The item referred to above, we will adj
nit, was very unfair one to Mr.. New
hall, If as he says, such were not the facts.
We never have, nor do we wish to do MIR.
Newhall or any other person any injus-
tice or injure his business prospects, all
we desire to do is to give the news and
try to confine ourselves to the facts in all
cases. Our informant was not the gentle
man he intimates i'm his communication,
but we fully supposed our information
came from a thoroughly reliable source.
1t was too late to correspond with Mr..
Newhall, SO we gave the item as above
and supposed it to be correct.

THE Widest LIONS.
Habits of the Manila ting King Of
Beasts-A Passion for
Carnage.

"When lions become man-eaters,
these inert and treacherous brutes take
no unnecessary trouble to catch men,
and while human beings are plentiful
none of them undertake perilous enter
frises or proceed on any haphazard ex.
petitions. They know what to do and
where to go in order that prey may be
procured with the least amount of risk
OF exertion. Such a lion is well aware of
Who tills this cornfield or that mealie
patch. He has informed himself of how
many men accompany the village herds,
where any outlying camps are situated,
and how they are guarded. There is no
route by which travellers proceed or
traffic is carried on. that such animals
have not studied with reference TO the
facilities for attack they afford and
their own bodily powers. If otherwise
good stategic positions present natural
difficulties, the lion not only considers
how these can be overcome, but, per-
haps, practices his part beforehand. At
all events, he has been watched while
engaged in exercises that can only be
explained in this way.
80 puny creature as man is, when
unprovided with effective implements
for offense, stands little chance against
such foe-an assailant having 40
times his own strength, backed by
marvellous activity and an intense pas
sion for carnage. Under these circum-
stances savages can only shut them
selves up, or assault their enemy in
large masses. On the other hand, those
precautions taken by a murderous lion
might not seem TO comport with that
bold and often reckless temper at
tributed to this species. But such dis
crepancy has no real existence; it only
appears when judgment is made with
out taking all the facts into considera-
ton. This animals intelligence, deyel-
oped in man-eaters to its highest point,
together with an organic stealthiness
of nature and proclivity toward unex-
pected attacks and stratagems, fully
accounts for everything lion does in
the way of guarding against failure
Outing.

encouraged.
Excuse me-" said the visitor OF Lis own

We'll, l suppose should, but I've
spent the summers in Yokohama and
Shanghai, and they don't make so
much difference up there"
II was a perfect night. The wind
had died down until there was scarce
]. ripple on the water and each par
ticular star was reflected in il. The
lights of Cavite, on our left, were fast
dropping astern; and, approaching
Corregidor island at the entrance of
the bay, about three o'clock, the noun
tains of the Piquito on the south head
with the Sierra de Msriveles on the
north rose like dark blue ghosts 1000
feet in the air. Corregidor itself stood
over 600 feet above high water, the
light on its summit filling the rocks
with grotesque shadows as we passed
close under it.
Halstead occasionally called my at
tention to some prominent point, but
he was too closely occupied in watch
ing the different bearings to talk very
much; and, although we didn't drop
the pilot until well phst Cape Santiago,
could see that my friend preferre i
to know himself just how his ship was
being navigated. After a six-o'clock
breakfast we turned in and slept un-
til noon. Then we went below and
sat down at our first meal with the
passengers, only four of whom spoke
our language, so that the conversation
was mostly carried on in rudimentary
Spanish.
