GREW TAKEN BY cANNIBALs.
Terrible Fate That Probably Befell tn
Occupants OF q Missing Steamship In
the Straits OF Magellan.

Philadelphia, Nov. S.-Capt. Little
hales, of the British steamship Kur-
distan, which has arrived here from
the west coast of South America,
brings information regarding the prob
able fate of the missing French steam
ship Madeline, which sailed from VAL
paraiso last August for Ha7re and dis
appeared completely. From informa-
ton gathered at the Kurdistan's stop
ping points, there appears to be little
doubt that the Madeline was wrecked
near the Pacific side of the entrance to
the straits of Megallan and that her
crew was captured by the Patagonia
cannibals.
From lights seen burning at night
Capt. Littlehales thinks the crew sought
refuge at Otter point, short distance
outside of the straits entrance, where
the Kurdistan anchored on the night
of September IA on her way to Phila-
delphia. Whether they were signal
lights for assistance Capt Littlehales
could not tell, as he did not know of
the loss of the vessel until he had passed
that point

Prefer Horsefiesh to Beef.

Many people in Denmark prefer
horsefesh to beef. In Germany and
Austria business is brisk in horse meat
preparations, and is becoming more so
every year. England is still reluctant
about accepting the new aliment. The
first horse butchers in Paris were only
established in 1866; that special trade
is now legally carried on, and is con-
siderably increasing, as demonstrated
by municipal statistics-so much so
that to-day over 5000 tons of horsefesh
are consumed annually in Paris, sold
by 60 licensed horse butchers.

Paterson. N. j., Nov. s.-Vice Presi-
dent Hobart is growing weaker. DIR.
Newton did not give out any official
bulletin this morning, but when asked
regarding the condition of his patient
about eight o'clock said: "The vice
presidents night was not restful one.
He did not get as much sleep as was
hoped. His restlessness and lack of
sleep during the critical hours of the
night offset the good effect of the day
yesterday, which was the best in a
week" The doctor added that the
vice presidents heart was growing
weaker gradually. DR.. Newton said
the vice president has taken very little
nourishment, but his mind was in a
fairly good condition. It was impossi-
BILE to say how long Mr.. Hobart might
last.

pursuit. Several shots were exchanged
with the robbers and when their horses
gave out they took through cornfeld

England Commands the Sea.

The persons who are talking in this
country and in Europe of joining the
Beers must be either ignorant of geog-
raphy or imagine they can go to the
Transvaal in balloons. England has
command of the sea, and the Transvaal
has not even a port on any of the
oceans. The chances, of course, are
that nobody in the United States, at
least, will attempt to go to the Beers

Most Wonderful Work Of Art.

Estimates differ as to the cost of the
Dewey arch in permanent form. One
is $500. 900, but that of prominent
sculptor is S1,00O,O0 The site will
probably be in or near Central park. A
citizens committee has the matter in
charge, and the subscriptions pledged
are already numerous When put into
marble the monument will be known
as the Navy arch, concentrating all
American sea captains and the men
behind the guns. The arch is unques-
tionably the most wonderful work of
art ever produced in six weeks.

GEN. Pillar A PEELER
He Wants to Skin General Otis
Out Of a Large Sum Of
Money.
WOULD BETRAY INSURGENTS
He Is Trying to Make Deal Like the
One Aguinaldo Made with the
Spanish Government, But 1t
Will Not Go.

Manila, Oct. 16.-General Otis has re-
ceiyed message purporting to come
from the nsurgent general, Pho del Pi-
lar, offering to sell out and deliver his
army into the hands of the Americans.
The policy of Otis is firmly set against
buying any surrenders. Pho del Pillar
offers for $50, 900 to refrain from attack
ing Manila with his army; for $250,00O
to surrender the army after sham bat
tie, both sides firing into the air and for
$5O0,000 says he will procure the over
throw of the insurrection and the cap
ture Of Aguinaldo, Paterno and other
leaders. Reports from the districts oc-
cupied by the enemy state that Pho del
Pillar has an audacious plan to break
through the American lines into Manila
and seize General Otis and the arch
bishop.
New York, Oct. 1s.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Manila via Hong Kong
says: The recent military operations on
Porac to the north and on San Fran
cisco and Malabon to the south as plan
ned in General Otis office contemplated
only expeditions against the enemy and
gions. These. operations were severely
criticised by military men generally as
the territory abandoned by Americans
was Immediately re-occupied by insur-
gents. Soldiers and officers alike feel
their lives are being sacrificed without
accomplishing results. Our losses are
very heavy when compared with the ad-
vantage gained. Sound military men
say the territory must be held by garri-
soning the principal ports and interior
towns. The medical department is out
ragged because General Otis fails to rec
ognize through its representatives the
direct need Of more medical officers,
nurses and hospital room.
Manila, Oct. 1S.-Batson's Macabebe
scouts encountered the enemy at San
Mateo near Arayat down today and at
tackled them on the front and flank,
driving them out of the trenches and
dispensing them completely. Several
Filipinos including a captain and lieute-
nant were killed and quantity of arms
captured. The Macabebes had one man
killed.
Manila, Oct. 1s.-Ten former Spanish
soldiers who for time acted as officers
and members of the Filipino artillery
regiment located in the vicinity of Santa
Rosa Laguna de Bay district determined
to surrender the artillery to the Amer
leans. The plot was discovered by the
Filipinos WHO killed seven of the con-
spirators but the other three escaped to

last Friday night. This was the first
meeting Of the society to be held in the

est centered largely on a debate on the
question, 1T Is better to have loved and

which was discussed respectively by
Miss Ethel Peet and Mr.. Frank Broyles
for the affirmative, and Miss Bertha
McBeth and Mr. Theron Bennett for
the negative.
