PRISON FOR CAPT. CARTER.
Army Onncer Convicted of Embexzlement
Sentenced to Five Years in the Fort
Leavenworth Penitentiary.

Washington, Oct. Capt. Carter,
the embezzling engineer officer, is SEN
fenced to five years imprisonment and
to pay a fine of 25, The sentence
was approved by the president. Capt.
Carter is now at Governors island and
under arrest and the sentence will be-
gin Immediately. Fort Leavenworth,
Kan, is designated as the place of his
confinement.
Capt. Oberlin M. Carter is native of Ohio
and was an oficer of the engineer corps OF the
army. For Il years he was in charge of the
work in connection with the improvement Of
the Savannah river and adjacent waters In
Georgia and Florida. During this time he ex-
pended nearly "a, co., s3, 500 600 OF which was
on the Savannah river alone. Instead of seek
Ing competition in having the work done he
strenuously avoided it and managed SO that
with only single exception every one Of the
contracts was awarded to the Atlantic Con-
tracing company, in which, the testimony
showed, he was an interested party, holding
one-fourth of the stock of the company and
personally profiting to that extent in the work.
When Carter was appointed military attache,
OF the American embassy at London. he was
succeeded by Capt. Gillette, who soon discov-,
cred that Carter was guilty Of forgery and em-
bezzlement, and investigation showed that he
was short nearly 1000 900. He was duly tried
by court-martial and convicted. Eminent legal
counsel was employed in his defense and an ap-'
peal taken to the president with the above re-
suit.

PALERMO THE BEAUTIFUL.
Romantic Tale Regarding the TAX
ing of the City by the
Saracens.

The origin of the beautiful city of
Palermo is lost in antiquity. but as re-
CARDS the Saracens taking it. n romantic
tale is told. There was a woman at the
bottom of il. A Byzantine general was
one day passing through the streets of
Palermo when he saw beautiful nun
looking down at him from her balcony
window, whereupon he Immediately fell
in love with her. Love laughs at lock-
smiths, so the nun stepped out of her
window that night on an impromptu
ladder and had just reached her lovers
arms when friar, returning late. dis
covered her. The power of the church
was not to be trifled with, and the gen.
eral was sentenced to be f1ogged
through the streets, the nun being COM
PEELED to. stand at her grating and
watch the degradation. By the aid of
his fellow officers, the general ventured
most hazardous escape. The keeper
of the prison was poisoned before mid
night, and the keys obtained. The pris-
oner then swan out into the bay and
foated until fishing boat took him up
and for heavy bribe put him on board
vessel bound for Africa. Once there,
he instigated the Mohammedans to an
easy conquest of Sicily; and they ruled
the island with rigor for 200 years, en-
riching its cities with beautiful pal
aces. Tradition does not say that he
found his sweetheart, but it is to be
hoped that he did, after all he had gone
through for her sake.-Detroit Free

FlLlPlNoS RELEASE PRISONERS.
Fourteen of Our Enlisted Men Reach
Otis Lines at Manila-Mascardo
Retreated to Calumpit.

Manila, Oct. Fourteen Ameri-
can prisoners, all enlisted soldiers, have
been delivered up by the Filipinos.
1t is reported from Iloilo that the
Tagals havesarrested Virain, general,
charging him with being traitor.
Tribal discord, it is added, is growing.
Many of the rebel soldiers have revolt
ed, many European prisoners escaping
in the meanwhile.
An escaped Spanish prisoner, who
has entered the American lines, says
that Gen. Mascardo, with 500 insur-
gents. began a retreat out of Porac
yesterday, as soon as the place was at
tackled. He removed to Calumpit, a
mountain stronghold to the westward,
where 1,5O0 other insurgents were
massed, and where the rebels have
powder works.
-Four prisoners from the captured
American gunboat Urdaneta were in
Porac and were taken to Calumpit by
the retreating enemy. The five other
men of the crew were killed.
A communication dated the 18th from
Gen. Garcia, commanding all insurgent
troops in eastern Mindanao, expresses
desire to turn the country over to the
United States authorities and surren-
der inSurgent arms.

We were near enough now, as

VIEWS OF SENATOR HARRIS
The hansan Thinks We Will Only Retais
Naval Station in the Philippines,
With q Port and City.

Washington, Oct. L-Senator .Har
ris. of Kansas, who is in Washington.
says he thinks there will be early ac
tion by congress on the Philippine
question. He believes that there will
be strong disposition to give the
Philippines a free government, with
certain control over their internationa;
affairs by this government, consistent
with the responsibility we incur il
their behalf, and with the retention by
the United States of perhaps a great
naval station and port and city,
which shall be great emporium
of American trade and commerce in the
orient. He believes that under the
surface this is what the great mass OF
the American people want. and that
they do not want the Filipinos as
either American citizens or colonial
subjects of this government. He be
lieves that the thinking American who
wants expansion means by that expan
sion of trade, not empire.

OF THE STRANGE AND EXCELLENT
MENDING OF OUR FORTUNES.
We discussed the matter little fur
ther, and all were of mind that we
came almost miraculously off. In
deed, but for such wonderfully favor
ing circumstances as the buccaneers
weakness in firearms and the too great
crowding Of their boat-causing them
to hamper one another at the last and
making them good targets-we should
almost certainly have come by the
worse. I then persuaded the senorita
to go to her cabin, promising to call
her if there were an alarm, which
done, we arranged the watches, and all
but Mr.. lynn, who had the first, turned
in.
The night passed quietly. About
sunrise little breeze brought a
wrinkle on the water, and we ran up
our sail. BY six of the clock we had
way enough on the boat to exceed our
speed with the oars, and with this we
were very well satisfied. We drove
along lightly that day, getting little
more wind in the afternoon, still from
the right quarter, and by nightfall
reckoned that we had made some FIVE
andkthirty miles. We continued to
keep the coast in sight, though now ut
a greater distance. as the danger from
the buccaneer decreased. Matters be-
ing thus so quiet. l thought it favor

of the last century the death rate in
London was about so per 1000 each
year. 1t had decreased to 24.O in 1850
and fell to 17.7 per 1000 last year,
