Isolated Bands of Ban

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Isolated bands
or oushwhacking insurgents, who are
caught by our forces in the Philippines,
are likely TO be summarily dealt with.
Al the Cabinet meeting to-day the matter
was discussed at some length. and it was
the general sentiment that the situation
demanded vigorous treatment AS long
as the insurgents keep up a show of an
army under semblance of discipline they
VIII be treated as prisoners of war when
captured but when they degenerate into
isolated bands of marauders. harassing
our FORCES by cold-blooded assassinations,

OF Colorado. being the only absentees. In
addition TO the committee many OF the
leaders OF the Republican party were In
attendance.
The proceedings throughout were enthu-
siastic and harmonious. every speech that
was made emphasizing the fact that Pres
ident Mckinley would be. renominated and
That the convention would be in effect
simply ratification meeting.
The claims Of the rival cities were pre-
scented by distinguished citizens OF each
in open session. The balloting occurred
IN the afternoon behind closed doors.
Upon the first ballot Philadelphia received
Is votes, Chicago 20, New York and st.
Louis 9. On the second ballot the contest
narrowed down 10 Philadelphia and Chi
cago, the New York votes went to Phila-
delphia and the ST. Louis vote was split
between the City of Brotherly Love and
the Windy City of the Lakes
An amusing incident occurred In connec-
ton with this ballot. After IL was con-
Guided and announced as Philadelphia e
ana Chicago 2 7. y. Jameson, the ma
uonal committeeman from Illinois sud
denly discovered that In the excitement
ne had forgotten 10 vote. He demanded

waiting In the lobby. broke out I'm ringing
cheers, and the hotel was soon given up
20 their jubilation. Later many OF them
went To the White House and called upon

As the ballot was secret there is no rec

date would have been selected had IL not
been that IL confiicted with the date OF
the Rhode Island elections. June was
then selected. but the date was recOnsid-

HAWAIIAN RACE Is
FAST DISAPPEARING

HONOLULU, Dec. s.-The number of
deaths in this city during eleven months OF
this year is an increase OF 40 per cent over
the number during the year when cholera
visited the islands and an increaae of no
less than 90 per cent over the figures for
the year following. which was Just after
the city had been given a thorough clean
ing. Statistics show that the principal IN
crease is among the native He waiians
and the japanese. AS there are no recent
census figures upon which to Compute a
death rate II Is impossible to Compare
death rates, but physicians think that the
growth of population is not enough TO &C
count for the increase in deaths. The aa-
tive population is decreasing, yet there
will be 526 deaths during 1899 II the rate
keeps up, while in no year since 1859 has
there been more than 461. This seems TO
confirm the Idea that the natives are dy-
ing out.
The Japanese population has increased
enormously. so that an increase in the
deaths might have been expected. There
Is a great increase In the deaths among
the Chinese and Portuguese as well. bur

According TO the figures for eleven
months there will be hfty-six deaths
among whites during this year. Last year
there were seventy-seven and IN several
previous years the figures have gone over
thirty. while the population has undouSt-
edly grown very much. From these hg-
ures II appears that the whites are doing
better In Honolulu as regards health than
either natives. Japanese, Chinese or Por-
tuguese. The manner OF living may have
something TO do with this. and an agita-

LIVED NINE DAYS IN A GRAVE
Harry Beno awoke from his sleep of
niue days on Sunday and walked out
of his living grave at Chicago. His
first act was to eat dainty meal of
chicken broth, boiled eggs and crack
ers, after which he declared that he
was feeling well. Beno is the man
who has driven files and avis into his
head and hung chairs on them; who
has eaten arsenic and smoked cigar
for dessert. Beno was not under
ground during the entire eight days

became flooded during the heavy

a VIRGINIA GENTLEMAN.-Erom
the Washington Post: 1t is said that
the people of rural communities are
the poorest ones in the world to give
information to travellers who have
lost their way. This sweeping as
sertion cannot be applied to the peo-
pie of Virginia. Two gentlemen from
Washington were taking a drive
about the country in that State not
long ago when they found that they
were hopelessly wandering about with
no idea of the proper course. After a
while they came to a fine old farm
house, and 8 gray-haired old patri-
arch came out in response to their
"Hello." The wayfarers told him
their troubles and he listened with
evident interest.
Gentlemen" he said, as he thrust
out his chest and threw back his
shoulders, 81 opine that you should
perambulate along the left side of
the river until you come to Rocky
Ford. There you should traverse
the stream and angle along the right
bank until you come to bifurcation,
OF which you should take the left
fork. Now, gentlemen, if you hap
pen to be in this vicinity again, house
your equine in yonder edifice, accept
of my hospitality. and it shan't cost
you - cent"
