Little Boy Commits Suicide.

Whiting, Ind. Oct. 81. - James
Humphrey, the 9-year-old son of John
Humphrey, who has been missing for
four weeks, was Monday found dead in
the bushes near a saloon on the out
skirts of town by Fred Fentensberg.
The body was badly decomposed, and
was recognizable only by the clothing
worn. There was bullet hole in the
head, and revolver by the side Of the
body, indicating that death was self
inflicted. Some months ago the child
was taken from the children's home in
Chicago and adopted by Mr.. Humph-
rey. Last spring he ran away from
here, and was found near Lincoln park,
Chicago, having walked the entire DIS
lance to get back to his old hons.
The little fellow demurred against be-
ing sent back to his foster parents,
but was returned here, and lived with
them till about month ago, when he
ran from the house and was not seen
again until today.

AgreeabIy TO Both Sides.
Toronto, Ont, Oct. 20.-The vexed
question Of the abolition of state-aided
Roman Catholic schools In the pro-
vince of Manitoba, after causing the
defeat OF the late conservative govern
ment four months ago, has been finally
and satisfactorily settled by the new
liberal cabinet at Ottawa. After Man
itoba had abolished separate schools
the Upper government tried to coerce
the western provinces into restoring
them, holding that the constitution
provided for such right being granted
to the catholics. The Laurier party
promised the electors that 1t would
settle the question amicably.
The province is to have national
schools in which no religious .enets
are to be recognized. but catholics and
protestant ministers of the gospel are
to be privileged at certainpgotTisy-jm
to be allowed the privilege at certain
hours after the schools have been dis
missed of giving religious instructions.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 21.-Ad-
vices by the steamer Peru from Singa-
pore and Hongkong state UP to Sept.
q that the rebellion in the Philippine
Islands is much more serious than has
been generally recognized. 1t is said
the reports of revolutionist defeats
sent out by Spanish officers have been
greatly exaggerated and that so far the
rebels have more than held their own
in the struggle for independence. 1t Is
stated the revolution is now beyond
the control of the Spanish authorities,
and that unless reinforcements are
sent to Manila Immediately the Span
ish forces are in danger of final, defeat.
The rebels hold the province of Cav.
lite, are well organized and have 5000
Mauser rifles There are many natives
in the Spanish troops and the officers
are afraid to take native regiments in
TO the interior because their loyalty is
doubted.

Threatened With Recall.

Key West, Fla, Oct. Elf the Span
ish authorities had taken Senior Angel
Fernandez off the Ward Line steamer
Vigilancia while that vessel was in Ha-
vana Harbor last Friday United States
warships would have Immediately been
ordered TO Havana to enforce demand
for reparation and war between this
country and Spain would have I'M
doubtediy resulted.
For three hours last Friday the
United States and Spain were on the
brink of war, and the threatening sit
uation was only relieved when the
Spanish authorities ANONYMOUSLY
backed down and allowed the Vigilan-
cha to proceed to sea with Fernandez
still on board.
A letter received here from a cores
pendent in Havana who is close to
Consul-General Lee gives dramatic
account OF the episode. According to
the letter, when the Vigilancia put into
Havana the Spanish authorities de-
manded the surrender of Senior Angel
Fernandez, a Mexican on board the
vessel. The Spaniards alleged that
Fernandez was not Mexican, but a
subject of Spain. Capt. John McIn-
tosh of the Vigilancia refused to sur
| render Fernandez. Then the Spanish
authorities told Mcintosh that il the
Vigilancia attempted to go to sea with
Fernandez on board it would be sunk
by the guns of Moro Castle. Capt.
Mcintosh Immediately laid the matter
before Ccnsul-General Lee, who COM
plimented the Captain on his bravery
and told him to take the Vigilancia to
sea when he pleased.
Consul Lee was greatly enraged at
the threat to sink the Vigilancia, and
is reported to have said to Capt. McIn-
tosh:
IF the guns Of Moro Castle sink
your ship American warships will be
bombarding Havana in few days."
Capt. Mcintosh returned to the Wig
ilancia and Consul Lee informed Wey-
Ter that the vessel was going to sea and
| that il any attempt was made to take

fired upon Spain must take the conse-
quences. Weyler Immediately sum-
moned Cabinet council, and while this
council was considering the matter the
Vigilancia began to weigh anchor. The
Spanish officials on board protested,
but Capt Mcintosh said in vigorous
language, the letter states:
Oh your objections; my ship has
been cleared. My Consul has told me
to go to sea. I am going, and / dare
you to try to prevent me. Get off my
ship"
And with that the Yankee roughly
showed the Spaniards into the waiting
boats and the Vigilancia, flying the
Stars and Stripes, started for the mouth
of the harbor. which is commanded by
the guns of MORO Castle.
1t is said that Weyler is furious over
the departure of the vessel and Consul
General Lees course. 1t is stated Wey-
Ter ordered the commandant of Moro
to sink the Vigilancia, but that at the
last moment he yielded to the entreat-
les of his cabinet and countermanded
the order.
