to the last resort of wholesale aBsassination. They are putting prices on the heads of men known to be friendly to the Americans and are resorting to the most fiendish tortures and mutilations in order to influence the common people by fear. A letter was captured a few weeks since from a man sent in to organize insurgent committees in four or live towns where we have established municipal government. He stated that he had found it impossible for him to carry out his mission, as the people had unfortunately been seduced by the Americans, and said that he could do-nothing until four or five lives had been taken in each of these towns. to PiOGOS.
