Special to the Scranton Tribune. Plttston, May 20. Yesterday evening nbout C o'clock two boys returning from a ftshlni trip found the dead body of a man hanging, from a tree In the woods near Fuller Patch, Just back of West Wyoming. They brought assistance to the spot. The man was Identified as John Roman, a Slavonian, aged about 45 years, his wife living In the old country. It looks like suicide, and tho'manner In which he ended his life was peculiar. Along Abraham's creek runs a path within a half dozen feet of the water's edge. At the spot chosen by the suicide are a number of wild grape vines. Securing one of the vine trailers hanging from the tree, the man made a loop through which he stuck his head, and then sat down, slowly strangling to death. When found, he was In a sitting position, his legs flat on the ground and thighs nbout one Inch from the grass. Ills arms were by his sides and his hands clutched the roots of the vine as if he had tried to pull hU body down In order to tighten the loop nbout his neck. The man had boarded with it Mrs. Rowan, nt Sturmerville, and was last seen alive on Friday. On that day he hired Matthew Dougher, of Exeter bor ough, lo co to impont, where he had recently been working, nnd bring ids trunk down to Mrs. Rowan's. Dough er says Roman appeared to be In a happy mood and left him to go In search of work. The body was quite cold when found and it is thought It had been hanging since Friday even ing. The body was taken In charge by a Wyoming undertaker, and a coroner's Jury will hold an Inquest in a few days. BLACK DIAMOND BREAKER. Destroyed by tho Torch, Applied by Tramp Firebugs.

When the island of Guam came un der the dominion of the United States it was supposed to be .hr smallest possession of any Impoi-tiU'ce that we had. Rut there Is another American possession but a sp.-l: on the broad bo?om of the Pacific which h.T3 be come Important: our little Samoan "coal-box," the Island of Tutulla, where lies the famous Pago-Pago har bor, constituting all told an area of less than Ilfty-flve square miles. While It Is Intended for a coaling station for our navy, It will undoubted'y assume mmo importance than this when It has been formally introduced to Amer ican ways and laws. In some tespects Tutulla will bo one of our most Im portant Puclllc possessions, for it will bo a link between the Pacific coast and the far east, and In times of hos tilities It would be a key to ;ha naval situation In the Southern Paclll; wat ers. Resides the fine harbor of Pago Pago, which cuts tho islan 1 almost In two, and affords an excellent road stead to ships of any size and draught. It has a good harbor In Leone Ray, which Is protected from the hurricanes and simoons that once, at least, In modern history have given civilized nations reason to be alarmed of their severity. The great disaster of a dozen years ago, when American, German and English war vessels were to roughly handled, has not been forgot ten by naval onicers. Had the fleet of vessels been anchored ut Pago-Pagj such a disaster could not havo trans plred. The Tutllans, numbering about four thousand, are a fine, stalwart race, who have for a century enjoyed a repu tation for fierceness that is probably hardly deserved. The Islanders today are not unfriend, ly tu the white people, and American naval commanders anticipate no trou ble in establishing nominal rule over our new possession. Tho people ar? engaged chiefly In fishing for a living, but the Island, despite Its rocky for mation, Is rich and fertile. It produces more sugar, coffee, cotton and cocoi nuts to the acre than any other mem ber of tho Samoan group. Consider able quantities of cocoanut oil Is ex ported, and the natives gather tha fruits for this Industry from all parts of the Island. Collier's Weekly.

BRYAN AND THE INSURGENTS. Hope for His Election Keeps tho Philippine Rebellion Alive. The following letter, "showing tho hopes placed by tho Filipino Insur gents In tho election of Air. Rryan as president of tho United States, and that this one thing Is keeping the re bellion nllve, wis written by a captain In tho volunteer service of tho Ameri can army to his family. It speaks for Itself: Lucyban, Tayabas Prov., Luzon, P. I. February 19, 1900. The onicers and soldiers In the army In the Philippines are pretty careful students of tho causes of tho contin uation of this rebellion. And there Is one opinion freely expressed and gen eral arnong them all namely, that the ono thing that Is keeping the rebellion alive Is the hope of the election of Mr. Rryan, as tho president of the United States. The army Is convinced of this, be cause friendly natives all over tho Island contlually advance thls as tho promise that the Insurgent leaders hold out to their followers, and In surgent prisoners frcqeutnly make the assertion. The troops, In going through the Is land, have picked up many copies of the different Insurgent publications, now suppressed, which claim that Mr. Rryan will be elected, and has prom ised to withdraw the American troops and turn the islands over to the Agul naldo government. I have more times than I can count heard ofllcers and men say, "the blood of every American killed from now on Is upon the head of Mr. Rryan. He can stop this rebellion at any moment by announcing that he does not sym pathize with the rebels, and will not recognize them If elected." And they add further, "Rut he will never do this, because he needs this point in his campaign. If he should be elected, he would never recognize the r.ibels, but ho could not stop the bloodshed by saying so, because It would be In consistent with his present course." Mr. Rryan perhaps does not realize what a factor he Is In tho present re bellion. If he knew It, ho would prob ably end It by disavowing any in tention of recognizing tho rebel gov ernment In any case. Whether Rryan Is elected or not, will make no difference In these conditions until fall .at least. Until he Is finally defeated and the scattered Insurgents have all received the nsws, they will contlue to fight and plunder, believing that If they can only hold out until March, 1901, the new American ad ministration will withdraw the army, recognize the Agulnuldo government, and probably leave a licet here nuder Aguinaldo's orders to protect the new born power against all molestation from without. We know of our own knowledge, that tho Insurgents universally believe In this hope, and that it is this that holds them together, for we hae talked to tho insurgent prisoners as well as to the friendly natives, and many regiments have men who have been captured by the insurgents and escaped. The company tailor of M company, this regiment, for example, was captured during a skirmish at Cablntl, January 27th, and is now back with the regiment, after three weeks' captivity. The Insurgent oM cors, some of whom talked English well, sounded him a good deal, and told him that when Rryan was elected all the American soldiers would be or dered home and the insurgents recog nized" The Filipino soldiers talked about Hryan continually, and believed be would be elected soon, and turn the Island over to them. All the Filipinos know about Hryan and talk about him, and ask questions about him of the soldiers. A man of my company told a Filipino at Santa Cruz that Hryan would never be elect ed. The man said he surely would, then the United States would have free silver, and all the Americans would have to go home from the Philippines. They all say Rryan Is' a very great man, when you mention his name. The soldiers take notice of all this, and I have heard them say, while trudging along at the heavy end of a hard day's march: "Rryan, Rryan, damn Rryan. I'm tired of hearing the Filipinos talk about Rryan. If It wasn't for him we could go home, In stead of hiking all over these moun tains chasing Insurgents." THE MARKETS. Wall Street Review.
