ATTACKED A SAILOR.
An Incident of Gen. Miller's Expedi-
tion to Iloilo.

An Incident of Gen. Millcr's Expedi-
tion to Iloilo.
A little incident occurred on the water
boat, alongside of the Newport, which
exempliiies native character. Our sup
ply quartermaster seized the small wa
ter boat, which gets its supply from a
spring on the island of Guimeras. The
water boat is the only means of supply
ing ships in the harbor with water. The
owner of the boat demanded $50 day,
which was refused by the quarter
master.
The owner went away, saying that he
would get even with u.s. No one OBJ
jected when crew Of three natives
came on board the water boat. We had
two American guards on the boat, who
got OH splendidly with the new crew.
The captain of the crew was especially
pleasant to the Amcricans-tried to
talk with the soldiers and in every way
endeavored to make himself agreeable.
That evening at dinner time, just as
dusk was fading into night, the two
sentinels We're eating their dinner at
one end of the water boat; the three
natives were at the other end.
The native captain got up and came
toward the American guards, asking
for n cigarette. Both Americans were
sitting down; one of them threw his
package to the captain. The next mo-
lnent the native crew made rush at
the two guards. They We're so taken
by surprise that they did not have time
even to draw their revolyers. One
American was stabbed in the arm and
showed overheard. He was afterward
picked up by a life-boat, little the worse
for his adventure. The other guard
was found on the deck OF the water
boat with his head split from ear to
ear. Two Of the native crew did not
attempt to escape. and were found in
the water boat. They strongly assert
that they are innocent. The captain
jumped overheard and escaped. The
whole affair was cold blooded and
streacherous murder, planned with ut
ter disregard OF consequences No
doubt the idea was to get possession of
the water boat. Harper's Weekly.

CANAL AND IT'S RELATIONS"

Henry w. Hill, of Buffalo, chairman of the

Of The Canal and It's Relations said in part.
The elaborate reports thai have been made bv
the Commission to ascertain the cause of the de-
cline OF New York's commerce, a well as of the
Canal Committee appointed by Governor Roose-
Welt, will do very much enlighten the peonIe on
this subject and bring their attention the fmpor
tance of further canal improvements During the
last years the canal commerce has been on the
decline and a condition has been reached which
would seem 20 warrant extraordinary efforts being
put forth to regain our declining commerce. II Is
generally believed that the construction of new
Erie Canal large enough to accommodate a tho,I-
sand ton barge will not only regain for NeW-YorI,
commerce, but will hold IL again ali competi-
ton for century to Such a waterway
would prevent the diversion of commerce through
the Canadian canals Montreal as well as pre-
vent railways from diverting il to South Atlantis
seaports The most improved and modernized rail-
road system could not successfully compete with
fleets of barges each OF which would carry 80 600
bushels of wheat. In 1855 the number of vessels
navigating the Great Lakes was 1885 $50 of which
