Will Attempt to Take
the Capital of the
Island.
Volunteers Enlisted by the
Government to Aid in
the Defense.
Over TWO Hundred Insurgents
Killed in the First Attack
Upon the City.

VICTORIA, B. c., June 1S.-Northern
Pacific steamer Braemar brings news that
the Chinese rebels in Formosa were pre-
pairing for a second attack upon Taipah,
the capital of Formosa, when the Brae-
mar left the other side. The Government
authorities had taken vigorous measures
to meet the attack and were enlistin g
numerous volunteers to aid the regular
troops stationed there. Anxiety is felt at
Taipah, particularly, because many of the
Hongs have stored in them large quanti-
ties of silver ready to ray for tea which is
beginning to come in from the country.
The latest dispatches received at Yoko-
hama state that armed soldiers were sta
toned nightly on the outskirts of Taipah,
and that the original estimates of 100
rebels killed during the engagement of
May were far too small. About 200
bodies have been recovered. Seventeen
Chinese were taken prisoners. These
will be given speedy trials, and, if found
guilty, will be executed, with the excep-
tion OF boy of Is, who Is the only one
who admitted his guilt. During that en-
gaGement the Japanese had three men
killed, one being military engineer, one
policeman and one gendarme.
attack on a much larger scale than the
first, and had been sending couriers
through the surrounding country to stir
up sympatbizers and enlist their aid
Tney apparently had plenty of arms,
despite the capture of large mum ber OF
Mauser rifles during the previous engage
ment.
The Hongkong Telegraph explains the
cause OF the rebellion as follows:
The 8th of May was the day fixed by the
japanese Government the time limit for
Chinese living in Formoss and for natives of
Formosa TO register themselves as japanese
subjects. It would, therefore, appear that.
although the Government notified by pToCla-
nation months ago that there was no
intention to interfere with the religious cere-
monies, habits and customs of the people, and
that they would not be deprived OF their
queues. this fresh rising is due TO some mis-
understanding to the motive of the
authorities in the island for causing the
natives TO register. 1t NAV, however have
been lnstigated by Chinese either resident in
the ISL nd or on the mainland of China, who
strongly object to the island becOmIn a por-
tion oil the japanese empire and who have the
means TO aid and abet q general rising of the
natives.

THE FATAL SHOT

the more stupendous it's leap will for a
moment believe that it ever feels COM
PEELED to land on its horns; and 1t is very
doubtful if ii ever has done so, even Dy
accident. To show the wonderful agil-
ity of the bighorn, it is not necessary tc
resort to any such theory 1t is wonder
full enough when it strikes fairly on Its
feet.
AS the sheep shot out from the hillside
again, as lightly as if it had gained an
other leg instead of losing one, my COM
panion's rifle again woke the echoes OF
the tumbling hills and the stiff neck
wilted in air, the big horns turned over,
and down it went among the rocks below
in a whirl of blue confusion. Then, IN
spite of the boulders whiZzing past his
head. he turned his rife on another
sheep, that some distance ahead was
scattering gravel down the slope, while
Iamused myself with another, that in the
rear of the band was skipping gayly
down the young avalanche the rest had
set in motion.
In all my field experience / had seen
nothing like this. l could hardly tell
the bounding sheep from the bounding
rocks for the latter were going so fast
they seemed to bound even higher than
the sheep. while the sheep seemed to
have their velocity accelerated in exact
ratio to the motion of the hillside down
which they were piunging. Vainly

something he was not used to, and he
fired so quickly that he almost seemed
to singe the white hair on the belly OF

a ball of rubber striking rubber cush
ion? Yet it did, with several compan-
ions, plunging after it at all distances
and boulders spinning and whizzins
around it as if half the hillside had taken
a notion to keep it company. Stories
have so often been told about the big
horn throwing itself over precipice and
landing on its horns that it is almost IN
indispensable part of an orthodox article
about this animal. There might be some
sense in the story if 1t were at all neces-
sary for the mountain sheep to do any
thing Of the kind. But the plain truth
is that when one falls dead a very short
fall is enough to ruin very nne palr

fwritten for the Herald.l }

The main chain of the Sierra Nevada
continues far into the Mexican terri
tory Of Lower California, spreading,
some two hundred miles below the
American line, into a broad and lofty
mountain named San Pedro Martir. On
the Pacific side this falls away in long
slopes and ridges with we'll watered val
leys between, but on the east 1t descends
with startling abruptness into the
worst of the deserts of North America.
On the sharp ridges that jut out into
this fiery furnace and overhang the
dreary waste between the foot of the
mountain and the Gulf of California the
mountain sheep or big horn, the tough
est and most springy legged of all ami
mails makes his home. One would lit
tie imagine that he can keep fat on such
a wild mass of rugged desolation as he
inhabits, but he does and so do deer and
antelope keep fat on those dry hot pla ms
below that glare in red and brown under
an almost eternal sun.
I was sitting one day on one of the
highest spurs of San Pedro looking out
upon the vast solitude below and the
blue waters of the gulf that shimmered
far off in haze where they merge IN
the shores of Sonora. The white rock
that forty miles away rises from the sur
face, looking like monster sloop with
all sail set only adds to the impression
of solitude for there are on earth no
wilder waters and year after year goes
around yet no sail whitens them.
While gazing on the solemn scene
saw something move on ridge about
half a mile in front of me ard some
five hundred feet below. I fancied l
saw the sunlight flash from huge horns
curling backward over the ears and

and sent the empty shells hot and whiz-
zing over my head with its rapid motion.
The game only went the faster as the
balls Kissed over the deep gulch beyond
or flew into whistling sprays OF LEAD
against their solid sides and soon it was
so nearly in line with my companion
that l had to stop shooting and leave
the rest to him. He knew from my
shooting that more game was coming
and turned his attention to it, Looking
above the cliff as if expecting another
dispensation from the sky he stood ready
but the first sheep that cleared the hill
side was beyond him and compelled him
to wheel just as whiZZine boulder came
bounding over the cliff. To my aston
ishment he fired at the sheep first and
turned to dodge the rock afterward. But
he might as well have reversed the pro-
cess for the sheep bounced from the next
pile of rocks below like feather driven
before the whirlwind, and before he
could turn his rife again upon 1t the
yawning abyss closed over it. Down
came another in its place so fast that
he had no time to think but it came be-
tween me ard him. The ball hissed
above my head and sang In splashinG
mist from the rocks above but the big
gulf swallowed this big-horn with
beamy pelt intact as easily as the last
one. But before the echo came back
from the rugged NILS anOtner sheep was
bounding high over the cliff apparent
IL above my companions head. The fire
leaped upward at it but the legs never
quivered and the big head with eyes
fixed on the great chasm below never
bowed, but down went the whole COM
bination in a graceful curve landing
some fifty feet down the hill to bound
off again more lightly than the bullet
that tipped the smooth boulder behind
it as it rose. And along with it van
ished four more sheep with a choice
lot of real estate and scenery going
down the declivity with a roar that
rather made me feel glad the play was
over. T. S. VAN DYKE.
