THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

SAN ANTONIO special: f. NJ. Hart
ner, an American merchant at Quay
mas, Sonora, Mex, has just arrived
here. He states that the widest ex-
citement exists throughout the state CT
Sonora, over the arrest and conviction
OF Teresa uria, tho celebrated saint of
Cacheosa, by the District Judge OF
GuAymas. st. Teresa was arrested
three weeks ago by detachment of
soldiers, who escorted her and her aged
father, Thomas Uria, to Guaymas.
Both were heavily irOned and kept
closely confined until placed on trial.
She Is accused OF witchery. About two
years ago Teresa first became aware of
a healing power which enabled her to
cure Affections OF all kinds. The news
OF her power spread among the Yaqui
and Mayo Indians, who visited her by
the hundreds. The excitement spread
to all parts Of Sonora and was reaching
the State of Chihuahua when the gov
ernmcnt decided to put an end TO 1t by
arresting the saint and putting her out
Of the way. When the news reached
the Mayo Indians that st. Teresa was
to be shot, they went on the war path
and have devastated vast amount of
property and created much terror
among inc F8HCn OWHcTS. MI. n8TtnGt
SAYS that St Teresa is about II years
OF age and is possessed Of some strange
power. The District Judge firmly be-
lieves that she is witch and that her
father is an accessory. St. Teresa
| would never accept remuneration OF
any kind for the wonderful cures she
is said to have performed. She awaits
her fate quietly and offered no defense
when on trial.

Whore Sunday is on Monday.

Manila is one of the most import
ant ports in the Philippine Islands,
but, strange to say, Is one day behind
all other places Of its size in the world.
This curious fact Is accounted for in
this way: Although the Philippine
Islands lie near the Asiatic coast,
they were discovered by Spaniards
who sailed from America. When
they crossed the magic line where
Sunday changes into Monday. these
fiery dons Of proud Castilian ancestors
did not revise their calender. When
told Of this years later, and informed
that their mode of reckoning time
was not up to modern notions, they
only said that that was 80 much the
worse tor motisen notions Anyhow,
the fact remains TINT these Philip
pine Islands keep plodding along one
day behind the rest OF the world,
which reckons time by new style.

THE SUCCESSION IN BELGIUM

No Male In Line, and the People will Net
Allow Foreign Claimant
Belgium has for some years been
troubled with civil disorders arising
out of the vexed question OF capital
and labor, but now the turmoil is deep
cned by the question OF the succession
which is agitating king and peasant
alike.
The King, Leopold l., in the event
OF the absence OF direct heirs, has the
right to name his successor from col
lateral male lines. subject to the ap-
proval by a two-thirds vote of the Sem
ate and House of Deputies AS is well
known, His Majesty has no sons, but
three daughters-Stephanie, widow
OF the Crown Prince Of Austro- Hun
gary; Princess Louise, wife of the
Austrian General, Prince Philip Of
Saxe-Coburg, and Princess Clemen-
tine, who is still unmarried. Ac-
cording to the Constitution, princesses
OF the blood and their descendants
!; forever are excluded from the right
of succession to the crown. The
Kings brother, the Count Of Elan.
/ dcrs, therefore, is heir to the throne.
He is so deaf, however, that he will
never exercise his rights, even though
he should outlive the King. Prince
Albert, the Counts only son since the
tragic death of his brother, is to be
looked upon as the future successor
Of King Leopold. But the Prince,
unfortunately, is weak physically and
donbts are entertained that he will
live to wear the ropal purple.
The wishes of His Majesty, there
fore, to have the question of sue
cession settled in case Prince Albert
should die without male heirs, is
natural. No other Belgian Prince is
available. His Majesty was desirous
OF securing change in the Constitu-
tion, allowing princesses of the line to
succeed to the throne, as in England,
Spain, and the Netherlands, but his
project excited so much opposition
that he was obliged to renounce it
entirely. He dearly wishes, however,
to name the Oldest son of Prince
Philip Of Saxe-Coburg, his grandson,
as heir presumptive to the throne, to
succeed as king should Prince Albert
die.
The King is bent on carrying
through this project, but the Radicals
will have none OF the foreign Prince.
1t is quite likely that the contest
will result in seriously weakening the
royal sentiment in Belgium and CIV
ing an impetus to the already strong
Republican current. The Belgian
Senate a short time ago recorded its
conviction against a foreigner, and it
now seems as if Leopold might be the
last king OF the little state. Post
