flLlPiNOS WANTED FIGHT.
They Tried In Many Ways to Provoke an
Outbreak ut Manila.

Hong Kong, Feb. S.-Leading up II
the hostiities which began at Manila
on Saturday evening, the conduct OF
the FiliDinos around that city toward
abe Americans had recently been most
exasperating, the actions of the ma
tives evidently being intended to pro
woke the Americans to commit some
avert act. These annoyances were so
numerous that it is difficult to believe
they were not sanctioned by the Fill
pino leaders.
Sergeant Fischer and four engineers
while making a reconnaissance on last
Wednesday, north of Manila, within
ahe American lines, were seized by the
insurgents and conveyed to Malalos
where they were imprisoned On the
next day General Otis sent Lieutenant
Hahn to demand their release. The
lieutenant was arrested on the way
and taken from tohe train by the Fill
plnos. He protested against the action
Of the insurgents and was finally al
lowed to proceed under escort.
After presenting his demand to the
Filipino government at Malalos for the
a special cabinet meeting was held,
which lasted three hours. After the
adjournment of the meeting the men
were released, having been imprisoned
for thrty-six hours with nothing to eat
but cup of rice and what they were
able to buy with seven cents, all the
money they had with them.
Three other American soldiers were
nd 10
ported that they are to be court mar
tailed by the Filipinos at Malalos. a
sentry outpost of the First Montana
infantry was fired upon twice last
Wednesday night. In addition to these
acts many Americans have been re-
Gently robbed. General Barry's horses
and carriages were stolen and several
other Americans lost valuable prop
erty.
Hundreds of savage tribesmen from
the north armed with knives and bows
and arrows have reinforced the insur-
gents along the line of the railroad.
The Americans are keeping a sharp
lookout for nlibusters. A small sailing
vessel was recently seized in Manila
bay and the crew was put under ar
rest. Other boats are believed to be
on their way to the island of Luzon
from various islands.
The insurgents at Iloilo boast that
they have won their independence and
have established a civil government,
making the military authority subor-
dinate thereto.

PUT HIM IN PICKLE.
A Singular "Rheumaiism Cure" That Nearly
Killed Wilkes. Barre victim.

A novel case was heard before
Squire Harrigan at Wllkesbarre last
Thursday. Peter Coke was the prose
cutor and one Dr. Stanley Weise the
defendant. The latter was charged
practlcing medicine illegally.
Coke said he paid Weise $40 to
cure him of rheumatism. Weise put
Coke in barrel, made him sit there
on bucket, with the water up to his
neck. Then the doctor put in three
hot bricks for the patients feet, then
poured in a peck of sand and picked
the parboiled patient with two quarts
of salt and seasoned him with a MKT
ure consisting of vinegar mixed with
salt
Weise kept Coke in the picking
process from 7 to 8 O'Clock, standing
beside the barrel, the whole time wip-
ing the prespiration from the swelter-
ing patients face and telling him the
cure was progressing nicely. Coke
nearly lost his life by the operation.
In default of bail Weise was com
mitted to jail.

WHEAT DAMAGED.
Cumberland Valley Farmers Fear the Raw.
ages OF Pest

Farmers in the southern part of
Cumberland Valley, are good deal
worried about the appearance of their
wheat, and how it will come out in
the spring. Before the cold weather
came and snow fell they noticed that
spots here and there were entirely bare.
One farmer thought it was the fault Of
his drill, and reproved his tenant. On
going to the spots they found the
young stalks eaten off closely, and by
examining with glass, discovered the
cause of the trouble, an almost in
fnitesmal white worm. The crop in
these spots will be total failure.
What the farmers are worrying
about now is whether or not the little
pest has been work during the winter.
They await the coming of spring with
considerable anxiety.
