Manila, April 13.-4:05 p. m.-About
4 o'clock this morning small body
of rebels attacked the camp of the
Third artillery from the swamp near
Paombon, mile and half west of
Malolos. Two privates were killed,
and lieutenant and two others wound
ed.
With the coming of daylight the
American forces secured the district,
driving the rebels nortnward and kill
ing several of them. A private of the
Montana regiment was wounded.
Francisco Reyes, the man who re-
Gently purchased the Spanish gunboats
at Zamboanga, island of Mindano, has
{ received advices to the effect that the
fleet sailed for Manila and returned a
few days later with the vessels stripped
of their guns and ammunition. The
the vessels, on board the American
steamer Butuan, were conveyed to
Zamboanga by the United States cruis-
er Boston and were instructed to wait
for the arrival there of the United
States gunboat Petrol. Instead of so
doing after the Boston sailed from
Zamboanga the Spaniards transferred
the gunboats to the agents of Senior
Reyes and the feet left Zamboanga un-
escorted. They soon returned and re-
ported having been boarded by rebels
who removed the gunboats' ornaments.
If the instructions of the naval COM
mander had been obeyed their capture
would have been impossible.
Zamboanga is fortified and still gar
risoned by Spaniards and the affair
Is regarded as suspicious.
Washington, April 13.-The war de-
partment officials take philosophical
view of the reported capture by the in
surgents in the vicinity of Zamboanga
of the arms and armament of the Span
ish gunboats which were to become the
property of the United States. They
say that Gen. Otis has withheld pay
ment for any of these boats until they
were delivered to him at Manila. 1t
is regretted that the insurgents should
possess the guns, but it is said they
will not be able to secure and keep on
hand supply of ammunition for them.
The United States forces have SO far
had no trouble with insurgents on the
island of Mindano, and in view of the
suspicious circumstances attending the
capture of these guns, it is apprehended
that some persons, possibly Spanish
sympathizers with Aguinaldo, have
caused the guns to be sent to him.

The Aztecs a Dying Race.

Many people make mistake in
speaking of the Aztecs sweepingly, as
If Mexico were yet largely inhabited by
them. This proud, pathetic race. the
last of the race to flourish on the Mexi-
can continent at the time of the Spanish
invasion, are now but few in number.
The treasure of their kings buried in
the great lakes, their last monarch hung
by the cruel conQuerOr, their beautiful
valley given over to fire and sword,
their immense temples and wide
stretched city utterly destroyed, the Az
tees left forever the valley of Mexico
and few of them are now among the
hills of Puebla, while others, few also,
are said to live along the Pacific coast.
The Aztec type is rare enough Tn.
like the TOltecs, they do not deform
their skulls. They are dolichocephalous,
with narrow fOreheads, have fat noses
slOping almost straight from the fore
head; black eyes, large mouth, thick
purple lips, short, regular teeth set in
rose-cOlOred gums and thick, coarse,
black hair. They wear little or no
beard. They have a dull bronze eolored
skin, with lighter hue in the palms of
the hands and the sOles of the feet and
are ugly rather than handsome. Such
are the Aztecs as found to-day in frag-
mentary bands and in isolated parts of
Mexico.

made. To the ordinary man or woman
no conception of the torture to which
the poor, unfortunate goose is put could
possibly be imagined.
The geese, when about nine months
old, are taken from the pastures and
placed in an underground cellar, where
broad, slantlng stone slabs stand in
rows, and are bound fast to the tables
They are literally crucified.

out and bound by bands, so that only

self from the bands and its position. its
powers of resistance are overcome. and
a dull resignation, broken only by its
low cries, takes possession of it. Two
months must pass away before death
brings relief.
The animals meanwhile are crammed
with dumplings made of a dough of
buckwheat, chestnuts, and stewed
maize. Every two hours. six times a
day, they received from three to FIVE
dumping pills, which in time become
so sweet to the tortured creatures that
they stretch their necks to be crammed.
The most difficult task is to deter
mine the right moment for death.
Those who die of their own accord are
lost to the liver factory; therefore a
kind of study is needed to see when
the cup of agony is trimming full and
the liver is ripe for taking. The bodies
of such ripe ones are like pumpkins
where ordinarily fingers are buried in
flesh and fat nothing but skin and bone
is found. The livers have absorbed all
the strength and juices.

It Is quite likely that we shall have to
stop talking about "a brainy man"
when 1t is intended to indicate that one
has unusual intellectual powers. or
about "a bralnlcss man" when in
ferioriiy of mental capacity is to be in
dcated. The Medical Record shows
that men with the largest brains are
not necessarily those possessing most
brain power, talent or intellect, and
says that "many persons with brains Of
unusual size have never risen beyond
mediOcrlty, while, on the other hand,
some Of those men who have risen to
great eminence by reason of their pow
erfuI intellectual development have had
brains smaller than the average" An
other fact announced is that natives OF
cold climates have larger brains than
those of the tropics and investigation
shows that in sixty given cases the
brains of the Lapps and Swedes had n
capacity, In cubic inches, of from 100
to 1O2, while the Egyptians and Ben

Scotch have the largest brains Of any
