An Orthodox Donkey.

The ecclesiastical functions OF rural
deans had fallen into almost entire dis
use prior to the Tractarian movement
The revival of their ancient authority
after 1850 led to the telling of many
stories anent their newly exercised du-
ties. One of the stories Hicks used to
tell was of the visit of rural dean to
Blisland, and of his interviewing the
parish clerk in the absence of the rec
tor. The rural dean expressed to the
clerk his disapproval of the donkey's
being allowed to Craze in the church,
yard. The clerk, eager to defend his
absent rector, burst out: "Ain't un a
religious haste? Why, that 'er be, and
no chapel baste, neither. Master sent
un last week to the smithy, and the
man who shood un was dissenrer, and
he kicked un sure enough. Master
wouldn't hold with sich Eonsense."--

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
A Canadian Kills His Indian sweet.
heart and Then Suicides.

Toledo, o., April IA tragic story
comes from Point Pelee, Ont. James
La Blanche, young French Canadian
killed his sweetheart, an Indian girl
named Olga Postamie. The French
man lived on the mainland and had moi
seen the girl during the winter When
he went to her home he learned that
she had given her love to another, an
American. He begged the young
woman to take a walk with him.
When they arrived at Lovers Rock,
a spot made famous because an Indian
chief had there murdered French
girl who refused to marry him, La
Blanche is said to have stabbed Miss
Postamie. He threw the body into
the lake and then drove the knife with
which he had killed the girl into his
own heart.

Paris, April 3.-Agoncillo, the agent
of Aguinaldo, in an interview published
in La Patrie says: THE capture of
Malolos is not as important as the
Americans are trying TO make it ap-
pear. The Filipino government had
already determined upon removal to
San Fernando and small detachment
of troops was left with orders to burn
the town and thus draw the Ameri-
cans inland. Two months of rain and
fever will save the Filipinos their am
munition and a good deal of trouble,
and the war will not end while single
Filipino remains to bear arms"

An Official Report on the Eject OF the
Fire of Dewey's Ships Upon Mon
teiO.s Fleet.


tejo's Fleet.
Washington. April 3-Leut John El-
lott, the intelligence officer of the Bal
timore, has forwarded to the navy de-
partment a report on the effects of the
gun fire of Dewey's feet upon the
Spanish war vessels in the battle Of
Manila. The report is based upon q
personal examination of all the vessels,
conversations with officers aboard and
extracts from Admiral Montejo's Off
cial reports. 1t describes in detail the
effect of every shot from the American
feet and proves that Montejo's vessels
were riddled by perfect storm of shot
and shell from the American guns.
The total number OF hits observable
was 141, but there were doubtless many
others, especially of small caliber,
through the rigging and burned super
structure of the ships. After painstak-
ing inquiry Lieut.. Elliott makes the fol-
lowing report of casualties on board
Monteio's ships: Killed 167, wound
ed 214.
The following points in connection
with the examination OF the Spanish
ships is emphasized by Lieut.. Elliott;
1.-The sides of iron and steel built
cruisers do not arrest projectiles
enough to explode them.
2-The incendiary effect of bursting
s-inch shells is far greater than would
seem proportionate to that of lower
calibers. 1
3-At ranges over $500 yards the
gun shields OF cruisers are in no sense
a protection, but insure the annihila-
tion of the guns crew and the disab-
ling of the gun if struck by projectile.
. 4-Warships of the present day will
generally be placed hors du combat by
conhagration and the destruction of
their personnel before they are sunk
by gun fire.

IAN UNeRATEFUL PEOPLE"
G III. Gomez Describes Cubans in the
AbOvo Sentence-Former Insurgents
May Not Get the Cash offered to
The N by Americans.

The N by Americans.
Havana, March 31.-Gen. Brooke has
almost made up his mind to send the
$3,000,000 back TO the United States
if the Cuban military assembly does
not give up the army rolls. "You
may as well do so and not trife much
longer" said Secretary Alger, when dis
cussing the matter two days ago in
conference with Gen. Brooke and Max
imo Gomez. The latter said such a
course would serve the assembly right.
Anyway the impression is spreading
that the governor general may return
the money to Washington, and it is
stirring up fresh feeling against the
assembly. Gen. Ernst called upon the
Cuban Rafael Portuondo, chairman of
the executive committee of the as
sembly, three days ago and asked for
the rolls. "Do you come from Gen.
Brooke?" asked Portuondo.
"Yes," replied Ernst.
"Officially or unofticially?"
81 come unofiicially,"
"Then I cannot give them up" re-
torted Portuondo. 81 can only do so
on official recognition"
A file of United States troops would
probably be sent to take the rolls il
he military administrator knew exact
ly where they were, but there is a feel
ing that a mistake might be made and
the administration placed in the light
Of over-anxiety and possibly be
laughed at.
In the course of conversation yes
terday with an old friend from San
Domingo, Gomez said: 81 am ready
TO go home. I am tired of this jangle
with the assembly. I have learned
something about this people which I
did not know before. They are an un-
grateful people. They do not appre-
ciate what the United States govern
ment is doing for them-a service in
which I am assisting. These assem-
which am assisting"

Santiago, Cuba, April S.-The tele-

the United States signal corps, is com
pleted and win be opened for CONNER
cial messages to-day. Five more ban
dts have been captured, including Mai
non, noted desperate. The others
who have been infesting the San Luis
district seem TO have removed their OPP
erations TO the north. A body OF
armed men few days ago attacked
two Americans in the neighborhood Of
Holguin, took their arms and horses
and then went further north to rob the
lighthouse at Gibara.

I ls Thought 10 Have Been Broken.
Manila, April The American
troops under Gen. Nc Afthgr are still
resting at Maloios, where everything
was quiet yesterday. Hdstilltics else
lwhere--so far as officially kFkp6rted-
have been limited during the last "a
hours to an occasional exchange Of
shots between the insurgents and the
troops forming the lines of Gen. Law
ton and Gen. Hall, extending from the
waterworks to La Lonia. But this
shooting has been just active enough
to make the lives of the soldiers a bur-
den and to compel the officers TO sleep
in trenches, clothed and in readiness
10 repel possible attacks. ~
Most of the Americans are becoming
convinced that the backbone of the in
surgent opposition is broken. There
are numerous rumors pointing to an
early collapse of the insurrection. One
of these is that Pho Del Pillar, the best
fighter among the Filipino officers, will
desert Aguinaldo and give his support
to the Americans.
The Spaniards, reasoning from their
experience of the natives. refuse to be-
lieve that the rebellion is anywhere
near put down. They declare that the
Filipinos will not take their defeat at
Malolos, with theiloss Of the city and
the removal of their so-called govern
ment, seriously TO heart On the con-
trary the Spaniards predict that the
insurgents will hover near the Amcri-
can lines, bothering them as much as
possible and when attacked in force
dissolve, only to reappear at other
points. This sort OF tactics, the Span
iards say, will be followed until the wet
season compels the Americans to be
housed in barracks and then the Fill
pinos will return and reoccupy such
towns as the United States troops do
not garrison. With the next dry sea-
son a repetition of the present opera
tions will begin. Time alone will
show how much there is in this the
ory, but as against II it must be borne
