Eighteen Carried Away or Slain by
Philippine Rebels.
The papal delegate at Washington,
Archbishop Martinelli, has received dis
couraging news from his vicar general,
Roderiquez. in Rome. regarding the rebel
lion in the Philippine Islands. In an in
terriew Mgr. Martinelli discussed the sit
uation in both the Philippine Islands and
in Cuba with considerable freedom. Our
order is very strong here" said the Arch
bishop. ''as we have several bishops ana
$50 priests scattered all through the prov
inccs. 1t was too much to expect that all
of them had escaped. and the news l re-
ceivcd is bad. | have two letters from
my vicar general. and he informs me that
five Augustinian priests in parishes about
Manila have been carried off by the
rebels. and no news whatever has been re-
ceived from them. In the absence OF IN
formation we believe that they are dead.
Thirteen Dominican priests were also
either carried away or slain by the rebels
and those who were taken off were after
ward killed: so we suppose the same tate
has befallen the members of our order.
The rebellion in the Philippines is likely
TO prove most horrible affair. as the ma
tives are only semi-civilized. Spain, too,
is handicapped to some extent by the tact
that she maintains on the island only
scattered army of about four thousand
men. Spain will have difficult task to
subdue the half-barbarous people of the

likely that for seme time the equipment
of every Chicago school boy and girl will
include, besides the time-honored bag and
lunch box. water bottle or two, sluns
over the shoulder and containing boiled
water brought from home. Some of the
principals anticipate much annoyance or
account of the lack of water. Others
think it will not occasion any inconven
ience, believing the children will learn al
once that they must quench their thirst
before leaving their homes. 1t is not
likely that the schools will be deprived ol
water for any length of time. The mem
bers of the board will doubtless get to-

At Corn Island and its Notifications
100 men are now clearing lands TO extend
the Notifications. The Nicaraguans have
500 pounds of dynamite and ten electric
batteries. Mr. Donaldson, formerly
United States army engineer, located the
dynamite mines and Notifications and
then left the island for Managua. Thus

contest every foot. Gen. Reyes says "the

The little steamer Lucy B., owned by
Herbert Y. Bingham, the British consul

the Nicaraguan Government for an IN

should result in an actual collision the
Lucy B. may be blown to pieces by the
Colombian man-of-war-a risk which the
owners seem willing to take. From
sources that may be considered trust

really the first right to Corn Island, but

f. S. Cramp Has a Scheme Which
Will Benefit the Farmers.
Edwin S. Cramp, the millionaire ship
builder of Philadelphia, is now interested
especially in the production of padding
for warships and fodder for cattle from
cornstalks. Thanksgiving Day last Ed
win S. Cramp was granted a patent for
the new invention he bought from the in
ventor. Experiments have been made
in the East for six or seven months and in
every case they have been very success
full. Now the scheme is tP be introduced
in the West. and next year considera-
bic portion of the cornstalk crop of Hi
nois and Iowa is to be bought from the
farmers and used in making both the fod-
der and the ship padding. The British
Government has become interested in the
new discovery of the Cramps. If it is
pleased with the results of its investiga-
tion and decides to adopt the invention If
will mean that large additional demand
will be created. and, of course, the corn
raisers will be the beneficiaries. The pro-
cess for manufacturing the two things
cattle food and ship padding-is simple.
as explained by Mr.. Cramp. 1t consists
in separating thepith from the outer stalk
and grinding each. The outer portion of
the stalk is converted into coffer-dam, as
the article used in the ships is called. The
pith when ground and prepared is the
food for cattle. A factory is to be estab'
lished at Rockford, III.

Raised to AHunnce,

Charles Camp, little crippled lad who
from his invalid chair sells papers at the
junction of Madison street. Ashland and
Ogden avenues, Chicago, and whose
bright face has been familiar to frequent
ers of that locality for the last four years,
has fallen heir to property the value of
which is estimated at $4,000. 1t was be-
queathed to him by his father, who died
eighteen months ago at Spokane, Wash.
The estate consists of Il farm and valua-
bic improvements. The possession of a
sum of money many times greater than
most men are able to acquire in lifetime
of frugality and industry is scarce COM
pensation to Charlie" whose short ca
reer has been terribly blighted by the loss
of both his lower limbs, the result of Il
street car accident. The unfortunate lad,
through his mother, was awarded dam
ages in the amount of $4,000, the iarS-
est judgment of its kind ever granted in
Chicago. The case was afterward ap-
pealed by the street railway company,
who finally settled with Mrs. Camp for
$4,000, of which her attorneys succeeded
in grabbing S5.700. Judicially separated
from her husband. with heavy incum-
brances on her property, Mrs. Camp was
forced to rely on the precarious earnings
of small cigar store and news stand.
Young Charlie. as soon as his af1liction
permitted, was regularly wheeled by VIII
lie Adams. waif whom Mrs. Camp had
befriended and who now shares i'll the
family's good fortune, to Madison street
and Ashland avenue, where the sturdy
little cripple offered newspapers for sale.
Three weeks ago the news of the family S
good fortune came. For over a year the
executors of Matthias Camp, from whom
Mrs. Camp obtained n divorce in 1856
and who died in Spokane in June. 1893
have diligently sought tidings of his heir
young Camp. Mrs. Camp, with Charlie
and his faithful attendant, Willie Ad'
ans, will leave for Spokane next month
where they will permanently reside.
