Manila, Sept. 4, via San Francisco,
Oct. 10.-The army in Luzon has lost
more men during the past fortnight
by drowning than by bullets. ALI the
little streams. which in dry weather
were mere creeks, have become swift,
wide rivers with unexpected and
treacherOus currents and eddies. Ten
colored soldiers of the Twenty fourth
infantry were drowned at the Mari
quina river on the 22d of August in a
drift exactly duplicating the loss of
five soldiers in the Pasig river three
months ago. Soldiers are conveyed
across streams on bamboo RATS, whose
motive power. is a rope stretched be-
tween the banks. In both cases the
ropes broke, the RATS were overturned
and part of the soldiers, weighted down
with guns, haversacks and heavy am
munition belts. were unable to reach
the shore. Private j. E. Poole, of the
Twenty-eighth, lost his life in attempt
ing to rescue his comrades. The last
of the bodies of the ten soldiers were
recovered from the river this week and

fight the principal bull made straight
dash for the railing around the
arena. which gave way. The bull
then flew at the helpless people and
panic ensued. Men and women were
trampled. The shrieks and cries of the
wounded aroused the neighboring
gendarmerie and soldiers and police
rushed to the rescue and had the place
occupied in military fashion. Plea
dores, matadors and gendarmes pur-
sued the bull with revolvers and car
bines and finally captured the animal.
The project issued an order to suspend
the fights in the future until the proper
protection is guaranteed the audience.

GENERAL WILSON'S PROPOSITION
(From the Savannah News.)
1t Is said that General Wilson, the
Military Governor of the Province of
MatanZas. wants the government to
advance to Cuban farmers about 500
each. to enable them to purchase seed,
stock and implements with which 20
begin farming. The report is ;nat they
arr unable to make any use OF the land
which they own or rent.
General Wilson's scheme is n very
benevolent one, and shows the goodness
CT his heart, but we feel safe in saying
that it wouldn't be popular in this
country. however popular 1t may be in
Cuba. There are too many men in
every State in the Union who would
like to borrow $500 from the govern
ment on just about such security ms the
Cuban farmers have To offer to permit
OF the scheme meeting with sufficient
approval to insure It's success.
There is a growing impression that
we have already spent about as much
money in helping the Cubans rs we
can afford to. In Cuba and the Phil
ippines we have. up to date, spent about
$3.50. 10000 and the American people
are being taxed TO pay the interest on
