FILIPINO PRISONERS
BREAK FOR LIBERTY

Washington, Sep S.-Manila newspa-
pers give news Of a desperate mutiny
among the native prisoners In Bilidad
prison, which resulted in the death OF
four and the wounding Of fifteen OF
them.
The outbreak came without the
slightest warning. The officials of the
prison were going about their duties on
a hot summer afternoon, July 10Th,
when little weazened Filipino, serv-
ing life term, assumed II crouching at
titude and began to creep up behind the
native foreman, giving utterances to
low growl like Il wild benst. The erect
was electrical on the other convictS. In
an instant the mutterings had grown to
a wild roar and every prisoner was
making for the keepers with murder In
his eye.
The senior captain of the native
guard, when he commanded the little
mob to dispersc. was slashed across
the back of the head with bolo. Then
the Infatuated men started for the gate
way of the prison to overpower the
guard and escape. They We're met by
Major Rogers, the cOmmandant, and a
small portion of the guard, who fired
n volley into the ranks of the fugitives.
Three men fell and this seemed to
check the prisoners for an instant, but
their leader, n Filipino of the most dcs-
perate type, urged them on. Though
already wounded by the first fire his
spirit was unbroken. and four times the
rifles spoke before he fell.
Then, like rats in Il trap, the prls-
oners tried first one gateway and then
another. and probably would have oy-
empowered the small guard and made
their escape had not the American pris-
oners themselves come to the rescue
and helped to capture the fugitives. A
few more volleys from their reinforced
pursucrs and the prisoners scurr1ed TO
their quarters in abject terror.
The War Department has been In
formed of the arrival of the transport
Warren nt Nngasaki with two battnl-
Ions of the Ninth cavalry and recruits
aboard. The health of the troops is re
ported excellent. The Warren Will
proceed to Manila.
The department also is advised of the
arrival of the animal transport Aztec
ut Kobe, with horses for the Third cav

Shortage of Cotton Crop.

Manchester England, Sept. Sat
n meeting of the cotton spinncrs here
to-day it was decided practically unan-
imously not to purchase American spot
cotton during the month of September.
Four-fifths of the employers in the
trade were represented. 1t is antici-
pated that the decision will lead to the
closure of scores of mills for several
weeks.
This action is due to the shortage in
the American cotton crop.
The total supply of Americas cotton
on the docks and in the warehouses Of
Liverpool does not exceed 10000
bales, only half of which is said to be
usable. The scantness of this stock
may be Judged from the fact that the
average weekly consumption of the
Lancashire mills is $1,000 bales.

is new on every ones lips in England.
Concerning it he said recently: "The
funny thing about the song is that
originally l wrote it as a satire; it
wasn't at all the patriotic song it has
since become. 1t came out in the
Artists Model and it fell fiat. The
public wouldn't stand the satire. No
wonder l withdrew and rewrote it.
felt sure l had good inspiration in
the tune and now l think my belief
has proved right. OF course, am very
grateful to Queen Victoria for having
diamond jubilee at the night time
That began it's popularity, and now 1
tell myself that it has become The
Marseillaise' of England" The song
is selling at an average rate of 10000
copies a week.

Homo of tho Eel

From the Baltimore Sun: There are
cells that are the most palatable Of all
fish that swim, and cells that are not
fit to be eaten. The habitat OF the eel
makes the fish delicious or repulsive.
Where it lives affects it more than its
habitat does any other fish. The cells
that are bred and lie in the mill ponds.
or on the muddy bottoms of fresh
water streams, or in "mudguts," are
to be regarded as SO much carrion,
and are fit only for crab bait. It's the
same way. though not to such a great
extent, with catfish, and even the shad,
the prince of table fishes, is unfit to
be eaten when taken in the muddy
waters and ooze OF the up-streams,
Eels that are caught in clear salt
water, on the hard and sand bottom OF
the flats, well down the rivers, are de-
licious for table use.

TRUE AND FALSE PROPHETS
An Extraordinary Scene Which Took

An Extraordinary Scene Which Took
Place in Paris.
An extraordinary scene was enacted
by real and mock Mussulman out
side a boulevard cafe in Paris, says
the Birmingham Post correspondent.
A law student, having had himself
photographed in the costume of Mo-
hammedan mosque dignitary walked
about the streets in the strange garb,
and then sat outside the refreshment
establishment with a glass of absinthe
before him. Soon there passed that
way genuine follower of the prophet,
who could scarcely believe his eyes
when he saw a person dressed as an
imaum imbibing strong drink. Rush
ing at the student the Mussulman
knocked the glass out of his hand and
smashed bottle also on the table at
which the apparent imaum sat. The
student was not backward in defend
ing himself, and as the two men were
graphing with one another the police
interviewed and took them both to the
station. There Ali Ben Mahommed,
the real Islamite, finding that he had
only an imitation imaum to deal with,
excused his fury The pair were then
sent away, the law student having been
severely reprimanded by the police Of
fetal for his disrespect toward the re-
ligion of the prophet.

THE SIRDAR.
Acts OF Barbarity Duo to Defects In
Lord Kitchener's Character.

From THE River War" by Winston
Churchill: Kitchener's wonderful in
dustry, his undisturbed patience, his
noble perseverance, are qualities too
valuable for a man to enjoy in this i'm
perfect world without complimentary
defects. The general, who never
spared himself, cared little for others.
He treated all men like machines
from the private soldiers, whose sa-
lutes he disdained, to the superior Off
GERS he rigidly controlled. The COM
re lie who had served with him and
under him for many years in peace
and peril was flung aside incontinently
as soon as he ceased to be of use. The
sirdar looked only to the soldiers who
could march and fight. The wounded
Egyptian and latterly the wounded
British soldier, did not excite his in
terest and of all the departments of his
army the only one neglected was that
concerned with the care of the sick
and injured. The stern and Implying
spirit of the commander was COM
municated to his troops and the vic
tories which marked the progress Of
the river war were accomplished by
acts of barbarity not always justified
by the harsh customs of savage con-
fiicts or the fierce and treacherous ma
ture of the dervish.

A STORY OF JOUBERT.
Why He Would Rather SEQ Of.cers
Killed Than GrIvates

A conversation / had with Gen. Jo,l-
uef. when | met him. with the other
Boer leaders, at Newcastle, South Az
RIGA. in 1881, may now be read with
interest. says correspondent of the
London Times. was deploring the
number of casualties among our Off
GERS on the day of Majuba. "Oh," re-
piled Gen. Joubert, 1--WE give special in
structions to our men always to pick
off your officers" l said, Thank you;
why are we to receive so much atten-
tion?" Now | think there was some
reasoning in Gen. Joubert's reply,
which was as follows: You officers
are all rich and quite independent OF
your profession; you can go into your
army and leave it when you please, bue
the privates are poor men and they
cannot get away when they please, and
they must fight when they are ordered
to, and it is how they get their living.
Besides, we have no quarrel with them,
and we do not want to kill one OF them
If we can help it," | told Joubert of
the promotion of Hector Macdonald
from the ranks, and of the claymore
that the officers of his regiment had
presented him with. The general was
much interested and said: THAT
brave officer must have his sword back
again. / will search the Transvaal for
it and offer e5 reward for it." Gen.
Joubert recovered Lieut.. Hector Mac
Donalds sword from a Boer farmer,
who, when he heard the particulars,
declined to accept the offered reward,
and Gen. Joubert handed his sword
back to Lieut.. Macdonald at New
castle.
