Excursion Steamer Wrecked.

Southampton, March 3l.-The passenger steamer Stella, plying be- tween this port and the Channel is- lands, crashed upon the dreaded Casguet rocks, near the Island of Alderny yesterday afternoon in 8 dense fog and foundered in ten min ules, her boilers exploding with 6 tremendous report as she went down. In spite of this it is said there was no panic on board. The coasting steamer Lynx, which brought the news of the disaster here, picked up four boats and forty persons. IL is estimated l20 persons were drowned. The second officer of the steamer, who was among those rescued, says that collapsible boat was launched, full of people, but he thinks she struck on the rocks owing to the fog. Another steamer picked up a boat containing forty-6ye persons, in cluding twenty women, who escaped from the wrecked steamer. They have been landed here. The Stella had on board 2l0 ssse0gers, who were going to spend Easter at the Channel islands The last thing the survivors saw the figure of the cap tain of the Stella standing calmly on the bridge and giving his last in- structions. The captain perished with his vessel.

Manila. March 29.--The country between Marilso: and Manila pre- sents a picture of desolstion. The smoke is curling ifrom hundreds of ash heaps and the remains of trees and fences torn by shrspnel are to be seen everywhere. The general appearance of the country is as if swept by 8 cyclone. The roads are strewn with furniture and clothing dropped in their flight by the Flip inos. The only persons remaining behind are a few aged persons too infrm to escape. They camp be- side the ruins of their former homes and beg the passers by for any kind of assistance. The majority of them are living on the generosity of our soldiers, who give them portions of their rations. The dogs of the Fil- ipinos cover in the bushes still ter ri6ed and barking. while hundreds of pigs are to be seen busily search ing for food.

PREHISTORIC ARlzosAns.
Some Re1arka6Is Discoveries Made in the Vicinity Of the
 Verde Valley.

John Love. the well kpoxn searcher Tor prehistoric relicS has oeen at work again this spring over ln the Verde country near R1dolph Millsrd's place. h exeavating into the mountain side he encountered a stone Uall, a genuine masonry wall A niche had been cut iato the si,Ie of the mountain and this wall built ln front of It. It contained an or,an- Ing over which was . thin stone slab. The walls of the chamber, cut out oi the rock. were plastered aud the ehamoe itself contained three mum mies well preserved. They were np- parentiy those of ehildren. thonTb some who saw them coafended tkae thsf were thOAN og groEn persons belonging tO a pigmy race. The smallest of them seemed to disprove this theory and confirm the belief that they were children, as she teeth had just commenced to push through the gums of the jaws A cotton blanket vas found wrapped about them. this being also in an excellent state of preservation. and anlike most articles of this kind tound in this way did not crumble when exposed to the aiT. Tue DOT tion of this blanket, which was b,.- tween the bodies and the c,rouud noor of the chamber, was rotten. but the remainder was in tact and auits strong. 4 string of beads thirtv-six inches long, was also found with the bodies, bat the string crumhled when picked up. allowing the beads 10 iall Co the ground.
 The chamber in which this 5ad vas made seemed to be perfectly air tight, the plastered walls. the solid walls of masonry all being hermet- lcAlly sealed by means of the siah. having precluded the entrance of any ar to the resting place of the dead.
 Mir. Love has found some of the most wonderful specimens of pre- historic nature there ever discovered in the territory. One of the largest spear heads if not the largest, ever found in the territory, was discoV- cred by him. Other articles of un- usual value were also discovered, and these, together with the finding ot this walled chamber and it's con tents, leads 10 the belief that at this point was the residence of some great chief or king, as the ordinary burylng places of the prehistoric people were not hewn out of the mountain and enclosed with air tight walls
 What q find 1t would prove and how 1t would lift the veil of mystery which surrounds these ancient ruins If some historical tablet coald be found. With all the discoveries yet made the history of these people and the age in which they lived, are mat teFs of mere conjecture and theory. Nothing whatever has been discov- cred to definitely outline their char acteE or the period of the worlds history m ~h, h they occupied this country.
