Some Minnesota soldiers went on q
prospecting tour and came back with
samples of gold, which are now on ex-
hibition in Manila. The soldiers pros
pected the San Juan and Monte Blanc
mountains, where mountain streams
abound. The country is occupied by
Negritos, who are said to be much
above the Filipinos in cleanliness and
morality. The prospectors found good
evidences of gold in all the streams.
The natives have wooden "longtoms"
with which they manage to wash out
about a teaspoonful of gold a day.
This they have been selling to the
Spaniards for two Mexican dollars, al
though the gold is worth about $s5 in
American money. The prospectors
were rapidly trailing the mother lode
when they were ordered back by
party of insurgents, who alleged that
the prospectors would be murdered by
the mountaineers if they went any
further.

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INsTALLMENTs.
In order that new readers of The EN-
oUIRER may begin with the following in
stallment of this story, and understand it
Just the same as though they had read it
all from the beginning, we here give a
synopsis of that portion of it which has
already been published:
DR.. De Normanville, an English physi-
sician at Hongkong, hears of woman
called the Beautiful White Devil making
her home on an island in the Pacific OF
which she is the sovereign and leading a
piratical life in white yacht on the ocean.
DR.. De Normanville receives a call from a
stranger who engages his professional SER
vices to 60 to an unknown place to treat
an epidemic of smallpox. After an event.
full voyage he finds himself on board the
Lone Star, the yacht of the Beautiful
White Devil. He is taken to her island
home, where he fights the plague success
fully and falls in love with Allie, the Beau
tiful White Devil. Allie informs DR.. De
Normanville that person in her employ
at Singapore is about to betray her, and a
plan is laid to kidnap him. The party
meet at Batavia, where Allie personates an
American girl. They 60 to Singapore,
and Allie, as Miss Sanderson, induces Eb-
bington, her enemy, to take trip on the
water. She transfers him to the Lone
Star. Decoying steamer, she sends a
party aboard to induce another enemy,
Bark mansworth, to come aboard the
Lone Star. She flogs Barkmansworth.
De Normanville entreats Allie to marry
him, and she agrees to meet him in Eng
land in one year, when, if his mind is
unchanged she will marry him. The
year having elapsed, Allie appears in Eng
land. BarkmanswOrth recognizes her at
a theater and causes her arrest. After
much plotting and planning Allies friends
succeed into their own prison van.

MANILA'S AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.
Bits Of News From the Philippines Given
In The American Soldier.

Bits Of News From the philippines Given
In The American Soldier.
The American Soldier is the name of
the first American newspaper published
in Manila. 1t is devoted to the inter-
ests of the Eighth Army Corps and is
sold at 10 cents copy-Mexican mon
ey. The issue of December 18 thus
foreshadows the trouble with the in.
surgents that has just taken place:
"a conflict was narrowly averted
December 16. A private of the Colo
RADIO regiment who attempted to pass
the Filipinos' outposts was captured
and his rifle taken away from him.
The American lieutenant demanded
the immediate return Of the soldiers
weapon. The Filipinos were for a
time disposed to be stubborn and mass
ed 800 men at the point, ready for
trouble. The matter was finally set
tied by the soldiers weapon being re-
turned and the Americans agreeing
that no future attempt would be made
to enter the Filipinos' lines by soldiers
doing. outpost duty"
In its account of this trouble The
American Soldier says:
"The insurgents are certainly closing
in around the city. A few nights ago
the Idaho boys were drilling near the
Malate fort. They made bayonet
charge down the beach and had hard
ly got past the old Spanish trenches
when the whole thicket became mass
of bugle sounds"
In another article of the same paper
is the following:
'In case of an outbreak the first
move will be the assassination of all
the American officers whom it will be
possible to get at. But our regiments
have a system of street fighting per.
fected which will give the rebels all
the trouble they want. Each regiment
has mapped out certain streets to clear
and points to retreat and mass. The
bugles give the regiment warning OF
the presence of our troops in adjoining
streets, so there can be no danger OF
a mishap."
In the local news are the following
items:
"Corporal Walker came upon a
snake of the constructor species on the
Calle de Pallacio. The snake was set
upon by half dozen soldiers and
killed. On being measured it was
found to be 8 feet inches long, and III
inches around in the largest part, with
fangs like panther.
"The soldier police are working hard
to find the murderers of young bride.
The murderers are said to be Maccabe.
bes, gang of professional murderers,
who were hired to kill the young
woman by a disappointed rival for her
hand. The assassins entered her home
while her husband was absent and
stabbed her 80 times in the heart.
She fell dead crying for the Ameri'
canos. A Filipinos detective, wearing
false whiskers, figures in the case, and
other features give US all the blood
curdling interest of crimes which
sometimes startle big cities in this
country"
There is an account of raid On a
swell Spanish gambling resort:
