The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1899-08-31

On the departure of the Spaniards
the inhabitants of some of the Sulu
Islands, notably Palawan, Balbabac
and Kulion, applied for British protec-
ton, and Capt. Pfort of the British
steamer Labuan, visiting Palawan in
response to the urgent request of the
natives, handed to the latter a British
flag, to be used in case of emergency.
On the matter being reported to Sir
Charles Mitchell, governor of the
Straits, and subsequently to the for
eign office, the latter telegraphed to
singapore orders that the British flag
should at once be hauled down, and ac-
cording to advices just received in Lon
don, H. M. S. Archer was dispatched
TO Port Royalist, Palawan, to haul
down the flag. From the report of
Capt. Pfort it appears that it was only
on seeing the really critical state of
affairs that he gave the flag to the ma
tlves. The Labuan called at Port Roy
alist, Palawan, on February 1, and
found the people in great consterna-
ton. The S%paniards had left three
months previously, saying that the
Americans would take over the gov
eminent in three days. On leaving, the
Spaniards turned adrift, without food,
clothes or money, all the native SOL
d1ers. The convicts, too, were set
liberty, and all arms and ammunition
having been removed the people were
entirely at the mercy of the disbanded
soldiers and freed convicts, who loot
ed and pillaged the whole country. On
his arrival Capt. Pfort was asked by
the head man there if the governor of
Sandakan would afford them protec-
ton, and he, in reply, suggested that
a letter in that sense should be dis
patched to the governor of Sandakan.
Capt. Pfort also handed to them a Brit
1sh merchant ensign with instructions
to inform anyone seeking to modest
them that the people were under Brit
1sh protection. He also gave to them
this letter: BE it known unto all men
that /, Captain Pfort, master of the
British steamer Labuan, having arrived
at this port and found the people de-
sirous of British protection, have this
day given to the president of this port
a British flag, which l have instructed
him to use and call upon all men to re-
spect h same until such time as Her
Britannia Majesty, Queen Victoria,
notifies her pleasure regarding the pro-
lection of this port and the Island of
Palawan in general" After leaving
Port Royalist the Labuan called at
Curaray and Jilandak ports, on the
northwest coast of Palawan, and found
a similar condition of things, the people
being in terror in the mountains. Pro-
ceediEg to Kulion, an island seventy
miles north of Palawan, Capt. Pfort
found a local republic set up under
A~guinaldo. From this place he took on
board his steamer a number of refu-
gees. The dispatch from Lord Sails
bury to Sir Charles Mitchell in refer
ence to Capt. Pfort's action simply or
dered the flag to be hauled down, and
added that the British government dis
approved of Capt. Pfort's action. Her
majesty government stated that Pala-
and the adjacent islands, being
portions of the Philippines, became by
virtue of conquest, American territory.

Fads account for much of the money
spent. This last winter in London
women silk equestrian tights a
great deal, claiming their skirts hung
better and were easier to wear over
them. Corsets lined with kid and
chamois breeches for riding and cy-
cling-these are some of the expensive
novelties that cost. Royalty is not as
e~xtravagant as it's subjects. The trous-
e a of a princess mounted up to $780,
600 this spring, but many an American
bride spends more than that. Three or
six dozen of everything in the way of
lingerie mounts up.

brothers, who had been keeping the wires
burning for the past two days trying TO
help their loved ones keep up heart and
who had TO good purpose been exerting
every influence upon the health authori-
ties to have train sent in TO bring the
exiles home.
About three hundred people came up on
the train. Many OF them were Richmond
people, many were tourists from the
North and West caught at Old Point and

within the quarantine district who man
aged 20 get out on the train which the
influence of citizens OF Richmond had in
