News OF the recovery of the body of
Naval Cadet Welborn C. Wood, of Geor-
ga, who was killed by Philippine insur-
gents in the Orani River, Manila Bay, on
September Il, 1899, has been received at
the Navy Department from Rear Admiral

der of the Asiatic fleet. Admiral Kempff
says in his report, which is dated Cavite.

rived at Cavite on October II with a full
| report concerning the recovery OF the re-
mains of Wood and Machinist Gray, but
he does not give any further information

Cadet Wood commanded the Urdaneta,
a small gunboat formerly owned by Spain.
The vessel went aground in the Orani
River and was subjected to fusiIlade by
insurgents concealed on the shore. Wood
and his crew attempted to escape to the
land, but those who were not killed were
captured.

disposition of the vessels under his COM
mand on the date given. He says that
the gunboat Villialobos had returned to
Cavite with Capt. Devereaux Shields and
the company of the Twenty-seventh In
fantry who were captured by the insur-
soldiers secured the island, Admiral
Kempff says, and compelled the insur-
gents to surrender these captives. The
gunbost General Alava sailed on October

boat Basco reported some insurgent ac-
tivity ashore on the north side of Manila

far his superior has been felt by every
man who is worthy of the name of
sportsman, and the delight of pitting
against mere brute strength and saw
agery the cool, unfiinching nerve, the
deliberate calculation and the weap-
ons of precision, which are the
product of trained intelligence and
moral faculties. appeals to all. AS a
rule, the tiger is by nature a coward,
who must be sought by wiles and
strategy; he does not take to human
prey, except when through old age
he is unable to catch the more active
members of the animal wsrld. But
when wounded, when suffering the
pangs of starvation, when guarding
it's cubs, or avenging their death, the
tiger is of all animals the most relcnt-
less and the most cunning in it's on
slaught. Endowed by nature with
every gift that can assist the hunting
carnivora, it is in any of these condi-
tions the most to be feared of all the
beasts that man can meet in mortal
conflict. To be successful tiger shot
requires not only the most unerring
ability with the rife, but a nervous
system completely under control, a
GOODNESS and a presence of mind such
as are called for to like extent in no
other form of sport, and personal
bravery which rises superior even to
that shown on a field of battle, when
excitement of the moment and fever
ish lust for blood will often string up
the courage of the most chicken-heart-

would be as fatal as cowardice. 1t is
