Incendiarism.

There was a blaze early this
morning at Robello Lane which may
cost Mr.. g. w. @. Jones valuable
mare, besides his brake and lot of
rice straw.
1t was nearly | o'clock a. m. when
the fire broke out and was noticed
by Mr.. Jones and his sons. The rice
straw in the carriage house and
stable was afame but before the
main building on the premises was
injured the fire was put out by the
use of garden hoses.
The mare was severely injured
and Mr.. Jones did not entertain any
hopes for her recovery. The Fire
Department was not called in. 1t
is the belief of Mr.. Jones that the
fire was work OF an incendiary, and
the clue has been given to the po-
lice which may lead to fhe appre-
hension OF the culprit.

The Wars Death Rell.

WARRINGTON, Sept. THE official
records of the War Department, as
completed, show that there were
thirty-three officers and 231 enlisted
men OF the army, 264 in all, killed
in battle during the war with Spain.
These casualties include all the lives
lost by the army in the battles in
the Philippines, as we'll as those in
Cuba and Porto Rico.
The percentage of officers killed
is strikingly large, and is said to be
unprecedented in the battles OF the
world. The contrast is especially
stiking in the case of the battle Of
Omdurman, where, although the
loss of life was heavy, the list of
killed included only one officer of
the British army.

ARMS FOR FILIPINOS.

stories regarding the supplying of arms
to the Filipinos by the German Gov

The Post published an interview

he is in a position to tell the full story,
for the reason that he is financially in
terested in the plot, and has actually
been a party to the scheme. He says
that he is interested in the German
Philippine trade to the extent of nearly
million dollars, and that for fifteen
years Germany has been working
among the insurgents for her own ben
eft, and he also told the Post" that
there never would have been revolil-
ton had it not been for the German
Government
Continuing, he said: ''The arms that
have been supplied came from the I'M

through the trading companies in whic h
| am interested, so as to conceal the
German hand. The arms that are now
