KEEPING VERY QUIET.
A LULL IN THE HIGHBINDER WAR
IN SAN FRANCISCO.
The Heather Murderers P-eser wing an
Ominous Silence Arrests Made for
vagrancy-Several More Kallings Nee
essary to Make the Score Even.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.--Since the
murder of On Hing Keong, in the jack
'son-street theatre last Friday evening,
the highbinders have been very quiet.
There are two reasons for this; first,
there are many more police on duty in
the Chinese quarter than usual, and,
second, it is well known that highbind-
ers are being arrested and charged with
vagraney. Ten have been arrested SO far.
IF the police are prevented from cap
turing the murderers by the silence of
all the Chinese in the city, they are
bound to make as much trouble for the
Chinese outlaws as possible. ForsaM the
apparent calm, the spirit of war still
hovers In Chinatown. Before the score
between the Suey Ong Tong and the
Suey Sing Tong is even the Suey
Ling Tongs will have to kill another
Suey Ong. In the feud between the On
Yek Tong and the Suey Ongg Tong,
one OF the latter society must die-Aefore
the score is even.

A SLAVE SHIPS FATE.
THE BRIG TAHITI FOUND DIS
MANTLED AT SEA.
Her Crew of Twenty-One Men and the
270 Gilbert Islanders Aboard Thought
to Have Perished-Failure of the First
Attempt to Land Slaves in Mexico.

SAN Francisco, Nov. pa dispatch
from Manzarrillo, Mexico, states that
the steamer Roseville arrived there and
reports passing at sea the wreck of the
brig Tahiti. The vessel had evidently
been capsized at least month ago.
Part of her rigging had been cut away,
but the masts we're still standing.
Most of the Boats remained by
the ship, showing that probably
all hands were lost. The Tahiti
created sensation last September
by putting into Drake's bay, north of
here, in distress, with a cargo of 270
Gilbert Islanders, on the way to Mexico
under contract at starvation wages.
The natives were practically slaves, and
there was much talk of seizing the ves-
sci. Collector Phelps, however, de-
cided that he had no power to detain
her, and she sailed away. 1t now ap-
pears that all the natives and the crew
of twenty-one officers and men, 291 in
ali, have been lost, and the first attempt
at landing "blackbirds" in Mexico is a.
failure.

BLAINE's GOOD HEALTH.
Jingo's Physician Makes a Most Tlatte1-
ing Report.

ing Report.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-The Press
tomorrow will publish the following :
To consult his medical advisers was the
prime reason for Blaine's trip-to Phila-
delphia. Blaine learned that he was in
better health and strength now than
four years ago, and that year hence he
will be stronger than now. He learned
further that he ia as good man physi-
caliy at 81 years (Mr.- Blaine's age) as
anybody else of like age. His physician
said: 'Mr. Blaine is we'll man. For
his years he is sturdy. When I'began
to attend him last spring he
was suffering from acute illness;
he was in very bad condition, completely
broken down by over work. l did not
know what the outcome would be. Now
there is no doubt in my mind, for his
health is excellent. He is back to his
normal weight, has good appetite and
sleeps we'll. He has become we'll by
the exercise of common sense, not med
icines. At Bar Harbor he, went
out riding 80 far per day, walked
certain distance, and played
hand ball. Before his illness he was
mot a man who would take much exer
else. Now he has grown to like it. If
Blaine continues to take care OF himself,
] see no reason why he should, not live
many years longer. He has entered
upon ripe age, being 81 years old, and
takes pleasure in his present strength. =

CHICAGO. Nov. 29.-For over an hour
today on wintry Lake Michigan four
men stared full in the face of what
seemed to be inevitable death. They
were aboard the tug John Miller, which,
wrapped in flames, was running at full
speed in great circle. The men had
only buckets to delay the moment when,
apparently, they would have to decide
whether to burn or drown. The tug
Welcome sighted the burning tug, and
started to the rescue, but the waves
were running so high that she was long
delayed. AT last she succeeded in steam
ing close to the Miller, and by almost
superhuman exertions took aboard the
scorched and exhausted seamen. The
Welcome took fire, and only prompt
measures prevented her destruc-
ton. The four men who escaped
from the Miller were Captain
Peter Berry, Engineer James Berry,
Fireman Newman and a deck hand.
The Welcome was under command of
Capt. Thomas Berry, brother of the
Miller's captain. The rescue took place
five miles from shore. The fire is sup
posed to have originated in the explo-
sion of lamp. After driving the en-
gineer and wheelsman from their posts
the flames disabled the steering appa-
tus, which had been set by Captain
Berry to head straight for port, instead
Of making the huge circle that SO nearly
proved the doom of himself and men.

Horrors.
Associated Press Dispatches


LONDON, Nov. 29 = Advices from
Shanghai are to the effect that the rebe
forces in Manchuria defeated the impe-
rial troops sent to suppress the uprising
in that region. The imperial forces
numbered 1000 and the defeat causes
the government the greatest anxiety
, Reinforcements to the number of 600O
have been dispatched from Tien-Tsin to
oppose the rebels who are marching to
Pekin. II the imperial troops are again
defea led the position of Pekin and Tien-
Tsin will be extremely critical.
UNPARALLELED HORRORS.
The Chronicles correspondent at Tien-
Tsin says official reports of the Takow
massacre contain details of horrors al
most without parallel even in the his
tory of China. Previous dispatches have
given but faint idea of what happened.
The members OF the little Belgian mis-
sion had no opportunity of escaping.
The slaughter commenced with the
killing of the native converts,
many OF whom were put to death
with fiendish cruelty. Children of ten
der years were seized oy the savages,
hacked with knives and roasted at
huge fire. A worse fate still befell the
nuns, who were subjected to the gross
est indignities, being brutally outraged
by the fiends, who afterward Drained
priests were cruelty tortured, but met
their fate with Christian resignation.
One had his heart and tongue torn from
his body and burned by the savages in
murderous frenzy.
THE FIENDs FEAsTED AND FETED.
The most astounding statement is that
when the miscreants had been satiated
with outrage and slaughter, they were
feasted and feted by the leading Chinese
mandarin in the district.
The foreign diplomatic body at Pekin
is simply furious. The whole European
colony is boiling with indignation.
THE REBELS MARCH UNfMPEDED.
News from Mongolia is increasinly
serious. The rebel forces are reported
growing larger, and their forward march
has been continued SO far uninte--
ruptedly. The imperial troops have
mot yet come in touch with
the rebels. Furthe- detachments
of troops have been ordered
forward. The rebels in their southwark
march have occupied the towns without
resistance being made by the populace,
At all places through which they passed
the rebels made requisition upon the
inhabitants for supplies.
FOREGOING REPORTS CONFIRMED.
