SPANS HARSH TREATMENT
OF the Peaceful Natives of the
Caroline Islands.
THEIR VILLAGES FIRED UPON
Tho Islanders Make a Brave
Resistance.


CARTHAGE, LII, May 2S.- Tho Rev.
and Mrs. Frank Rand of this city, who
have for some years been missionaries in
the Caroline Islands, have returned
home from those Islands. They expect
in short time to lay before the Ameri-
can Board of Commissioners of Foreign
Missions ut Boston the full story of the
wrongs done them and the natives.
This board, under whose auspices Mr..
and Mrs. Rand went TO Ponape In 1874,
is acquainted with the main facts lead
ing up to the troubles on these islands.
The world in general has not known of
these outrages in detail and Mr.. Rand
has made them generally public for the
first time, as follows:
In 1887 Spain sent Governor Posi-
diico to the islands 10 assume charge.
lie began TO make slaves Of the natives,
requiring them to work constantly and
to furnish their own food.
In September, 1889, Spain sent rein
forcements to the islands under COM
mand of new governor, Cardossa.
Carlossa, learning that King Paul of
the Metalabim tribe, did not propose to
submit TO SPANS demands, ordered the
native villages shellcd and general
onslaught on the islands. She mission
aries were notified that they should no
longer teach, and that they must go
away or suffer the consequences.
Consequently the American mis-
sionaries boarded the missionary ship
the Morning Star, and went TO the
island of Mokil.
In the meantime the Spanish ships
opened fire on the native villagers pour.
ing constant rain Of shell and bullets
into their huts. This warfare was kept
up for three days and the natives were
assaulted by land troops. But only three
natives were killed in this battle, while
the Spanish loss was 300. This was the
last battle between Spain and tho natives
and since then Spain has heen endeavor-
ing to compel the stubborn tribes to
yield. King Paul, who is much of a
Christian, says he will never surrender
TO Spain.
Mr.. Rand says that his return to
Ponape will depend altogether upon
what action is taken in the matter by
the government of the United States,
and the action of Spain.

and managed to crawl out on the bank
where friends rescued him.
His body was terribly lacerated, his
head received severe bruises and his
collar bone was broken. DR.. Bowes,
his physician, thinks there is chance
for recovery.
Mr.. Mullen was advised several times
BY his sons to have the bnll killed, but

What Rev. DIR. shipper Says Of the
Next Unitarian Conference.

What Rev. DIR. shipper Says of the
Next Unitarian Conference.
Rev. Rush r. Shipper. pastor OF the Uni
tartan Church in this city. has just re-
turned from a European trip and the Uni
tartan conference at Sars toga. Mr.. Ship
pen thinks the next conference thould be
held in Washington. He has an eye to the
practical side OF the question, and says
that while there are ample facilities for
holding the conference In Saratoga, the
press facilities do not seem to be as good.
He thinks that II is a great mistake to
hold such meetings where there are not
plenty OF newspaper men and important
papers. as well as what he calls a com
munity' interested In what is going on.
OF course, the Unitarians were overshad-
owed to some extent by the New York
democratic convention. which was one of
dramatic scenes and national Importance.
Mr.. Shipper says that as the conference
does not meet again for two years there
Will be plenty of time to arrange for the
gathering. He refers to the very full re-
ports made of the Presbyterian synod held
here is sure to get much better treatment
by the press than elsewhere. Besides the
full reports Of the local press, he says.
there are so many newspaper men here,
representing all the great dailies, that,
while the Associated Press sends every
thing of general interest, the correspon-
dents supplement the reports by anything
of interest to their own sections. and espe-
cially as to the prominent part taken by
men from the cities they represent. Mr..
Shipper intends to leave nothing undone to
bring the next conference here.
