cases OF leprosy at New Lexington. Perry
County. He has found the cases to be fully

PHILIPPINE NATIVES CRUEL.
Stories of Maltreatlnent Of Spanish Pris.

Stories Of Maltreatnent OF Spanish fris'
oners BY the Insurgents.
MANILA, Philippine Islands CBy Cable).-
The assertion so strenuously made by the
natives that they are highly civilized
race Is not borne out by facts. according
to Spanish refugees from the north who
have lust reached here. They say
that after the surrender OF the town OF
Aparri the insurgents formed a parade,
whose central feature was Spanish lieu
tenant, who was carried along the streets
suspended from bamboo pole. to which
his hands and feet were tied, just as hogs
are carried along here by coolies. On ar
rival at the plaza the procession halted,
the pole was placed on two forked sticks,
and q squad of rebels proceeded to
te.rorize their helpless victim by shoot
inc as close to his head as was
possible without wounding him.
When the unfortunate man was
unconscious from terror the procession
moved on again. Another story Is told OF
with his hands tied behind his back, and
compelled to eat the portions OF food al
iotted him from the floor OF his cell like a
dog. Not satisfied with this, his captors
are said to have hooked rope to his sWol-
len wrists, and by meauS OF pulley over
head pulled him of his feet until he
tainted.
stiil another refugee states that because
he threw some papers which he did NOT
wish rebels to have into cesspool the
natives dropped him into the hole and COM
pelled him to recover the papers. After
this he was paraded throughthe streetsfor
hours.
The Spanish priests who were cap
tured Jared somewhat better, according
to reports. The rebels organized them
into an e1tempore brass band to head
their procession, and by dint !of'ktcks and
blows compelled their captives to pro-
duce plants of discord, which Highly
amused the natives. The natives 1ndig-
nantly deny these allegations, and their
newspapers retaliate by printing horrible
stories Of atrocities practtced by the Span.
iards before the surrender OF Manila, ono
OF them even publishing the afhdavits OF
the victims.

omces In tho Island Closed Pending tho
Recognition OF Independence.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Especial. 1.-THE State
Department has instructed Vice Consul
General. Springer to proceed to Havana
and close up the affairs Of the United
States Consulate General there. The Con.
sular offices throughout Cuba Will NOT pe
abandoned just now, but Will pc closea
temporarily until such times as, through
the recognition OF the independence OF tne
Cubans, It may become necessary TO resume
business through. them.
The department las as yet taken no steps
toward reopening the American Consulate
In Spain, and this will probably. be allowed
to await the exchange OF ratihcations OF
the peace treaty. In the absence OF the
usual treaties of amity and commerce. the
status OF United States Consuls sent to
Spain would be somewhat indefinite. but It
is not doubted that they would be afforded
proper facilities for the discharge OF their
duties. .
One, at least, and perhaps more, OF the
United States Consular. officers in Spain
remained at his post throughout the war,
undtsturbed. The officer was not an Amer
lean citizen, but that In itself would not
have protected him from the interference
of the Spanish officials In the making OF
his usual reports to the State Department.
Another curious fact Is that there was re-
celved without intermission throughout
tue war at the Navy Department Spanish
official naval publication on the exchange
list Of the department.

he will report to Admiral Dewey on his
arrival and will undertake the work Of
raising and preparing for service under
the flag Of the United States the vessels OF
Admiral Montijo which suffered so severe
ly In the battle OF Manila Bay.
An immense crowd was at the dock to
witness Hobson's departure. His carriage
had great difficulty in getting through the
throngs of people, who simply would not
let him pass in quiet. Cheers upon cheers
were given for him. and he was compelled
at several points to say few words to the
people, Escorted by hundreds, Hobson
finally managed to reach the vessels side,
and as he emerged from the carriage the
cheers were renewed. Cries for speech
we're ignored for some time, but they be-
came so frequent and prolonged that Hob
son was compelled to speak to the people.
His remarks could hardly be heard save by
few people who stood close to him.
When the vessel got under way, all the
steam whistles on the water front we're
given free play and the noise was terrific.
The vessels in the harbor were decorated
for the occasion, and flags dipped In Hob
sons honor as the Gaelic passed up the
harbor OF the Golden Gate.

ENGLAND And THECANAL
The CIayton-BuIwer Treaty is Likely
to Be Abrogated. s...s-
TO ACT AT AN EARLY DATE.

Great Britain is willing That the United
States Should Control the Nicaraguan
Waterway Under Proper Conditions
We Are to Guarantee the Canals Neu'
trality and Safeguard British Interests.
LONDON (By Cable).-There seems to be
little doubt that Great Britain will agree
to abrogate the Clayeon-Bulwer treaty.
The temper OF the Cabinet and public
opinion, which largely influences the Gov
ernment's policy, points to such action,
though no definite understanding With the
United States has yet been reached. Great
Britain desires that the Nicaragua Canal
be constructed, and Is willing that the
United States should control 1t II the
United States guarantees its neutrality and
safeguards British interests. The reports
from Washington that the British Ambas-
sador there, Sir Julian Pauncefote, mas
been instructed to negotiate the aprogatlon
of the treaty are incorrect, though IL Us
likely he will soon receive instructions TO
that effect. ,.,,.,
The Impression hero Is that the British
Foreign Office and the United states
Charge de Affalres, Henry White, In
cidental to his visits to Cabinet minister's
viii arrange the basis OF action. Mr..
White spent a few days with the Marquis
OF Salisbury at Hatfield House, and with
his family spent Christmas week with the
Duke of Deyonshlre at Chatsworth House,
Derbyshire, the country seat Of the Duke,
who is Lord President OF the Councii.
There Mr.. White met another influential
Minister, Lord. George Hamilton, the
Secretary Of State for India.

Fifty Thousand Men Issued.
REGULARS RELIEVE VOLUNTEERS

Tho Cabinet Decides Upon This Step
ts The Mastering Out VIII Ee Completed
Within q Month-volunteers In South
ern Camps Are the First to Ee Re-
f tired to Civil Life.
WASHINGTON, D. C. (SpeciaD.-Adjutant-
General Corbin has issued the preliminary
orders providing for the muster-out Of fifty
thousand volunteers within month. This
action marks the final passing of the volun-
keer army, called into existence for the war
with Spain, as 1t will terminate the exist
bnce Of practically all OF those regiments
furnished by the States which are now dis
Y tributed among the Southern camps, as
we'll as those militia organizations now In
Manila, Cuba and Porto Rico, which will
soon be relieved by Regulars and returned
to their homes.
| The decision to dispense with all the re-
manning volunteers except about $4,000,
Temporarily required SeyoDd the bound
aries OF the United States, was definitely
seached at Cabinet meering, held few
days ago, although. the project has been
sor some time under consideration by the
War D apartment.
} .Adjutant-General Corbin is confident
chat the mustsr-out OF fifty volunteer
regiments will be accomplished by the end
of January, the promptness being due to
the fact that the mustering-out organiza-
lion is now thoroughly experienced, and
can proceed with great rapidity.
! In his preliminary orders the Adjutant-
General directed the work of preparing
the muster rolls to be begun Immediately
in all the volunteer regiments In South
Brn camps. He thinks the first of these
will be completed before the middle of
january, and as rapidly: as the regiments
hre ready for discharge they will be sent
10 their homes and their men will be re-
leased. General Corbin says that so far as
possible the State quotas Will be respected
in the selection Of the regiments to be re-
tained in the service. From this 1t Is likely
that by the end OF January no two regi-
ment from single State will be left in the
beryice.
