Urdaneta, One of the Small Craft

MANILA, Sept. $3.50 p. m.-The
insurgents have captured the United
States gunboat Urdaneta in the Orani
river, on the northwest side of Manila
bay, where she was patrolling. One
officer and nine of her crew are miss
ing.
The United States gunboat Petrol,
sent to investigate the matter, has re-
turned and reported that the Urdaneta
beached opposite the town of Orani, on
the Orani river. She was riddled with
bullets and burned, and the following
guns. with their ammunition, were
captured:
A 1-pounder, one Colt automatic gun
and one Nordenfeldt 25-millimetre gun.
The crew of the Urdaneta are prison.
ers or have been killed. Further de-
tails are lacking.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The gunboat
Urdaneta, which was captured with
her crew at Orani, about % miles from
Manila, on the bay of Manila, is little
craft of only 40 tons displacement, not
much larger than small tug. She was
captured by the navy early in the war
and has been on police duty in the bay
for months past. The records of the
navy department show that she was one
of the boats Of which the Oregon is the
parent ship. That is. she was supposed
to draw all of her supplies from the
battleship, to be manned from the Ore
CONS crew, and to act under the in
structions of the Oregon's commander.
According to last reports to the depart
ment the little boat was last May under
the command of Naval Cadet Welborne
G. Wood, but the personnel of the crew
is not matter Of record, being subject
to frequent change. Wood was appoint
ed to the naval academy from Oregon,
had passed his academic course and was
performing two years sea service at the
time Of his capture. Naturally the de-
partment officials are vexed that the
difficulties of the negotiations looking
to the release Of Lieutenant Gilmore of
the Yorktown and his men should be
added to by this last misfortune. Still
there is no disposition unnecessarily to
curb the Junior officers Of the navy who
are rendering such gallant services Ia

IT IS NEVER TO LATE TO MEND.

This monogram is very appropri-
ate to the inmates Of this insti-
tuition, and it is something that
has a much wider scope than a
person would recognize. In it is
the hand writing of Almighty
God. In it is the evidence that
Christ came and finished His
work, and that the satisfaction
of His oblation once offered was
full and complete, and that unto
all sinners it could be for ever
said, that it is never to late to
mend.
When we first entered upon
our duty as the new editor, we
were told that the inmates wanted
nothing in the paper but Yellow
Kid, funny jokes and hard sayings,
that nobody believed in God, and
that sunday school was not wanted,
anything of a socialist order, any
thing opposed to Law and order,
anything that would advocate the
levelling of all classes, and a
general free distribution of other
peoples money among the masses,
would be alright. That the paper
was convicts paper, and it must

and if used according to scientific
knowledge, then their use is ad.
missible and proper, not until we
fall astray and abuse the gifts
which kind and benefcient Crea.
tor has bestowed upon us, do we
err.
There is nothing more noticeable
among the disputed articles, than
alcohol, and since we mostly have
our own ideas of the use of various
stimulus, some claiming it to be
good, and others claiming it to be
bad, we will look into the subject
upon nonpartisan lines and analyze
its qualities.
The source of alcohol is the
fermentation Of sugar or Other
saccharine matter. Sugar is the
produce Of the vegetable world.
Some plants contain free sugar
and others contain starch, which
can be converted into sugar. AL
cohol is therefore made from those
plants containing the largest pro-
portion of either sugar or starch.
Alcohol having a great attraction
for water it is almost impossible
to obtain it in a pure form. Com
mon spirits such as brandy OF
whiskey contains only about fifty
per cent of alcohol.
Alcohol boils at 173 degrees
and has not been frozen by any
cold hitherto produced. In 1OC
pounds of alcohol about So are
carbon, Ii hydrogen, and 81 OK
ygen.
Dilute alcohol in contact with
animal at temperature of from
60 to 80 degrees undergoes acetic
fermentation, and this change is
supposed to take place in the
stomach, but it is in most part
rapidly absorbed in an unchanged
state, either in form Of liquid or
vapor; and this absorption may
take place through the cellular
or connective tissue, the serious
cavities, the lungs, or the digestive
canal.
Almost the whole of this alb
sorption in man takes place in the
stomach, and from thence it seems
to stay for a time in the blood.
It has a direct and primary
action on the nervous centers,
whose functions it modifes, per-
verts or abolishes, that it accumu-
lates in the nervous centers and in
the liver, and must be finally dis
charged by the ordinary channels
of elimination.
If a poisonous dose of alcohol
is given to an animal it's action on
the nervous system is the first
point that is notified, the general
sensibility becomes more or less
abolished and the animal can no
longer see or feel.
The term Alcoholism applies to
such cases as may be termed excess

over bold as to assert that they
know more than others who have
bought with the price the bitter
experience which alone comes from
experience.
The British Empire in India,
gives us an subject lesson, that it
will be we'll for us to emulate so
far as our constitution will allow
US to do, and we find that England
has already given that country a.
railroad system of 10000 miles in
length. They have instituted ex-
tensive irrigation systems, and
have established magnificent
water works in all of the large.
and important towns. The cotton
mills alone employ not less than
10000 working men, and COM
MERGE is encouraged.
In the municipalities we find
popular form of government, CIV
ing the franchise to all pesons who
may be possessed of some property.
even this freedom is given to
women, and when we, as observers;
look on and see how the natives
have exercised pivilege we must
admit that the English rule is a.
fair success.
Moreover the municipal bodies,.
elect members for the provincial
legislature. Then there is what
they call the National Congress-,
which is one of the most wonder
full gatherings to be found in all
the world. It consists of over
5000 native gentlemen, from all
tribes and babel of tongues, but
their deliberations are all con-
Quoted in the Queens English.
Is not this an object lesson?
Since we do not expect our ex-
ecutive to be able to accomplish
colossal work in a few days or
weeks. But if the object lesson
be carried in mind, then we find
that England is not overly selfish
in the distribution of Offices. We
are told that there are 114,15O
government appointments, and
that the average salary is 1000
rupees to each Office holder per
anum and to the credit of English
rule. Be it shown that 81 per
cent of these Offices are in the
hands of the natives, which every
one of these offices should be-
applied to English subjects. The
fact is the natives in India are
eligible for every Office in the gift
of the government below the gov
ernorship of a province. The
natives are eligible for the office
of judges of the high courts, and
may become members of the legis-
lature, and also of the National
Congress.
That England has shown a,
liberal hand in her vast Indian
possessions must be admitted, and
a similar liberality extended to our
new colonial possessions will in a
short time bring even the wild
PHILIPPINE into a reasonable state
of mind. These merciful works
done by British force of arms have
been done, as the victor of the
soil, many bitter rebellions and
mutiny have been fostered, by
the natives and suppressed by
force Of arms, and we must do
the same.
We must be cruel only to be
kind, says Shakespeare, and al
though our executive, and our
congress may be opposed by un-
thinking people, yet it is their
duty to proceed with the good
work of civilization now begin,
and having cast our bread upon
the waters we shall doubtless find
it again after many days.

IN our ullUSC, HAS jill dlOuS U0ou
telling you that it is never too
late to mend, we will therefore
open the subject by asking why
we are born in sin,-that is if we
are.
This is of course a very broad
question and cannot be answered
in single article, such as we can
produce in our weekly. But we
can open the question by first
asking back, when and where did
Sin first originate. And for this
we refer you to the Book Of Rev.
olutions, and it reads, that there
was war in heaven, now wal is
disobedience to a higher power,
and therefore sin was first origin
ated in the act Of disobedience,
and Lucifer, that old serpent
which deceiveth the world was
cast out from heaven into the earth
and all his hosts with him. And
here we find the first punishment
for sin committed.
We will now ask ourselves a
vital question.
Do those who did love us when
we were in the world, love us less
because we are here. And we
answer no. Symphathetically, no.
Secondly, will they do all in their
power to help us regain our liberty
and our moral station. Such as
we formerly enjoyd, and we answer
yes. If then, those who did love
us, if they love US still. No they
would do all in their power to re-
claim US now we have fallen.
How much more will our heavenly
Father love us, and do all He can
to redeem and save us. Our God
is God of Love, and tie love
contained in the bosom of those
whom we love, is from God.
Therefore are we made in the
image and likeness of God.
We will now recite the tenth
"This world was made and the
human family was created to be a
place for the redemption of the
fallen angels,-that by becoming
incarnate in human body as a
little babe, and having an know
ledge of the past completely OBJ
that the true nature of
the creature should be made mani
fest, so that the good should be
returned to Gods presence in the
same way in which the Son of
God became incarnate in human
babe, and by living a sinless life
from the moment of his entry
into the world until the moment
of his death, or departure from
this world, thus proving by him.
self once offered, that sin may and
can be overcome by all who come
into it. Also by the act of grace,
the Angels of God who dwell with
him in heaven, have the same
privilege to try their quality Of
goodness by voluntarily becoming
an incarnate into this world. By
the combined and united forces of
good and evil, in this world, evil
will be overcome, and this plan of
redemption will continue until
the last individual fallen angel
shall have been saved; by this
belief we see why it was that the
Son of God, allowed himself to be
tempted Of the devil, who is also
called Lucifer, who originally was
Michael the Arch-Angel next in
power and glory to the God the
Son.
If then this plan Of redemption
continues, the motto "Never to
late to mend, stands good, and
those of us, who by our own fault
have become inmates of this insti-
tuition, have no fear of the ultimate
result Of the Mission of Christ.
