UP RIVER TO BENauET.

From Vigan our party proceeded on
native bamboo rats up the Abrs
river to Benguet, which is the capital
of the wealthy Abra province. Dur
ing the long rainy seasons this river
Is rushing, roaring, tumbling torrent
that defies navigation and laughs to
scorn all the puny efforts of man to
utilize 1t as a transportation route.
On this account the government is
rushing large stores of provisions, am
munition and clothing to BenQuet Tor
the use of the battalion stationed
there, and the morning we went up l
counted thirty RATS In string, each
loaded with government supplies and
guarded by soldier. The banks of
the river are thickly wooded at places
and on several occasions the thick
verdure has hidden bands of Tagal
robbers and cut-throats who have
made ii pretty warm for the men on
RATS. If these natives wouldn't in
valiably shut both eyes aud turn their
heads when they go to shoot, the river
route from Nigan to Benguet would
not be as safe as Broadway, New
York.
At Benguet, a council Of war was
held aud 1t was decided to tutn into

DEATH Of JOHN FOUST.

whelmed his family with grief, in
which the entire community shares.
Mr.. Foust was apparently in good
health up to Tuesday evening when
he became overheated while at work
at his home, afterwards eating very
hearty supper. He came up town in
the evening and wac taken sick at his
stomach and later in the evening
cramped severely. when he was
younger he was subject to this same
stomach trouble but it seldom lasted
so long. Wednesday aud Thursday
night he suffered euch pain that he
was out OF his head a good part Of the
time, and two doctors worked with
him all night that night. Friday he
laid in unconscious stupor which
TO the skilled physicians foretold that
the end was near. Death came
shortly after two O'Clock ard the
young man passed away without re.
gaining consciousness.
a circumstance which has in
creased the medical interest in the
case is the fact that some three
months ago Mr.. Foust was bitten bv
a dog which was afterwards killed
for madness. He went to Fort Scott
and a mad stone was applied to his
wound and it stuck for twenty-fbur
hours, completely reducing the inflam

and Mr.. Foust regained perfect health
Some of the doctors in
cline to the belief that his death was
due TO that former trouble and saw
that the symptoms all pointed to that
being the correct version. Other
doctors, while agreeing as to the
symptoms, believe that the trouble
was due to worry. They say that he
from one OF his old stomach
attacks, but that since his experience
with the mad stone his mind has
iwelt ON the subject of hydrophobia
md he has worried about the
matter until when the present
attack came on, he gave up
md believed that he was doomed
This is the belief of the members of
he family and certainly seems the
more probable. Mr.. Foust never
ave much public expression to his
lows on the subject but the dread
nd uncertainty preyed constantly on ,
us mind until he was all unstrung
nd nervous prostration resulted.

ishing them. many lives were lost. I
nave no idea how many lives were loet,
