TAKEN BY THE NAVY.
American Flag Now Floats Over
the Island of Sibutu-Juris-
diCtion Disputed.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 5.-The Unit
ed States navy has taken possession of
another island in the East. The news
of the seizure was contained in the fol-
lowing dispatch:
Cavite Jan. 5.--On December 81, Wentz-
baugh commanding the Albany "a little
gunboat) hoisted the flag on Sfbutu island,
and the chief Dato provided and raised the
pole Natives and North Borneo authorities
pleased. WATSON
The island lies at the southwestern
angle of the boundary line of the quad
rangle enclosing the Philippine group. 1t
is probably, but not positively, outside
of the line and lies very near the coast
of Borneo, commanding the principal
channel between that island and the Phil
ippines. The Sultan of Jolo, whose group
is close to this island, is believed to claim
jurisdiction over it, and as his authority
is recognized by the native tribes on the
north coast of Borneo and vicinity, it is
believed that his claim is we'll founded.
1t was probably at his instance that the
naval officer commanding the gunboat
moved.

''Some fine pearls from the Concho riv-
cr, in Texas, are now marketed in this
city said a local dealer in precious
stones. ''Of late years pearl-hunting in
that locality has been developed into Il
considerable industry. The harvest is
brought north by COMPETENT man about
twice Il year. As rule the pearls com

ket No finds of extraordinary value
have been made, SO far as [ know; but
the average is very good. Most of the
pearls find q sale at between So and $50;
Il good many come nearer the latter price
than the former. Some years ago no
body considered the Texas pearls as inn
portant; the growth of the industry has
been gradual and quiet.
Men hunt along the Concho from its
mouth to its source at various times: but
the most profitable fields seem to be in
Sterling, Concho and Tom Green coun-
ties where 4 number of pearl-trading
companies have been organized. both for
harvesting and selling. While these
counties yield the greater part of the
harvest, the Llano river and other tribu-
taries of the upper Colorado river are
good hunting grounds. [ have heard it

FRENCH TROOPS
UTTERLY ROUTED,
ANONYMOUSLY Defeated in Battle
with Chinese-France De-
mandS Indemnity.

Victoria, 3. c., Jan. 4.--AccOrding to
| news received from the Orient by the
steamer Queen Adelaide, the troops Of
France have been ANONYMOUSLY routed
with loss of thirty killed, in a battle
with natives of the province Of Qwang
lung, in southern China, where for some
time past there has been trouble over the
delimitation Of the Franco Chinese boun-
Diary.
In a fight about a month before this
last encounter 100 Chinese were reported
to have been killed. Because of this at
tack, together with the killing of two
French officers by Chinese while engaged
IN surveying, the French shelled the vii
iage took Chinese warship and held the
tataO of the district prisoner for some
time. Soon after this affair Marshall Su
arrived at Kwang Chow bay bearing or
derS to uphold the Chinese rights.
The story of this last battle is trans
lated from the Chun Ng0i San Pc by the
Hong Kong Daily Press. The French
were moving forward, seemingly on Il
reconnaissance, when the natives were
encountered. On sighting the French
the natives at once moved forward and
gave battle. The French were obliged to
retire, and, seeing their advantage, the
natives continued to press forward, with
the result that the French fed, routed by
The Chinese, who pursued them for a
great distance The french loss was
given at thirty killed. The majority were
killed in the action, although some who
were left wounded on the field were dis
patched by the victorious Chinese. The
native loss was not given.
A Pekin dispatch to the press of ia
pan, under date Of December 6, says the
demands preferred by France upon the
Chinese government for the recent
kwang-Tung disturbances include pay
ment of a cash indemnity Of 200, 900 francs,
4 concession for the construction of q
railway from Kwang- Chow TO a certain
point, the right of working mines in the
province and the dismissal of Taw
Chung-Liu, the viceroy of the provinces
Of kwangTung and Kwan-Kwangsi.

A MERCILESS WAR.
Western Buffalo Ii rds Swept Away
by an Army OF port men.

Western Buffalo Ii rds Swept Away
by an Army Of port MEN.
Nearly 100000 buffaios have been
wiped out of existence during the past
thirty years on the Western plains. The
work of destruction began when the con-
struction of the transcontinental roads
was entered upon. The contractors in
some cases entered into arrangements
with hunters to furnish their workmen
with buffalo meat at SO many head per
day. The construction of the great trans
continental road divided the great herd
of buffaloS into two parts-one south of
the Missouri river and the other north.
In 1871 the northern herd was roughly
estimated at 100000; organized bands
of 100 each set to work and the average
destruction was estimated at from 5000
to 1000 buffaloS per day. In two years
it was estimated that 1.7S0.000 buffaloes
were killed. During the first few years
of this regularly -organized crusade the
Indians killed 100000 and settlers and
mountain Indians killed about 100000
The grand total for these years is figured
out at about 100000 buffalos BY the
year 1882 it was found that there were
not more than 100000 left, and these
were very widely scattered At that
time there We're 5000 hunters in the field
shooting them down wherever found In
1888 Sitting Bnll and some whites killed
the remaining 10000. Such merciless
war was never witnessed in any civilized
country. There are now 300 huffalocs in
captivity.-Philadelphi Record.
