A SPANIARD'S PREDICTION.
Thinks the Philippines Are Going to Cost
Us Dear-Must Grant Them
Independence.

Madrid. Feb. THE newspapers
here publish an interview with "A min,
lister who declared that the Philippine
are going to cost the Americans dear.
as the Filipinos are not so susceptibl,
to brides as the Cubans."
The minister is quoted as adding:
"The Americans may repulse any at
tack on Manila. bst such victor,
will be of no advantage to the Unitet
States. for the insurgents. embitteret
by defeat. will be less disposed to
make an arrangement, and the strug.
gle will go on in tae Hinterland. which
will be very unfavorable to the Amer.
leans, who are absolutely incapable o.
mountain warfare
"The situation of the Americans is
very critical They will be compelled
to grant independence to the Filipinos
in spite Of Re fact that they will
thereby bring upon themselves the
worlds ridicule."
The minister also expressed the be-
lief that the rupture at Manila would
influence the United States. because
the anti-anneNationists will point out
that the annexation of the Philip
pine islands will demand enormous
and uncalled-for sacrifices of men and
money"
Continuing, the minister said: "Ths
rebels. therefore. have shown clever.
ness in choosing the eve of the ratiti.
cation OF the treaty for an outbreak. II
is very regretablc that the opening o.
hostilities will necessarily aggayate
the situation OF the SpaniardS IN the
Philippines.

CHINESE RIVER PIRATES
Capture n Steamer, XIII the Captain
and Rob Passen-
gers.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. THAT pirates
are at work on Chinese rivers is eri.
dent from the account of we'll
planned hold-up of the river steamer
Chung On, running between Canton
and Wu Chow. II took place late in
December, and the captain was killed,
the crew wounded and the passengers
robbed, The main body of pirates
boarded her at Wu Chow as passengers
and at Do Sing several more came on
board. II appears that they had re-
,olvers and ammunition concealed in
earthenware jars, which they said con
iaincd food.
When the steamer was nearing Chat
Parlin the pirates commenced opera
tions. They broke their jars and Sc
cured their arms. The Chinese cap
tain got one of the revolvers. and,
amid yolley of bullets, retreated into
the pilot house. He was leaning out
of the window waiting for the pirates
to appear, when one snealred around
the corner of the pilot house and
grabbed the gun. The captain was
wounded. They brought him out on
the deck and empted six chambers oi
revolver into his breast. They then
cut of two fingers and two toes. Two
of the crew We're wounded. The
pirates then went through the passen
gers, taking all their valuables, ant
even stripping their victims of th,
clothes they were wearing.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS,


Ahe State auditor has completed the
a'strloution of the school fund. The
uelay In the distribution has been
caused by the failure of the counties
anu separate school districts to make
their reports of poll collections. The
auditor has to deduct the polls from the
amount pro rated to each county and
district, The total poll collections for
1he year 1898 gives some interesting
comparisons. The total collections for
the counties for last year were sle2,-
w. Il and for the year 1897 they were
'5,i9l.9l, falling off last year of
N"'l2l,4. This falling off means tha,
there are some G,0OO or 1000 less quail
ned voters in the counties than there
were in 1897. The poll tax is g., and
the sheriff's commissions have also been
taken on the foregoing figures. In the
separate school districts, on the other
hand, there has been an enormous in
crease IN the number of polls paid, and
consequently large increase in the
number Of voters in the cities and
towns.
