SHIPLOAD OF BEER LOST.
Consignment Worth $4,000 at Manila
Has Mysteriously Disappeared.

y
Washington, d. c., May 19.-Army
quartermasterS are a great deal inter
ested in the mysterious disappearance of
IA shipload of beer. The cargo comprises
seventy barrels of the bottled article, and
was consigned to a former sergeant of
the Third artillery at Malolos from Ma
Mia. The shipment was intended to fur
nish the canteens at MaloloS, Gyngua
and Baliaug, and naturally there was
great deal of interest in the freight
Formerly such articles were shipped
by railroad from Manila, but
recently the railroad facilities from that
place have been taxed to take care of the
regular army supplies, and other goods
have been sent up by cascoes. One of
these cascoes and the cargo was cap
tured about two months ago by party
Of Ladrones, who exacted a tribute of
$40 from the Filipino in charge of the
cargo before it was permitted to proceed
on it's way.
The disappearance of the large guam
tity of beer, which is worth $1,000 in
the Philippines, is accounted for in some
such way. The theory is that it has
fallen into the hands Of those who know
how and where to make the best use of
their booty. The pirates who infest the
smaller bays Of the archipelago keep
careful watch on shipments from Ma
Mia, and cargoes which are sent out
without guard are usually recognized.
and frequently attacked 1t has become
to be the practice that hardly any
cascoes are permitted to leave Manila
without an armed party for protection.

HOT TIME IN OLD LONDON.
People Cheer Baden-PoweII and Sing
"RuIe Britannia.'

London, May 19-The scenes in The
metropolis today outriva the Ladysmith
demonstrations. Many thousands gave
up all thought Of work and their employ
ers were only too glad to join in the holt
daymaking. AS hundreds of loaded
occupants kept up roar of cheering,
which was echoed by the inhabitants Of
the befagged houses along the route.
From dawn the crowds swelled until
the frequented thOroughfares were i'm
passable and vehicular traffic had to be
stopped. No attempt was made to re-
strain the feelings. Silk hats were equal
~ with tho workingman's cap, envel-
CpCd i'll union jacks. Frock- coated bust
ness men did not hesitate to don sash

"Baden-P Powell and Mafeking and vent
ing their enthusiasm through tin horns
while ladies of high degree participated
i'll the high carnival with remarkable
zest
Memorable demonstrations had been
proceeding outside the Mansion house
since early morning. A dense mass Of
SWaying heads, frightened by the ma
tional colors. formed an unbroken plat
form over the immense unbroken space
stretching far up the adjacent streets
Ever and anon the crowd burst forth
with the national anthem, Rule Britain
MA, or "Ihe Absent-Minded Beggar."
Cheers for Baden-Powcll.
The huge picture of Col Powell
was cheered until the crowd was hoarse
and weary. Now and then someone
with cornet or Il flute started pa
tr:otic air. A few hundred broke off the
edge of the mass and. forming an i'm
promptu procession, followed musicians
through the neghboring highways.
A similar feeling of qualification found
expression in the west end and in hard
~ less exuberant fashion, while all the
reports from the provinces re-echo the
stories of London's demonstrations.
The members of the stock exchange
mustered early and bought all the flags
and bunting available. Everyone sported
a Union Jack or a badge of some sort.
The opening of business was delayed
owing TO the excitement. But the stock
brokers had little inclination for business.
and amused themselves by connecting the
telephone through the Paris hourse, SO
that the singing of God Save the
Queen" by lusty-lunged patrols might be
heard there

CHIEF Joseph Cainped in Boarding
hOnSP

Joseph, chief of the Nez Perez Indians,
with four others of his tribe, is stopping
at q boarding house in the central part
OF town, and, just for she sake of feeling
more at home, has turned room of IA
feet square into a bowling tepee IT is
generally hard for the braves visiting
Washington to get lodging in hotels anu
boarding houses, as much on account of
their dislike for soap, water and good to-
baccO as their uncertain bank accounts.
In this instance five white iron beds are
ranged about the wall, after the fashion
of a free ward in a hospital, and upon
each is stretched most Of the time a
lusty brave.
The only luggage is an old leather bag,
in which Chief Joseph keeps his papers
The only part of their wardrobe removed
from sun to sun are the ornamental hats
that hang upon a peg at the head of each
bed. In lieu Of peace pipes each brave
tugs manfully at cigarette, until the
room is a perfect fog of smoke Chief
Joseph is a great friend and admirer of
Gen. Miles, who commanded the forces
that took him and his band captive in
1877, when on the warpath on their old
reservation in Oregon.
He is an old man now, and speaks af-
fectionately Of Gen. Miles treatment of
him, but sadly, and sometimes bitterly,
of the hundreds of deaths among his peo-
pie caused by the cold, wet prison camp
in the Missouri river bottoms just below
Fort Leavenworth Kas. Some of the
generals most valuable Indian relics are
his gratitude for his humane treatment
and assistance when he and his people
were compelled to quit their cid hunting
grounds

$500 miles it will run through country
acquired by the United States at the

Two Vastly Different Things.

Speaking of literary and educated
women, Grant Duff records the following
in the recent installment of his Diary
Mrs. Alfred Morrison told a story,
which | had not heard, of the late
master of Trinity. She declared that the
authorities of Newman had asked per-
mission for the young ladies to play lawn
tennis in the college gardens. The mas
ter wrote back to say that he was heart
broken at being obliged to refuse the first
application they had ever made to him,
but that he had no choice-the gardens
of Trinity being devoted to horticulture,
and not to husbandry"

Gently, that he would run from Hotel
Touraine to Massachusetts avenue by
the way of Commonwealth avenue in
nine minutes. The stake was not
large, only $35, but the acceptance of

they went. and scores of dignified citi-
zens joined in the race. Then came the
policemen and when Perry left the

! he was followed by scores of cabs and
automobiles and hundreds of mon and

was up and the excitement was sur
