NATIONAL PARKS.
Stock Will No Longer be Allowed
to Craze Upon Them.

WASHINGTON, Aug 12-The Sec
retary Of the Interior has received q
report from Acting Superintendent Sc
Willy. stationed in California, to pro-
| tect the national parks from trespass-
ing shepherds. Mr.. Sevilly has finished
portion of the work, and Troop A,
Utah Cavalry, has been detailed to pa
troll the parks. He says that 120 600
sheep have been elected, fifty-five bands
in all, from Yosemite Park, and it is
thought that the work has been as sue
cessful in the General Grant and Sc
quota Parks. The herds had been so
long in Yosemite Park that nearly all
the grass and other forage had been
destroyed
Some confusion exists in California in
regard to the action, and it is the in
tention of the Interior Department that
it be distinctly understood that no ami
NAL in any case will be permitted to
Craze upon the public reservations, and
that all measures necessary will be
taken to keep the parks free from them
Only those persons who have patented
lands Will be permitted to Craze cattle
and before this is allowed the metes and
bounds of the patented lands must be
definitely ascertained and marked
This rule has been made necessary by
the fact that a number of persons own
or lease a small tract of patented land
in the vicinity Of the parks. and while
pretending to Craze their sheep and
cattle upon 1t. make no effort
whatever to prevent them from tres
passing upon the reservations. No ac-
ton has been taken against the persons
elected, but Mr.. Sevilly says that he
will be ready to supply witnesses if it
is decided to prosecute them.

Where a Horse Beats Il Motor Car

A Deyonshire farmer has found out
a serious drawback to motor cars
they can't fnd their way home at
night A horse will find it's way, even
though it's rider is not quite in con-
dition to direct it's movements with un-
erring precision; but there is no in
stinct in a motor car which Will en-
able it to run its course home, safe
and sound. Even now this would pre-
vent the motor car being universally
adopted IN Devonshire or anywhere
else. but this reliance on his horse is
typical more of the farmer of thirty
or fifty years ago than it is of the
farmer OF to-day There were many
towns then in which the easier thing
was to count the number of the farmers
who went home sober. Nowadays it
would be an infinitely smaller calcula-
ton to do the other thing. May be
the motor car will some time be en-
dowed with the same sort Of adapta-
bility to circumstances that IL. G. Wells
gives to his handling" machines. But
if not, perhaps fifty years hence q
farmer who rides home on horse will
thereby proclaim himself unwilling Cor
unfit to trust his neck to the tender
mercies of a motor .car.-Westminster

CRITICISMS OF SKATER.

ter from General Joe Wheeler to-day,
dated Santiago de Cuba. July -, 1S.IS,
in which General Wheeler says, refer
ring TO newspaper reports concerning
General Shafter:
Il think the criticisms upon General
Shafter were very unjust. He has had
a hard task and he performed it sue
cessfully and well. He is man of
more than ordinary brain power and
administrative ability. The criticism
that he did not place himself on the
firing line, is ridiculous, as on July lst
he was carrying on two fights at Ole
time-one at Caney and one at San
Juan. He had some reserves. and had
TO place himself where he could See
both fights and manage the whole af
fair, which he did effectively. With

ORIENTAL ADVICES.
Inhabitants Of Wuchow, China, In
a State of Terror.

TACOMA Aug 12-The Oriental
steamer Victoria, arriving here to-day,
brings the following Oriental advices:
The inhabitants of Wuchow are in \
state of terror over the uprising in
Southern China, and are sending their
women away with valuables. The reb-
els have defeated the imperial troops,
infiicting heavy losses, placed in some
quarters as high as 1,500 The chiefs
of the rebellion proclaim that they are
freeing the people fror~ the Manchu
dynasty, which has ru1eo over them for
upward of 25O years. The rebels ex-
pect to form an alliance with the Black
Flag chief.
Several versions of the trouble are
given, a Chinese version being that in
one of the villages of the Yung district,
where one-third of the populace We're
Catholics and the others pagans, the
Catholics attempted to convert the an
cestral hall of the village into a Cath
olic church. The pagans objected. and
a fight ensued, in which the Christians
were Worsted. The native magistrate,
named kom, sided with the Catholics
TO avoid foreign complications. He was
seized by the opposition, carried into
the mountains and murdered. This
was the signal for a general outbreak.
Another version gives the cause as an
attempt by an official to mulct a phil
anthropist who had donated supplies to
the poor. The officials action enraged
the people.
All accounts agree that the trouble is
very serious.
An Englishman who recently visited
the rebel campS near CaVite saws the
rebels are il-treating Spanish prison
ers. They are said to be fed on nothing
but rice and water and were starving
The Englishman says he and his party
threw them food and cigarettes, which
were fought for as wild beasts scram-
