Az AMATEUR PIRATE.
Mai. Stedie nOnnet Turned from Farm
ing : FreeHoS'iIs e'. a,. and Became

Early in the eighteenth century there
lived at Bridgetowu, in the island Of
Barbados, a very pleasant, middle-aged
gentleman named Maj. Stede Bonnet.
lie was a man in comfortable circum-
stances and had been an officer in the
British army. lie had retired from mil
itary service, and had bought an estate
at Bridgetown, where he lived in com
fort and was respected by his neigh
bors.
Z But for some reason or other this
quiet and reputable gentleman got il
into his head that he should Ike TO be
pirate. But besides the general rea-
sons why Mai. Bonnet should not be-
come a pirate, and which applied to all
men as well as to himself, there was
special reason against his adoption OF
the profession of sea robber-he was
an out-aud-out andsman and knew
nothing whatever of nautical matters
He was fond of history and well read in
the literature of the day. He was ac-
customed TO the habits Of good society,
and knew a good deal about farming
and horses and COWS and poultry.
But Notwithstanding his absolute I'M
fitness for such a life, Maj. Bonnet was
determined to become a pirate, and he
became one. He had enough money to
buy a ship and to fit her out and man
her, and this he quietly did at Bridge
town, nobody supposing that he was
going 10 do anything more than start
off on some commercial, cruise. When
everything was ready his vessel slipped
out of the harbor one night, and after
be was sailing safely on the rolling sea
he stood upon the quarter deck and pro-
claimed himself pirate. He ran up
the black flag, girGed on great cut
lass, and folding his arms be ordered
his mate to steer the vessel to the coast
OF Virginia.
Bonnets men were practiced seamen,
and so when this green hand came
into the waters OF Virginia be actually
took two or three vessels and robbed
( them Of their cargoes, burning the ships
"qnd sending the crews ashore.
AThis had grown 10 be common Gus

The conclusions drawn by war de
partment officials concerning the CON
dition in the Philippines given in the
dispatch of Gen. Otis are that the in
surgents are little more than maraud-
ing bands which will continually de-
crease when the men find that there is
life and liberty under American gov
ernment. The people who are coming
into the American lines asking protec.
tion are considered like those who
sought protection in the forts during
the early stages of American develop
ment in the west. Nothing is yet said
as To the intention of Gen. Otis to con-
tinue active hostilities, but this is
matter that will be left wholly in his
discretion and he will no doubt fight
or rest as the circumstances determine.

the wish of the president that all ar

turning troops a comfortable voyage
and that the best of care be taken so
that no sickness may break out among
them. 1t is also said that precautions

AGUINALDo DECLARES HIMSELF DICTAroR
Manila, June 9.-lt is reported that
/ Aguinaldo has dissolved the Filipino
congress and declared himself Dictator.
/ The report is credited by the Fi)ipihos
here in Manila. The efficiency of the
/ insurgent secret service has caused
Gen. Lawton to adopt new tactics in

cruel and hard hearted, had not the
inducements of the old buccaneers to
torture and murder the crews of the

As Bonnet wished to adopt the Gus
