CRUELTY TO HORSEFLESH.

c.. hired a horse and buggy from
Blake's stables yesterday afternoon, and
while driving at top speed i'll the most
reckless and cruel manner, one or two
friends of the stables telephoned Mr..
Griffis, the superintendent that his
horse was being driven numerically
and that he had better run the sport in
Mr.. Griffis went in pursuit of the horse
killer, overtaking him on Morgan street.
Mr.. Griffis demanded the horse. the
sport hesitated, whereupon Mr.. Griffis
pulled him out of the buggy and gave
him such sound thrashing as he evil
denly deserved.
1t would seem, from the looks of the
sports physiognomy this morning, that
he is sufficiently impressed with the
fact that the Raleigh liverymen are not

SECURITY UNDER OUR RULE.
Foreign Minister Thinks Report of a
Threat BY Dewey Canard.

Berlin, Feb. 2S.--With reference to
the statements published in foreign news
papers regarding the supposed action of
the German warship Irene. in the Phil
ippine Islands and the alleged conduct
of Rear Admiral Dewey. who, it has
been said, threatened to sink the steam
pinnace of the Irene, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs said these statements
belong to the category of plump can
ards previously described by him.
So far as he knew, the Irene was not
in the Philippine Islands, but was at
Hong Kong, and the only German war
ship at Manila was the Kaiserin Au-
gusta. There were. he added, a consid-
cradle number of German merchants in
the Philippine Islands whom the Ger
man navy was anxious to protect during
the Hispano-American war
I'VE hope the Minister said, that
our countrymen will find full security
under American rule"

a number of rebels who were inside.
A factory at Malolos is reported to be
running day and night to supply ann
munition for the Insurgents. The ig-
norance of the natives is shown by
the fact that they have collected empty
Springfield shells and are reflling them.
Over two thousand of these cartridges
have been discovered in houses in Pan
dacan by an officer of the Washington
volunteers.
The cruiser Charleston and the gun
boat Concord have gone on ten days
cruise, presumably looking for filibus-
tiers. 1t is believed that arms are be-
ing landed in small quantities at North

Everything was absolutely quiet last

on the west of the Island of Luzon and
about one hundred miles from Manila

Northwest. Passing from these matters
of general interest. the Indians of North

And then came the fascinating part of
the lecture, in the speakers account of
the Indians agriculture and his skill
in construction. The lecturer wisely
threw the full weight of his powers of
description and illustration upon this
part of his theme. 1t is doubtful if any
