CRUELTY OF THE HINDOOS.
Travellers Tales of the Hcnrticss
Treatment of Tigers Are Al
most Unbelievable.

The correspondent who sends the fol-
his information came to him on unim-
peachable authority. During n royal
hunt in one of the Rajpoot states an ex-
ceptionally fine tiger was caught
nctted, no doubt-and lured into q
cage; his captors then proceeded to
moose his feet and draw them through
holes bored in the floor of the cage, and
n blacksmith was directed to draw his
claws. The tigers legs having been Sc
cured by ropes, the royal sportsmen
had n sliding door in the cage opened,
and when the captive put his head out
they shut the door down on his neck,
while the blacksmith, with mallet and
chisel, broke off his teeth; preparations
were concluded by muzzlng the poor
brute with strong wire in some inhu-
man fashion. The tiger was then re-
leased, to be baited by dogs, and de-
spite his MANNED condition, he killed
several dogs before the "sportsmen"
wearied of the game and shot him.
IL this story is true, and the informa-
ton is said to have come from an eye
witness-and there is nothing impossi
BILE in the crippling part of the business
-one would dearly like to take each Of
these rajpoot royalties in turn and read
him a lessen with n cutting whip. Ma
tives have singular ideas concerning the
use of Gagged tigers. At the end of
street in Jeypoor, one of the finest and
most advanced of cities, under PRO
tected" native rule, they kept ten years
ago a number of tigers in small cages.
When a European visitor approached,
the keeper Immediately appeared from
his house close by, salaamed profound
ly, and proceeded first to spit on his
charges and then to stir them up with
an iron rod kept for the purpose. When
the savage roaring this treatment nat
urally produced died away that keeper
salaamed more profoundly and held out
his hand. If bakshish was not prompt
ly forthcoming, he said that, sowing
to fear of the presence, these sons and
daughters of dogs do not roar their
loudest," and spat and stirred again.

HAUNTED BY MEMORY.
The Interesting Account of One Man
Who VIII Never Forget the
samoan Disaster.

81 suppose that all OF us who felt the
living, frenzied force of that awful on
shore hurricane will dream about it oc-
casionally as long as we live" said an
ex-blue jacket of the United States
navy, now living at Washington, who
was among the Vandalia's ships COM
pany at the time of the great naval
disaster in Apia harbor, Samoa, in re-
verting to that experience. For three
CT four years after l got out of that
mess all safe and sound, the memory
of it used to get tangled up in my head
when l was asleep, and would wake IA
tremble and be unable to sleep for
the remainder of the night. But time
has softened the craggier edges of the
remembrance of that horrifying black
wind, and once in spell nowadays
forget all about it for two or three days
at time. 1t all came back to me
with heavy force when the Maine went
up in the air with lot of my ship
mates, though.
"There was one man in my mess on
the Vandnlia who was never quite right
after we went on the reef. was ship
mate With him for two years afterward,
and his occasional wildness was plain
to all hands, and men who've been ship
mates with him since-for he's still in
the outft-tell me that he's just as
badly haunted by the memory of the
disaster as he was when last / saw him.
This man was shipwright, and his
name was Turley. Before we had that
bad blow Turley was as cheerful and
as clipper man around decks as ever
snapped yarns with; but when he got
he was n changed man. l never saw
him crack grin after the blow, and
from stout. husky fellow he became
thin and haggard-lool1ing. He recov-
cred all right physically from the thing,
you see, but it sort of twisted his head
and preyed upon him. He swung his
hammock alongside of me on the Alert
for two years after we were sent up
to duty on the west coast again, and
it was common thing for Turley to
hop out of his hammock in n frenzy
in the middle of the night, in port or at
sea, yelling like n mailman, All hands
abandon ship-she's going to strike!'
He created lot of excitement up for
ward by doing this, but after awhile
the men got used to it and only turned
over when they heard Turley bowling.
1T was the regular thing for the cor
poral of the marine guard at the gang
way to prod the poor chap awake when
he had these crazy @omnambulistic
spells and put him back in his ham,
mock, for he'd come out of them rs
weak as kitten and trembling all over.
There were n number of us on the
Alert who were washed up in the
Samoan disaster, and, naturally, once
in awhile we'd get to talking about it.
But it didn't take us long to find out
that we couldn't talk about it while
Turley was around. The mention of
the thing in his hearing would bring
an insane CLEAN into his eyes and he
would suddenly begin to talk inco-
herently and at the top of his voice
about reefs and dragging anchors and
all that, SO that we learned to knock off
Samoan hurricane talk when he was
around. ! don't wonder much, either.
1t was an evil enough blow to nigh turn
any mans hcadgear topsyturvy."-

considerable number Of natives has
failed to disclose the existence of any
rerceptible anti American feeling

cipal desire is for a peaceful existence,
with the minimum Of trouble. They,
however, earnestly wish the abolition
Of oppression incident to Spanish Of
fetal rapacity and the tyranny Of the
religious bodies. The natives have no
objection to the church apart from
the orders of friars. The Filipinos are
scarcely interested in any particular
form of government, but only desire
to be left alone.
