CRUSOE'S ISLANDS.
A Visit to the Famous Island of the

In tho November installment Of the Cen

around the world in his sloop the Spray,
Captain Joshua Slocum describes a visit to
the island where Alexander Selkirk paesed
five solitary years-an island which several
times, of late years, has been reported as
sunk.
The Spray being secured, the islanders re-
turned to the coffee and doughnut7, and l

scotchman stirred Up a Wake.

Donald McAlister of 437 East Seventy
sixth street applied to Magistrate Hogan in
the Yorkville police court for warrant for
the arrest OF some men who. he said, had as
saulted him at an Irish wake last Tuesday
night, reports the New York Sun. He went
to the wake with another Scotchman, he
explained, and when asked to tell story
to while the time away, told why there
were no Scotchmen in hell. The story de-
scribed how two of Lucifer's satellites, sent
to earth to bring a Scotchman for inspec-
tion, brought a bulldog in their bag by mis-
take and the beast bit the devil so severely
that he called his underlings about him
and said: Until the day OF judgment
never bring another Scotchman here Go
to England and Ireland. where you'll get
people without trouble
AS soon as he had finished his story Nc
Alister said one of the mourners asked him
IL he intended to insult the Irish. Before he
could answer some one threw shoe VIII CHI
hit him in the eye. The man next to him
hit him on the nose. Several others attacked
him on either side and his friend had diff
fculty in getting him alive out of the place
"Who are the men that struck you?'
asked Magistrate Hogan.
McAlister replied that he did not know;
they were all strangers to him. The magis
trate told him to return to court when he
found out who the men were.

RlCH FIELD IN PHILIPPINES
General wheeler is Well Pleased
with Prospects There and Decries
DisIoynlty in America.

FLORENCE, Ala. Nov. 7.-General Joe
Wheeler, in letter to w. ]. Wood Of
Florence, stating his views on the Philip
pines says: ~.
II am delighted with the Philippine
islands ! have no doubt that a little push
and energy this fall will crush out the
Agunaldo insurrection. Out Of 100000 Of
people in these islands l do not think that
he has more than 10000 soldiers, and in a
square fight 5000 would tear them to pieces.
All that is necessary to crush them out at
once is for the army to get at them and
keep at them until the work is done.
"The evil features of the islands have
been exaggerated to our people. Their
extent is so great from north to south and
the variation OF the altitude is such that
there is a great variety of climate and va
riety of productions. Americans will find
this an excellent field for their energies
and the wealth producing powers of these
islands under American influence would be
very great
'The action OF some people in the United
States in asserting that the Philippine peo-
pie ought to have independence do great
deal of harm and assists Aguinaldo in main
tanning the insurrection, as he publishes
all assertions by Americans OF that char
acter and tells his supporters that IL they
hold out independence will be given them.
1t also has bad Influence in this-that the
people who are disposed to be favorable to
us and who desire us to govern the islands
fear to assert themselves because they
know if they should do so and the Americans
should abandon them they would be in
great danger OF their lives and in all prob
ability their PROPERTY would be confiscated. =
