WAR AGAINST arabs
The Recent Belgian Cam

Thousands Killed and Thousands
Taken Prisoners-Emin's Mistress

Murderer Shot-His Latest Papers.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 17.-Mail dispatches
from the Congo Free State have brought
the details of Capt. Dhanis' victories over
the Arabs at Nyangwe and Kasongo some
months ago.
The Arabs had entrenched the mselves
along the Congo and ortnumbered the
Belgians twenty TO one. Nevertheless, at
ter bloody fight, the Belgians carried the
Arab positions. Many Arabs were killed
and wounded and 5000 were taken pris-
ouers.
Planned TO Expcl All Europeans.
The fugitive Arabs tried to cross the
Lualaba river some distance southeast OF
the Nyangwe Hundreds were drowned
and the rest scattered in all directions.
Letters found upon prisoners showed
that the Arabs had planned to eXpel all
the Europeans from the whole Congo re-
gion.
Further north on the Congo, Capt. Pou-
thier, after capturing Kibuudu, half way
between Stanley Falls and Riba Riba,
drove Rachid and Kibenge, with their men,
for three days across the country.
Emin's Murderer Shot.
The Europeans made thousands OF pris
oners aud seized |, 200 rifles.
Among the prisoners were p Arab chiefs,
one of them, Abibo Ben Said, who killed
Emin Pasha in October, 1892, in the north.
eastern part of the Congo Free State The
murderer was court -martialed and shot,
after having been identified.
Emin's Mistress and Child Escape.
Inc only survivors OF the massacre were
Zanzibarite Aslnia, Emin's mistress, and
their child, Monsonna. The Arabs spared
the boy, in the expectation that if On
dowed with his fathers brains and energy
he might be trained to be great leader.
All of Emin's latest papers were re-
ceived yesterday and were delivered to
King Leopold.
The leaders OF the BelGians in the Congo
Free State say that nearly all the children
of the Arab chieftains in the Congo region
have been captured.

Diseases OF the Hog.

Three-fourths Of the diseases among
hogs are owing to the way they are
fe0 aud taken care OF. For instance,
some farmers have their hogs shut
up in small pen or lot, Snd then
keep them probably without shelter
or even bed to sleep on; throw
their cOrn-fOr they never iced any
thing el+e-on the ground wet or dry,
where it sometimes gets 30 muddy
they can hardly get around, still
they continue to throw the corn into
this same mud, and 1t is tYampled
under foot where they cannot get ii
without roofing it out, and in the
end eaS more mud than corn. After
all this, the farmer will say l cannot
see why my nogs do not fstten bette
Can, any sensible man expect hogs TO
ialten in this way? 1t is wonder
that they live under such treatment
IL is Just because OF such treatment
as this that the country is seOurged
with the fatal disease, hog cholera,
from year to year. Tie hog il
naturally a clean animal il he is
given half cuauce, but you cannot
expect him TO keep elesn and thrive

that it draws heavy draughts upon

the other hand, takes little from the
soil and adds much to 1t. These two
crops are consequently well adapted

understands their proper relations is
pretty sure to make money Auu keep
his farm from degenerating. Corn
should come in rotation right after
Clover. A heavy clover sod turned

Ashes for Hogs.

The high price Of hogs makes it a
very important thing 10 get rs much
weight as possible from the corn fed.
Corn is deficient IN bone and nerve
food Prot Henry has found by ex-
pcr,ment that bOLe meal makes corn
go further and that hardwood
asues are nearly as good as bone
meal. he reports rs follows:
All the pigs in each trial were from
the same litter, aud were divided in
TO three lOts, all getting all the corn
meal they would eat The first lot
WAS given a pinch of bone meal daily
In Tue feed the second Received hard-

bone meal we more than doubled the

about so per cent more ash in he
bones OF tue hogs receiving bone

bones Of those not 80 fed. IL will be
reeu that ashes fed to the hogs did
about the same work as tue bone
meal, and, 4ince they are quite cheap
and readily obtained on most IA ms
we have encouraged our farmers to
feed ashes freely to their hog. or
course, the feeding Of ashes 10 hogs
il all old practice, but in the prairi-
sections it il sometimes too much
neglected. We have recommended
the ashes of corn cobs as especially
valuable for this purpose. 1t sLould
be remembered that We fed nothing
but corn to the hogs during these tri-
ala. We did this III order to bring
out more strongly the possible weak
ness Of this sort of feed. Where hogs
received a variety of feeds, the benefits
OF these ashes would, without doubt,
no: be 30 marked. Still, any one
who uses tho latter Knows how very
fond hogs are OF them.

THE REVOLT IN HONDURAS,

Reports That 1t Has Been Crushed and
Peace Re-established.
A special from Panama, Colombia, saws:
News has just been received here which indi-
Gates that the revolution in Honduras is at an
end and that peace has been restored. Presi-
dent Ponciano Leiva has invested Gen.
Domingo VasqueZ, minister of war, with the
powers usually exercised by the executive.
Gen Vasquez is really president of Honduras.
As a result Of the assistance given by Nicara-
qua to the revolutionary leader, Policorpo Be-
niiia. war may be declared between that re-
public and Honduras at any moment.
Gen. Luis Bogran will probably be appointed
minister of war. Under Gen. Bogran's admin
istration Gen. Nasquez was sent out of Hon
duras during the presidents visit to the
United States. When Leiva succeeded Bogran
as chief executive he recalled Vasquez and
made him minister of war.
1t now appears that the difference between
Vasduez and Bogran was patched up by the re-
linquishment of the presidency by Leiva in
favor of Vasquez. Gen. Bogran, being
minister Of war. however, will virtually be
president Together Vasquez and Bogran will
be able to defeat Nicaragua.
A war of this kind may be over in few
weeks. When it is ended there will be new
election and Gen. Bogran will be chosen presi-
dent. Positions will thus be changed, for when
Bogran becomes president he will choose Vas
quez as his minister of war.

of young men and about a dozen women. The
wharf was black with people when the boat
pulled into the landing. brought there by the
reports in the morning papers that riot. blood

keep the crowd on the wharf back, they being

The Factions Likely to Come Together at

Advlces from Honolulu, dated April u,
show that matters are really in a danger
Gus condition on the islands and that any
day NAV bring about conflict between the
provisional government and the royalists.
The latter have received large additions from
the white element that has become hostile to
the new government and the most serious phase
of all is that the provisional government is not
sure of its own men.
Royalists are still jubilant and say that they
have good grounds for believing that Mr..
Blount will use his influence to restore the
queen. but there is no proof to support their
statements. He has not yet committed himself
to any plan either by word or sign.
Yet royalist native was heard to say in
dead earnest that one of these fine mornings
Blount would walk over to the queens house,
offer her his arm, and escort her back to the
palace.
The political uncertainty has completely
parayzed business and every one is hoping
for a speedy settlement.
The rank and file are composed Of adventur-
ers. VINO would sell out any cause for a good
round sum. Meanwhile the air is thick with
rumors of royalist plots to secure the queen 5

By o'clock the next morning ninety-six men
were SO ill that a company of the National
Guard was called out to take their places. The
poisoned men had recovered on the 18th and
